“中国制造”模式遭遇发展瓶颈，这种模式必须要改进和提高。
一些外国人认为，“中国制造”大约就是质量低下的代名词。
不可否认，少数产品的确存在质量问题，让大多数价廉质优的产品代其受罪。
质量是产品的生命线。
随着外国市场的夸大，中国企业也意识到质量的重要性。
因此一场旨在提高质量，提供优良服务的运动正在兴起。
在传统的制造业中，中国企业通过技术创新和质量管理，为国际市场提供高质量的产品。
在新兴的信息产业，中国企业以高科技为师，增强和外国企业的交流与合作，提高产品质量。
近几年来，中国政府通过立法和社会监督保证产品质量，创造全社会重视产品问题的环境。

1996年，一位摄影师在新疆喀纳斯自然保护区无意间拍到一只白熊。
自此以后的十年里，白熊藏身于深山之中，再无音讯。
直到2003年，人们才再次在该自然区又发现了白熊的踪迹。
在熊的家族里，只有北极熊是白色的。
但是，这个庞然大物是如何离开极地寒带，来到这个寒温带的地方呢？
难道它是通过通往北极的水路来到此地？
这一猜测遭到动物学家的质疑。
首先，北极熊不能在温带的树林中生活。
其次，。

2006年，一个科学考察队在白熊出没的地区发现了熊冬眠的冬窝儿，还发现了一小团白色的动物毛发。
DNA样本鉴定为棕熊的毛发。
但是，也有可能，至少那团毛发不属于照片中的白熊。

蓝藻是一种简单的水生植物，它可以在河湖、湿地、树干和温泉自然蔓延生长。
当蓝藻细胞达到一定程度时，蓝藻的“密集孽生”会使水体变色、引起泡沫、散发臭气、影响贝类和鱼类的生存，还会使水质大幅度下降。
2007年夏天，富营养物和其他污染导致蓝藻在太湖、巢湖、滇池发生了蓝藻“密集孽生”现象，影响了城市供水及水生产品生长。
“密集孽生”最严重的是太湖东部。
太湖是我国第三大淡水湖。
这次“密集孽生”导致周边100多万居民供水问题长达10天之久。
为了防止污染，当地环保部门关闭了770家化工厂。
2008年夏天，长期的温暖、干燥气候导致蓝藻在部分地区发生。
9月，一艘可以快速、有效地清除蓝藻的船在江苏省投入使用。
