lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke
caused by air pollution.
But things could start to get better soon. The government is co-operating with a US-
based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel
technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel vehicles (柴
油机) by 40 per cent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the
technology can be applied to them.
"We encourage the development of public transportation. But at the same time we need
to reduce pollution from them," said an official.
Efforts are being made to improve the capital"s environment with tighter controls on
emissions (排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those
owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November
and December or be closed. Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of
last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made
some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998
the air quality index (指数) gave just 100 days as good.
"I am glad to see an improvement," said a Senior 1 boy living in the northwest of
Beijing. "Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though.
I hate the pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic
accident because I couldn"t see a car only metres away from me in frog."

provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other
medical employees. From the viewpoint of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly
important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the
hospital.
A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. however , each must be equally
dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most
nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.
Under the supervision (监管) of the head nurse, the nursing staff must provide nursing
services on a 24-hour basis and attend to patients" needs. This responsibility continues
around the clock, and so nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually
eight in length. The nurses on the ward rotate their shifts. Some take turns working night
duty; others work odd shifts.
A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all
nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under
intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who
do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital.

person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a
profession.

The Rotary Club of Navsari operates an eye hospital and 9 area eye centers in and
around Navsari, whose services are for the poorest people. The group opened the hospital,
the Rotary Eye Institute of Navsari, in 1970. Institute officials say India has only about
one ophthalmologist for every 120,000 people. The Institute, however, has ten such
specially trained eye doctors. It has restored or improved the eyesight of thousands of
patients. Many people far from the city. Teams from it travel as far as 150 kilometers to
see patients. People go to their nearest camp, for conditions including glaucoma (青光眼),
night blindness and other problems. Some people are found to have cataracts, abnormal
growths on the eye that can lead to loss of eyesight. India has about 13 million people
with the condition. Cataract patients get free operations to correct the problem.
Rotary groups also operate eye banks. Doctors at these centers replace damaged eyes
with the healthy eyes of donors who have just died. One such center is the Rotary Rajan
Eye Bank. It operates in cooperation with the Rajan Eye Care Hospital in Chennai. The Eye
Bank opened in 1996. Hundreds of patients have received new corneas from donors since
then. The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that transmits light. 2 million people

to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds
of exercise.
Regular, brisk walks help a person"s body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart
and healthier lungs. The heart pumps blood through the body. It gets more rest between
beats. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart diseases. The lungs work
better because they take in and use oxygen more effectively. Walking can help , too. A
quick fifteen-minute walk buns as many calories as jogging the same distance in half the
time. Walking causes very few injuries. So there is also a lower "dropout" rate among
walkers than among runners. People are more likely to continue a walking program. This
gives a better chance for success.
Walking offers some mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many
walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have
a better attitude about life.
Walking offers many of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of
exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too.
★Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons of coaching. To become a
serious walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther and more often.
★People can walk almost anywhere. There are no special playing fields or courts for
walking. Sidewalks, streets, parks, fields and malls are excellent places for walking.
★People can walk almost anytime. A person doesn"t need a team or a partner for
walking. There is no "season" for walking. Most walkers walk in all kinds of weather.
★Walking doesn"t cost anything. There are no special fees for walking. Good walking
shoes and comfortable clothes are only equipment that a walker needs.
Walking offers a form of exercise within the reach of nearly everyone. With a little
time and effort, people can rediscover a valuable form of exercise and improve their
fitness.

| An allergy (过敏反应) is a strong reaction to a substance. Many things can cause allergies. The most common cause is pollen (花粉), which is usually produced by trees in the spring, grasses in the summer and weeds in the fall, as part of their reproductive process. Other causes include organisms, chemicals, plants and dead skin particles (微粒) from dogs and cats can also cause allergic reactions. So can insect stings and some food. The most common kind of allergic reactions is itchy (痒的), watery eyes and a blocked or watery nose. Allergies can also cause red, itchy skin. Some reactions can be life- threatening, for example, when breathing passages become blocked. It is not always easy to avoid allergies. Drugs may offer an effective treatment. Another treatment used in some cases is called immunotherapy (免疫疗法). A patient is injected with small amounts of the allergy-causing substance. The idea is that larger and larger amounts are given over time until the patient develops a resistance in his body. In the United States, experts estimate that up to 8% of young children have food allergies. Every year these allergies cause about 30,000 cases with severe reactions that require immediate treatment. It can result in breathing trouble and in some cases death. It is said that about 100 to 200 people will die. It says most of the reactions are caused by peanuts and tree nuts like walnuts. People can also be allergic to medicines. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says about 10% of bad reactions to commonly used medicines are allergic.
