Nowadays, "toilet revolution" is a thing in China.China is investing seven billion yuan in the project.The money is spent building or upgrading (改进) toilets in 30,000 villages.
Experts have agreed that a "toilet revolution" is very important.Better toilets mean healthier lives and better living standards.Better toilets can also help encourage tourism and improve the economy.
"Toilet revolution" was started in 2015.Chinese president Xi Jinping then called for improvement to toilets across China.The government has invested more than 1.6 billion yuan in the project since then.Nearly 70,000 toilets have been built or upgraded.By the end of 2017, 45 percent of rural residents (居民) had been using standard toilets.In 2013, that number was only 36 percent.
In cities popular with tourists, more expensive toilets have been built.These toilets have ATMs, WiFi and recharging (充电) stations for mobile phones.Some toilets, meanwhile, have been expanded (扩大). Now, they have special cubicles (隔间) for the disabled and adults with young children.
China, in fact, is not alone in focusing on toilets.According to Bill Gates' foundation, forty percent of the world's population doesn't have flush toilets.UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) says at least 1.2 million young children die of diarrhea each year.Contact with human waste is the main cause.Gates says toilets of the future will be able to save 800 lives every day.
Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Paper was first created about 2, 000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}No, I don't think the poster about Yao Ming on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!
