London used to be “foggy”( 有雾的) for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today. The “fog” was in fact smog(烟雾), a mixture of smoke and fog.In other words, it was made by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal(煤)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 the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city. Within a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.

Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive.

However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution. As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing than there used to be.

1.What was the main reason for air pollution in London?

A.There was too much smoke in the sky.

B.There were too many factories in the city.

C.People burnt too much coal in the houses.

2.How did the air in London become much cleaner?

A.There was not so much fog in the winter later.

B.A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses.

C.Many factories in the city were closed.

3.What does the underlined work “pea-soupers” refer to?

A.Smog. B.Smoke. C.Gas.

4.The problem of air pollution is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve because of _____reasons

A.one B.two C.three

5.Which sentence is Not true?

A.Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.

B.Factories made much more pollution in China.

C.The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.

Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS told them they could drive from the mainland to an island, failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.

As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay in Queensland to nearby North Stradbroke Island, they started to notice the firm gravel(沙石)surface they were driving on giving way to the renowned bay mud.However, being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon, they decided to plough on, managing to travel around 500 metres before their Hyundai Getz(现代汽车)was up to its axles tires in mud.To make matters worse, the tide started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle.Just four hours later the car was trapped in two metres of water —— to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.

Yuzu Noda, 21, said she was listening to the GPS and “it told us we could drive down there.It kept saying it would navigate us to a road.But we got stuck…there’s lots of mud.” She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki, 22, and Keita Osada, 21, instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊车)driver who was called to the trapped car.No such luck for the hired car though – after assessing the situation, no attempt was made to recover it.The students from Tokyo, who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit.“We want to come back to Australia again.Everyone is very nice, even today.” Ms Yuzu said.

Remaining excited, Mr. Tomonari joked that the car may have got stuck because it was built in Korea.“Maybe if it was Japanese it would be okay,” he said.He added, “It has rained every day on our six day holiday.Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.” The car was covered by insurance, but the tourists will have to pay up to about $1500 in extra charges.

There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.

1. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sports and leisure activities as well as school expectations.

The business also adds another factor: They need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly. 2.Computers, DVDs, CDs, television, Play-Stations and X-boxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a lifestyle of less exercise.

Environments vary. 4. This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.

I recently visited London and traveled on the tube while I was there. Apart from the people , almost everybody else was on their phones, and because of the nature of the tube, it is difficult not to see what they are all doing. Of course, being it is difficult to get any signal, which rules out texting or using the Internet, there is still plenty you can use your phones for. People were playing , reading articles and listening to music, and I’m sure that as soon as they from the train station they would start texting, calling or checking their emails. There is a constant to everyone in the world, you have a mobile phone in your hand.

Recently, my smart-phone broke and had to be to the warehouse for for a week or so. In the meantime I had to use a really , basic phone just to keep in touch with my family and friends. All I could do on this phone was send , make calls and play one game. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn’t mind not having constant about what my friends were doing or what the latest celebrity story was. It was quite and it allowed me to spend more time my surroundings—I could my time in London more, for example, and I could watch the people around me and really see what was going on.

, I knew that as soon as I got my smart-phone back I would be one of those people once again, to finding out what everyone is doing and my time playing games or checking social network sites. Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and I ever got my smart-phone back...

Most of you love watching movies. They can be funny, sad, imaginative, inspiring, and so much more! There are so many possibilities and so many great movies to watch!

The making of a movie usually begins with a script (剧本). 1. The producer is the person who is responsible for coordinating(协调) aspects of the film like budget and scheduling. The producer plans out how the project will be carried out and he usually starts by hiring a director!

2. The director will usually identify themes or feelings that he or she wants the movie to convey to its audience and will then assemble(聚集) all the other people who will be needed, such as costume-designers, makeup artists, special effects crew, stuntmen, cameramen, and, of course, actors!

Next, shooting begins! 3. Often a director will want to get several “takes” (versions) of a scene or moment and usually only a few minutes of the movie are finished in one day’s work. 4. So once filming is completed, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in any special effects or touch-ups.

The entire process from acquiring the script to editing the scenes generally takes months or even years! Once it’s ready, the finished movie is then distributed to movie theatres. 5.

A. Scenes are also usually not shot in order.

B. The actual filming can be a slow process.

C. The way that movies are made has changed a lot over time.

D. It gets bought by a movie studio or a producer.

E. The producer plays a very important role in making a movie.

F. In movies, the director’s job is to bring the script to life on camera.

G. People can watch and enjoy it in the theatre.
