                                 （二）

The World Health Organization(世界卫生组织)says air pollution kills seven millionpeople around the world each year. Even if polluted air does not kill us, it can make us very sick.

However, breathing dirty air may do more than hurt your body. It can also affect (影响)your brain and your ability to think.

A new study shows that air pollution can cause a “huge” reduction(减少) in our intelligence(智商). The researchers reported that the long-term exposure(暴露)  to air pollution can affect a person’s mental(智力) abilities in two areas: language and math.

Xi Chen, the researcher of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person’s education level by about one year.Chen said that the effect (结果)generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, especially for men and for those with little or no education.

 “The older persons — they are more affected. And we find, quite interestingly, men are more affected than women. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.”

The researchers noted that the effect of pollution on language ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated.

Why were language skills more affected than math? There are two main kinds of tissue(组织) in the brain: white matter and grey matter. White matter is more connected with a person’s language skills, while grey matter is connected to our ability to solve math problems. Studies have shown that air pollution has a great effect on the white matter in the brain, but not the grey matter.

Chen said that air pollution did affect the math skills, just not as much as their language skills.

36．Air pollution causes_______million people to die around the world each year.

A．one B．two C．seven D．sixty-four

37．Which is not true according to the passage?

A．Breathing dirty air may hurt your body.

B．Breathing dirty air can affect your brain,

C．Breathing dirty air can affect your ability to think.

D．Breathing dirty air can make your immune system(免疫系统) strong.

38．The effect of breathing polluted air generally is worse for those people except __________.

A．men B．women

C．those with little or no education D．those over 64 years of age

39．In the sixth paragraph, “people working outdoors” probably refers to(指的是) “________”.

A．the researchers

B．people with little or no education

C．people from the World Health Organization

D．people from the Yale School of Public Health

40．Air pollution affected the language skills                 math skills.

A．as much as B．as little as C．more than D．less than

           My Low-carbon Life

It’s our duty to protect the environment.

The environment is becoming worse and worse. We must live a low-carbon life to protect the environment. First, we can go to school on foot every day. Second, we should save electricity by turning off the fans, computers and lights in time when we leave the classroom. What’s more, water should be saved and reused by us. We need to turn off the taps when we don’t use water. At last, remember to go shopping with baskets or cloth bags rather than plastic bags. I believe our life will become better and better if we can do these things.

Lower-carbon life, happier life. Let’s take action.
