GUANGZHOU, China — Three years ago, as part of its green-energy policy, the
Chinese government set an ambitious goal: by the end of 2011, the nation
would be able to produce at least 500,000 hybrid or all-electric cars and
buses a year.
With only about a week to go, it is clear China will fall far short of that

If you are at fault in an accident, your car insurance premium is likely to
increase. The exact increase, often called a “surcharge,” will depend on
your insurance company. Before you buy car insurance, ask your agent for a
“surcharge schedule” which will reveal how much you’ll be charged in the
event you cause an accident.
Some car insurance companies forgive first-time accidents but require that
you fit certain criteria in order to escape a rate increase. If your

瑞士诺华公司 CAR-T 疗法 Tisagenlecleucel（CTL-019）上市。FDA 将在 10 月 3 日

CAR-T 疗法的成功研制让癌症不再是不可治愈，是癌症治疗届的重大突破，意味着

目前医疗行业去除癌细胞的方式主要为手术切除和放疗化疗，但都存在弊端：手术

然后呢, 就是总结每条路里具体有什么选择. 我的原则是, 走大众化的路线, 尽量买popular 的选择, 大家都买的东西, 一定有它畅销的原则, 应该至少不是最糟糕的. 另外就是在价格适中可以接受的情况下, 挑选review最好的.
