In common with countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than

4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.

Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.

Part of the problem is the new ‘out of town' shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or want by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping. Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about ￡100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over ￡1.00.

Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

【答案】46. Problems 47. Results 48. past 49. from 50. Over 51. introduced 52. cars 53. died 54. cheaper 55. together

In 1901, Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian scientist, discovered that there are four types of blood. These four blood types were named A, B, AB, and O. People have one of these four types. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the second most common, and type AB is the least common. If people with A blood are given type B blood, or people with type B blood are given type A blood, they will probably die.

In 1927, a Japanese doctor, Furukawa Takeji, carried out research and came up with the idea

that people with different blood types also had different personalities. He said that people with type A are usually calm and serious; people with type B blood are curious, cheerful, and

outgoing; people with type O blood are generous and honest; while those with type AB blood are caring, original , and careful.

Most recently, a doctor in the United States wrote a book that links blood types and what people eat. For example, his book suggests people with type O blood should eat more meat and less bread. A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables. His book, Eat Right for

How to deal with homesickness

When you sleep somewhere else, like at a summer camp or a friend's house, you know you're there for a fun time. But for some kids, when they are away from home they feel sad. They start to miss their own beds, their own parents, and all the things at home. It's called being homesick (想家的). Do you want to feel less homesick? Here's how:

Spend more time in doing fun things. The more fun things you do, the less time you'll have to

feel homesick. So try to take part in activities an soon you might start to have a good time.

You can make a plan to call your mum or dad. For a night visit, maybe you can call once that night, and again in the morning. In the camp, you might set a regular day and time for a phone call home. You can also send e-mails or short messages to keep in touch (保持联系) with family and friends. If you're going to be away for a while, you might even write a letter! When you get in

touch with someone, make sure to tell them about the fun things you're doing!

Sometimes, just tell someone that you're feeling homesick. This will help you feel better.

Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick. And the two of you can do something fun,

such as telling jokes. If you're at camp, a camp counselor (顾问) would be a good person to talk to.

He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better.

Siri on iphone 4S is like a person assistant. It lets you use

your voice to do things on the iphone. You can just talk to siri as

you talk to a person. Siri understands what you say, knows what

you mean, and even talks back.

Say something like “Tell my wife I'm running late.”

“Remind me to call the doctor.”“Any fast food restaurants around

here?”Siri does what you say, finds the information you need,

then answers you. It's like you're having a conversation with your

assistant.

Siri not only understands what you say, but it's also smart enough to know what you mean,

So when you ask, “Any fast food restaurants around here?”Siri will reply, “I found a number of restaurants near you.”Then you can say, “Hmm. How about hamburgers?”Siri remembers that you just asked about restaurants for something to eat, so it will look for KFC restaurants in the neighborhood. And Siri is active, so it will question you until it finds what you're looking for.

When you want to do something, just ask Siri to help you do it. Siri uses almost all the

built-in apps on iphone 4S. It plays the songs you want to hear. It gives you directions and shows you around. It makes calls, plans meetings, helps you remember and wakes you up. In fact, ask Siri what it can do —it even speaks for itself.

Siri is easy to use and does so much. You'll keep finding more and more ways to use it.
