|---|---|---|---|
| China | 0 | 3529 | 13126 |

The table illustrates the dramatic comparison of the total length of high-speed train track in China, France and Japan during 3 decades from 1990, measured in kilometers.
Firstly, let us take a look at the year 1990. In this year, it seemed that Chinese high-speed train track had not been put into use yet, since its length was only 0. However, Japan was the country that owed the longest train track with 1832, which was followed by that in France (720).
Turning to 2010, it is worth mentioning that China got a significant development in its figure, with 3529 being constructed. At the same time, this period also witnessed relatively gradual increases in both French and Japanese train distance by 1151 and 702 respectively.
According to some predictions, in 2020 those three nations will maintain experiencing ascent in their figures. Surprisingly, Chinese length will grow threefold as long as before in 2010, which also rank the first place among the three (13126). And the left two will share almost the same distance with about 3900 despite of relatively stable growth.
To sum up, the length of high-speed train track in China bore the most massive rises, while there is a quiet stable increase in that of Japan and France. (209)

We are confronted with a wide range of environmental challenges today. And there is a heated debate revolving around the issue of whether individuals could play significant roles in improving environmental conditions. In my personal view, only if individuals take some actions could environmental contamination be effectively alleviated.
Admittedly, it is reasonable for some to argue that this problem is too big for human beings to resolve. First of all, fighting with such natural disasters as flood, earthquake as well as tsunami may be beyond the ability of average persons. Despite of those, some humanity destruction is also unreachable for citizens. For instance, oil spill always lead to a large scale of suffocation for marine lives; besides, smog, which hover over and around metropolis cities in the past several winters has already cause respiratory diseases.
Nevertheless, others assert that unless we human beings take some actions, the pollution of our surroundings could be a chronic issue to cope with. And there are lots of actions we might probably adopt. First and foremost, it is possible for citizens to enhance awareness of being friendly to their living places. Since consciousness is one essential element which dominates people’s behaviors. Besides, the second step is to change the daily habits, one of them is that people could use public transport instead of private cars; what is more, the avoidance of disposable products and high-carbon products would also be a good choice. Followed by the above measures is the modification of public supervision on the well-being of our environment, which will not be perfected without encouraging every citizens to voice their opinions towards some issues.
In a nutshell, even though battling against natural disasters and large scale man-caused damages may seem an impossible task for individuals, efforts and attempts are still integral part of the aim to create a better living environment for themselves by adopting some small steps.(351)
