Yousuf and his family left their home in eastern Afghanistan eight years ago. They went to the city of Kabul to escape war, but they could not escape sadness. Five of Yousuf's children died in the Afghan capital, not from violence, but from air pollution.

Kabul has become one of the most polluted cities in the world. On many days, a mix of smog and smoke lies over the city. In some cases, families burn whatever they can to keep warm in cold weather. The air in their own homes then poisons them. Many years of war have worsened the damage to Afghanistan's environment. At the local Children's Hospital, doctors say they have seen the number of patients with pollution-related health problems increase. Saifullah Abassin, a doctor at the hospital, says his hospital ward(病房) can hold 10 patients but often has three times that number.

“Thirty years ago, it was a wish for people to come to Kabul and breathe its air,” said Ezatullah Sediqi, deputy director for the National Environmental Protection Agency. “But in the wars since, we lost all our urban infrastructure(基础设施) for water, electricity, public transportation, green areas, all these things.”

Kabul's environmental department has started a program to control old vehicles, one major source of pollution. City officials have called on people to use fuel instead of burning garbage for heat. But there are other steps officials need to take, such as passing a plan to stop unplanned development and creating more green spaces.

1.What made Yousuf and his family leave their home?

A.War. B.Sadness. C.Violence. D.Air pollution.

2.What is NOT the cause of Afghanistan's environment problem?

A.Burning garage. B.Creating green spaces.

C.Using old vehicles. D.Losing urban infrastructure.

3.In which part of the newspaper may this text appear?

A.Education. B.Environment. C.Science. D.Culture.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 36  problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very 37 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in 38  diary?

The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 39  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 40  that she does not want to 41 .

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 42  a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 44  I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 45   in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   46  that my sister might read it!

The biggest 47  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 48 about her in my diary, she would never know! 49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 50  read her blog and get a “cry”.

There are also 51  to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary:  “Nobody cares about me.” 52  would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 53  respond and tell her how much they 54  her. Blogs help people 55   in touch with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
