Air pollution
People nowadays have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car. One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute. That is what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this filed has been slow. Another way is to take the place of the car engine something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.
Mini-lecture
If you are a college student in the United States, you are most likely to live in dorms. You don’t have a lot of choice when it comes to where you’re going to live. You will probably be asked to fill out a form indicating your housing choices. You can list your ideal dorms on campus (If you’ve visited or done some research), but there's no guarantee that you’ll end up there. Here are a few examples of the different types of college dorms or living arrangements you might encounter. The first type is all first year. Some dorms are set aside for first-year students only. The benefit is no upperclassmen ticked off by all the noise and chaos and you get to meet first-year students who share the similar experiences and feelings as you do everyday.
The second type is single gender. There tend to be fewer all-male dorms than all-female. The disadvantage of a single-gender dorm is the fun factor. It’s simply more exciting to be in a coed dorm. Also. Coed dorms eliminate the mystique of the opposite sex. When you’re l iving with both guys and girls, everyone becomes just another person in the hallway.
Unlike single gender for the whole building, single-gender floors are coed, but split the girls and boys up by floor. Depending on dorm rules, you may or may not be able to mix after certain hours.
Then there is coed by room. Many dorms are coed by room girls and boys sharing walls but not rooms. Exciting at first, yes. However, this excitement can quickly turn sour when romantic relationships in the dorm go bad.
The quiet-floor dorms set aside quiet floors where it’s easier to study. The fear is often that the resident on these floors are uptight and won’t party, but that’s not always the case. They just don’t want the party in their faces. However, quiet is relative to t he listener, and many people will find these floors noisy, especially if the rules aren’t well enforced.
Special focus. Some campuses offer special dorm floors, such as those for students with an interest in majoring in music or languages, or are dedicated to earning academic honors. International dorms. Some college have dorms specially for students from other countries. Domestic students are allowed to live in these dorms too, but priority is given to those students coming from abroad.
These are the most common types of dorm in American colleges or universities, and there are usually different rules in different dorms. But here are some common dorm rules that many colleges have.
First, no alcohol. As is stated by the US law, the minimum legal drinking age is 21 and so it is illegal for anyone to drink alcohol under the age of 21. some dorms allow students who are over 21 to have alcohol in their rooms. At a first year, you are probably not over 21.
Second, no fire hazards. These include candles, cigarettes, portable heating units, and sometimes irons. Some dorms still have smoking rooms, but this is becoming less common.
Third, no unruly conduct. In other words, no fighting, destroying dorm property, setting off fire alarms… you get the idea.
No appliances. Some dorms have rules about what kinds of kitchen items you can bring. Some only allow low-wattage microwaves and coffeemakers, and others don’t allow anything, not even a little fridge. Check with your dorm before you bring any appliances.
No loud music or voices at night. Quiet hours generally start at 10 or 11 p.m. No loud music or voices after this time.
Conversation 1
M: Tina, I’m reading an article and just run across a term “the Greek System”. What is that?
W: Oh, the Greek System is a very unique part of American college education. Most American colleges have these students organizations on campus. A boy’s group is called a fraternity which means brotherhood, and a girl’s groups is called a sorority. These fraternities and sororities have the ir own houses on campus. Collectively, these groups are called the “Greek System,” because each house is named after two or three letters of the Greek alphabet.
M: So they are student organizations. What do they do?
W: Well, there are different kinds of them. There are social Greek organizations, as well as those dedicated to a particular profession, such as medicine, law, engineering, or journalism. Also. Greek organization do a lot of community service: they raise money for charities, volunteer in soup kitchens and for other community organizations, and organize food drives on campus.
M: Hmm I see. Why do students join these groups?
W: There are many reasons to go Greek, “to go Greek” means to join a fraternity or sorority. For example, statistics show that there is a lower dropout rate among Greek students than non-Greek students. Also, once you join the Greek system, you immediately become part of a big community. There are lot of events offering you leadership opportunities, which will serve you well later in life. The community service will also add credits to your resume. These events are great resume builders, and employers see participation in Greek organization as a plus. Among other things, it means that you have some measure of discipline and that you managed to maintain decent grades in college despite your extracurricular commitments. There is established support structure, which helps students when they are going through hard times, including tutoring and academic support, and also networking opportunities after graduation. Besides, there are many parities, sports events, and nice houses with great cooks.
