30、ollution cuts off views of the surrounding mountains. On one famous occasion it got so bad that birds fell dead out of the sky on to the Zocalo, the citys main square. Throughout the developing world, smogs in many big cities are getting worse as more people use cars and more manufacturing firms are

31、 belching out (喷出 ) pollution. Congestion is on the rise, too- according to one estimate, a car in Bangkok now spends the equivalent of 40 days a year stuck in traffic. The air in Asias cities, like the water in its rivers, is particularly unhealthy, containing levels of dust and smoke several times

32、 higher than in the rich countries cities. Environmentalists in the developed world also worry about air pollution in poorer countries, not just out of the goodness of their hearts but because they fear it may affect their own backyard.

But the harm that air pollution causes in the developing countries themselves is much more serious and imm

34、ediate. The biggest concern are indoor air pollution, lead emissions and small particles.

35、dues and dung, which are often burnt in poorly designed stoves within ill-ventilated (通风很差的 ) huts. Studies of women in India and Nepal exposed to smoke from such fuels show that their death rates from chronic respiratory disease are similar to those of heavy smokers. Lead has long been known to be

36、dangerous in large doses. But only since the 1970s have scientists been aware that relatively small quantities of lead in the bloodstream can be harmful to humans. In particular, many studies show a correlation between levels of lead in childrens blood and lower IQ scores, hearing loss and hyperacti

37、vity (活动过度 ). But the kind of air pollution thought to cause the most damage to human health in developing countries is that from small particles. Caused by vehicle exhausts, coal-burning smoke from factories and dust stirred up by vehicles, these particles easily find their way into peoples lungs.

43、r themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends“ to be just social acquaintances. This a

44、ttitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to “compartmentalize“ (划分 ) friendships, having “friends at work“, “friends on the softball team“, “family friends“, etc. Because the United States is a high

45、ly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque (无礼的 ) or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask

46、you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for you. If you do not understand certain American behavior or you want to know m

47、ore about them, do not hesitate to ask them questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American“ in which you may be interested. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesnt matter, because Americans tend to be unco

48、mfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence. On the other hand, dont expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve

49、 the United States.
