14.It was once thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and/or heavy automobile traffic.Today,we know that although  these are the areas with the worst air pollution,the problem is actually worldwide.On several occasions over the past decade,a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern half of the United States and led to health warnings even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic.In fact,the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution.Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a"greenhouse effect"-----holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature.If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees,much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York,Boston,Miami,and New Orleans will be under water. 
     Another view,less widely held,is that increasing particulate (废气排往空中而形成的微粒、颗粒)matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature─a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely).Perhaps,if we are very lucky,the two tendencies willoffset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.

34.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.

11.Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger.(33)AHave you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test?But when done a lot-especially without realizing it-emotional eating can affect weight,health,and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.(34)EOne of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings.Yes,people often turn to food when they're stressed out,lonely,sad,anxious,or bored.But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too,like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events,like a death or a divorce.(35)GEmotional eating patterns can be learned:A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done.(36)BIt's not easy to"unlearn(抛弃)"patterns of emotional eating.But it is possible.And it starts with an awareness of what's going on.
We're all emotional eaters to a degree.But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem,causing serious weight gain or other problems.The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone,the feelings that cause it remain.(37)DThat's why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.
Next time you reach for a snack,wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.
A.Believe it or not,we've all been there.
B.If a crying boy gets some cookies,he may link cookies with comfort.
C.One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.
D.And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.
E.Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.
F.Boys seem to prefer hot,homemade comfort meals,while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.
G.More often,though,it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.
10.Alexis,17,sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car.She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife.Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them."Dad,there's a deer there!"Alexis said.It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.
As the car moved closer,Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground.Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head.Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman.Sue,a 44-year-old mother,had been out for her morning run.The deer followed her and edged closer."I knew I was in trouble,"Sue says.She went to pick up a stick for self-defense,and the deer charged.It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air.Sue could feel blood flew down her leg.Within seconds,the deer had pushed her off the road.
When Alexis and her father pulled up,the deer was throwing Sue like a doll.Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes,and before her father had even stopped the car,the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer."I was kicking it to get its attention,"she says.Then her father,who had followed his daughter,pushed the deer away from the women.
Alexis helped Sue into the car,and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg."We're going to get you to a hospital,"Alexis said.Then she heard her father shout loudly.He had been knocked to the ground.Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back.She beat the deer's head and neck,but the blows didn't scare it away."I was losing faith,"she says."A couple more strikes,Alexis,"said her father."You can do it."Turning the hammer around,Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength.When she opened her eyes,the deer was running away.Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.
After Sue was treated,she tearfully thanked her rescuers."You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,"she says,"not to beat up a deer."

6.With just a few minutes left before school was to start,my six-year-old son,Dustin,was pouting (撅嘴)."I don't want to go,"he said.Ever since he'd entered the first grade,he has hated school.What's going on?I thought as he walked slowly out of the door.If he hates school this much now,how bad will it be later on?
    Every kid sometimes complains about school.But five to ten percent of kids dislike it so much that they don't want to attend school,says Christopher Kearney,director of the Child School Refusal and Anxiety Disorders Clinic at the University of Nevada,Las Vegas.
    If a child seems depressed or anxious about school,fakes illness to stay home,repeatedly winds up in the nurse's or principal's office,or refuses to talk about the school day,you should be concerned,say school psychologists Michael Martin and Cynthia Waltman-Greenwood,co-editors of"Solve Your Child's School-Related Problems".
    Fortunately,you can usually solve the problem-sometimes very easily.In our case,my husband and I visited Dustin's class and noticed that the teacher,fresh out of college,only called on kids who tried to sit right under her nose quickly.Dustin,who generally sat near the back,was ignored.We simply told him to move up front.He did,and his enthusiasm returned.
