21、Particulate Matter
There are things floating around in the air. Most of them, you can not even see. They are a kind of air pollution called particles or particulate matter. In fact, particulate matter may be the air pollutant that most commonly affects people’s health.
Have a Look.
Particles can come in almost any shape or size, and can be solid particles or liquid droplets.【1】 These two groups differ in many ways. One of the differences is size, we call the bigger particles PM 10 and we call the smaller particles PM 2.5.
BIG.
The big particles are between 2.5 and 10 micrometers (from about 25 to 100 times thinner than a human hair). These particles are called PM 10 (we say ―PM ten, which stands for Particulate Matter up to 10 micrometers in size).【2】
SMALL.
The small particles are smaller than 2.5 micrometers (100 times thinner than a human hair).【3】We say ―PM two point five, as in Particulate Matter up to 2.5 micrometers in size.The smaller particles are lighter and they stay in the air longer and travel farther. PM 10 particles can stay in the air for minutes or hours while PM 2.5 particles can stay in the air for days or weeks.And travel? 【4】 PM 2.5 particles go even farther; many hundreds of miles.
Particulate Matter and Your Health.
When you breathe, you take in the air along with any particles in the air, like heavy metal sand cancer causing organic compounds. Both PM 10 and PM 2.5 particles can cause health problems, specifically respiratory (呼吸的) health.【5】 Exposure to particulate matter leads to increased use of medication and more visits to the doctor or emergency room.
A.These particles are called PM 2.5.
B.We divide particles into two major groups.
C.These particles cause less severe health effects.
D.PM 10 particles can travel as much as 30 miles.
E.Air pollution is a growing problem in the whole world.
F.PM 2.5 can have worse health effects than the bigger PM 10.
G.Air pollutants have great effects on our environment and our health.

23、阅读理解。
There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power．
First, the radioactive (有放射性的) material must travel from its place of production to the power station． Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not． Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail． Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas．
Second, there is the problem of waste． All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years． It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented． For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea． However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers．
Third, there may occur the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power station． As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection (不赞成，反对) to the nuclear program． However, it can happen．
Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry． Taken together, though, the probability of disaster is extremely high．
【1】Which of the following is not true?
A．It is likely that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station．
B．It is not usual for radioactive materials to be conveyed across land．
C．The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake．
D．Nuclear wastes remain risky in most cases for many years．
【2】The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are __________．
A．easy B．impossible
C．reasonable D．ineffective
【3】What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The power station is a place that frees from danger．
B．The dangers of nuclear energy could be prevented．
C．The general public are opposed to the nuclear program．
D．By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to lead to much worry．
【4】What is this passage about?
A．Uses of nuclear power．
B．Dangers from nuclear power．
C．Public anger at nuclear power．
D．Accidents caused by nuclear power．
24、How do I Book a Place on Airbnb?
When you book a place on Airbnb, you’re making arrangements to stay in someone’s home. Each host has their own style of hospitality, starting with how they like to get to know their guests. Some hosts want to approve reservations, while others are comfortable letting you book their place instantly without waiting for approval.
1. Complete Your Personal Details
In either case, it’s important to know that Airbnb is a community that relies on trust. Complete your personal details before you request a reservation with a host, so they can know a little bit about you when they confirm. Your personal details should include photos and verifications (身份证明), especially because some hosts require guests to have a profile photo and verified ID in order to book.
2. Find the Right Place
With over 800,000 unique listings around the world, you’ll want to make sure the place you choose has everything you need for a comfortable and memorable trip. When searching for a place, make sure to include your dates and number of guests to get the most accurate pricing. Read reviews, descriptions, house rules, and facilities for each place to see if it’s the right fit for your trip. You can always contact the host if you have any questions about their home.
3. Book It!
You’ve found the perfect place, and now it’s time to make it official. This is where the host’s preferred way of booking will determine how you’ll confirm your reservation.
● Instant Book
For hosts who don’t want to approve each reservation, you’ll see a button on their listing that says Instant Book. Like the name suggests, you can confirm a reservation at these places right away.
● Request to Book
Many hosts prefer to approve reservations before they’re final. In this case, you’ll see a button on their listing that says Request to Book. To submit a reservation request, you’ll need to enter your payment details. Hosts have 24 hours to accept your request, and your reservation is automatically confirmed once they do.
● Pre-approvals and Special Offers
If you decide to contact the host to ask questions before attempting to book, the host may respond to your message by inviting you to make a reservation with either a Pre-approval or a Special Offer. A Pre-approval is an invitation to finish booking for the dates and number of guests you noted in your message. A Special Offer gives the host the opportunity to provide special pricing, dates, and other reservation details before you book.
【1】When filling in your personal information, you need to ________.
A.request a reservation with a host B.provide your proof of identity
