BEIJING, May 11 (Xinhuanet) -- New retirees suddenly confronted with plenty of time on their hands might be happy to learn that reading keeps one mentally alert and abreast of current aff airs, says Ursula Lenz of Germany's working group of senior citizens' organizations, BAGSO.Growing old can present difficulties such as failing eyesight or problems concentrating, but experts encourage the elderly not to give up on reading and to adapt to their situation.From the perspective of health professionals, there are many advantages to reading books or newspapers for senior citizens.Reading helps the elderly keep a sharp mind. The ability to transform words into mental images is good for cognitive performance. Reading also improves vocabulary, language use and the ability to concentrate, according to Simone Helck from the Kuratorium Deutsche Altershilfe, an organization in Germany that helps promote and develop strategies for taking care of the elderly.So, what exactly happens in the brain when we read?"The brain builds new synapses, junctions between the neurons, when it's stimulated such as during reading," says Manfred Gogol, a physician and president of Germany's Society for Gerontology and Geriatrics.Gogol recommends reading books that deal with subjects that are of special interest to the reader. If a long novel seems like too much work, then try a novella or collection of short stories.But a prerequisite for reading is that any sight defect is corrected by an optician.In response to the needs of elderly people, publishers print books with large typefaces and bigger line spacing. Lenz says it is worthwhile asking for large print books in libraries and bookshops.But no matter what the reading matter is, another important aspect is being able to exchange opinions about a book with other people. Whether it's a society magazine, highbrow literature or a daily newspaper, there is always something to talk about.

XI'AN, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Nearly 100 children were sickened by food poisoning Monday noon at a kindergarten in northwest China's Shaanxi Province.The accident occurred at Zhaocun Beibeile Kindergarten at Weiyang District of the provincial capital Xi'an City, where the children suffered from nausea and diarrhea after lunch, said a spokesman from the Weiyang District Government.The sickened children were rushed to five local hospitals for treatment, and their conditions were reported as not life threatening, the spokesman said.An initial inspection showed that their sickness was caused by nitrite intoxication, and the exact cause is under investigation.

BAODING, Hebei, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao Thursday called for efforts to promote welfare for senior citizens and vowed to improve the country's health care system to make medical services more affordable.Hu made the call during a three-day inspection tour in Baoding City of northern province of Hebei starting on Tuesday, during which he visited orphans, talked to senior citizens and extended festival greetings to local residents.At a nursing center in Shunping County of Baoding City, Hu offered New Year greetings to senior citizens, orphans and staff of the center.Hu wished the senior citizens good health and a long life, encouraged orphans to study hard, and thanked the staff for the care given to the aged.The Communist Party of China (CPC) and the government will make strenuous efforts to improve the welfare of seniors and make sure their difficulties are solved and they have access to better services, Hu said.When visiting Zhao Helou, a Baoding retiree who has been hospitalized several times and living in difficult circumstances, Hu promised assistance from the Party and the government to help Zhao tide over her problems.The health care and medical insurance system would be improved in the future to tackle people's difficulties in medical care, Hu promised.During his visit to Baoding, Hu also inspected drought conditions at wheat fields, joined villagers during New Year celebrations and extended Spring Festival greetings to passengers, station workers and volunteers.Hu, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, was briefed on the work of Hebei's provincial committee of the CPC and the provincial government during his tour.

