An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans

to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or

materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits

continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England inthe fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen orsmelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today Astechnology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicalshas increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapormight be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions

Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbonmonoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, theconcentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they

became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification

scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On aglobal basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from humanactivities

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city.

In such a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload thenatural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an increased concentration ofnoxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appearwill be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence

of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be

a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of anincrease this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area

For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million

(ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, has anatural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15ppm

Question 36: An air pollutant is considered a compound added directly or indirectly

by _ to the atmosphere

A people B animals C disasters D the weather Question 37: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A What constitutes an air pollutant B The economic impact of air pollution.

C How much harm air pollutants can cause D The effects of compounds

added to the atmosphere

Question 38: The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in

meaning to _

A admittedly B quickly C considerably D negatively

Question 39: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _

A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas

B the definition of air pollution will continue to change

C most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled

D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities

Question 40:For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an

important role in controlling air pollution?

A They function as part of a purification process.

B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.

C They have existed since the Earth developed

D They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.

Question 41:According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in

localized regions _

A will damage areas outside of the localized regions

B will react harmfully with natural pollutants

C can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants

D can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants

Question 42:According to the passage, the numerical value of the

concentration level of a substance is only useful if _

A the natural level is also known B it can be calculated quickly

C it is in a localized area D the other substances in the area are

known

The setting of the job is one factor to take into account You may not want to sit

at a desk all day If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector,supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office.Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields inconcentrated in certain regions Advertising job can generally be found only in largecities On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, andretail sales are found in all regions of the country

If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages.Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however,pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training,promotions and commission

Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it Some industries evoke

positive or negative associations The traveling life of a flight attendant appearsglamorous, while that of a plumber does not Remember that many jobs are not whatthey appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious.Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumberscan be as highly paid as some doctors Another point to consider is that as youmature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to newopportunities The choice you make today need not be your final one

North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews onlocal television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, theyare not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion First, they reflect theopinions of only those people whc appear at a certain location Thus, such samplescan be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers,depending or which area the newspeople select Second, television interviews tend toattract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten awayothers who may feel intimidated by a camerA A survey must be based on a precise,representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population

In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in thewording of questions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enoughfor people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are noproblems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must becarefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired Surveys can beindispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and thequestions are worded accurately

There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each ofthese forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a highresponse rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for

an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire In addition, an interviewercan go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings andreasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and moreconsistent

A A high number of respondents

B Carefully worded questions

C An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings

D A sociologist who is able to interpret the results

Question 35: According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over

questionnaires is that live interviews ……

C are easier to interpret D minimize the influence of the researcher

Question 36: It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with questionnaires is that…

A respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Telecommuting is a form of computer communication between employees’ homesand offices For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor

If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed,employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers

A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 milliontelecommuters But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does notappear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The PortableExecutive” as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn’t telecommuting become

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance onthe part of many managers These executives claim that supervising thetelecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too

difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby

complicating the manager’s responsibilities

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting arereluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regularinteraction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the sameconsideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Somepeople feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, theynever really get away from the office

Question 38: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?

A More than predicted in Business Week. B More than 8 million
