On October 26, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress reviewed a draft revision( 修訂草案) to the law on the protection of minors ( 未成年人) for the first time, China Daily reported. The draft includes a number of new and improved rules to strengthen the protection of minors.

One focus is bullying. A survey of primary and middle school students showed that more than 32 percent of students have experienced bullying at school, Global Times reported.

The draft asks schools to set up rules to prevent bullying and to report any bullying events to parents. They are also being asked to work with the government when dealing with such incidents.

The draft also includes a new part- Internet Protection. It aims to protect children when they're online. For example, it says that places that provide internet services for teenagers, such as schools and libraries, should have protective software (軟件) on their computers.

It also asks online game providers to sort through their products and do something to keep minors away from games that are not suitable for them.

The draft revision has been widely welcomed. As the law on the protection of teenagers was revised (修訂) in 2006 last time, it was found to have difficulties solving certain problems that are more common today.

"The draft revision meets the society's needs in time," Zhang Jie, a researcher at the Communication University of China, told Xinhua.

Just like people, the slowing in the growth of trees is related to their age. Trees grow more slowly as they age. At a certain age, they necessarily stop gaining height.【2】. But by the time the tree reaches 90 years of age, its growth has slowed to about half a meter--about a foot and a half- a year. By the time the tree is 150 years old, height growth has almost stopped, even though the tree may live another 100 years.

Some scientists suggest that tree cells ( 細胞 ) are like animal cells: that is,【3】. If a tree's cells stop dividing, then it stops getting taller. Another idea is that a tree's height is limited by the way it carries water from its roots to its leaves. Inside a tree, water moves upward, pulled towards the leaves. Some scientists put forward an idea that once a tree reaches old age and is tall enough, the downward pull of gravity (重力) makes it more and more difficult for the tree to pull the water all the way to its upper branches ( 樹枝 ) and leaves.

So do trees stop growing? They do, and they don't. At some point, their height is more or less fixed at the same height as other trees of that kind.【4】.

A.and trees add new rings year after year

B.the height growth will keep going on for centuries

C.they have to stop growing after a certain number of divisions

D.But trees continue to add width to their trunks throughout their lives to put out new branches and sprout (生長; 發(fā)芽) leaves.

E.As a young tree, it might grow two to three meters or even about seven to ten feet every year

On a Chinese New Year's Eve, my uncle spoke to me in Chinese, but I just stared at him, confused, shaking my head. "Still can't speak Chinese?” He said, "You can't even buy a fish in Chinatown(唐人街)”.

“Hey, this is America, not China. I'll get some right now with or without Chinese.” I replied and turned to my mom for permission.

“Remember to ask for fresh fish, Xin Xian Yu, " she said, giving me a $20 bill. I repeated the words, running downstairs into the streets of Chinatown.

I found the fish store soon. It was very crowded. I'd like to buy some fresh fish, I shouted to the man. But he paid no attention to my English words and turned to serve the next customer. People behind laughed at me. I felt angry, “fresh fish. Xian Sheng Yu, please.” “Very Xian Sheng,” I repeated. The crowd laughed even louder. My face turned red and I ran back home empty-handed, except for the $20 bill in my pocket.

People read the books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently the Internet and computer games, 1. it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives. Books offer an excellent wealth of learning at a much cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people much clever, because 2. heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

Everything in today's society requires reading. 3. Imagine doing something as simple as reading the instructions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books only strengthens( 增強) our reading abilities. 4.閱讀是我們在業(yè)余時間可以做的最有必要的事情之一。

With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. A good library has lots of types of books for different ages. 5. 無論你多大年紀，閱讀在你的生活中都是非常重要的。 So I think people should read books.
