7、ey could have had if they had learned in abroader-minded educational system.I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are tooacademic,and,as a result,many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail to recognize variouskinds of intelligence.The

10、really positive.Theyre just acting in a way they are expected.Often their grades go from bad toworse.And thats pretty sad.I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent,but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treatedearly on in their education.Keys

40、es to grow rapidly,turning the water green.This massive growth of algae leads to pollution.When the algae die,they are brokendown by the action of the bacteria,which quickly multiply,using up all the oxygen inthe water and therefore causing the death of fish.Second,industrial waste.Factories sometim

41、es discharge chemical waste into rivers.Examples of such pollutants include cyanide,lead,copper,and mercury.Thesesubstances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish and otheranimals are killed immediately.Sometimes the pollutants enter the food chain andaccumulate until they reach t

42、oxic levels,eventually killing fish and other animals.Third,oil pollution.If oil enters a slow-moving river;it forms a rainbow-colored filmover the entire surface,preventing oxygen from entering the water.Fourth,warm water.Industry often uses water for cooling processes,sometimesdischarging large qu

46、 be achieved by August.We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of our power willbe generated from nonfossil sources by 2020,Director Zhang said.At present,non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its

47、 total energyconsumption.Statistics show that China invested US$34,6 billion in clean energy lastyear;exceeding the United States which invested US$18,6 billion.Thus,China hasbecome the world leader in generating clean energy.Five years earlier,Chinasinvestment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billio

48、n.However,Chinas carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily.Theshift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society.For instance,morethan 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-firedpower plants in the past four years.Many studies indicate t
