Step 1: Read and learn (Project)
◆ Listen to the text and grasp the general spirit of the text
Are you tired of seeing the same view out of your window? Do you wish you could travel and see beautiful places all over the world? In this section, you are going to do some research and make a travel leaflet for a place you want to visit.
Shangri-la
Would you like the chance to discover a place of mystery and beauty in the south-west of China? If your answer is “yes”, consider a trip to Shangri-la!
How to get there
Start in the city of Dali and drive northwards along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway until you reach Zhongdian (Shangri-la), the capital of Diqing. Zhongdian is 659 kilometers away from Kunming, and there are regular flights between the two cities.
The world-famous Chinese Shangri-la
The word 'Shangri-la' first appeared in a classic novel by James Hilton. Today, Shangri-la becomes a common English word meaning haven on earth. Hilton described a beautiful kingdom where three rivers joined together, steep mountains reached to the sky, and fields of long grass covered the earth. In this perfect world lived people who had discovered how to stay young forever.
Which place could officially take the name of this wonderful land? There were arguments over which tourist spot would win the name of Shangri-la. Many years after the book was published, some people realized that the Shangri-la of the novel was a perfect match for Zhongdian in Yunnan Province, China. In September 1997, the government of Yunnan Province announced that Zhongdian was the Shangri-la of Hilton's story.
What you will see in Shangri-la
Three mountains, Meili, Baimang and Haba, which are covered with snow, tower over the land. Their snowy mountaintops form a beautiful picture that will leave you at a loss for words.
Below the mountains, the sunshine reflects on the many lakes, making them shine like diamonds against the rich countryside. Sheep, cattle and horses wander on the green grass, and the surrounding forests are home to many birds and animals. In this peaceful land, people live in perfect

harmony with nature, far away from the noisy and worry of the outside world.
Nature has provided Shangri-la with endless natural treasures, making the land a happy home for the local people.
What the weather is like
The weather changes so quickly that people say you can experience four seasons in one day. The best times to visit Shangri-la are spring and autumn when the temperature is at its mildest.

◆ “低碳经济”是一个具有广泛社会性的经济前沿理念，最早是在2003年英国政府发布的能源白皮书《我们能源的未来：创建低碳经济》正式提出的。低碳经济包括低碳发展、低碳产业、低碳技术和低碳生活等经济形态，是指在不影响经济发展的前提下，通过技术创新和制度创新，降低能源和资源消耗，尽可能最大限度地减少温室气体和污染物的排放，实现减缓气候变化的目标，促进人类的可持续发展。
Protection of Environment
There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. The polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.
To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.
In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. Firstly, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Secondly, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.
