Air pollution
People and air pollution are often in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major kind of air pollution is the gas from cars. Statistics(统计资料) show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities.
Another major kind of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the county.
On the average, we throw away more rubbish than the year before. The burning of rubbish makes air pollution even worse. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes(烟)from iron, steel, chemical, and petrol production add particles(微粒)to the air.
The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode(腐蚀). In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.

Door-knocking is the most effective way of making face-to-face community contact, but it has become a lost art. With the recent focus on customer privacy, door-knocking seems like an intrusion into other people's lives. But those who try it for the first time are usually surprised by the pleasant reception they receive. Here are some suggestions that will help you promote your services face-to-face.
BEFORE YOU GO OUT
Begin with a door hanger
Try leaving a door hanger two days before you go door knocking. It should briefly describe the project and say that someone will be around in person.
Wear an official name tag
Door-knockers should wear name tags with the logo of their organization. The best name tags will also include a color photo and the name of the caller.
Have people knock their own blocks
The easiest way to do door-knocking is to try your local area first. Being a neighbor creates an immediate connection with the person answering the door; after that, everything else is easy.
WHEN YOU GO OUT
When to go and what to do first
The best times to knock are usually Saturdays. On other days, after dinner is ideal. When someone answers the door, smile and introduce yourself. Give the name of your organization and, briefly, the reason for the visit.
State what action the other person should take and the benefits
Tell the person what they need to do and how their actions will benefit themselves and others.
Record contact information on the spot
Record names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and responses to questions on the spot. You won't remember them later!
21. Why does the author say that door-knocking has become a lost art?
A. It is not effective, no one will take this method any more.
B. People focus on privacy increasingly, so door-knocking seems like an intrusion into other people's lives.
C. It is very difficult to do door-knocking, no one knows how to do it now.
22. Which step should be firstly taken when you try door-knocking?
A. Have people knock their own blocks.
B. Wear an official name tag.
C. Leave a door hanger.
23. Which time is not appropriate for door knocking?
A. Saturday afternoon.
B. Monday morning.
C. Thursday evening.
24. Who will receive pleasant reception when they try door-knocking?
A. A stranger who is not living in this community and gives no notice for his/her visit.
B. An offensive acquaintance who comes at any time.
C. A neighbor who does good preparation and has significant project to introduce.
25. What does the underlined phrase “on the spot” mean?

Save Money by Understanding Why You Spend It
To save money, you simply need to spend less than you earn. It is easy to say, but why is' it so difficult to do? To answer this question, you need to study the factors that keep you spending all the time.
Easy access to credit
For most people, this is the biggest reason for overspending. People can easily get a credit card, simply by filling out a short form. in a bank or jumping on their website. They can borrow money from banks to go shopping, even buy cars or houses. When you aren't physically handing someone money or a check for a purchase, you will feel you are spending free money or you aren't spending money at all. Try using cash to get your spending under control.
Misusing credit cards
A credit card is an interest free short-term loan. When used as planned, this can be a powerful financial tool. The problem is when you begin to let the balance continue from month to month. If you make a $200 purchase on your credit card and find out that at the end of the month you can't afford to repay the full amount, this is when the high interest rates on the cards really begin to hurt you. That is no way of saving money.
Giving in to temptation
We all need to enjoy life, but don't waste your financial future for a few guilty pleasures today if they aren't in your budget. When you know that you can't afford an activity, don't give in. Instead, invite your friends over for a home dinner party, game night, or some other activities where you can still enjoy time together, but without breaking your budget.
( ) 26. For most people, easy access to credit is the biggest reason for overspending.
( ) 27. Using credit card is an effective way to get your spending under control.
( ) 28. You have to pay for the credit card loans by the end of each month.
( ) 29. Using a credit card to pay is spending free money.
( ) 30. Always pay attention to your budget while spending.

I'm Michael Bush, Managing Director of Hoogle Engineering. I am pleased to welcome you here to our website and I'd like to tell you a little about the company and its organization. Hoogle Engineering was set up in 1960. It was divided into several departments at that time, such as the sales department, marketing department, and production department. Lots of managers were employed to manage it all.
Fortunately things are different now. Sixty people are employed by Hoogle and communication between departments is considered to be one of the most important aspects of the business. The market is global so we need to make contact with customers worldwide, not just locally.
But in the old days we were all in different departments and never spoke to each other. We had a tall structure. Traditionally we had people at the first level on the shop floor, manufacturing products according to the instructions which they were given. Then you had a supervisory level of people who supervised them every day. Then you moved up to the middle management, who were doing the tasks of getting new business, and then you had the senior management team, and then you had the board, who decided the business strategy. So there were a lot of levels in the company in the old days actually.
The structure today is that we form. teams within teams to place people who can manufacture a product. Each team has members that can manufacture different products. The actual teams now are self-managing, so we don't even have team leaders. You've got the teams, and then you've got two people, only two people, who are what you think of as management. This is generally called flat structure.

I want to translate the Web into every major language: every webpage, every video, and,yes, even Justin Bieber' s tweets.
Nowadays, most of the Web is inaccessible(不能接触的)to most people in the world because its content splits up into hundreds of languages with over 50% of it in English.This problem is pressing, now more than ever, with millions of people from China, Russia,Latin America and other quickly developing regions entering the Web.
There are certainly systems (like Google translate) that are improving every day at translating the gist of things written in other languages than English. Unfortunately, they are not yet accurate enough: even when what they spit out is intelligible(智能的),it’s so badly written that people can't read more than a few lines before getting a headache.
This is why a new project called Duo lingo is introduced here. Duo lingo aims at breaking the language barrier, and thus making the Web truly”world wide.”
The idea behind Duo lingo is to kill two birds with one stone by solving both of these problems simultaneously. It is accomplished by transforming language translation into something that anyone can do一not just bilinguals一and that millions of people want to do: learning a foreign language. It is estimated that over one billion people worldwide are learning a foreign language, with millions doing so using computer programs.
With Duo lingo, people learn and translate a foreign language at the same time. When you learn on Duo lingo, the website gives you exercises set specifically for you that teach you every aspect of the new language. You may be asked to translate a sentence, to pronounce or listen to a phrase, or to describe what you see in an image. In this way, Duo lingo produces translations that are as accurate as those from professional language translators.
26. What does the author want to do?().
A. Business communication.
B. Online Translation.
C. Door-to-door sales.
27. According to the article, most people in the world can’t receive most of the information on the Web due to the problem of().
A. different languages
B. social conflicts
C. governmental disagreement
28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of many translating systems?().
A. They are not accurate enough.
B. They don’t work every day.
C. The translations are badly written.
29. to kill two birds with one stone means to().
A. Spend time and moneymaking success
B. Do things without conside1ing its results
C. Solve both problems with only one move
30. What can you be asked to do to while using Duo lingo?().

B. To pay for the exercises you learn
C. To describe the image that you see

Here are a few ideas to help prevent your children from being a delinquent.
Keep your children in school to help prevent delinquency. Minor offenses, such as truancy, can lead to more serious offenses. Make clear to your children your expectations about their school attendance. Meet with school officials if necessary.

Seek the assistance of your local service agencies, if you feel you cannot control your children. Attend parenting classes, or join a local support group if you are having trouble understanding how to exercise discipline.

Get your children involved in after-school recreational activities, sports, community service or other positive activities. Young people with positive outlets for their energy are more likely to do well in school and avoid the problems of delinquency.
