MISSING SUN
Pollution in many of the world’s cities is
becoming a major health problem. One of
the worst affected is Beijing, the capital of
China. Air quality was dangerously low on
58 days last year. The winter months are
especially bad. 1__ There is also less wind
to blow the smog away. At this time of
year, pollution levels are sometimes 20
times higher than the WHO (World Health
Organization) considers safe. This causes
illnesses and on the worst days old people
and children are advised to stay indoors.
Visibility is sometimes so bad that
motorways have to close because of the
danger of accidents.
In early 2014, some newspapers and
websites showed a frightening vision of
the future. On a smoggy morning,
residents of Beijing watched the sunrise.
2
__ The smog was so thick that the real
sunrise was completely invisible. While
the smog and the masks the people were
wearing were real, the films of the sunrise
were nothing unusual. The screens show
adverts all the time. 3__ The same advert
is shown quite often, whatever the
weather. Either the photographer was
lucky or he knew exactly how the image
would look and waited until he got the
photo he wanted. Although the news
reporting was inaccurate, it might have
done something to raise awareness of
how bad the problem has become.
Politicians, too, have finally decided that
Test
Name: ______________________________________ Class: ____
something must be done to reduce
pollution levels.
The first idea is to reduce the amount of
coal that people use. Factories will also
be moved to areas further away from
cities. 4__ In their place, greener and
cleaner forms of transport will be
encouraged.
Will these changes help? The Chinese
know from experience that it is possible
to improve air quality very quickly if
necessary. Before the 2008 Olympic
Games, pollution in Beijing was reduced
greatly. As well as reducing traffic levels
and closing factories, other methods to
reduce pollution were used. 5__ To help
with this, scientists were even able to
make clouds drop more rain. Since then,
things have got worse rather than better
but, at last, the government seems to be
determined to do something about the
problem. For the people of Beijing and
other large cities this will make a huge
difference to their lives.
A These included pouring water onto
roads to reduce the amount of dust
flying in the air.
B The one that the people were watching
that morning was for a holiday
company.
C These ideas should help to reduce
pollution in the future, which will
improve health standards in major
cities.
D This is the time of year when more coal
is burned to heat people’s homes.
E Another target is older, more polluting
cars. The worst offenders will be
banned.
F However, as the real one was hidden,
they had to do this on giant TV screens.
