2．Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities．But it seems that besides wearing a mask （口罩），few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it．Chai Jing，former news anchor with Chinese Central Television，discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome （穹頂之下）．
The 103-minute film was released on major Chinese video-sharing websites on Feb 28．In the film，Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists．She concludes that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5and smog．
To make things worse，according to Chai，the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and doesn't meet the standards （標(biāo)準(zhǔn)） for environmental protection．Therefore Chai says more harmful gas and particles （顆粒） have been produced to pollute the air．To solve the problem，Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace（代替） them with cleaner energy such as natural gas．
In her film，Chai also suggested that we should do something to help control smog too．For example，she says we can live a greener life by using more public transportation．Or if we see things that harm the environment，we will try to stop it．In one scene from the film，Chai saw a dirt mound in a building site exposed in the air，she asked the person in charge to cover it．When she saw a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities （過(guò)濾設(shè)備），she called the hotline 12369．The restaurant installed the filter a week later．
Chen Jining，the new minister of environmental protection，praised Chai．"This film encourages ordinary people to care for the environment．This is what we need in the future．"

88．Many people in China know the causes of smog，don't they？No，they don't．
89．How long does the film Under the Dome last？It lasts 103 minutes．
90．What are the main causes of PM2.5and smog？Burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog．
91．Why does Chai say more harmful gas and particles have been produced to pollute the air？Because the coal and oil we are burning is of poor quality and doesn't meet the standards for environmental protection．
92．What energy can replace coal and oil to reduce air pollution？Natural gas．/Cleaner energy．
93．What do you think of Chai's film？How should we control smog as an ordinary person？（at least two suggestions）It's meaningful．We should control smog by using more public transportation and using natural gas．．

6．One of the most widely accepted assumptions （假設(shè)） in our culture is that if you exercise，youwill lose weight．I exercise all the time，but I still have got fat．Why doesthis happen？
    More than 45 million Americans now belongto a health club，up from 23 million in 1993．We spend some $19 billion a yearon sports．Of course，some people join the health club but never go．Still，asone main study-the Minnesota Heart Survey-found，more of us at least say weexercise regularly．
    However，the number of fat people has risengreatly：a third of Americans are fat，and another third count as overweight．Yes，it's highly possible that those of us who regularly go to the sportscenter would weigh even more if we exercised less．But like many other people，I get hungry after I exercise，so I often eat more on the days I exercise thanon the days I don't．Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight？
    People believe that exercise is importantfor weight control is actually rather new．Doctors used to advise not toexercise too much，particularly for older adults who might hurt themselves．Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise because peoplewho regularly exercise are at a lower risk for most illness，especially heartproblems．They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses，but the roleof exercise in weight loss has been completely overestimated （評(píng)估過(guò)高）．

3．It seems school children all over the world complain about their school food．Cherie Blair，the wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair，said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve．So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school？
Japan
High schools have dining halls，which serve everything from noodles to rice，but not harmburgers and chips．Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls，meat or fish，and vegetables．
The United States
A typical （典型的） menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken，fruit and cookies．School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily diet allowances （定量） of protein （蛋白質(zhì)），vitamin A，vitamin C，iron and calories．
Australia
Meat pies and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops．But as the nation pays more attention to children's health，healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus．
Many schools have used a traffic light system．The sale of red-labelled （標(biāo)簽） foods including chocolate and soft drinks，is served only twice a week．Healthier green-labelled foods such as sandwiches，corn and watermelon，however are served every day．
In some schools，students have a choice of up to 89foods to choose from，including popcorn and rice．
South Africa
Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all．Classes end at 1：30pm and students get their own lunches．Many students bring food from home，usually sandwiches．
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students，which has led to a rise in obesity among children．But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different illnesses，some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition （營(yíng)養(yǎng)）．Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables，such as cabbages，onions，beans，carrots and tomatoes．

34．Which belongs to red-labelled food in Australia？B
A．sandwiches    
B．a(chǎn)pple juice       
C．tomatoes           
D．corn
35．What does the underlined word‘obesity'in the last paragraph probably mean？D
A．Allowances．
B．Sadness．
C．Nutrition．
D．Overweight．
36．What can we infer （推斷） from the passage？A
A．A typical menu from a US school is made up of nutrition．
B．Most students in South Africa eat their lunches at home．
C．Many schools in Australia have traffic lights inside their schools．
D．You can have whatever you like in school dining halls in Japan．
37．What is the main idea of the passage？C
A．Food served in the US is the best of all．
B．Schools should try to satisfy the needs of students．
C．Schools serve different foods from country to country．
D．School children all over the world dislike their school food．
