Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument. The earth is known to go through cycles; although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced. A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.

　　中國城市化(urbanization)將會充分釋放潛在內需(domestic demand)。一些經濟學家指出，在中國幾乎所有的發展中城市都面臨 著城市化的進程。這使得許多人的生活水平有所提高，也為人們提 供更多的就業機會。隨著越來越多的人向城市遷徙，住房及城市基礎設施建設(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供應將會 成為城市發展的焦點問題。商品與服務的自由、快速流通是城市化 社會的一項基本特征。逐漸擴張的城市需要更多的零售店來滿足消費者的需求。

　　China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation. The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Ex-panding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers.

　　盡管音樂對每個人來說，都再熟悉不過了，但是幾乎每個人對 這門藝術都有自己的觀點看法。什么音樂算是好的音樂，這是見仁 見智的。各個音樂風格都有自己的經典音樂作品流行的并不完全等 于經典的。一個好的音樂作品，是創作者(creator)和演奏者(performer) 雙方共同努力的結果，二者相輔相成，缺一不可。

　　While music is familiar to virtually everyone it is an art, about which everyone has an opinion. What defines “great” music is, very much, a personal issue. There is “great” music in every style but what is popular does not always define the quality. Music is a joint effort between the creator and the performer and one cannot exist without the other.
