BEIJING—The sky is gray and air smells strange. It’s another day of smog.
On Saturday, heavy haze（霾）still covered north and east China. Highways were closed and couldn’t take off on time.
The smoggy weather the country’s land from north to south, including Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, and 6 other provinces. People could only see clearly than 50 meters in some areas.
Cities Shanghai and Nanjing have been covered by the gray sky for the past several days. Many walkers in the street had to wear . In the Lukou airport in Nanjing, more than 60 flights were canceled(取消) on Saturday the haze, which also made primary and middle schools and kindergartens stop on Thursday and Friday in Nanjing.
The office worker of Environmental Protection said earlier this week that there were several reasons behind the widespread haze: unpleasant weather conditions making difficult for smog to disappear, motor vehicle exhaust（尾气）, and coal use for winter heating.
To fight pollution, the Chinese government now plans to clean up the air by cutting coal use, some factories, and removing 6 million old cars from the roads.
“We must face up to the facts,” said Yan Naiqiang, a professor of environmental science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. “The treatment of smog will be a long fight. From now on, if we use buses or cars less and do more riding, we believe a clear sky is not a faraway dream.”

Barefoot (赤脚的) and dirty, the girl just sat there and watched the people go by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many people , but never did one person stop.
The next day, I decided to go back to the park, being curious if the little girl would still be there. Right in the very spot as she was the day before, she sat, with the look on her face.
As I began walking towards her, I could see the back of the little girl’s dress showed a deformity (畸形的). As I got closer, the little girl slightly her eyes to avoid (避开) my stare.
I sat down beside her and opened with a simple . The little girl stammered (结结巴巴地说) a hi. I smiled and she shyly smiled back. We talked darkness fell and the park was completely empty.
“Why are you so sad?”
She replied slowly, “Because I’m .”
“Little girl,” I said in a soft voice, “You me of an angel because of your difference.”
She stood to her feet excitedly, “Really?”
“Yes, that’s the thing. You’re like a little angel sent to watch over all those people walking by.”
She nodded her head and smiled, “ I am. And since you think of someone yourself, my job here is done.”
What a big ! I stood quickly, “Wait, so why did no one stop to help an angel?”
She bloomed(绽放) a big smile, “You’re the one who could see me, because you care for others.” With those words, she spread her wings and flied away from my sight.
From then on, I believe I am not all I have, for there is an angel always me. She is always watching over those who do good things for others.
