英语学习是一条需要付出真心的苦差事，但对于真正热爱的人来说就会甘之如饴，今天沈阳环球教育龙珠老师继续跟大家分享我眼中的“饴”。

　　今天分享的文章是2016年5月7日的文章，题目是NGOs and religion.

　　DENG XIAOPING once dismissed worries about unwanted foreign influence by saying that when you open a window，of course the flies come in，along with the fresh air(1). China's current leader， Xi Jinping，is less insouciant(a) as fly-swatter-in-chief. Witness，in the two past weeks，a newly published speech he gave to the Central Party School，a new law governing foreign non-governmental organisations (NGOs)， signs of an unwelcome policy shift towards religions deemed to be too "foreign"， and even， on a lighter note， a ban on landlords naming buildings in China after foreign places (see article).

　　Mr Xi has long been suspicious of Western ideas (except Marxism-Leninism)(2). But his speech to the party school in Beijing last December， published in a party magazine， Qiushi， on May 1st， was unusually insistent(b). He repeatedly warned educational institutions not to deviate(c) from the party line and not to "spread Western capitalist values". They did not sound like the words of a reformer.

　　And these were not just words. On April 28th the parliament passed a long-debated law concerning foreign NGOs(3). It imposes onerous（d） registration and reporting requirements on them. All foreign NGOs must report to the Public Security Bureau (ie， the police) and promise not to "endanger China's national unity…or ethnic unity"-however the authorities choose to define that.

　　It could have a big impact on civil society， given that much of the work on environmental， women's， minority and gay rights is done by foreign NGOs(4). In March the parliamentary spokeswoman， Fu Ying， a relative liberal， affirmed that China's 7，000 foreign NGOs bring the country valuable expertise. But how many will continue to do so once the law goes into effect next January remains to be seen(5).
