Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had ―black snow‖ from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem.
Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory (呼吸的) diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases.
Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility (视线). There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don‘t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that we don‘t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals we are apt (易于的) to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers.
Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes (腐蚀) our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control.

Depression isn‘t just feeling down. It‘s a real illness with real cause. Depression can be set off by stressful life events, like divorce or a death in the family. Or it can appear suddenly, for no apparent reason.
Some people think you can try to get yourself out of a depression. That‘s not true. Many doctors believe that one thing that may cause depression is an imbalance of serotonin (血清素) —a chemical in your body. If this happens, you may have trouble sleeping. Feel unusually sad or irritable. Find it hard to concentrate. Lose your appetite. Lack energy. Or have trouble feeling pleasure. These are some of the symptoms (症状) that can point to depression—especially if they last for more than a couple of weeks.
To help fight depression, the medicine doctors now prescribe most often is Prozac. Prozac isn‘t a ―happy pill‖. It won‘t turn you into a different person.
Some people do experience mild side effects, like upset stomach, headaches, difficulty sleeping, anxiety and nervousness. These tend to go away within a few weeks of starting treatment, and usually aren‘t serious enough to make most people stop taking it. However, if you are concerned about a side effect, or if you develop a rash (皮疹),tell your doctor right away. And don‘t forget to tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking.
Prozac has been carefully studied for nearly 10 years. But remember, Prozac is a prescription medicine, and it isn‘t right for everyone. Only your doctor can decide if Prozac is right for you.
Prozac has been prescribed for more than 17 million Americans. 41. Some people think depression is _______.
A. a mental state that can be overcome without medicine B. an illness that no medicine can cure
C. an experience everyone has in his life time
D. something you can avoid by leading a happy life
42. What do some doctors think is the real cause for people to feel depressed?
A. Unhappy events happening in one‘s life.
B. A lack of balance of a chemical in one‘s body C. Difficulty in concentrating on something
D. Sad feelings, lacking energy and eating disorder. 43. What does the phrase ―set off‖ (Line 2, Para.1) mean?
A. start B. develop C. take off D. put on 44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Prozac is a medicine prescribed occasionally by doctors. B. When taking Prozac few people can have a side effect..
C. Prozac can help one fight depression, but it doesn‘t suit everyone. D. Only a small number of Americans have taken Prozac in recent years. 45. We can learn from the passage that one can _______.
A. take Prozac only after he asks the doctor
B. decide whether Prozac is right for him or not
47
C. also treat other mental diseases with Prozac D. buy Prozac directly from a drug store Task 3

An abbreviation (缩写词) can be defined an a shortened form of a word or term. Abbreviations are an attempt to communicate information fast and accurately. But this goal is not always achieved. To many people, particularly to those new to a field, reports and papers sometimes seem to be written in a telegraphic style with abbreviations so interspersed (夹杂) as to make the message almost meaningless. Frequently it is necessary to search through several reference books to find the exact word or phrase represented by an abbreviation. Owing to the lack of a comprehensive dictionary of abbreviations and the divers definitions of abbreviations among subject areas, it is common practice in most scholarly publication to include in the introductory text or in an appendix (附录) at the end of the book a list of the abbreviations used.
Another method is to explain the abbreviations to the reader the first time it appears.
Librarians, like everyone else, tend to use abbreviations to save space and time and to eliminate the necessity of repeating words or phrases that are long and complicated. In the library and information science field, abbreviations are used primarily for magazine and book titles, names of organizations, corporate author entries, names of computer programs, and publishers‘ names.
