Clothes Donation（ 捐赠 ） Box

Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood？ If not， you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend（ 趋势 ） in Urumqi．

"From time to time， my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear． You know， we teenagers are growing fast． I think it's a good way to help others． " Lin Tao， a junior student says．

"I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping． Then I'll put them into the donation box． " Miss Li， a pretty young lady says．

"That seems like a good idea． Some clothes in the box are quite new． People can either wear them or use themto make things such as handbags and pencil cases．" Mrs． Wang， an old woman says， "Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes．"

However， there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation． Recently， a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey． Here are the results：

◆Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them．

"What's worse，" one of the staff in a community added， "We qutie often see people throw rubbish

into the box when they pass by． We've tried to stop them several times but failed． It has been the most serious problem since we set the box．"

Drugs come in different forms．However，can you imagine that drugs come in chicken eggs？A team of scientists from England prove that it can come true．They have developed special chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside．These special drugs can help treat some kinds of diseases．Until now，they have made two kinds of drugs．One drug can treat skin cancer and the other can treat a nerve disease （神经性疾病）．

Certain drugs are produced by the special chickens inside their egg whites．These drugs are made of proteins（蛋白质） which can be found in animals'skin，hair，milk and meat．The scientists also use DNA technology to make sure that the drugs are only inside the egg whites．In this way，the chickens can stay healthy．

Besides egg whites，drugs made of proteins come in milk of cows and sheep．Compared with cows and sheep，the special chickens have ascendancyover them．First，they are cheaper to raise．Second，they need less room and grow faster．

These special chicken can pass on their drug﹣producing ability to their children．So far，five generations （代） of the special chickens have appeared．But scientists may need more time to make the drugs perfect．It's said that scientists will realize their dream in five to ten years．

D．	To make people know about the problems of the Internet．

For many years， sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China． This year， however， California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs（关税）on Chinese products．

Christopher， a garlic grower in California， is manager of his company and he said， "In a perfect world， we would love to see the tariffs on China．"

Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9，2019，and the reason is that U．S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of ＄200 billion． Since then， Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried．

Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U．S． Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy（政策）． However， officials from McCormick and Company Inc． didn't agree with the policy． McCormick's CEO， Lawrence told Reuters（路透社）that without Chinese garlic America can't go． Actually ，the trade war（贸易战）between China and America is a sign of American hegemony（霸权），and itwill destroy American economy and U．S government will lose its trust from other countries in the world．
