London used to be “foggy”--- the “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog. In other words, it was caused by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but a lot of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean up the air. It didn’t allow people to born coal in any British city. A few years later, the air became much cleaner.

Today many Chinese cities face the same problem with air pollution that London faced sixty years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of pollution comes from big factories, rather than from the coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were suddenly closed, it would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuels is quite expensive. However, the air in many cities will become cleaner, as the government and ordinary people pay more and more attention to protecting the environment.

1.Where was the pollution from in London over sixty years ago?

A. The pollution came from factories.

B. The pollution was from coal that people burnt in their houses.

C. The pollution was from too much traffic on the roads.

D. The pollution was from factories and coal that people burnt in their houses.

2.How was the air in London after the government didn’t allow people to born coal in any British city?

A. In most of Chinese cities there is smog.

B. The reasons of smog in China.

C. The reasons of why it’s difficult for China to solve “smog”.

D. What did Chinese government do to solve “smog”.

4.Which of the following is not true EXCEPT ____.

A. people in London were allowed to born coal sixty years ago.

B. the air pollution in many Chinese cities is not serious.

" To seek(追求) happiness is to look for it" was once said by the famous French author Jules Renard. Look for it? Sure…but don't spend a lifetime trying, especially if it's well within your reach but you're just too blind to see it. Discover the three keys to happiness that you have already understood, but that you are just too afraid to find it.

1. Accepting Yourself

The idea of happiness is difficult to understand if you are not at peace with yourself. Learn to accept yourself as you are. Your next step will be to improve your attitude for tomorrow, for the next day, for the day after that, and so forth.

By beginning to accept reality, you will come to the final point of true happiness. Only when you are at peace with yourself, will you finally be able to admit(承认) that you are, in fact, a happy person.

2. Forgiving Others

Forgiving others is a true show of humanity(入性) which also allows us to feel more at ease. When you learn to forgive, you also learn to keep a firm hold on your life. To forgive is to open the doors of personal satisfaction. Yet you simply open your mind to answer, " Do I really want to allow my anger to grow and eat me from inside out?"

3. Helping Your Neighbors

When a friend seems to be suffering from a state of depression(沮丧) , it's quite easy to help him or her out of the trouble. The best attitude to have in this situation is to make him or her understand that he or she is not alone.

If you come to save a friend in need, you'll feel a lot more at peace with yourself. You will feel high—spirited by knowing that someone is looking at life on the brighter side thanks to your kind words.
