Nagasaki University（N.U.）in Japan will no longer accept teachers who smoke. It wants to create a healthier environment for workers and students. The university’s president S. Kono said, “Our job is to look after our staff（职员）. We think we have to discourage them from smoking.” He added, “There will be no smoking anywhere in the university from August 2022. What’s more, staff and students can’t take cigarettes into any areas of the university from next year.”

N.U.’s no-smoking policy is part of a trend in Japan to end smoking in public. There are now bans（禁令）in many public places, including restaurants and bars. There are many areas in Tokyo and Kyoto where people cannot smoke on the streets.

The number of people who smoke in Japan is falling. In 1966, 49% of adults smoked, including 84% of men. Last year, 18% of adults smoked, including 28% of men. Many companies have also started not using smokers. One company in Tokyo is trying to get its staff to give up smoking. It is providing extra（额外的）days off for staff members who do not smoke. Several members soon gave up the habit.

Recently, “cloud tourism” has attracted millions of people in China. “Cloud tourism” refers to a new form of travel that depends on high technologies such as 5G and virtual reality（虚拟现实）.

During the May Day Holiday, 250 million people took an online tour by livestream（直播）on TikTok（the short video app）. Taishan, a popular channel, livestreamed the sunrise at the top of Mount Tai on May 1st and attracted 330,000 views.

China Daily made a survey of 2,000 people on cloud tourism. According to the survey results, 74.8% of them said they were willing to take an online tour and 59.79% said they had a good online traveling experience.

“I hate large crowds and long queues（队列）, which make me annoyed when visiting museums in person,” said Wang Bo, a museum lover in Beijing. “What’s more, ‘cloud tourism’ helps cut traveling cost and offers more tourist attractions.”

“Cloud tourism” has made huge contributions to the local development and a rise in sales of cultural products after livestreaming shows, according to Xinhua News Agency.

The earth is our home. Some things we have done are good for the earth while some are bad.     51     We can see many kinds of pollution around us, especially water pollution.

Water pollution is becoming serious in my hometown gradually. One year ago, it was a village with clean rivers and beautiful mountains.     52     As a result, it makes the water dirty and smell terrible. Most of fish in the water have gone and we can’t swim in the river.     53     Water is very important to human beings, so what should we do to protect and save it?

    54     The government should pass laws against water pollution. Second, we should save water in our daily life. For example, turn off the taps in time. Third, we should discover ways to reuse water.     55     Last, let’s try to spread the message about protecting and saving water. Make more people around us know the problem of water shortage and how to help to solve it.

We must save every drop of water. Don’t let our tears be the last drop of water on the earth.
