If we kept these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump(垃圾场). Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then youd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burned in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus(腐殖质), which looks like black earth.

Some people even tried to prepare for a “shanzhai” Spring Festival gala last year. “Shanzhai” is popular because it provides the ordinary people a chance to take part in many activities. Meanwhile, it brings about a risk of breaking copyright laws.The second hottest word is an ancient Chinese character “囧”. It is pronounced “jiong”. It used to mean “light shining through a window”. Now young Chinese use it to express embarrassment, or a bad mood. Look at the character, doesnt it look like a disappointed face?The newly intvented Chinese Charater “槑” is the fourth hottest.
