Just
when
everyone
thought
China’s
e
?commerce(
电子商
务
)ma
rket
was
being
occupied
by
Alibaba
and
，
a__dark__horse
appeared
from the shadows
and carved a place in the field of
e-
commerce.
On
July
26
，
Pinduoduo
，
an
online
discount
shopping
platform
，
was
listed
on
the
National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations(NASDAQ) at $$19
per American depositary share
(ADS)
and closed at
$$26.7 per
ADS
，
increasing by
more than 40 percent on its first
trading performance has made Pinduoduo into
the ranks of top Chinese Internet tech
firms like Alibaba
，
Tencent
，
Baidu
，
X
iaomi
，
and NetEase.
With
the
Pinduoduo
app
，
people
can
now
buy
goods
at
cheaper
prices
if

on
social
success
of
Pinduoduo’s first appearance on the
NASDAQ suggested investors’ confidence in its
social e-
commerce business
model.
Despite
this
，
a series of statements
that products sold on its platform are fake
(
假的
)or
substandard have thrown Pinduoduo into
the center of a media the face of the
fallout
，
Pinduoduo
held a press conference in Shanghai on July
31
，
making it clear
that they would make efforts to get rid
of fake goods.
“
In the
past
，
one of the reasons why
Pinduoduo was able to grow so quickly was that
the
requirements
，
assurances and
certifications needed to sell on the application
are
not as strict as they are on or
.
”
Michael
Zakkour
，
Vice President
of

noted.
“
This
has
presented
a
challenge in terms of intellectual
property rights(
知识产权
)
，”
he
said
，
adding that
Pinduoduo must control this issue as
soon as possible.

)British
artist
Amy
Sharrocks
collects
nearly
all
kinds
of
2013 she set up the Museum of
Water
，
a live piece of
artwork that travels all
over the world
and invited people to donate
water
—
from spit to melted
snow
—
in a
bottle
and discuss what it means to them.
The
program aims to understand why people treasure
water and help prepare them for
a drier
future and climate
，
cks told
an audience of climate
experts
，
activists
and museum curators(
馆长
)
．
“
For
example
，
we show them how to
have three-
minute
showers to
better deal with water
shortages
，”
she said.
Amy
is
not
alone
as
a
matter
of
world
leaders
increasingly
face
up
to
the
serious results of climate
change
，
curators are planning
a new wave of museums
，
which
are devoted to what many consider a vital issue of
the 2015 a former
lawyer
Miranda
Massie

museum

entirely
devoted to climate
change in New York
City.

Climate change is
affecting virtually
every aspect of our
lives

policies need the public to participate and
museums are a way to
open people’s mind
to what matters.

of
Flow
Associates
，
wanted

raise

dilemma of the Pacific island
nations

vulnerable(
易受伤害的
)
to rising sea with her team she set up
a “ghost boat” made of old fish nets at
the University of Cambridge’s Museum of
Archaeology and
Anthropology
，
and asked
visitors what they would take with them
if they were suddenly forced to leave their
homes.
While
museums
can
be
a
powerful
way
of
communicating
the
effects
of
climate
change
，
they
should
also
practice
what
they
spread
and
control
their
own
emissions(
排放物
)
．“
Roughly
half
of
cities’
emissions
come
from
energy
use
in
buildings
，
”
said Elliot
Goodger
，
a museums’
association representative of the West
Midlands in
Britain
，“
museums have a duty
to be energy efficient
，
for
example by
using laser lighting for
displays or improving their building
materials.
