Qiu Baoxing, Vice-minister of Construction Of China, has said that our country is "facing a more serious water crisis(危机) than any other country in the world." And the Chinese government would raise the cities' waste water treatment rate(率)from 45.6% t0 60% in five years.

"Because water plays such an important role in our country's economy(经济)and people's life, we must pay much attention to it. We have to solve the problem before it is too late." warned Qiu. He said China should learn lessons from developed countries. They have paid heavy costs in solving the environment pollution, "We must take action before the city water ecosystem collapses(生态恶化)." Qiu said.

　　People suffered（遭受）a lot from sandstorms. When they came, car and bus drivers had to drive slowly：they could hardly see the road in front of them even during the day-time. In the year 2000, a very strong sandstorm happened in a certain city. It was one of the worst sandstorms that lasted nearly 2 hours. People couldn't see their hands before them. The streets were almost empty. The smell from the sandstorm was very bad. Some people disappeared in the sandstorm.

　　Now, China has built the Great Wall across the northern part of the country. It will stop the wind from blowing the earth away. It will stop the sand form moving towards the rich farmland in the south. It has already saved a lot of land. But more “Great Green Walls” are still needed. They hope in a few years' time the whole country will be covered by forests.
