Smog subsidy for employees who work outdoors Severe air pollution and smog continues to haunt many Chinese cities, especially in northern and central China. As people grow more aware of health issues, there have been increasing calls for a special 'smog subsidy'(雾霾津贴) for employees who have to work on smoggy days. Xie Chaohua, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), called for the introduction of a 'smog subsidy' for those who work outdoors. Xie said at the CPPCC session that the key to his proposal is 'protecting lungs from the impact of smog.' The government should protect the public's right to breathe clean air, and a 'smog subsidy' should be introduced for outdoor workers such as construction workers, sanitation workers, traffic police officers and couriers. With the subsidy, government can take the initiative to purchase health products such as lung-moistening medicines for those who bear the brunt of smoggy weather. In addition to the subsidy, Xie also called for the introduction of a 'smog holiday' system for people who work outdoors. The Trade Union in Zhengzhou City, capital of Central China's Henan Province, has surveyed nearly 400 subscribers to its official WeChat account recently. The survey found that 95% of respondents support a 'smog subsidy' for those who work outdoors. The survey also found that 88% of nearly 400 respondents said priority should be given to outdoor workers on smoggy days. However, 9% of respondents said air pollution affects everyone so it would be unfair to only address the concerns of people who work outdoors.

单选题The word science is heard so often, in modem times that almost everybody has some notion of its meaning. On the other hand, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confused, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives. Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, suppose science is defined as classified knowledge(facts). Even in the true sciences distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this mason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe until they are proved or discredited. The exact statue of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion. The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and the subsequent understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature or that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy. Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes—— for instance, improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consumer products. In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science. Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. Chemists responsible for many of the discoveries could hardly have anticipated that their findings would one-day result in application of such a practical nature as those directly related to life and death. The discoveries of one bit of information opens the door to the discovery of another. Some discoveries seem so simple that one is amazed they were not made years ago, however, one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to precede the discovery of the cell. The host of scientists dedicating their lives to pure science are not apologetic about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.
