• 2．Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer （掃盲志愿者）.The training I received，though excellent，didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student，however.When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read，I realized the true importance of reading.
     My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children.In the first lesson，I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take.When I told her I would get her a bus schedule，she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it.She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed.Also，she could only recognize items by sight，so if the product had a different label （標(biāo)簽，商標(biāo)），she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
     As we worked together，learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence.She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket.After this successful trip，she reported how self-confident she felt.At the end of the program，she began helping her youngest son，Tony，a shy first grader，with his reading.I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
     As a literacy volunteer，I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others.In fact，I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

• 3．Breathing dirty air can cost someone's lifespan （壽命 ）months-even years，a new study finds.Worldwide，air pollution lowers average lifespans by a year.Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science&.Technology Letters.
     Air pollution （污染） has been linked to many health problems.Most earlier studies have looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death.But now an environmental scientist，Joshua Apte，is going even furtjye.air.He works at the University of Texas，Austin.He together with his team is looking at life expectancy，hoping to make the threat easier to understand.
     PM 2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles of pollution in the air.Higher levels of PM 2.5 can cause health problems and cut months，if not years，from the average lifespan.This analysis shows pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.
     The World Health Organization （WHO） recommends limiting PM 2.5 to 10 micrograms （微克） per cubic （立方） meter of air.Apte's group used data to try to find how this low level would help people.But meeting the WHO standard won't get rid of health damage from dirty air.That's because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter pollution still causes huge risks.
     Reducing air pollution could increase life expectancy.The scientists also compared how other threats shorten life spans across the globe.These risk factors included smoking and cancer.
     These results show that in poor countries，cleaning up dirty air could greatly increase life spans.It could have as big an effect as cleaning up drinking water，or curing lung cancer.However，in wealthier countries air pollution shortens life expectancy by less than half a year.All forms of cancer，in fact，shorten the average life expectancy by more than 3.5 years. "Knowing this can really help people，or policymakers，decide where to spend their money， " says Kirk Smith.
  （1）Why is Joshua Apte's team carrying out the study？

  
  A．Know how small air pollutants are.
  B．Study many different healthy problems.
  C．Let people understand air pollution better.
  D．Study the life expectancy of different people.
  （2）What will happen if one country limits PM 2.5 to 10 micrograms per cube meter？

  
  A．Its air is very clean.
  B．It still has pollution risks.
  C．It will get a prize from WHO.
  D．Its people will live a healthy life.
  （3）What can we infer from the last paragraph？

  
  A．It's very hard to clean up dirty air in a short time.
  B．Lung cancer is the leading killer in all kinds of cancers.
  C．Reducing air pollution can increase all people's lifespans much.
  D．The study will help different countries or people take different policies.
  （4）What can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Air Pollution is Shortening Lives Worldwide.
  B．Many Factors are Affecting People's Health.
  C．Governments are Trying to Make Lifespan Long.
  D．The Effect of Cancer is Worse than Dirty Air.
