27、gined for me or my children. We are living in an environmental crisis, an air-pollution emergency of unprecedented severity. What it really means is that just to breathe here is to play a dangerous game with your health. As parents, what terrorizes us most are reports that children are at higher ris
28、k because they breathe more times per minute. What more can we do to protect them and ourselves? Our pediatricians (儿科医师的 ) medical recommendation was simple： abandon the city permanently. We are foreigners and we are among the small minority that can afford to leave. We are here because of my husba
29、nds work. We are fascinated by Mexico its history and rich culture. We know that for us, this is a temporary danger. However, we cannot stand for much longer the fear we feel for our boys.

So when things get bad, as in the current emergency, Mexico takes half me
33、asures prohibiting some more cars from circulating, stopping some factories from producing that even its own officials concede (承认 ) arent adequate. The word “emergency“ implies the unusual. But when daily life itself is an emergency, the concept loses its meaning. It is human nature to try to adapt
34、 to that which we cannot change. Or to mislead ourselves into believing we can adapt. 31 According to the passage, the current emergency in Mexico City refers to_. （ A） serious air pollution （ B） economic crisis （ C） unemployment （ D） natural disaster 32 Which of the following statements is NOT true

48、ere to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely. But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-
49、respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer?
