热点1:三鹿奶粉事件 近期,“三鹿奶粉事件”吵得沸沸扬扬。经相关部门调查,发现三鹿牌婴幼儿配方奶粉里有一种对婴儿有害的物质三聚氢胺。到目前为止,奶粉污染事件已导致4名婴儿死亡,约5,4000名婴儿染病。假如你是一名记者,请你对这一事件做一下简要介绍并发表自己今后对如何确保食品安全的看法。字数130左右。 Recently, the incident of Sanlu milk powder has become the focus of people’s attention. According to the investigation of related departments, the powder was found to contain a chemical called C3N6H6 which can cause great damage to infants’ health. So far, four children have died and approximately 54,000 have developed illness after drinking the milk. From this incident, we can see that there are still more things to be done. Firstly, the government needs everything possible to ensure the quality of products, particularly the safety of food as this concerns everyone's life. Secondly, as for the producers, it is very important for them to be morally honest. They should never try to pursue profit or economic growth at the expense of health and life of people. Thirdly, we consumers must attach importance to the things we eat and develop an awareness of how to protect our legal rights if cheated. Only in this way will we be able to build a more secure and harmonious society. 热点2:神舟七号 Do We Need Space Exploration? Man has been fascinated by outer space for thousands of years. It has been almost over forty years since man's first landing on the moon. Now, some people believe that space exploration is a sheer waste of time and money. They point out the fact that it cost billions of dollars to carry on the space research, but a little information was brought back. However,every coin has two sides. There are still a majority of other people who believe that space exploration has more advantages. And I agree with those people. Many new products, such as weather and communication satellites, are also products of space programs, and they have benefited people all over the world. And what's more, scientific knowledge about outer space has been acquired by mankind.
We believed that it wiil bring more benefits in the future, which we can not even imagine now. Space exploration is a challenge to human beings. That's why several nations try hard to carry out space exploration continuously. Chinese astronaut to spacewalk on Sep. 27 An astronaut will spacewalk outside the capsule on the afternoon of September 27, Gu Yidong, the commander-in-chief and chief designer of the spacecraft application system of China's manned space program, explained to the media on September 23. Earlier on September 23, several news portal websites reported that a Shenzhou VII astronaut would spacewalk at 16:30 – the day after launch. They said if Shenzhou VII was launched at 21:10 on September 25, the astronaut would leave the capsule at 16:30 on September 26. However, Gu corrected the reports, explaining that the spacewalk would begin on the day after orbit is achieved. If the launch was on September 25, the spacecraft would enter orbit on 26, and the astronaut would spacewalk on the afternoon of 27. Experts said the spacecraft would climb to an altitude of 300 km and then into outer space. Though the astronaut would be protected by the special seat and garment, he would need a certain period of time to adjust to the environment. He might experience nausea, vomiting or other discomfort if he left the capsule too early. Six astronauts – the three confirmed Shenzhou VII team members Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming, and Jing Haipeng, plus their back-ups – moved to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China's Gansu Province on September 21. One of the three astronauts onboard Shenzhou VII will step out of the capsule and conduct a historic space walk that will be telecast live. 热点3:“鸟巢”介绍 假如你是一名导游,请你根据所给的提示,向来北京观光的外国游客介绍2008年北京奥运会主体育场—“鸟巢”。 1、场馆名称:国家体育场(鸟巢) 2、建设地点:奥林匹克公园 3、建筑面积:258,000平方米;长330米;宽220米;高69.2米 4、座席数:91,000 5、赛时功能:奥运会开幕式和闭幕布式;田径、足球 6、赛后功能:体育比赛和文化、娱乐活动中心 7、开工时间:2003年12月24日 8、完工时间:2007年底 9、评价:中国十大新建筑奇迹之一 Welcome to Beijing!

With the rapid development of industry and great increase in employment, more people are swarming into cities. Accommodations have become ever difficult, causing inconvenience to people's work and life. Many proposals have been put forward to solve this problem. Some suggest that more high buildings be constructed. Some insist that the underground be developed. Others propose that satellite cities be built. Still others argue that cities should be expanded to move people to the suburbs. Personally, I am in favor of building satellite cities in the suburbs.
