Living in cities is wonderful, but the cost in some of the big U.S. cities,

such

as

New

York and Los Angeles, is a big problem for living there. Fortunately,

this country has many good cities where the cost of living is more affordable.

Pittsburgh

great

city

busy

noisy

activities

without

feeling

housing and

other fees. Even when you live there, the view of the city from Mount Washington

In

The

New York City

gym

competing

against

“

It was mostly the movement that really attracted me because it was almost

like dancing. It felt like I was dancing on the roc

k,”

she said.

Watching Shiraishi climb is like watching a dance of mental and physical

courage. At

5-foot-1 and 100

pounds,

she could

be

considered at

a physical disadvantage

compared to taller climbers who

can reach

more readily. But she

makes

up for it with smooth movements that only a climber of small size could make.

“

The most important part of climbing is not really thinking at all. Once

you

thinking,

you

doubt

yourself,

and

that

s

the

worst

Ifyou

live

in

Shanghai,

you

might

have

to

take

a

“

le

sson”

in

sorting

garbage,

as

the

city

recently

introduced

new

garbage-sorting

regulations.

It

’

s

now

required

that

people

should

sort

garbage

into

four

categories,

namely

recyclable,

harmful,

dry

and

wet

waste.

However,

if

people

fail

to

sort

their

garbage

properly,

they

can

be

fined

up

to

200

yuan.

More

cities

are

introducing

similar

regulations,

following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2021, garbage- sorting systems

will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including

Beijing

and Shenzhen,

reported People

’

s Daily.

According

to

a

study

by

the

Policy

Research

Center

for

Environment

and

Economy,

under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public

believe

that

garbage sorting is important

for the protection

of the environment.

However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of

participants said they think they are adequately sorting their trash, the study

noted.

According to Xinhua News Agency, it

’

s partly because many people lack the

willingness

to

sort

their

own

waste.

In

the

past,

some

previous

garbage

regulations

didn

’

t

give

clear

fines

for

people

who

failed

to

sort

garbage.

“

It

’

s a must to have a legal

guarantee

to

promote

garbage

sorting.

”

Liu

Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily. Liu Xinyu, a

researcher of

the

Shanghai

Academy of

Social

Sciences,

told China Daily that the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to

change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.

Aside

from

China,

many

other

foreign

countries

have

also

introduced

garbage-sorting

regulations.

In Japan, waste

sorting

has become

a basic survival

skill,

reported

Xinhua.

There

is

a

fixed

time

for

disposal

of

each

kind

of

garbage

and littering

can

result in high

fines and

even

jail time.

In Germany

too,

people

are

asked

to

sort

waste

into

specific

categories,

reported

HuffPost.

For

example,

in Berlin,

people have yellow bins for plastic

and

metals

and

blue

bins

for

paper

and cardboard.

from

Paragraph 1?
