A recently study found people’s lives are made shorter in North China. It is showed the life expectancy(平均寿命) had been cut down by 5.5 years there. Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame(承担责任). It’s really the truth. Our government has already done something. However, it doesn’t seem to work so well.

“Air pollution in China is doing harm to people’s health. The harm is much more serious than we can imagine,” said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University, one of researchers of this study.

Dirty air brings serious problems in North China. In January this year, the air pollution was worse than that in other places. That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas(废气) from coal heating.

Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution. They should think of more proper ways to deal with the problem. People should be encouraged to take buses, ride bicycles or walk, instead of driving cars. The factories that pollute heavily should be closed.

“We need to improve our environment, although it might be expensive. Protecting our environment means protecting ourselves,” Li Hongbin, another researcher of the study said.

1. The passage above may come from a(n) 　　　　 ?

A. story　　　　 B. advertisement

C. report　　　 D. diary

2. Which of the following is Li Hongbin’s idea?

A. The life expectancy had been cut by 5.5 years.

B. Chinese government should close some factories that pollute heavily.

C. People need to make pollution less, although it might cost a lot.

D. The air problem brings us serious problems.

3. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Air pollution in North China is caused by waste gas.

B. To save the environment, our government should do something more.

C. The temperature becomes higher and higher in North China.

D. How air pollution in North China is caused.

Who's in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it's other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿)，their passions a quotation.”

So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug－we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品)，we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.

But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom－the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot-control what other people think. People have their own agenda(日程安排), and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probable pleasing no one in the process.

So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way－make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values－not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic(真实的), effective, purposeful and happy life.

1.What Oscar Wilde says implies that________.

A. most people's thoughts are controlled by others.

B. we have thoughts similar to those of others.

C. most people have a variety of thoughts.

D. other people's thoughts are more important.

2. What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?

A. The price of taking the drug is freedom.

B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.

C. We may lose ourselves to please others.

D. We need to pay for what we want to get.

3. It can be concluded from the passage that________.

A. it's important to accept others' opinions.

B. it's better to do what we like.

C. we shouldn't care what others think.

D. we shouldn't change our won opinions.

4. The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by________.

A. making suggestions.                      B. analyzing causes and effects.

C. providing examples and facts.        D. discussing questions
