It suggests that it could be asdamaging to our health as exposure to the radiation from the 1986 Ukraine nuclear power disaster.The report was pub

27、lished by the UK Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. But what cancity people do to reduce exposure to air pollution.? Quite a lot, it turns out.Avoid walking in busy streets. Choose side streets and parks instead. Pollution levels can falla considerable amount just by moving a few meters aw

28、ay from the main pollutionsource-exhaust fumes 煙 氣).Also dont walk beh ind smokers. Walk on the wi ndward side of thestreet where exposure to pollutants can be 50 percent less than on the downwind side.Sitting on the drivers side of a bus can increase your exposure by 10 percent, compared withsittin

29、g on the side nearest the pavement. Sitting upstairs on a double-decker can reduce exposure.It is difficult to say whether traveling on an underground train is better or worse than taking the bus.Air pollution on underground trains tends to be, less toxic than that at street level, becauseundergroun

30、d pollution is mostly made up of tiny iron particles thrown up by wheels hitting the rails.But diesel and petrol fumes have a mixture of pollutants.When you are crossing a road, stand well back from the curb while you wait for the light tochange. Every meter really does count when you are close to t

31、raffic. As the traffic begins to move,fumes can be reduced in just a few seconds. So holding your breath for just a moment can make adifference, even though it might sound silly.There are large sudden pollution increases during rush hours. Pollution levels fall duringnighttime. The time of year also

32、 makes a big difference. Pollution levels tend to be at their lowestduring spring and autumn when winds are freshest.

39、bal climate specialist RichardAlley told an audience at the University of Vermont. Alley said his research in Greenlandsuggested that subtle changes in atmospheric patterns leave parts of the globe susceptible toabrupt and dramatic climate shifts that can last decades or centuries.Almost all scienti

40、sts agree that increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere createdas humans burn fossil fuel is warming the planet. How to respond to the warming is a matter ofintense political, scientific and economic debate worldwide.Alley said he was upbeat about global warming because enough clever pe

41、ople existed in theworld to find other reliable energy sources besides fossil fuels. He said people can get rich findingmarketable alternatives to fossil fuel. Wouldnt it be useful if the United States were to have apiece of the action. Wouldnt it be useful if some bright students from University of

42、 Vermont were tohave a piece of the action, Alley said.Alley said that Europe and parts of eastern North America could in a matter of a few yearsrevert to a cold, windy region, like the weather in Siberia. Such shifts have occurred frequentlyover the millennia, Alleys research shows. A gradual chang

43、e in atmospheric temperature, such asglobal warming, could push the climate to a threshold where such a shift suddenly occurs, he said.Alley told his audience of about 200 people in a University of Vermont lecture hall Wednesdayevening that he couldnt predict if, when or where sudden shifts toward c

44、old, heat, drought or watercould occur under global warming, but it is something everyone should consider.This is not the biggest problem in the world. The biggest problem in the world is getting alongwith each other. But its part of that because were not going to get along with each other if wereno

45、t getting along with the planet, Alley said.57.

47、warming?A. To find other energy sources besides fossil fuels.B. To start a political, scientific and economic debate.C. To take action to burn no fossil fuels.D.

48、ca into.A. a region like SiberiaB. a warmer and warmer placeC. a tropical regionD. a place like North Pole62. Ally thinks the biggest problem in the world isA. lack of harmony B. violence C. global warming D. climate shiftPassage ThreeWere talking about money here, and the things you buy with it-and

49、 about what attitude weshould take to spending.Across most of history and in most cultures, there has been a general agreement that weshould work hard, save for the future and spend no more than we can afford. Its nice to have acomfortable life right now, but it is best to think of the future. Yet e

50、conomists have long known thatthings dont work out that way. They point to an idea called the paradox of thrift. Imagine you arethe owner of a big business making consumer goods. You want your own staff to work hard andsave their money. That way, you dont have to pay them as much. But you want every

51、body else tospend all the money they can. That way you make bigger profits.Its a problem on a global scale. Many people in the UK and the United States are worriedabout levels of personal debt. Yet if people suddenly stopped buying things and started payingback what they owe to credit card companies

52、, all the economies of the Western world wouldcollapse. The banks would be happy, but everybody else would be in trouble.Traditionally, economists have believed that spending money is about making rational choices.People buy things to make their life better in some way. But in recent years, they hav

53、e noticed thatpeople often do not actually behave in that way. We all know people who take pleasure in buyinguseless things. And there are many people around who wont buy things that they need.In a recent series of experiments, scientists at Stanford University in the US confirmedsomething that many

54、 people have long suspected. People spend money because the act ofbuying gives them pleasure. And they refuse to spend when it causes them pain. The scientistsdiscovered that different areas of the brain that anticipate pleasure and pain become more activewhen we are making a decision to buy things.

55、 People who spend a lot have their pleasure centersstimulated. People who like to save find buying things painful.If you think you really want that product because its beautiful or useful, you are wrong, say thescientists. The desire to buy something is a product of the reaction between chemicals re

56、leasedby different parts of the brain when the eyes see a product.63. Across most of history and in most cultures, people are advised to _ .A. enjoy their present life as much as possibleB. spend every penny they have earnedC. save every penny for the futureD. save some money for later use64. Accord

57、ing to the context, paradox (in Paragraph 2) probably means“ _”.A. contradiction B. hypothesis C. declaration D. assertion65. It is implied that many people in the UK and the United StatesA. have to work hard to make ends meetB. spend more than they can affordC. have trouble in paying back their deb

58、tsD. dont pay back their debts on time66. According to the resent studies made by economists, people_.A. take pleasure in buying useless thingsB. wont buy things that they need.C. spend their money irrationallyD. make rational choices while spending theirmoney67. It has been proved by the scientists

59、 at Stanford University that some people like to savemoney because_ .A. they like keeping their money in the bankB. they will feel safe if they save enough money for the futureC. they dont want to spend their money on useless thingsD. spending money gives them pain68. The passage mainly tells us_ .A

60、. how to spend our moneyB. it is better to save some money for the futureC. it is the chemicals released from the brain that decide our spendingD. how to form a habit of rational spendingPassage FourTrees are good. Good enough to hug. Planting trees will make the world cooler than it wouldotherwise
