E. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题):（14分）

More than 200,000 members of Beijing’s driving associations（协会）are being asked to leave their cars at home at least one day a month in the hope of improving air quality in the capital. Their aim is to reduce traffic jams and noise, and improve air quality as well. More than 100 Beijing-based drivers’ clubs started the work on Monday.

“I love driving, but I’m ready to make more blue-sky days in Beijing,” said Lu Chuan, a film director and a former environmental ambassador(大使) who helped raise public awareness of pollution problems in China. Lu said he planned to make improvements to his car to make it more environmentally-friendly. He also plans to ride his bicycle and walk more often in the future

There are more than 2.6 million motor vehicles in Beijing

and the number is increasing by more than 1,000 a day, said

Du Shaozhong, from the Beijing Environmental Protection

Bureau (环保局). Motor vehicle emissions(排放) are the

main cause of Beijing’s air pollution, Du said. Accordi ng to

the city’s environment department research, Beijing’s vehicles give out 3,600 tons of pollution each day.

The “no-car day” activity comes as Beijing tries to achieve 238 “blue-sky days”, or days with

good air quality this year, five days more than last year.

Beijing started the program called “Protecting the Blue Sky” in 1998, when the city had only 100 days of blue sky.

While the city has seen a big increase in the number of blue-sky days by moving chemical factories away from the city, it still faces many difficulties to improve its air quality. Most of them have a lot to do with air pollution caused by motor vehicles.

The city has removed 4,000 old polluting buses and 30,000 polluting taxis from service this year and replaced them with vehicles meeting new, state emission standards (国家排放标准).

The “no-car day” was first introduced by 34 French cities that started the world’s first “no-car day” on September 22, 1998.

99.How often are members of Beijing’s driving associations asked to leave their cars at home?

__________________________.

104.Why has Beijing removed 4,000 old polluting buses and 30,000 polluting taxis this year?

The stories made me fall asleep quickly, and of course brought me into wonderful dreams. Thanks to my mother’s stories, I spend a colorful childhood.
