Topic1 China revises anti-air pollution law Illegal outdoor barbecues might get you fines of up to 2,000 yuan.

That's according to a revised draft of China's Law on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution China has recently released for public opinion.

The draft would require governments above the county level to establish pollution monitoring systems and levy heavier fines for illegal activities that pollute the environment.

Is it time for the country to make a stricter anti-air pollution law?

Topic2 Real-name reporting Recently, Hu Jianbing, an engineer of CCCC Second Highway Consultants Co. Ltd, reported in his real name that his company bribed the transportation authority in Nanjing. He was admired for the courage; however, his colleagues regarded him as a traitor.

Do you think whistle blowers should report in their real name?

Topic3 Aggressive Advertising"The Voice of China" fetches a record again in its ad auction lately. A cosmetic company wins the bid by spending more than 10 million yuan on a 1-minute ad slot during the final competition of the show.

Topic4 Who can pick up children from the school?

向陽院 is an extracurricular study group, organized by neighbors and community's force, which was popular in the late 1970s. It has regained interests from thousands of parents who cannot pick up children from schools at 3:30pm. The parents are at work, and if there is no grandparent to be relied on, who should pick up the children from school, and accompany them at home?

Topic5 Shanghai high school cancels astrology course We are in the month of Virgo and people of this star sign are unfortunately ridiculed again.

Chinese people, like their counterparts elsewhere, like to talk about horoscopes and zodiac signs.

But they didn't realize astrology had actually become a course at a Shanghai high school until they heard the news about the school canceling it for the new school year.

What optional courses should schools provide?
