After a study showed that one in every ten meals in the country may be cooked in with dirty oil, the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) on Thursday issued an emergency notice （发布紧急通知）to restaurants nationwide, warning them against recycling oil.
The swill-oil is cooking oil refined from kitchen waste that has been recycled. Although it looks clean and clear, it’s actually so dangerous to people’s health that it may cause cancer.
According to a report, the swill-oil business is extremely profitable. Recycling one ton of kitchen waste will produce 130 kg of swill oil. With its price being half that of normal cooking oil, a profit（利润）of 1.5 to 2 billion yuan is produced in the whole swill-oil business in the country every year. The profit is almost 200%, so it’s easy to understand why the business is so hot.
He Dongping, a professor from Wuhan Polytechnic(WHPU) said, “To stop the use of dirty oil should start at its source, kitchen waste. And the first step is to find a good way of collecting kitchen waste.” “However, it might take about 10 years before China could solve the problem completely,” he added.

Several days ago, a Beijing-based IT company fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift—the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”
The book—a bestseller in the US—is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca-Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.
Cheese is something related to everyone’s livelihood-Our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well.
With China’s official entry into the WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what we should do once this“cheese”on which we are so dependent is moved?
“Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely,” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.
Professor Zhang Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.”
“With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese.” Zhang smiled confidently.

When Webster was young，he was a teacher. But he quickly became tired of the books he used in class. They were all about the English people and places. Since he wanted books that would be interesting to the American children，he wrote three books with many American examples.
Webster worked hard to change the spelling of American English. He wanted words to be spelled in the same way they were pronounced，for example，he thought the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. And he tried many ways to ask people to help him do this.
One day he walked into a print shop and gave the boy there a piece of paper. “Young man，”he said，“when you print any book in the future，please don't spell the words like the English people do. For example，when you see these words：theatre，centre, colour，and labour，please always print them as theater，center，color and labor.” The boy studied it and answered，“I agree with you，but I must ask my boss first.”
With the money he made from his books，Webster could start his great work，which took him more than twenty years to finish the first American English dictionary. And today，Webster's dictionary is thought to be the most important American English dictionary in the whole world.
