Some 30,000 local retail, catering and tourism firms are expected to participate in the 2009 Hangzhou Leisure and Shopping Festival held from December 5 to January 3 in the capital of east China’s Zhejiang Province.
【76】This massive marketing promotion will be staged in all districts and counties of Hangzhou. Hangzhou is a renowned tourism destination in China, famous for its picturesque West Lake, Longjing tea and silk.
【77】The festival is one in a range of city—sponsored events designed to stimulate demand and attract more tourists in the face of the global economic downturn.【78】Locals can benefit from special offers at the city’s major retail outlets offering goods ranging from home appliances and garments to daily goods at favorable prices.
Gourmets will be delighted that many of city’s time—honored restaurants such as Louwailou,Huazhongcheng, Kuiyuanguang and Taizilou will offer discounted prices.【79】Some restaurants will even offer free meals, hoping to benefit later from the goodwill generated by their food and service.
Silk and tea, noted Hangzhou specialties, are always top choices for tourists. On Silk Street, a venue to sell locally produced silk products- said to be among the best in China and even the world- about 600 silk producers and dealers will exhibit their products during the festival.
【80】Fashion shows highlighting silk in traditional Chinese and modern styles will be staged on the Wulin Road, the commercial centre of Hangzhou.

Anecdotal evidence of a looming Crisis in biodiversity is now being reinforced by science. In their comprehensive surveys of plants, butterflies and birds over the past 20 to 40 years in Britain, ecologists Jeremy Thomas and Carly Stevens found significant population declines in a third of all native species. Butterflies ate the furthest along-71 percent of Britain's 58 species are shrinking in number, and some, like the large blue and tortoiseshell, are already extinct. In Britain's grasslands, a key habitat, 20 percent of all animal, plant and insect species are on the path to extinction. There's hardly a corner of the country's ecology that isn't affected by this downward spiral.
The problem would be bad enough if it were merely local, but it's not: because Britain's temperate ecology is similar to that in so many other parts of the world, it's the best microcosm scientists have been able to study in detail. Scientists have sounded alarms about species' extinction in the past, but always specific to a particular animal or place--whales in the 1980s or the Amazonian rain forests in the 1990s. This time, though, the implications are much wider. The Amazon is a "biodiversity hot spot" with a unique ecology. But in Britain, "the main drivers of change are the same processes responsible for species' declines worldwide, 'says Thomas. The findings, published in the journal Science, provide the first clear evidence that the world is in the throes of a massive extinction. Thomas and Stevens argue that we are facing a loss of 65 to 95 percent of the world's species, on the scale of an ice age or the meteorite that may have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
If so, this would be only the sixth time such devastation had occurred in the past 600 million years. The other five were associated with one-off events like the ice ages, a volcanic eruption or a meteor. This time, ecosystems are dying a thousand deaths--from overfishing and the razing of the rain forests, but also from advances in agriculture. The British study, for instance, finds that one of the biggest problems is nitrogen pollution. Nitrogefi is released when fossil fuels burn in cars and power plants-but also when ecologically rich heath-lands are plowed and fertilizers are spread. Nitrogen-rich fertilizers fuel the growth of tall grasses, which in turn overshadow and kill off delicate flowers like harebells and eyebrights.
Even seemingly innocuous practices are responsible for vast ecological damage. When British farmers stopped feeding horses and cattle with hay and switched to silage, a kind of preserved short grass, they eliminated a favorite nesting spot of corncrakes, birds known for their raspy nightly mating calls; corncrake populations have fallen 76 percent in the past 20 years. The depressing list goes on and on.
Many of these practices are being repeated throughout the world, in one form. or another, which is why scientists believe that the British study has global implications. Wildlife is getting blander. "We don't know which species are essential to the web of life so we're taking a massive
