Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time,we wouldn’t have words to describe telephones,washing machines,computers or some other new things.
Language changes for several reasons. First,it changes because the needs of its speakers change. New technologies,new products,and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions,because they have different ages,jobs,education levels (水平) and so on.
How does language develop then? On the one hand,many of the language changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age,their language grows in grammar,words and expressions that are different from the older people's. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand,we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages;we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names.
Languages that don't change over time are consideped dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it is alive and well.

A recent study found peopled lives are made shorter in North China. It showed the life expectancy (平均壽命) had been cut by 5. 5 years there. Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame (承擔責任) .It's really the truth. Our government has already done something. However,it doesn’t seem to work so well.
"Air pollution in China is doing harm to people's health. The harm is much more serious than we can imagine”1 said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University,one of the researchers of this study.
Dirty air brings serious problems in North China. In January this year,air pollution was worse than that in other places. That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas (廢氣) from coal heating.
Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution. They should think of more proper ways to deal with the problem. People should be encouraged to take buses,ride bicycles or walk,instead of driving cars. The factories that pollute heavily should be closed.
"We need to improve our environment,although it might be expensive. Protecting our environment means protecting ourselves," Li Hongbin,another researcher of the study said.
