    Cars make our lives more convenient. But theycan also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel (化石燃料)cars mainly cause air pollution.

    To improve the environment, many countriesare developing electric vehicles (EVs,电动车).Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largestEV market.

    Last year, over 40 per cent of the 753,000EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the numbersold in the United States.

    "Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(汽油) is more expensive than charging (充电) an electric car," said Wu Hao, who bought an electric carthis year.

    However, there are still some problems. Itcan be hard to find charging piles (充电桩) andthe cars can't go far before being recharged.

    Some of these problems are being solved. In2014, China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EVcharging network, with more than 450,000 charging piles in total.

    Developing EVs is one of many efforts thatChina has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the governmentpromised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.

    "As China goes, so will the world'scar industry," the Wall Street Journal said.

Shanghai is a very large city. How do so many people go to work or school? Now, let's know 1 about its transport(交通).

In Shanghai you can travel around the city by underground, by bus, by taxi and by car. The underground 2 the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Travelling by underground is 3 way to get around the city. The 4 way to travel around the city is by bus. It's a slow way to travel. You can also travel around the city by taxi. It is 5 than taking a underground or a bus, but the taxi will take you to the very place you want to go to. 6 the taxi will be slow if the traffic is heavy. The last way to get around Shanghai is using 7 own car. However, it's not easy 8 you to drive, especially when you are driving in the rush hour( 高峰期). If there is 9 accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.

The best time 10 around the city is from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.. Traffic will be less crowded because most people are already at school or at work.

Babies sleep up to eighteen hours a day. Mrs. Thatcher and Napoleon both said they only needed to sleep three or four hours a night. Sleep—No one can live without it. But how much do we really need? 

Research by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours' sleep every night. Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours a night are more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours. Going without sleep also increases the chance of serious illness. Workaholics who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work. 

The scientists found that, on average(平均起来), adults sleep for seven hours a night, with 32% sleeping less than six hours. It also says that the idea that we need less sleep when we get older is completely untrue. "People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives," Dr. Thomas Roth, director of the Foundation says. "Good health needs good sleep."

"But not too much of it," says Professor Jim Home of Loughborough University. "Sleep is like food and drink," he believes, "You would always like to have a little bit more, but that doesn't mean you need it." Professor Home studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed; after sleeping ten hours, they didn't find that they could get up easily either. And people who sleep for more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!
