The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are
killing millions of people each year.
Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook-stoves in the home. To help fight the problem, the WHO announced new guidelines aimed at reducing household pollutants.
WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple coal cook-stoves. Most of the deaths are in developing countries.
Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO’s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not improve the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors.
WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia（肺炎）and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatemala and Peru, are also at risk.
Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.
WHO experts note some new, safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available. In India, you can buy an induction（电或磁）stove for about $ 8.00. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.00.
24. What has been done to reduce indoor air pollution?
A. The WHO provided selfless assistance for the poor. B. People are forbidden to use coal-stoves inside.
C. The WHO issues official advice to cut down pollution. D. People are taught how to correctly use their stoves. 25. According to WHO officials, we can know that ________. A. many people refuse to use clean fuels and technologies B. seven million people die from indoor air pollution C. simple coal cook-stoves cause too many deaths D. the processed coal is dangerous to people’s health
26. It can be concluded from the fifth paragraph that ________. A. most children are suffering a lot from lung cancer B. solid fuels are easily producing pollutants C. sub-Saharan Africa is the poorest place
D. some countries are at the risk of using up fuels 27. What can we infer from the passage?
A. More and more will die in the future. B. It is not hard to solve indoor air pollution. C. Most people cannot afford a new stove. D. The WHO will take strong measures.

You may think, salt is just a simple cooking element we shake on our food for a little extra taste. But salt is much more than that. Without salt our muscles would not move. Our nervous systems would not operate. Our hearts would not beat.
But do not think rubbing salt in a wound will help. Doing that would be painful and not heal the wound. To rub salt in a wound is an idiom that means to purposefully make a bad situation worse.
Early humans got the salt they needed to stay alive from the animals they killed. But advances in agriculture led to a diet low in salt. So, humans needed to find other sources. Those who lived near the ocean or other natural sources for salt were lucky. Those who did not had to trade for salt. In fact, people used salt as a method of payment in many parts of the ancient world. The word “salary” comes from the word “salt”.
Salt also played an important part in population movement and world exploration. Explorers understood that if they could keep food fresh, they could travel longer distances. So they used salt to preserve food and explored the world.
Salt was so important that, according to food historians, it was traded pound-for-pound for gold. Today, people still use the expressions “to be worth one’s salt” or “worth one’s weight in salt”. The expressions describe a person of value.
A person might also be called salt of the earth. That description means he or she is dependable and trustworthy. However, when you say “I think we should take what he said with a grain of salt” you mean you accept it but maintain a degree of doubt about its truth. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Salt plays an important part in our life. B. Salt makes food tasty.
C. Salt is considered to be part of our muscles. D. Salt is sure to damage nervous systems. 29. A beggar’s bread was stolen last night, which means ________.
A. salt of the earth B. rubbing salt in a wound C. a diet low in salt D. worth his salt 30. If you describe a person as a great help, you mean ________.
A. he is called salt of the earth B. he is often taken as a grain of salt C. he often uses salt to preserve meat D. he is worth his weight in salt 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Salt Is More Than a Four-Letter Word. B. Salt Is a Basic Element in Cooking. C. Salt Is a Word with a Long History. D. Salt Is Popular with Different Persons.
D
Controlling traffic is a complex and high cost problem in many developed countries. It becomes more difficult and costly with the ever-increasing number of cars on the roads. But scientists and students at the CATT, at the University of Maryland are working to solve this problem. They are using simulation（模拟）technologies to help government and private business control and react to changing traffic conditions.
The online economics magazine Forbes. com says traffic congestion（拥挤）cost Americans $124 billion in 2014 and that number could rise to $186 billion by 2030.
