Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road).

According to experts, arctic sea ice has been shrinking by three percent each decade since the 1970s, and that shortens the season when polar bears can hunt seals. Polar bears are an important indicator to ge t an understanding of what’s happening in the Arctic. There are a lot of other species that will be affected by climate change and/or pollution, but when you look at it, polar bears are much easier to study in a lot of respects and we can catch the same individuals over a long period of time. We can follow them for many years and get good insights into what is happening. The impact of climate change on polar bears underscores the critical need to reduce carbon pollution, which is widely blamed for global warming. Experts now say if climate keeps getting hotter, in 100 years by the end of each summer, there will be no ice at all in the Arctic Ocean. In view of the worsening climatic situation, nations have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change. The Kyoto climate treaty requires all nations to reduce their carbon emissions so that the negative impact of climate change can be halted. It is the only global effort to fight climate change, and it is a good step forward in the right direction.

More people die of tuberculosis (结核病)than of any other disease caused from a single agent. This has probably been the case for quite a while. During the early stages of the industrial revolution, perhaps one for every seven deaths in Europe’s crowded cities were caused by the disease. From then on, though, western eyes, missing the global picture, saw the trouble going into decline. With occasional breaking of war, ∧rates of death and infection in Europe and America dropped steadily through the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1950s, the introduction of antibiotics weakened the trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were allowed to be exported to poor countries. Medical researchers declared victory and withdrow. They were wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections and deaths started to pick up again around the world. Where tuberculosis had vanished, it came back; in many places where they had never been away, it grew worse. The World Health Organization estimate that 1.7 billion people (a third of the earth’s population) suffer from tuberculosis.
