Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease．But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses(分析) now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure．In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely（可能的） to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure．A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U．S．Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress（强调）that these risks are relatively（相对的）small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure．However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices．So stricter regulation（规章制度）by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.
1.The text mainly discusses the relationship between _______.
A．heart problems and air quality
B．heart problems and exercising
C．heart problems and smoking
D．heart problems and fatty food
2.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________ .
A．relatively high
B．extremely（极大地）low

D．extremely high
3.What can we learn from the text?
A．Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart
B．The EPA conducted many studies on air quality
C．Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking
D．Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
4.The author's purpose of writing the text is most likely to________
A．inform
B．persuade（说服）
C．describe
D．entertain（娱乐）

Bruce Jun Fan Lee was born in the hour of the Dragon, between 6 and 8 a.m., in the “Year of the Dragon” on November 27, 1940 at the Jackson Street Hospital in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Today, a plaque (牌匾) in the hospital’s entry remembers the place of his birth. Bruce’s birth, in the hour and the year of Dragon, is a powerful symbol in Chinese astrology (星相学). It would be a strong indication of the powerful life that was to be lived by Bruce Lee and the explosive influence his life would have on countless others.
At the age of three months, Lee Hoi Chuen, his wife Grace and baby Bruce returned to Hong Kong where Bruce would be raised until the age of 18. Probably because of the long ocean voyage and the change in climates, Bruce was not a strong child in his very early years, a condition that would change when he took up the study of kung fu at the age of 13.
At the age of 13, Bruce was introduced to Master Yip Man, a teacher of the Wing Chun style of kung fu. For five years Bruce studied diligently and became very proficient. Regarding Yip Man as a master teacher and wise man, Bruce respected him greatly and frequently visited with him in later years. When he first took up kung fu, he used his new skills to fight his “enemies”, but it did not take long for Bruce to learn that the real value of martial arts training is that the skills of physical combat (搏斗) build up confidence to the point that one does not feel the constant need to defend one’s honor through fighting.
In high school, Bruce, now no longer a weak child, was beginning to improve his body through hard training. One of his accomplishments was winning an interschool Boxing Championship against an English student. Given the graceful movements, which would later be spectacularly displayed in his films, it is no surprise that Bruce was also an excellent dancer, and in 1958 he won the Hong Kong Cha Cha Championship.
At the age of 18, Bruce was looking for new prospect in his life, as were his parents who were discouraged that Bruce had not made much progress academically. His family decided that it was time for him to return to the land of his birth and find his future there. In April of 1959, with $100 in his pocket, Bruce boarded a steamship and began his voyage to San Francisco.
1.The plaque at the entrance of the Jackson Street Hospital is considered as ________.
A. an obvious sign of Bruce’s powerful life
B. a strong influence of Bruce’s life on others
C. a reminder of Bruce Lee’s birthplace
D. a powerful symbol in Chinese astrology
2.Bruce didn’t have a strong body until ________.
A. he practiced boxing in high school
B. he took up kung fu with Master Yip Man
C. he won a dancing championship
D. he returned to the land of his birth
3.Learning kung fu diligently from Master Yip Man, Bruce soon realized that ________.
A. one can’t master kung fu skills without much practice
B. only through physical combat can one defend his honor
C. one can never defeat himself unless trained by a master
D. excellent kung fu skills can strengthen one’s confidence considerably
4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Bruce didn’t have outstanding academic achievements in school
B. Master Yip Man offered to teach Bruce Chinese kung fu for free
C. Bruce’s parents sent him back to San Francisco for better education
D. Bruce made a big fortune by participating in boxing competitions
