　　Institutional construction is needed to guarantee public participation in environmental protection, says a commentary in Dazhong Daily．An excerpt follows．

　　The State Environment Protection Administration(SEPA)last week released a set of guidelines on public participation in environmental impact(影响)assessment, encouraging direct involvement from the general public in the country’s environmental affairs．

　　This is the first official document on public involvement in the environmental sector, which will make government decisions in the sector more transparent and democratic．Last year, a series of environment issues plunged SEPA into an administrative accountability(问责)storm．The issues include a construction project that could lead to an ecological disaster in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, water pollution in the Songhua Rive and disputes over the construction of a dam on the Nujing River．Then came the“environment impact assessment storm,”which showed the efforts made by the government in this aspect．

　　Although there are some articles on public involvement in the Environment Impact Assessment Law, they are very ambiguous and not practical．The temporary measures give specific arrangement procedures．It gives recognition and respect to the public rights to environment participation, and also shows the government’s open mind for better environment participation．But such a right of participation is still partial in the assessment stage．There is still a lack of arrangements in the policy-making and law-enforcement phases．

　　In a modern society, every citizen has a right to live in a good environment．Citizens should be able to participate based on their rights t know．Marking such temporary measures is a good way to realize citizens'right to participate．But more should be included, such as citizens'rights to participate in law-making, policy-making and law-enforcement．There should be an open mechanism to provide environment information, and a democratic system encouraging the public to participate in decision-making concerning the environment．

　　In ancient Egypt,the pharaoh(法老)trented the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace ,if he broubht good news ,However ,if the exharsted runner had the misrlrtune to buing the pharaoh unhappy news ,his head was cut off

　　Shades of that lpirit priad ovie today’s cknversntions,Once a friend and Ipack up some peanut butter ane sandwiches for an outing As we walked light-heartedly out the door ,pienie basket in hand ,a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and saie ,Oh boy ,bad dny for a picnic the weatherman says it’s going tl raim I wanted to strike him on the race with the peanut butter and sandwiches not for his stupid weather report for his wsile

　　Several months ago Iwas racing to fcatcb angty A’s I breathlessly put my handfrul of cash acrlss the Greyhound ckunths the sales ager said with a brond smile．Oh that bus lsft rive minrtes ago Dreams of head cutting

　　It’s not the news thst makes ,someone angry It’s the unsympathetic attitrde with which it’s delivered Everyone must give bad mews from time to time ,and winning professilnalas di it ‘swith the prope attitude A doctor advising a paticnt she needs an operation dose it in a caring way Aboss infonning an employee he didn’t get job takes on a sympathetic tone Big winners know ,when delivering ang ban news they should share th feeling of the receiver．

　　Unfortumately, many peple are not aware of this?you re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready ye?When you had your heart set on the toast beef ,has your waiter mimily told you that he just seuved the last piece?It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist fight on their unsympathetic faces．

　　Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning．Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically infored me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh ,that ‘s all right．I’ll catch the next one．” Big winners, when they bear bear new ,deliver bombs with the emxtion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have．
