Hu Li's heart sank due to the color of the air.Driving 140 kilometers from Tianjin City to Beijing last week，she held her breath as the air became a charcoal grey haze(炭灰色的阴霾)．The 39yearold businesswoman has lived in Beijing for a decade，and this past month，she said，brought the worst air pollution she has ever seen.It gave her husband a cough and left her sevenyearold daughter housebound(足不出户)．“My husband as well as I is working here，so we have no choice，” she said.“But if we had a choice，we'd like to escape from Beijing.”
The extended heavy pollution over the last month，which caused punishment in return for a day last week－called the “airpocalypse” by internet users－ has largely changed the way that Chinese think about the country's air.On one day，pollution levels were 30 times higher than levels considered safe by the World Health Organization (WHO)．Flights were cancelled.Roads were closed.One hospital in east Beijing reported they had treated more than 900 children for breathing issues.Bloomberg found that for most of January，Beijing's air was worse than that of an airport smoking area.
The smog's(烟雾) most threatening aspect is its high concentration(浓度) of PM 2.5 － particulate matter that is small enough to breathe deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream，causing breathing infections，lung cancer and possibly damaging children's development.The WHO has estimated that outdoor air pollution accounts for two million deaths per year，65% of them in Asia.Which conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?
| A．Hu Li is living in Beijing. |
| B．Hu Li traveled to Tianjin for business. |
| C．The haze is harmful to people. |
| D．The pollution is the worst in Beijing's history. |
The haze affected people mainly in________．
| A．the way they traveled |
| B．the opinion about national air |
| C．the way they lived their life |

| A．can lead to choke |

What's the best title for the passage?
| A．Hu Li's attitudes to Beijing's haze |
| B．The damages of Beijing's haze |

| D．What caused air pollution in Beijing |
The phenomenon is becoming more and more popular that human beings have developed a closely relationship with the most dangerous of animals－Kevin Richardson treats lions like kitty cats，Andre Hartman has a special bond with Great White Sharks and now there is 79year old Werner Freund who has spent the last 40 years of his life in the company of wolves.
While details about how and why the former paratrooper(伞兵) became attached to these beautiful wild animals are a little summary，he has been tending them in his 25acre Wolvespark located in the German province of Saarland，since 1972.While he currently has a group of 29，over the years he has raised almost 70 wolves belonging to all breeds(种属) ranging from Siberian to Arctic，Canadian，European and even，Mongolian.The wolves treat Werner as if he were one of their own.They nuzzle(依偎) against him，play with him and are generally sheeplike when he is around，just like they would be around a head wolf!
This，however，is not accidental－It is a position that Werner works on establishing and maintaining with a simple act，every single day－Whenever it's feeding time，he calls his wolves to come for the raw meat by howling.As the hungry animals rush to get their food，they are always met with this scene－Werner sinking his teeth into the raw meat first.While this may sound a little rude，that is how the position of hierarchy(等级) is established in the animal world.It is always the leader male that gets the first meal and only when he signals，can the rest join in.Werner's wolves know this rule quite well and never challenge his authority.
While wolves，the largest member of the dog family，are believed to be dangerous，they rarely attack humans.Werner says that in reality，they are beautiful gentle souls，whose reputation has been tarnished，by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood!We can know________from the first paragraph.
| A．all lions like Kevin Richardson |

What's the best title of the passage?

| C．Werner Freund treats his wolves like friends |
| D．Exparatrooper shares special bond with wolves |

When Werner Freund feeds his wolves，________．

| B．he bites the meat firstly |
| C．wolves challenge his authority |