BEIJING, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Graft remains one of the Chinese people's top concerns, as indicated by online polls from two mainstream media in China prior to the country's annual parliamentary and political advisory sessions.As of 9 p.m. on Thursday, over 54,000 Internet users voiced their concerns over "the fight against corruption and efforts to build a clean government" in an online survey launched by the Xinhua News Agency.Corruption came in at fourth place behind "curbing housing prices," "income distribution" and "control of commodity prices."The poll was launched by Xinhua and was meant to solicit public opinion ahead of the annual sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).In a survey posted on People.com.cn, a website subsidiary of the People's Daily newspaper, "anti-graft" was among the most selected topics following "social security" and "judicial justice."Internet users pinned their hopes on the forthcoming parliamentary and political advisory sessions, which are scheduled to open in early March.They hope that their voices would be heard by the country's lawmakers and political advisors, who would represent them in the two sessions and would take all possible measures to tackle a number of social issues including the fight against corruption."I hope that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) combats graft comprehensively and severely to ensure a Party with a clean work style, a society with justice and assures the Chinese people that they would not be wronged," said an Internet user from Jiangxi province in a forum entitled "voicing my wishes to Premier Wen Jiabao at the 2011 two sessions " on xinhuanet.com.Internet users believe that the spread of corruption in some places had hindered China's economic development, undermined social stability and harmed the relationship between the people and officials.The fight against corruption, therefore, is a significant factor in determining whether or not China can reach its goals outlined in its Twelfth Five-year Program (2011-2015) on National Economic and Social Development, an Internet user wrote."Corruption has affected Chinese people's life through its spread into many social sectors. As the two sessions represent an open platform to reflect the people's will, citizens hope to push forward the cause of anti-corruption through legislation, thus addressing their common concerns." said Ren Jianmin, director of the Anti-corruption and Governance Research Center of Tsinghua University.The CPC has never relaxed its efforts to fight against corruption, experts say.Last year saw four ministerial-level Chinese officials placed under a graft probe or removed from their posts. Among these officials were Zhang Jiameng, former vice chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee in southeast China, and Zhang Jingli, former deputy director of the State Food and Drug Administration.Another 11 ministerial-level officials were sentenced to life imprisonment or other severe punishments in 2010.On February 12 this year, Liu Zhijun, the Chinese Minister of Railways, was removed from his post as the Party chief of the ministry over an alleged "severe violation of discipline," becoming the latest senior official to be investigated in the country's battle against corruption.Experts believe that the downfall of high-ranking officials over corruption charges have clearly shown the determination of the CPC to enforce the Party's discipline, combat corruption and promote a clean work style.On January 10 this year, Chinese president Hu Jintao called for efforts to tackle prominent problems that have seriously harmed people's interests and sparked most public complaints during a plenary session of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the Party's anti-graft body.He also pledged to combat graft and punish corrupt officials severely to win the trust of the people.Further, the CPC's drive to erase corruption yielded significant results last year.A total of 5,098 leaders at the county level or above have been punished and 804 officials were referred for prosecution last year, said Gan Yisheng, the deputy secretary of the CCDI, on January 6 this year.Despite the achievements accomplished by the CPC in its fight against corruption, Ren Jianmin believes that the anti-graft situation in China is grave and the task remain arduous.Problems concerning land acquisition and compensation, housing, food and drug safety, environmental protection, work place safety and equal access to education have been reported by the public.To handle these issues, CCDI secretary He Guoqiang urged officials on January 12 to "put people first" and "exercise the state's power for the people" when addressing problems that the public complains about.He, also a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, said that efforts should be enhanced to fight graft in fields that are most vulnerable to corruption and unhealthy practices."The two sessions have a special role to play in China's fight against corruption," said Li Chengyan, a professor at the School of Government in Peking University."Every year, the Party and the government will take effective measures after the two sessions, as a response to social concerns. The people and the media's focus on anti-graft work will push the government to solve relevant problems," he said.According to experts, however, what's more important is to put in place a sound system concerning anti-corruption, promote reform and ensure the implementation of existing measures.

JINAN, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday and Thursday visited drought-hit villages and ordered all-out efforts to combat the dry spell while celebrating the Chinese New Year with local people.When visiting Jiaxiang County and Qufu City in east China's Shandong Province, Wen inspected cornfields and reservoirs to assess the drought's impact.The drought, which began in October, has hit the southwest parts of Shandong hardest."It's hard to know when it will rain. We must prepare for the worst and do our best to combat the drought to ensure a good harvest," Wen said while visiting a reservoir in Qufu.Wen made the remarks Wednesday afternoon after learning the reservoir was holding a volume of water 8 million cubic meters less than normal.He told officials accompanying him any drought-caused reduction in grain output may undermine the government's top priority for 2011: the stabilization of prices.Officials at all levels must work to combat the drought, Wen added.China's central authorities last week announced an ambitious water conservancy project development plan, to raise China's ability to control flooding and drought.Under the plan, the average annual government spending on such projects will double the 2010 level."The drought affects agricultural output, which is related to the nation's food security and the income of rural people. I worry about it," Wen told a local farmer Wednesday morning.In the evening, Wen joined Liu Xianglun, 77, and his family at their house to make dumplings to eat to welcome the Chinese New Year.Before visiting Shandong, Wen visited farmers and workers in Dabieshan Mountain area, an old revolutionary base in east China's Anhui Province.The Spring Festival, China's Lunar New Year, falls on Thursday.