M: Wow, that does sound fun!
W: But of course, there are also reasons not to join a Greek organization. There are dues and fees, which can add to your financial burden. You also may not be the “frat type,” and prefer to go it alone. After all, you’ll be able to find friends even if you don’t join a house. While it can be tough to be an independent on a campus that’s mostly Greek, but there is no obligation to join.
M: I see. Thank you for the explanation.
W: You are very welcome.

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Halloween On October 31st, dozens of children dressed in costumes knock on their neighbo rs’ doors and yell “Trick or Treat” when the door opens. Pirates and princesses, ghosts and popular heroes of the day all hold bags open to catch the candy or other goodies that the neighbors drop in. As they give each child a treat the neighbors exclaim over the costumes and try to guess who is under the masks. Since the 800’s November l st is a religious holiday known as All Saints’ Day. The Mass that was said on this day was called AllHallowmas. The evening before became known as All Hakkiwe’en, or Halloween. Like some other American celebrations, its origins lie in both pre-Christian and Christian customs. October 31st was the eve of the Celtic new year. The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish, Welsh and Scottish people. On this day ghosts walked and mingled with the living, or so the Celts thought. The townspeople baked food all that day and when night fell they dressed up and tried to resemble the souls of the dead. Hoping that the ghosts would leave peacefully before midnight of the new year. Much later, when Christianity spread throughout Ireland and October 31st was no longer the last day of the year, Halloween became a celebration mostly for children. “Ghosts” went from door to door asking for treats, or else a trick would be played on the owners of the house. When millions of Irish people immigrated to the United States in the 1840s the tradition came with them. Today school dances and neighborhood parties called “block parties” are popular among young and old alike. More and more adults celebrate Halloween. They dress up like historical or political figures and go to masquerade parties(化装舞会). In larger cities, costumed children and their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening. Stores and businesses give parties with games and treats for the children. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous the costume the better! Certain pranks (恶作剧) such as soaping car windows and tipping over garbage cans are expected. But partying and pranks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for needy children around the world. Symbols of Halloween Halloween originated as a celebration connected with evil spirits. Witches flying broomsticks with black cats, ghosts, goblins (小精灵) and skeletons have all evolved as symbols of Halloween. They are popular trick-or-treat costumes and decorations for greeting cards and windows. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors, probably because Halloween festivals and traditions took place at night. In

Those who campaign for a green revolution are out to destroy our western lifestyles. Such are the cries of opponents of emissions cuts, and their message has political impact: a number of surveys have found that the enthusiasm of voters for policies to reduce climate change falls off as the price tag increases. However, a new modeling(模型化) exercise suggests that these fears are largely unfounded. It projects that radical cuts to the UK’s emissions will cause barely noticeable increases in the price of food, drink and most other goods by 2050. Electricity and petrol costs will rise significantly, but with the right policies in place, say the modellers, this need not lead to big change in our lifestyle. “These results show that the global project to fight climate change is feasible,” says Alex Bowen, a climate policy expert at the London School of Economics. “It’s not such a big ask as people are making out.” Although it is impossible to precisely predict prices four decrease from now, the exercise is one of the most detailed examinations yet of the impact of climate change policies on UK consumers. It provides a useful rough guide to our economic future. Though its results speak directly to the UK consumers, previous research has come to similar conclusions for the US. In June, one study found that if the US were to cut emissions by 50 per cent by 2050, prices of most consumer goods would increase by less than 5 per cent. The findings are also consistent with analyses by the Pew Center on Global Climate change in Washington DC. “Even cutting emissions by 80 per cent over four decades has a very small effect on consumers in most areas,”says Manik Roy of the Pew Center. “The challenge is now to convince consumers and policy-Makers that this is the case.” The Intergovernmental panel on Climate Change recommends that wealthy nations cut their emissions to between 80 and 95 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050 in order to avoid the 1
