学习打卡第一天

Hello,小伙伴们好呀。今天开始进行学习打卡自律之旅，前一阵子太颓废了，可不能一直这么下去。

每天主要学习任务——英语。

1. Recite a passage: Smog in Beijing

Earlier this week, a thick-layer of smog rolled into China's capital city, turning skyscrapers into shadows and clean air into a yellow fog. Why does smog keep blanketing Beijing? Smog in China has many causes, including pollutions from industries and traffic, but it tends to happen more often in the winter, when plummeting temperature cause electricity demand to soar, and coal-fired power plants send more tiny particles of dust into the air.

Particles smaller than 10 micrometers are of concern to health experts, as particles that small can damage the lungs, aggravate asthma, and can even cause health attacks.

China has been taking steps to address the issue. China has restricted driving in an effort to curb the air pollution from cars. But it has a long way to go. China is still the world's biggest consumer of coal by far and plans to continue using the sooty source of power.

There is some cause for optimism. Like Beijing, Los Angeles also had heavy smog. But strict regulations implemented over the past few decades have helped reduce the amount of smog in Los Angles, brining back the blue skies.

There is a hope that they could return to China too. But residents shouldn't expect to breathe easy any time soon.
