The General Administration of Press and Publication of China (GAPP) has recently issued a document, which demands further standardization of language usage. The document bans newspapers, publishers and website-owners from frequently using foreign abbreviations and acronyms, as well as the mix of English and Chinese. It forbids excessive use of slang and buzzwords, and non-standard spellings and grammatical order of foreign terms.
Topic: Preserving the Purity of the Chinese Language Questions for Reference:

Do you agree with this view? Why or why not?

I'm very happy to talk to you about how the City of Toronto endeavors to turn itself into a green city in the process of economic integration with its surrounding cities. Toronto is a mature municipality and has limited greenfield development potential.
The Greater Toronto Area has one of the most diversified economies. The largest economic sectors include aerospace, biomedical industry, food processing industry and business services. Due to the urbanization, they have spanned across municipal boundaries. Therefore, measures are taken to allow high value added business operations to locate within the City.
Traditional heavy manufacturing operations are relocated in the surrounding areas, where the realty taxes are lower and there is a plenty of available land for greenfield development. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(尽管大家都认为我们如今生活在同一个地球村，但是，普通美国人对中国的了解部分是来自于参加建设我们国家的美籍华人。
