Topic1 World Autism Awareness 1 DayToday marks the World Autism Awareness Day.
The day is particularly memorable 2 as it marks the 7th anniversary of the occasion which was first designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 2008 to recognize the need to help improve the lives of those with autism and to raise awareness about autism and autism spectrum 3 disorder 4.
We have invited Sun Zhong Kai, development officer for Stars and Rain, China's first non-governmental educational organization dedicated 5 to serving children with autism.
So first of all, what is autism?
Topic2 Chinese City TiersA new list of Chinese city rankings is quite popular on the internet. According to the list, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Tianjin are considered first-tier cities. 30 cities including Hangzhou and Taiyuan are second-tier ones, and Lhasa is considered a 5th tier city.
Is this a reliable list?
Topic3 Seeing Eye Dogs Allowed in Public TransportShanghai issues a new regulation which takes effect yesterday, permitting blind residents to take their guide dogs to public places or on board public transport.
