Preceding from its national conditions, China has in the process of promoting its overall modernization program made environmental protection one of its basic policies regarded the realization of sustained economic development as an important strategy and meanwhile carried out throughout the country campaigns for pollution prevention and treatment as well as ecological environmental protection.
Over the 18 years since its adoption of reform and opening policy, China's gross national product has achieved a sustained average annual growth of around10 percent. While its environment has basically ceased from deteriorating, the results of our work have shown that China’s endeavor in striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection has been effective.
As a member of the international community, while making great efforts to protect its own environment. China has taken an active part in international environmental protection affairs to promote international cooperation in environmental protection and earnestly fulfilled her international obligations. All these have given full expression to the sincerity and determination of the Chinese government and people to protect the global environment.
Mankind still faces a great many difficulties in solving the problems of the environment and development and there is a grand task to perform and a long way to go. China will do as it did in the past to cooperate with other countries of the world and strive for the protection of the environment for human survival for the happiness and prosperity of humanity and for the benefits of our children.

Modern Life in the Modern World

Many people insist that now we live in the most wonderful and promising era in history , as more and more machines take over our hard work, making our societies more efficient and our lives more comfortable. For instance, telephone and cell phone become so popular that you can anywhere if you want. Household electrical appliances free us from housework so that we can enjoy more leisure time. Modern transportation makes the world so small that you can travel by air from one city to another in a few hours which could take several days by trains.
In spite the above benefits we gained from the development of science and technology, however, everyone now worries about the pressure modern life. As more and more machines are applied in our daily life, life pace keeps getting faster and the world is getting too complex. As we pursue more and more material things such as luxury cars, personal computers, big houses etc. our financial pressures are growing. As job markets become shrinking and job competition becomes intense, everyone worries about losing his job. What’s more, many people are now faced with the threat of terrorists or live in constant fear because of the unfair wealth distribution between the rich and the poor.
Since human beings are largely a pleasure seeking and pain-avoiding creature, we never stop inventing things to release us from hard labor. And we also try our best to prove that we are the masters of our
surrounding .That’s why our civilization keeps going forward and every new generation benefits from the efforts made by previous one. As high tech develops at a surprisingly high speed, we will gain more instead of suffering more and our future bright and promising.
