Part One: Reading
A/Comprehension:(05pts)
Read the text carefully then do the activities.

Air pollution is made up of many kinds of gases and particles that reduce the quantity of clean air in both the
city and the countryside.

In the city, cars, buses, and airplanes, as well as factories cause pollution. They swallow oxygen from the air,
rivers and seas and poison the air we breathe with Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Air pollution can irritate the eyes,
throat and lungs. Burning eyes, cough, skin cancer and chest tightness are common with exposure to high levels
of air pollution.

People react very differently to pollution; some people may notice chest tightness, or cough, while others may
not notice any effect. People with heart disease, such as Angina or with lung disease, such as Asthma or
Emphysema, may be very sensitive to air pollution exposure and may notice symptoms when others do not.
Children probably feel the effects of lower levels of pollution more than adults. They also experience more
illnesses, such as Bronchitis and Earaches, in areas with cleaner air.
