Should private car owners be taxed for pollution?

Although cars have brought us much convenience, many people have begun to realize that they are the source of trouble as well, in that the cars, especially the private cars, not only can lead to the traffic problem, but also has been a major source of pollution.As a result, as to the pollution tax on private cars, to my knowledge, the tax should be collected to call cars’ owners’ attention to the pollution.First and foremost, tax collection on the private cars can effectively keep within limits to the people’s purchasing power on private cars.Since China has such a large population, the popularization of private cars will only bring about more serious pollution.Therefore, once we are in control of the number of the private cars, the surroundings polluted by vehicle exhaust can be improved effectively and efficiently.In addition, if the owners of private cars are collected tax for pollution and the tax is decided by the emission levels of cars, the owners will try various devices to reduce the cars’ emission, for example renewal some parts of cars regularly and cleaning those machines and so on.These measures can significantly reduce the poisonous gas emission.To sum up, tax collection on private car owners for pollution can make people think twice to buy a appropriate car and urge them to maintain cars regularly.Consequently, I firmly approve to tax private car owners for pollution.April 19

Tourism Does Do Harm to the Environment

Last week, I was going through The Sunday Times, when a news story caught my eye.A local government in Yunnan got rid of a forest for the building up of a tourist resort.As a result, a rare species of wood crane was rendered homeless.Despite the effort by the locals, these birds still extinguished.It is, indeed, a typical example to show that tourism does do harm to the natural balance of environment.

To begin with, over-expansion of tourism is, of course, destructive to the environment.As it brings huge tides of tourists and certainly big revenues to scenic spots, devastating pollution comes along.Such increased amount of exhaust as released from air traveling and vehicles are the worst results, not to mention other wastes brought along by tourists themselves.Secondly, too much traveling causes irreparable damages to the non-renewable resource of environmental nature.Once exhausted, these resources can be in no way reproduced.Finally, excessive tourism disturbs harmony between humans and natural environment, posing a big threat to their own existence.That is why we see, in so many resorts, polluted rivers, dirty air and “white wastes”.

To sum up, life is too short to live in one place and traveling is human nature.However, as vacations come, and we are working out a big plan to go somewhere, we should keep in our mind the risks posed by excessive traveling so that we possibly do it in a restrained way.

TV—Blessing or Curse？ ？ Few things in the modern world have so much influence on people as the television does.Being besieged with TV news，absorbing teleplays，well-masterminded programmes，one can easily conclude that TV is a real blessing to the human society，offering affluent entertainment and information.Yet，convenient and helpful as it is，the television also brings negative effects.To begin with，TV makes people more passive than before： since everything on TV is ready-made，there is no space for audience's initiatives.The news has been carefully edited，teleplays well shot，programmes rehearsed，so all you need to do—and all you can do is to sit on a comfortable sofa and look at the screen.Though a lot of people enjoy doing this，the undoubted truth is that people are becoming more passive simply because there is no interaction and no efforts on them.

Television also contributes to the fact that people nowadays are more distant to each other.Since most of our free time is taken away by the act of watching TV，we can no longer find enough time to visit friends，call on relatives or go to interesting places.This is also true within a family，parents and children and other members are less close to each other，because family get-togethers and conversations are disturbed by TV—when one member is watching TV，he would like ot

hers to keep quiet.Of course I am not denying the great conveniences and huge benefits the TV brings us，but to make it a really blessing to us，we should try to avoid its negative effects.错误！未找到引用源。错误！未找到引用源。错误！未找到引用源。错误！未找到引用源。

To Lie or Not to Lie-----the Doctor’s Dilemma Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients, especially to the incurably（治不好地）ill and the dying? Doctors confront such choices often and urgently.Some people believe that doctors should lie for the patient’s own sake, and such lies differ from self-serving(自私的)ones.Others don’t agree.In my part, I think the doctors should not lie, and they should tell the truth to the patients.Firstly, studies show that an overwhelming majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about grave illness, and feel betrayed when

they learn that they been misled.We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness: helps them tolerate pain better, need less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.Secondly, lies invade the autonomy of patients and render（致使）them unable to make informed choices concerning their own health, including the choice of whether to be a patient in the first place.Thirdly, dying patients especially---who are easiest to mislead and most often kept in the dark---can then not make decisions about the end of life: about whether or not they should enter a hospital, or have surgery;about where and with whom they should spend their remaining time;about how they bring their affairs to a close and take leave.There is urgent need to debate this issue openly.Lies do harm to those who tell them: harm to their integrity 正直，（诚实）and, in the long run, to their credibility（可靠，可信）.Lies hurt the entire medical profession.

Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment? China’s economic growth has brought fast development to tourism since 1978.An increasing number of people start to go on traveling, which unavoidably bring harm to the environment.On the one hand, tourism leads to the destruction of ecological balance.Many so called green parks have been built to attract visitors.However, the constructions of those parks need lots of trees because they can be made into artificial chairs, tables or wood house, so tourism also causes the decline in areas of the green land, which adds the risk of floods.On the other hand, tourism causes water pollution.Some places of interest are famous for natural beauty, like some big waterfalls and lakes, but some rude behaviors, such as leaving plastic bags in the water indeed have a bad effect to water.To sum up, I think it is not worth sacrificing environment to develop economic.As citizens, everyone should do their own part to protect our environment.March 27, 2009 Dearly Lily, I have learned from an ad that a schoolboy is looking for a private English-language tutor.I think it is a good chance for you so you can get a part-time job at your free time.Most important of all, you want to be a teacher, your dream.I hope you will take the opportunity and may you succeed.Yours，Rose
