And, while premature deaths due to pollution in the US.and Europe have declined in recent decades, cities in the West have still taken steps to reduce pollution.Air pollution kills more than 200,000 in Europe and nearly 80,000 in the US.each year, according to the research.The benefits of addressing air pollution extend beyond the people who experience the health effects of poor air directly. “One of the unique things about air pollution is that you cant run, you cant hide from it, ” said study researcher Michael Brauer, a professor at the University of British Columbia, in a video acpanying the presentation. “But we know that if you improve air quality, everybody benefits from it.” 【解题导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。户外的空气污染导致人口死亡率不断增长, 很多国家已经采取相应措施来减少空气污染。1What has changed under the new policies in China?

Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters.The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep(陡的) stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or e down.Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a man entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase(楼梯). I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept ing down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back, thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.Such well mannered people are hard to find these days when pushing is very mon in our advanced but aggressive society.
