A woman wears a face mask to protect her from polluted air in Lanzhou, China, in December.
A new study showed air pollution might put people more at risk for heart disease than scientists had thought. Kristin Miller, a doctoral student at the University of Washington, said chances of getting the disease were related to not only which city a woman lived in, but also where in the city. The study found that the effects of air pollution were often larger within cities than between cities.
The new findings make experts suspect that current pollution limits may be inadequate. Scientists examined rates of heart attack, stroke (中风) and other cardiovascular (心脏血管的) events in women with long-term exposure to air pollution.
The study involved women over the age of fifty who had no sign of cardiovascular disease at the start of the research. The study followed the women for as long as nine years to see how they would develop cardiovascular problems.
The researchers also examined levels of fine particles (粒子，微粒) in the air in 36 areas across the country. That information came from the Environmental Protection Agency. The extremely small particles came from industrial smoke and traffic, along with things like wood-burning fireplaces in houses.
In the study, every ten-microgram increase in pollution was linked to a twenty-four percent increase in the risk of a cardiovascular event. But it was related to a seventy-six percent increase in the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
But just how do particles in the air damage the cardiovascular system? The particles may cause the lungs to swell and release chemicals from the pollutants into the blood. The chemicals then could damage the heart.
1.The passage mainly talks about______.
A. the effects of pollution on women
B. how to protect women from air pollution
C. how air pollution damages a person’s heart
D. the relationship between air pollution and heart diseases
2.The case of the woman wearing a face mask shows ______.
A. people are paying more and more attention to their health
B. the woman is afraid of getting heart disease
C. Lanzhou city is more heavily polluted than other cities
D. air pollution is becoming more and more serious
3.We can learn from the passage that _______.
A. air pollution is more serious than scientists thought
B. the control of air pollution is effective in some cities
C. people throughout a city have the same risk of getting heart diseases
D. air pollution affects women more than men
4.The study implies that ______.
A. air pollution has a bigger effect on older women than younger women
B. small particles in the air mainly come from industrial smoke
C. the rise in air pollution may lead to a higher death rate from cardiovascular disease
D. air pollution has been affecting people for as long as nine years in the city of Lanzhou

When you enter a crowded room or go on a picnic or to a party, who is the most attractive and appealing person? It is the person who is cheerful, has a smiling face and behaves as if he or she is enjoying every moment of the event! Such people have an optimistic opinion on life. They are the ones with a positive attitude. On the other hand, let’s see that fellow in the corner with a long face. He is most probably thinking about the time and money wasted in having fun. He is a pessimist, one with a negative attitude.
A person with a positive attitude gets on well with the job at hand. He doesn’t worry about what’s gone before or what might happen in the future. If there is a problem, he quickly thinks of ways to solve it. If the problem cannot be solved singly, he seeks help from someone else. He doesn’t feel that it’s beneath his dignity to seek assistance.
When Sonal lost her history notes days before an important examination, she sat down and cried. Then she pulled herself together, borrowed a friend’s notes, worked day and night and managed to copy down whatever she had lost. Sonal passed the exam with flying colors.
It’s just not possible, even for the greatest optimist, to smile all the time and feel good all day. Everyone has a period of blues now and then, when everything seems sad and without cheer. But once you develop a positive attitude, once you realize that life is a series of ups and downs, dark clouds and bright sunshine, in no time at all, you’ve bounced back, ready to welcome the world again with open arms and a huge smile! So from this moment on, keep your face to the sunshine and you’ll never see the shadows.
