The 2030 Agenda says that ending poverty in all its forms，including extreme poverty（极度贫困），is the greatest task．Because 1.4 billion people in developing countries live on less than ﹩1.25 a day．Another 842 million people，or one in eight people，do not have enough to eat，today．
The good news is that there are ways to end poverty．
Creating jobs，both in the United States and abroad，is a great way to deal with poverty．When people have jobs，they have money，and when people have money，they can more easily get themselves out of poverty．The U．N．says that "For the poor，labor is often the only thing they can use to improve their well﹣being．"
The education of girls and women impacts（影响）the rest of the societies．A woman's degree of education is linked to the age at which she marries and has children，to her health and diseases．Educating girls and women can end poverty in developing nations，as well as in the United States．
The United States hasn't raised the lowest pay since 2007．Because of this，right now，"A full﹣time worker with two children getting the lowest pay will still raise his or her family in poverty．"And this is a problem in almost every other country，especially in developing nations．Raising the lowest pay could possibly increase the health and well﹣being of millions．
The president of the World Bank，Jim Yong Kim，says that he believes "health care covering in all countries can help achieve a goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030．" He says that health care could end poverty．Because about 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty every year by having to spend money on health problems，and health problems push about another 150 million into very serious hardship．
These ways to end poverty show that while there is a difficult road ahead，there is a practical path forward．

The new ship is China's second aircraft carrier and it has n o name yet．China's first carrier is called Liaoning，which was bought from Ukraine and later rebuilt by China．The new carrier was designed in China and building began in 2013．It is about 315 meters long and 75 meters wide．That is a bit larger than three soccer fields．The ship must be completed at sea，which will take several years．
An aircraft carrier is like an airport on the sea．It can carry planes and troops to war．Planes fly from and land back on it，and soldiers work and live on it．Thanks to carriers，planes can fight along with warships．They allow planes to take off and land from anywhere in the ocean around the world．
But an aircraft carrier is very hard and expensive to build．It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials．For example，a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60，000 tons of steel!It also uses complex（综合的）technologies，including radar，electrics，mechanics and weapons．Finally，it takes years to build．
Today，not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one．When the new carrier is finished，China will become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft carrier by itself，after the US，Russia，UK，France，Italy and Spain．

Twelve years went by． Neither side wanted to give up the island， but they knew they had to do something． They asked the leader of Germany to help decide． After nearly a year of discussion，a decision was made． America would get the island．

Playing Mind Games
Marketers want you to think that buying their product will change you in some way．They want you to thing "buying this brand（品牌） is going to make you cool，happy，or popular，"says Professor Ahern．Marketers try to control your view of the brand by using a story，imagery，music，or people．Then，whenever you're about to buy something，they hope that image will pop into your mind，making you choose their product over anther．

If you want to travel from Xi'an to Chengdu by train， it will take about 16 hours． But starting this month， the new Xi'an﹣Chengdu high﹣speed railway will shorten this travel time to three hours．
The 643﹣kilometer line is China's first high﹣speed railway to run through the Qinling Mountains， which form a natural boundary（分界线） between China's north and south． With a speed of 250 km per hour， it's also the first mountain﹣heavy train line to provide a 4G network．
Along the way， the train passes through two areas for rare（稀有） wild animals﹣one for pandas and the other for crested ibises（朱鹮）．
To reduce the railway's influence on the animals， workers and experts have designed and built the railway to be environmentally friendly， China Daily reported．
In September， there were 345 wild pandas living in the Qinling Mountains． China now has 1，864 wild pandas in total， according to the Xinhua News Agency．
To avoid disturbing the pandas， the railway was designed to run through tunnels（隧道）within the area． Protective shields（防护屏） are placed near the entrance of each tunnel to stop animals from going in．
To avoid hurting the thousands of crested ibises that fly near one part of the railway， protective nets have been set up along the tracks to make sure the birds will not fly into a train．
The nets are about 32 km long and 4 meters high． Experts tested different shapes and materials for building the nets before making their final choice． （A report in December， 2017）

Playing for Friendship
Ping pong，or table tennis，might seem like an ordinary game to play with friends or family，but it holds a special place in China﹣US relations，as it has helped both countries get along for the last 50 years.This has been called "ping pong diplomacy （乒乓外交）".
Judy Hoarfrost was just 15 years old when she was sent from the US to China as part of a nine﹣ member table tennis team.The year was 1971.and for the past 20 years，relations between China and the US had been unfriendly.
But as the team toured around China，things started warming up.Hoarfrost even got to meet then﹣Premier Zhou Enlai. "The most unforgettable moment was Zhou shaking hands with me and looking into my eyes，" Hoarfrost told China Daily. "You have opened a new page in China﹣US relationships，" Zhou told the team.
In the years that followed the historic visit，ties between the two countries started to blossom.US president Richard Nixon would make a landmark （里程碑） visit to China in 1972，which also saw Chinese table tennis players make their own visit to the US，according to China Daily.Diplomatic relations between the US and China were fully established （建立） in 1979.
Players from both countries believed strongly in the idea of "friendship first.competition second".To this day，many of them remain friends.Hoarfrost thinks we should remember ping pong diplomacy in order "to understand the importance of people﹣to﹣ people exchanges in establishing bonds，human bonds between peoples.

Without proper planning，tourism（旅游业） can cause problem．For example，too many tourists can make public places crowded，which are also enjoyed by the local people．If tourists cause too much traffic，the local people will feel unhappy．They begin to dislike tourists and treat them impolitely．But they forget how much tourism can help the local economy（经济）．It is important to think about how tourism affects the local people．The local customs and beauty should be kept to attract the tourists by the local government．The local government should also care about the health and happiness of local people when developing tourism．
Too much tourism can be a problem．If tourism grows too quickly，people can leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry because they can make more money there．As a result，other parts of the local economy can become worse．
On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can lost jobs，and businesses can also lost money．It coats much money to build large hotels，airports，firstclass roads，and other support facilities（设施） needed by tourist attractions．For example，each room of the firstclass tourism hotel usually coats about 50thousand dollars．If the rooms of the hotel aren't used most of the time，the owner of the hotel will lose money．
Building a hotel is just a beginning．There must be many support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity and so on．All of these support facilities cost money．If these facilities are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost．
