PETER PANBMonday was China’s traditional “Tomb-Sweeping Day”, when people mourn(哀掉) theirdead. But it also became a day for national celebration, when rescuers saved 115 workers whowere trapped for more than a week in the flooded Wangjialing Coal Mine in Shanxi province.“It’s a miracle,” Liu Dezheng told reporters on Monday morning after the first nine miners(矿工) were taken out shortly after midnight. “We believe more miracles will happen.”At about noon, rescuers carried out the second group of 106 survivors (幸存者). The survivor clapped his hands and tried to reach for his rescuers in an expresion of joy. Both Shanxi GovernorWang Jun and State Administration of Work Safety Director Luo Lin called the rescue “a miracle”in the history of China’s coal mine rescues.The trapped miners survived underground with the encouragement of thinking of their families. They live through eight days and eight nights by getting sawdust(锯末)，tree bark(树皮)and turbid(混浊的) water for food.One survivor said that he had to hang from tunnel walls by his belt(腰带)to survive when the disaster came. After being in the water for three days, he climbed into two passing mine cans(矿车)with eight other men and floated to a dry place.A rescue team on an inflatable boat(橡皮艇)threw lifelines(救生索)to the trapped men after realizing that the boat could not move any further. Once the survivors found themselves in the boat, Wang said he was asked whether he would take them out. “I promised them that they would be lifted out as long as I could get out,” Wang said.After being rescued, one of the survivors told doctors he wanted to call his family. “I have two daughters and a son. I have to work in the mine to earn m oney for them,” said another45-year-old survivor who was taken to the Shanxi Aluminium Plant Hospital, which admitted 35 survivors from the mine.

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its course in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry areas of Portugal and Spain, golf is often responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need anything special except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to think about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products mad e from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open space. There is no speci al requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.41.
