Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾).
Many countries are making rules to flight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, and they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air.

25、 Want to say “hello” to the persons you love? Send a postcard! Beautiful scenes, wild animals, silly pictures—you can find them all in one place. Where? On a postcard.
Have people always sent postcards? No. Before postcards, people liked to send sealed (密封的) letters. The idea for the first decorated postcard appeared in 1861. Sending a simple postcard with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the early days, postcards with pictures appeared. According to the law, people had to write their notes on the front—on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back postcard. Then people could write their notes on the back left side and put the address on the right, the front is for pictures. During the early 1900s, the golden age of postcards, picture postcards became popular around the world. In 1908, Americans alone sent over 677 million postcards. Today, postcards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins. And more and more people send emails to their loved ones on Internet.

26、The siesta competition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers, screaming babies, talking voices, and footsteps to take the competitors' attention away from their after-lunch sleeps.
Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five competitors at a time were allowed to take a 20-minute sleep. A doctor tested their pulse (脉搏) to time how long they actually spent on sleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾), sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas. The winners of each round move to the next stage in the competition.
It’s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too, whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep.
The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta competition. They set up the competition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep.
There are really health benefits to a mid-day nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It’s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night's sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with day-to-day life.
【1】The underlined word "siesta" here probably means “___________”.
A.over sleep
B.night sleep
