Breathing dirty air comes at a high price. Air pollution lowers the average life spans (寿命) by a year worldwide and in more polluted parts of Asia and Africa, dirty air shortens lives up to twice that much. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters. The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country-by-country look at the connection between the length of life and what’s known as fine PM.

Air pollution has been linked to many health problems. Most earlier studies had looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death. Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand. PM2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles (颗粒) of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM2.5 can cause health problems and cut months, if not years, from the average length of life. This analysis shows how pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Apte’s group calculated how holding pollution to this low level would help people. In countries with very dirty air, meeting this standard would lengthen people’s lives. However, in countries whose air already meets this standard, the study shows no gain in life expectancy. In other words, meeting the WHO standard won’t reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks. Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.

1.What is special about the study?

A.It won recognition from a professional journal.

B.It discussed health problems caused by air pollution.

C.It gathered lots of data for the Global Burden of Disease.

D.It analyzed the link between life spans and PM by country.

2.What is Joshua Apte’s team trying to do?

A.Help people better understand air pollution.

B.Study life expectancy in different countries.

C.Know how small air pollutants affect health.

D.Deal with different kinds of health problems.

3.What will happen if a country limits PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air?

A.People’s life spans will surely increase. B.It will get strong support from the WHO.

C.People’s health may not be much improved. D.It will guarantee people clean air.

4.What might be discussed in the following paragraphs?

A.How cleaning up the air can lengthen lives.

B.How air pollution shortens lives by country.

C.How other threats shorten life expectancy.

D.How all the countries deal with severe pollution.

A new study shows that air pollution can cause a huge reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.

The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.

The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide （二氧化硫）.

Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person's education level by about one year.

Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.

“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.

He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.

The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.

1.What is the result of the study?

A.Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.

B.Females are more affected by air pollution than males.

C.Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.

D.People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.

2.What did Chen say about the study?

A.It is doubtful.

B.It is extremely unfair.

C.It is common and not representative.

D.It is relatively objective and persuasive.

3.What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?

A.The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.

B.The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.

C.The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.

D.Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.

4.Where is the text most likely taken from?

A.A life diary. B.A guidebook.

C.A science magazine. D.A biography.
