Question

【题目】 We all want to live better and happier lives. We want our government to help us realize this goal. On March 5, during the National People’s Congress (全国人民代表大会), Premier Li Keqiang delivered this year’s Government Work Report.

The report focused on what the government is doing to improve people’s lives, covering areas like medical services and education. According to the report, China will develop something that it calls “Internet Plus Education” to provide fair and high-quality education to more students. For example, students in rural areas will be able to take online courses taught by teachers in urban areas. This way , education resources can be shared nationwide.

The report also mentioned basic medical care, another necessity in our daily lives. The government has promised to make greater efforts to reduce people’s health care burden.

One way to do this is to increase the medical cost reimbursement rate (报销比例) for serious diseases like cancer. The rate will rise from 50 percent to 60 percent, the report said. This means that if someone spends 100, 000 yuan on cancer treatment, he or she will only need to pay 40, 000 yuan, with the rest covered by the government.

To better protect people from getting sick in the first place, China will “create a beautiful and livable environment”, Li said during his speech. As part of this effort, the government plans to reduce the density of PM2. 5 in the air.

For instance , sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions（二氧化硫, 氮氧化物排放量）will fall by 3 percent. Factories will be asked to use clean energy like natural gas rather than coal, which is a major source of air pollution.
