BEIJING, Feb. 22 -- China planned to cut its water consumption for per unit GDP growth by 20 percent by the end of 2010, or an annual drop of four percent during the 2006-2010 period, according to the Ministry of Water Resources.
According to the target, a total of 69 billion cubic meters of water will be saved in the five-year period through reduction of per unit GDP water consumption.
Statistics from the ministry show that China's per 10,000 yuan GDP water consumption was 399 cubic meters in 2004, about four times the world average and eight times that of the United States and other developed countries.
China's water consumption for per 10,000 yuan industrial added value was 196 cubic meters in 2004, compared with less than 50 cubic meters in developed countries.
China only had 60 percent to 65 percent of its industrial water recycled, compared with 80 percent to 85 percent in developed countries.
There is huge potential for water saving in China," said Wang Shucheng, minister of water resources.
According to plan, China will establish 100 pilot projects in water saving in the 2006-2010 period and successful experiences drawn from the pilot projects will be popularized across the country.
China will also control the gross amount of water consumption and sets water consumption quotas to reach the goal of water saving.
Localities will be required to establish their mechanism to manage use of water.
Currently, China's per capita water resources is about 2,200 cubic meters, or one-fourth of the world's average.

Winnipeg homeless man again hailed a hero
Updated Fri. Sep. 4 2009 9:15 PM ET
A Winnipeg homeless man who saved a teen from the Red River in May is again being called a hero after he leapt into the water on Friday to help a drowning woman and her boyfriend.
But as police and friends praised Faron Hall, 44, for saving the drowning woman, Hall himself was deeply troubled by the loss of his friend.
Though Hall acted quickly and dove into the deep, fast-moving water, he wasn't able to pull both people to safety.
"I tried, I tried to save both of them," Hall said, sitting near the river bank and speaking to police.
By the afternoon, police had pulled the body of a man from the river.
According to witnesses, a group of friends were hanging out near the river when a woman accidentally fell into eight-metre-deep water near the city's Norwood Bridge.
The woman's boyfriend then dove into the water to help her, but neither of them could swim.
Witness Leonard Kies said Hall did his best to save both people, but it was simply too difficult to bring both of them to shore.
"(Hall) went under. You can tell by the mud on him, he went under to the bottom. He couldn't save his friend, his friend is gone," Kies said.
The deceased is a 28-year-old man with a daughter, CTV Winnipeg reported. His name hasn't been released yet.
Hall, who struggles with alcoholism, was thrust into the spotlight in the spring, when he saved a teenager from the Red River. Hall had been living under a nearby bridge for about seven years before the rescue.
While Hall received accolades from the city and the provincial government, he still calls the banks of the river home.

A purported new video of Osama bin Laden shows the al-Qaeda leader urging Americans to convert to Islam to stop the Iraq war, but the video does not contain any overt threat ahead of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The videotape's authenticity has not yet been confirmed, but media organizations have quoted unnamed U.S. officials as saying it appeared to have been made as recently as this summer.
In a soft voice, and measured tone, the man purported to be bin Laden delivers a wandering 30-minute tirade against democracy, capitalism and Western political leaders.
He specifically refers to U.S. President George W. Bush, the Democratic victory in U.S. Congress, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who was elected in May, and new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who took office in June.

9.求五篇關于最近時事新聞的英語短文
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty. Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career. 學習之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。
攝取了適量的營養食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發達。同樣地，我們應該日復一日不斷地學習以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴充我們的智力容量。
不斷的學習提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續的學習是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅的最穩當的方法，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。
一旦學習停止，單調貧乏的生活就開始了。視學校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬誤。
相反地，學習應該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學習停頓數日就將使人落后。
更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們人格的欲望。缺少學習將不可避免地導致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。
因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學習當作一生的事業。 * schoolwork【課業繁重】 In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole. 我認為目前高中生的課業實在太重了，雖然說學生的確應當念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。
娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費時間，它可以讓學生鍛煉身體，發揮被繁重課業扼殺的想象力。此外，繁重的課業加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。
我并非主張廢除學校課業，但是我認為減輕目前繁重的課業對于學生和整個社會都是有益的。 *【時間】 Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change. Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I've done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time. 時光一去不復返，這是我上學期清楚學到的教訓。
我浪費很多時間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。最后我終于了解到我必須有所作為；該是痛改前非的時候了。
現在我有一個明智運用時間的新方法。我已將鬧鐘早撥半小時，這將使我這一天的作息提前開始。
我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來。回顧我所做的事情會啟發我如何重新安排我的時間。
* and Play【工作與娛樂】 Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. 。
