    ⒈An artist Tries to Solve the Smog Problem

        Beijing is a city often covered with smog. Many people are looking for ways to solve it. A Dutch artist has made a tower that takes in smog and gives off clean air. This tower is 7 metres tall and is the biggest air cleaner in the world, according to Chinanews.com. It can clean the air in an area the size of a soccer field in 36 hours.

        Beijing has been testing the tower since January. But some experts don't think this tower can truly work. "It's more of an art piece to raise people's awareness(意识) of air protection," they said. People will know if the tower works when the results come out.

        There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat", and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. But, a team of American scientists have found something new about eating sweet food.

        "When we say some people are 'sweet', we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts," said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is find whether we can know someone's character and behaviour according to his or her taste."

        In one of their experiments, students were asked questions about their character - whether, for example, they were soft- hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favourite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.

        In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food, such as cookies and chocolate, were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren't. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in hospital and so on.

    The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.

    (1)、The underlined word "it" refers to "________________".
    A、the sweet food B、the eating habit C、the American team D、the English saying
    (2)、According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people ________________.
    A、overweight B、excited C、relaxed D、friendly
    (3)、The scientists found that people who preferred _________________ were less helpful.
    A、ice-cream B、chocolate C、chips D、cookies
    (4)、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
    A、There is some relationship between someone's character and his or her taste. B、Kids are told to eat more sweet food. C、What you put in your mouth will show your character. D、If people want to be kind or friendly, they can try some sweet food.
    (5)、It can be learnt from the passage that ________________.
    A、scientists asked college students questions about their future B、scientists told college students not to eat sweet food C、people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others D、people's character has nothing to do with their taste

        With time going by and science developing, there are some problems of the environment (become) more and more serious. Most of these problems are caused by human (activity).

        Many years ago, we might not hear of haze(雾霾). But now most of us more than know what haze is and learn the huge disaster caused by haze. For the past two years, haze has appeared in many cities, our life and health (affect) by haze.

        Recently, the topic of air pollution has again attracted more and more attention since pollution haze, a kind of weather, (appear) frequently in our city.

And we can take example by England, because they (have) the same problem long time ago.
