　　(2024·湖南省湖中名校聯考)Long-time exposure to air pollution can lead to physical changes in the brain and cause trouble in learning and memory, and even anxiety. This is suggested by the results of new research on mice.

　　While other studies

　　have shown the harmful effects of polluted air on the lungs and heart, this is the first to show the negative effect on the brain.

　　The team of Laura Fonken, Randy Nelson, from the Ohio State University, U．S.A., has spread to the brain a previous line of research which found that fine particulate (微粒) matter floating in the air mainly because of air pollution caused by humans, causes swelling in much of the body, and may be related to high blood pressure problems, and some other diseases.

　　In the research Fonken and his colleagues exposed mice to polluted air for six hours each day, five days a week, over a period of 10 months, almost half the average life length of mice.

　　Polluted air contains fine particles created by cars, factories and natural dust. Fine particles of this kind are tiny, about 2.5 micrometers in diameter, or about one-thirtieth the width of a human hair.

　　These particles can go deep into lungs and other organs.

　　The concentration of this particulate material to which they exposed mice is equal to the concentration at which people can be exposed in some polluted urban areas.

　　After a period of 10 months, the researchers got the animals to have a series of behavioral tests. Both the behavior of mice and the results of neurological (神經的) tests done to them show that those within the polluted air had more problems in learning and memory, and higher levels of anxiety.

　　The results suggest that long-time exposure to polluted air can have measurable negative effects on the human brain and can cause a variety of mental health problems. This could have important consequences for those living and working in polluted urban areas.

　　1．What harmful effect of polluted air is mentioned in other studies?

　　A．The harmful effect on learning.

　　B．The harmful effect on all the organs.

　　C．The harmful effect on lungs and heart.

　　D．The harmful effect on improving memory.

　　2．The bad effects of tiny particles in polluted air are those EXCEPT ________．

　　A．high

　　blood pressure problems

　　B．making human hair thinner

　　C．different kinds of diseases

　　D．swelling in much of the body

　　3．From the last sentence we can infer that people living in polluted urban areas ________．

　　A．are likely to suffer from mental problems

　　B．can measure the negative effect on them

　　C．show little concern for air pollution

　　D．can be exposed to polluted air longer

　　4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

　　A．Long-time Exposure to Air Pollution

　　B．Evidence and Concern of Air Pollution

　　C．Measurable Effect on Human Brain

　　D．Mental Problems Caused by Air Pollution

From the card I know something about an owner, including her phone number. I realized I could get in touch the owner. So I called the owner, told her about the matter. Then I waited at the bus stop. It was not long after the owner arrived, and I gave the bag to her. So exciting and thankful to me was the owner that she took out some money to reward me, and I politely refused it.
