If you live in the New England region(地区) of the United States, you will pray(祈求) for a storm on a cold winter night before you go to bed. Why? The reason is pretty simple: a big storm means a snow day and a day off! Similar to the snow day, many Chinese students have been given smog days in recent years. They have days off as a result of the smog.
The best thing to do during a smog day is probably stay inside with the air freshener on. However, in the US, kids will happily play in the snow, make a snowman or go sliding (滑动). Adults will have a hot drink in their hands and watch their favorite movies on TV.
The contrast (对比) between snow days and smog days highlights the problem of smog. It seems quite serious in China today. But in fact, the air condition in some developed countries was not much better in the mid-20th century.
Because of the smog, the rate of asthma (哮喘) in Los Angeles, US, was twice as high as that in the surrounding regions in the 1940s. More than 4,000 people died within six days in London, UK, in 1952. It took thirty to fifty years on average to deal with the smog and bring back the clear blue sky in those big cities.
It will be a long and tough process to solve the smog problem in China. We need to be patient and have confidence in our government. We can also take some simple steps in our daily life to help improve our environment.
31. If it‘s a snow day on weekdays, students in the New England region will
A. only study in their classroom C. have a day off school
B. stay in bed the whole day D. stay with their parents
.
32. What does the underlined word ―highlights‖ in the third paragraph mean?

A. The air problem used to cause great problems in some developed countries. B. How developed countries dealt with air problems in the mid-20th century. C. Developed countries can teach us to solve the smog problem in China. D. It‘s the government‘s duty to improve our environment in China.

You might expect native English speakers to be the best at speaking the English language. But some experts believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English, non-native English speakers are actually better at it.
―Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understanding each other. And then suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them,‖ Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based communications culture expert, told the BBC.
Chong said that happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. ―English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, use jokes, slang (俚语) and make references (引用材料) to their country that others might not understand,‖ Chong said.
It is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese colleagues (同事). I am careful to speak slowly and use words I know they will understand. Sometimes we confuse each other though. Once I told my colleague ―no dramas‖, which means ―no problem‖. She thought I was calling her a drama queen (咋呼女王), though, and got upset!
But don‘t worry. Experts say that it is the native speaker‘s fault if they can‘t understand you, not
