Question

【題目】On Lunar New Year’s Eve on Feb 18, 2015，Beijing had a good day. PM2.5 levels were below 50. However, the nice day ended with firework celebrations at night.

In the first hour after the start of the celebration, PM2.5 levels rose to 500 in certain parts of the city, with the average across the city around 400.

According to the China National Environmental Monitoring Center, on Lunar New Year’s Day, air pollution reached “dangerous levels” in 201 Chinese cities, because of fireworks, with more than 40 of them seeing “serious pollution”. As a result, the debate on whether to ban (禁止) fireworks during the Spring Festival is also heating up.

Sina surveyed 3,000 Internet users, and results show that only 38 percent of the people support setting off fireworks, and 60 percent are against it.

“I support a ban on fireworks,” a netizen (網(wǎng)民) nicknamed ann019 said. “Lighting fireworks can only bring problems： air pollution, disturbing sleep, causing fire and exhausting sanitation workers (環(huán)衛(wèi)工人).”

Others thought it to be hard to ban traditions, and lighting fireworks during holiday seasons won’t cause lasting pollution.

Some, however, suggest a moderate (溫和的) way to solve the problem.

“As a tradition, fireworks absolutely add to the festival’s happiness. They shouldn’t be banned totally,” commented netizen Tracy on the China Daily online forum (論壇). “But the time should be reduced. For example, it can be allowed just during New Year’s Eve, the first day of the Lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival.”
