With the crazy smog going on in China, busine...

With the crazy smog going on in China, businessmen are now ready to sell people something to fight against the smog. "Smog economy" has helped certain products against the terrible weather become popular. Now let's see what we have on the list to help us through the terrible weather.

1. Masks

Well, I would say you had better stay indoors to save your lives. PM 2. 5 just increased greatly up t0 750 in Beijing recently.　 3M just sold 220,000 masks of a kind.　 No. 1 best-selling products !

2. Air purifiers(空气净化器)

This kind of products was rarely seen in Chinese households in the past. They have become a must now. I do like these little devices, though they are expensive.

3. Oxygen inhalers(氧气吸人器)

I didn't realize oxygen inhalers also get a cut in the smog economy.　 As a matter of fact, your oxygen uptake has nothing to do with relieving (减轻) the bad effect of smog. It might even lead to oxygen poisoning when you inhale too much oxygen. So don't get greedy.

4. Salt lamps

Compared to oxygen inhalers, salt lamps are even worse. Some stores are selling the products at several hundred yuan , saying that they can release negative ions(离子), reduce radiation levels and purify the air.　 The lamps mainly contain sodium chloride.　 The boiling point of sodium is about 800 degrees centigrade and that of candle is 500.　 So how on earth can negative ions be released at only 500 degrees?

5. Plants that absorb smog

Yeah, right. Plants Vs Smog. It is scientifically justified (证明) that some plants do absorb pollutants(污染物)from the air. Many plants and calla lilies are among the best-sellers in the market. Even if they don't work, it's good to have some plants in the house anyway.

1.According to the passage, smog _　　 .

A.　 encourages people to run away from it

B. keeps people stay indoors day and night

C. gives businessmen chances to make money

D. has nothing to do with the economy

2.Salt lamps are useless, because 　　　　　　 .

A. its high boiling point may cause a big fire

B. people don't know how to increase its low boiling point

C. it may make the air even worse and dirtier

D. it actually can't give off the negative ions

3. How many products does the author think of as useful ways to fight against the smog?

A. Two.　　 B. Three.　　 C. Four.　　 D. Five.

With computers becoming more and more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters (汉字）. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.

Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their writings are typed on a computer.

All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being used more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.

“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”

“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”

Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”

To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

1.Which of the following can BEST serve as the title of the passage?

A. To Type or To Hand Write

B. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing

C. Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand

D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters

2.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because　　　　　 .

A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently

B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays

C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character

D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China

3.The underlined expression “taking stock in” in the fourth paragraph probably means 　　　　　 .

A. getting bored with　　　　　　 　 B. getting dependent on

C. becoming upset about　　　　　　 D. looking forward to

4.We can draw the conclusion from the passage that 　　　　　 .

A. more and more students will give up writing on a computer

B. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day

C. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting

D. the typed article better expresses one’s emotion and quality

BEIJING, Feb. 26 (China Daily) -- As the smog orange warning continues, tourist attractions in Beijing are experiencing a significant decline (下降) in visitor number.

A new report launched by Beijing authorities on the morning of February 24 indicates that the concentration of PM 2.5 has risen, with no sign of decreasing, the orange warning will still be in effect, according to Xinhua News Agency.

According to data released by the Beijing Tourism Website, by 2:00 pm, February 24, popular tourist attractions including The Great Wall and Palace Museum had been affected by the smog in terms of tourist numbers.

As for the Palace Museum, the number of visitors was only 11,200 that day, far from the figure of 40,000, which is the daily average number of visitors it normally receives.

There were a few visitors in Beihai Park on the morning of February 24, and two visitors from Hebei province planned to end their morning tour earlier than scheduled because of the smog. One of them said, “The visibility is so poor that we can’t take good photos, or even see clearly. We’d better leave early.”

In response to worsening air conditions, travel agencies have also taken some measures to avoid a further decline in tourist numbers. An employee with China Youth Travel Service, Wang Tao, said the agency will inform tourists of the weather conditions at their destinations. A tour guide with China Travel Service also told the media that it was a tour guide’s duty to inform foreign visitors of the smog conditions in Beijing, and the agency will provide free face masks to those in need. But efforts to do so merely treat the symptom rather than the disease itself, because the root cause is air pollution. China will introduce various emergency responses and long-term measures against air pollution. Officials and experts called for combined efforts by governments, industries and the public to cooperate more efficiently and to jointly solve the problem.

1.In the following statements, which one is NOT TRUE?

3.The most effective way to solve the problem of air pollution is to _______.

A. take some measures of treating the symptom merely

B. unite the power of governments, industries and the public

C. provide free face masks to those in need

D. inform tourists of the weather conditions at their destinations

symptom rather than the disease itself” in the last paragraph?
