The city was essentially shut down after PM2. 5, fine Particulate(微粒物) pollution that is considered hazardous(有害的) . reached levels of 1000 micrograms per cubic meter-40 times the safety level remended by the World Health Organization. Schools, motorways and an airport were closed on Tuesday as visibility in some areas of the city dropped to less than 10 meters.
Photos from Harbin showed residents covering their mouths with masks and scarves, and moving like ghostly shadows through the fog. Cars and motorcycles are moving slowly as traffic came to a standstill with traffic lights barely visible. .
Just days previously , the World Health Organization"s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified air pollution as a carcinogen(致癌物) . It stated that there is " sufficient evidence" that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer and also linked it with an increased risk of bladder cancer. It"s said that exposure has increased significantly particularly in " rapidly industrial countries with large populations".
"The air we breathe has become polluted with a mixture of cancer-causing substances" , Dr Kurt Straif , head of the IARC said in a press released. "We now know that outdoor air pollution is not only a major risk to health in general, but also a leading environmental cause of cancer deaths. "
On the Chinese social media site Weibo , many users complained about the pollution and shared their concerns. References to "feed people with smog "have become popular on Weibo and there is a sarcastic play on the expression "serve the people" , as the two have a similar pronunciation.
"The impact of air pollution on people will be gradual. There won"t be a sudden outbreak of symptoms, but normally three to five days after the smoggy weather occurs, there is a peak in the number of people seeing doctors, " Deng Ying, a doctor at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University was quoted as saying.

There could hardly be a better time for them to prove their importance. The streets were left a mess after hundreds of carnival parades and now, rubbish pries up in both poor and uptown neighbourhoods and in tourist areas like Ipanema or Copacabana beach.
The president of Rio"s rubbish collecting company has even appealed to the population to store rubbish at home whenever possible. He says 30% of the city"s sweepers have gone on strike. Some of those who have been working have been threatened by the strike movement so now the police has been deployed alongside rubbish collectors to keep them sage as they go about their business.
The strike has divided opinions in Rio. On social media, many support the sweepers" demands for better salaries. Others say they are opportunists and the situation is a big embarrassment to the city.
But Brazil"s culture of littering the streets doesn"t help. A video that went viral online shows that even authorities have a problem with that. Rio"s mayor, Eduardo Paes, is seen throwing what seemed to be the rest of an apple on the sidewalk--and now promised to impose himself a fine for his wrongdoing. His government recently created a programme to keep Rio"s residents from littering the streets.
小题1:Rio"s street cleaners go on strike to
A.prove their importance | B.threaten the government |
C.ask for higher salaries | D.appeal to the public not to litter |
A.the police are called out to put down the riot | B.the police are required to protect some cleaners |
C.the police are to collect rubbish for the time being | D.the police are sent to arrest people who litter around |
A.hopeless | B.approving | C.critical | D.optimistic |
A.criticize, street sweepers of Rio for misusing their rights |
B.call attention to the embarrassing situation of Rio |
C.describe the effect or the strike on people |
D.inform people of the present situation of Rio |
What is the first thing you nitice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?
But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sightsand sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on slaes. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.
Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.
小题1:According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?
A.Friendly assistant. | B.Unique scents. |
C.Soft background music | D.attractive window display. |
A.ashow the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores |
B.urge shop assistants to change their attitude |
C.push stores to use sights and sounds |
D.introduce the rise of e-commerce |
A.a platform that exhibts goods |
B.a spot where travelers like to stay |
C.a place where customers love to go |
D.a target that a store expects to meet |
A.compare and evaluate | B.examine and assess |
C.argue and discuss | D.inform and explain |

At the of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷)State Park,I a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a ,permanent campsite in the park, and , the hosts served as a link between the park’s guests and the rangers (护林人).

Living in the tiny with no television, we sat close together reading and talking. One evening, standing under a jeweled sky,I found myself for all the hardships. We had walked the trails and climbed the canyon walls. We had become a family!

It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.
Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place,and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.
There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it,s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.
It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered---every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.
There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There9 s no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉),listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾)• You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything.
The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线),slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun,and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work,and hurry.
Normally you,re the type who can,t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around theworld.
“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.
小题1:When the author first went to Huaplee Beach,____
A.he found it unworthwhile |
B.he failed to sort himself out |
C.he became sensitive to smell |
D.he had difficulty in finding it |
A.No menu. |
B.Free food. |
C.Self service. |
D.Quick delivery. |
A.sits in a beach chair |
B.forgets his daily routine |
C.plans a detailed schedule |
D.draws pictures in the sand |
A.He shouldn’t have counted his blessings. |
B.He should have understood the wonder of nature. |
C.He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip. |
D.He should have come to the place earlier. |
