I help to assess pollution levels in Beijing. My office is very near to

7、Xizhimen, which is a little ironic as that area has one of the highest levels of pollution in Beijing. It was recommended to me by a professor at university. I had done some research on pollution levels whilst at university and he thought it might be something that would interest me. Generally, I li

8、ke it. Its not very stressful and I like my colleagues. Most of the work is routine, so it can get a little boring. After three years, Im beginning to think that I need a change. For me, the most interesting thing is measuring pollution levels and comparing them to the data we collected on other day

9、s. It might not sound too interesting to other people, but I enjoy it. Animals I have a pet rabbit. My friends often joke about when Ill finally to cook it for dinner. Of course, I have no intention of doing that! I call him Fluffy, because I heard that it is quite a common name for a rabbit. I feed

10、 him fruit and vegetables and sometimes get him some grass, though he doesnt seem to like that too much. A lot of people keep dogs and some people prefer cats. I often see people outside, walking their dogs, but of course, Ive never seen anyone walking a cat! Other people keep fish in an aquarium. S

11、ome children keep mice or hamsters. Yes. We have plenty of laws to protect wild animals, but they are not always enforced properly. People occasionally kill wild animals for their fur, to eat, or to use in medicine. If they are caught, they can be punished very harshly, but that doesnt often happen.

12、 I go once or twice a year with my nephew. Like most kids, he likes watching the animals and sometimes tries to copy them. I think hes best at copying monkeys! Zoos are useful for teaching people, especially kids, about wild animals, but often the conditions are not very good. I like tigers. In Chin

13、a, we call this animal the king of animals and we believe that it has special powers. Unfortunately, thats why a few people hunt them. I like the way they move and their fur looks very smooth, though Ive never actually touched one. No, although Im not sure Id like to be in the sea with a shark or in

14、 a cage with a tiger! I mean, tigers are my favourite animal, but I know how dangerous they can be if they are hungry or if they feel threatened. Birthdays People usually have a party with their family perhaps with their friends if they live in a different city to their family, like I do. The kind o

15、f party depends on the age of the person. Children have some friends join them at home. Adults prefer a meal at a nice restaurant. A birthday cake is common, but not everybody likes sweet things so much. The children often have a party at home whereas the adults go out to an expensive restaurant. We

16、 tend to spend a lot of money on birthdays in my family. I think my 21st birthday was the best one. I was still at university and my friends planned a party for me in our dormitory. Afterwards, we went out to a bar nearby. It was quite interesting because there was a group of girls at the bar, also

17、celebrating a birthday, so we spent the evening with them. 2 【正确答案】 I read a news story recently about climate change and how it could affect the world. I read it online, but I cant remember exactly where. The article looked at the causes of climate change first of all, focussing on greenhouse gases

18、 that could cause the world to get warmer over time. Then, the article moved on to examine the different ways in which this problem could be solved. Many of the methods focussed on how people could reduce their consumption of fuels like oil and coal, which are the main causes of the problem. These s

19、uggestions ranged from switching to more energy efficient light bulbs through using public transport rather than cars, to persuading the government to invest more in alternative fuels. I found the article interesting because it is connected to my work. I should also say that the article was in Engli

20、sh, so it helped me to learn some useful new vocabulary. 3 【正确答案】 I think that most people buy a daily newspaper to get the news. A lot of people also watch the news in the evening on TV. Many people get the local news either from a local newspaper or from the radio. The radio is especially popular

21、with people who want to get traffic news, so you can often find people listening to the radio in their cars. If a person has a computer in their office, they probably read some news on the web. TV is much faster and also sometimes shows live stories. Both TV and newspapers use experts to discuss iss

22、ues, but on TV they usually only have a few minutes to summarise a situation or argument. Newspapers can deal with issues in more depth. Many people in my country see certain newspapers as being more reliable than the TV news. Another thing to remember is that newspapers can be read almost anywhere,

23、 at anytime. I think that quality newspapers are generally reliable. They look at news stories in depth and from different angles. Some people say that TV is more reliable because you can see a situation. The problem is that you only get to see a limited amount of footage. I think that the Internet

24、is the least reliable became often there is no control over what is posted on it. A good journalist or reporter should be independent. I mean that they should present both sides of a story. They also need to be observant, noticing things that other people might not see. Most of all, a good journalis

25、t or reporter needs to be inquisitive. They need to be able to continue investigating good stories. I almost forgot to mention something else-a journalist or reporter should be good with words. I think we will see more and more people using the Internet, especially as hand-held devices become more popular. I think that TV will continue to be popular, but the future seems less certain for newspapers. My guess is that they will survive online, but that there may be fewer printed newspapers.
