Dust floating over a city at the height of more than 4,000 feet cut between 20 and 50 percent of the sunlight and up to 90 percent of the ultraviolet light. But dust is not the only thing to worry about. When materials for burning are burned, whether in factory or in a house, or in the engine of a car, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are given off. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere prevents loss of heat and keeps warmth, and so raising the temperature of each slowly. This could actually change the climate all over the world. Carbon monoxide is very poisonous and quite small amounts can kill.Everybody wants to have a motor to have a motor car, and sometimes when we are struck in a traffic jam it seems as though everybody has already got one. Unfortunately, while giving us so much pleasure, cars are also poisoning us. The amount of dangerous substances sent out by a car is quite astonishing. Did you know, for example, that a hundred cars can produce a third of ton of carbon monoxide and many other poisonous substances everyday? When you realized that in Great Britain there are over 1,800, 000 motor vehicles, you can see the greatness of the problem.What is the answer then? Scientists are trying to produce a car engine that gives no pollution at all. But what about the millions of cars already in use now? Must they all bethrown away?

During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children ,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more after wads, return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.6. We are told that in an average family about 1990________.A. many children died before they were fiveB. the youngest child would be fifteenC. seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD. four or five children died when they were five7.
