After a serious earthquake (地震) happened， a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to his son’s school， only to find that the building where his son studied had collapsed and looked like a pancake.
He was shocked. He didn’t know what he should do for a while， then he remembered the words he had said to his son， “No matter what happens， I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging through the ruins (废墟).
As he was digging， other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the ruins， saying ， “It’s too late! They’re all dead! There’s nothing you can do !” To them he replied， “Are you going to help me now?” And then he kept on digging.
No one helped， however. He went on alone because he needed to know for himself： “Is my boy alive or he is dead?” He dug for eight hours…12 hours… 24 hours …36 hours …then ， in the 39th hour， he pulled back a rock and heard his son’s words. He shouted his son’s name， “ARMAND!” He heard back， “Dad! It’s me， Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive， you’d save me and when you saved me， they’d be saved. You promised， ‘No matter what happens， I’ll always be there for you!’ You did it， Dad!” “What’s going on there? How is it?” the father asked.
“There are 14 of us left out of 33， Dad. We’re frightened， hungry， thirsty and thankful you’re here. When the building fell down， it made a triangle (三角)， and it saved me.”
“Come out， boy!”
“No， Dad! Let the other kids out first， because I know you’ll get me! No matter what happens， I know you’ll always be there for me!”

Foggy weather (雾霾天气) always makes people uncomfortable. When it comes to our health， it becomes more dangerous. When winter comes， we see a lot of foggy days in North China. The air is very bad for our health. The government decided to fight air pollution until the end. On December 5th， the Ministry of Environment Protection made a plan for cutting down air pollution for the coming years. According to this plan， China tries to cut the PM 2.5 pollution at least 5 % by 2015 in 117 cities. Human activities are the biggest reason of the PM 2.5 pollution， especially like motor vehicle emissions (机动车排放物).
Health experts say that smaller particles (颗粒) are far more dangerous and may get bad results on hearts and other important parts of our bodies. They can not be stopped in our nose， so they can travel into our bodies.
"The beginning of the plan is to improve air quality and solve the PM 2.5 problem. This problem has a bad result to many people，" said Zhao Hualin who works for the ministry. He added that the key point is to protect (保护) people's health.
To finish the five-year-plan， China will use clean energy (清洁能源). At the same time， the country will use more city buses and subways to control the number of new cars.
