选项
答案 Land in your country to be left in its natural condition or to be developed?
    With a population accounting nearly for one quarter of the world population, my country, China, has been suffering from serious loss of arable land, which now hardly accounts for 7% of overall arable land of the world. Yet some people simply do not realize that land loss is so crucial that we one day might be incapable of averting that catastrophe if we now close our eyes to it.
    Industrial development without careful consideration regarding land preservation has caused problems more serious than people can ever imagine. Take, for example, the great Three Gorges dam, which will be put into operation next year. While the country benefits from gargantuan potential of electricity generation, we have to face up to various environmental conservation issues concerning the geological and ecological environment along both river sides and the whole upper reaches. The professional designers of the great dam now have to work out a practical way to prevent and remedy pollution effectively, which has already been the focus of world attention.
    After the entrance of the WTO, industry development is more and more important for our country, yet we should be careful about the pollution which is inevitably caused by industry. Recent surveys have shown that refuse treatment engineering is not well financed in China, while attentions are drawn to those much more obvious achievements. Industrial pollution accidents occur far more frequently in our still developing country than in other more advanced countries. The urban population also produces astoundingly large amounts of pollution. Today the alleged white pollution is creeping all over the country—people throw plastic bags and films everywhere, never feeling anything wrong.
    We no doubt need land either for natural conditions or for industry, and it seems we need more if possible. Nevertheless, we live in a world where everything has its cost, and some day in the future, I believe, we will inescapably pay for what we have ignored.
