/ \8 B/ E6 v) l& Z  C1 R  j" e3 w  Y( XSmith: Earth Day was started in 1970. It was set to help raise the general publics' environmentalawareness. For one thing, it provides a special day to remind people to take care of the Earth. Italso gives special interest and environmental groups an opportunity to motivate their members totake action in their communities.
2 x2 H1 \! r$ B2 M赵：听起来不错。可就在环保取得成绩的同时，人口膨胀，臭氧层空洞，全球气候变暖这些问题一点也没有改善。地球人口越多，资源消耗的越多，产生的垃圾也越多，到时连种粮食的地都没有了怎么办？对此我们决不可掉以轻心。
Smith: That is certainly true. By the year 2005, there will be 7 billion people on the planet. Ipersonally think that recycling is the answer. Paper, metal, rubber, oil, and many other materialsare going to have to be recycled on a much greater scale. Everyone will have to be involved.Perhaps even special legislation will be required. It is true that we are losing millions of hectaresevery year to housing and roads. But there is still a lot of undeveloped land that could be used forboth farming and housing. And science and technology is helping us to get more out of the landthat is used for farming.
赵： 那么今年“地球日”你打算都干点什么呢？

However, before long the fairy-tale couple grew apart, an experience that was particularly painfulunder the ubiquitous eyes of the world’s tabloid media.

/ {: t1 g3 Q+ D* ^Zhao: So what is the purpose of “Earth Day”, how did it get started and what exactly has itaccomplished?
史密斯：“地球日”是1970年开始的，目的是提高公众的环保意识。一则是这一活动可以提醒人们要细心照看好我们的地球，同时也使特别利益团体和环保组织有机会动员自己的成员在各自社区采取行动。
Zhao: That all sounds nice. But compared with progress made in environmental protection,nothing seems to have changed in population explosion, ozone depletion, global warming and thatsort of thing. Let’s face it, the more people on the earth, the more resources will be used up andthe more waste there will be. What are we going to do if we run out of land for food? We must nottake the issue lightly.
: Z: A. W9 i. v6 s( I+ x史密斯：你说的很对。到2005年，地球人口将达70亿。我个人认为解决上述问题的方法在废品回收利用。纸张，金属，橡胶，油料，以及许多物资都必须在更大程度上回收利用。每个人都要参与。也许还需要特别立法。我们的确正在因建房筑路失去千百万公顷的土地，但未开发的土地还不少，可以用来种植农作物或建房。科学技术能帮我们从农田取得更大的收获。

Part III
Minister Zhao Qizheng of the State Council Information Office said at the opening ceremony, Chinaand the U.S. are two great nations, and their relationship is not only highly important to the twocountries, but also to peace and development the world over.
During his first visit to China in 1972, President Nixon said that to the American people China was aremote and mysterious country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 30 years later, thissense of mystery has reduced remarkably, but the level of mutual understanding between the twocountries is still very far from where it should have been.
Understanding and friendship of the two peoples are the foundation stone of bilateral relationship.China Cultural Exchange 2000 is designed precisely to lay such a foundation stone.
