A recently study found people’s lives are made shorter in North China．It shows the life expectancy (平均寿命) has been cut down by 5．5 years there．Researchers think that the heavy air pollution in China should be to blame (承担责任)．It’s really the truth．Our
government has already done something．However，it doesn’t seem to work so well．
“Air pollution in China is doing harm to people’s health．The harm i s much more serious than we can imagine，”said Chen Yuyu of Beijing University，one of researchers of this study．
Dirty air brings serious problems in North China．In January this year，the air pollution
was worse than that in other places．That was caused by rising temperature and waste gas
from coal heating．
Chinese government should strongly fight against air pollution．They should think of
more proper ways to deal with the problem．People should be encouraged to take buses，ride bicycles or walk，instead of driving cars．The factories that pollute heavily should be closed．
“We need to improve our environment，although it might be expensive．Protecting our
environment means protecting ourselves，” Li Hongbin，another researcher of the study said．

Why are your study habits different from your friends? Why do you seem to learn faster in some classes while more slowly in others? One reason you may not know is that people have different types．Scientists say there are three different learning types：Visual (视觉型)，Auditory (听觉型)，and Kinesthetic (动觉型)．
Visual learners learn best by seeing．If you seem to easily remember information from
pictures，graphs (图表)，and videos，you are probably a visual learner．You’re not good at
copying down what the teacher says in class．Never mind．You can draw graphs or pictures
instead，if you find that works better for you．
Auditory learners learn best by hearing．If you seem to easily remember things by hearing them，then you are probably an auditory learner．You must listen carefully while the
teacher is speaking because it’s the easiest way for you to learn．Sometimes you may find that taking notes stops you from listening carefully．After class，you can write down what you remember or borrow your friend’s notes to copy．
Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing．If you seem to learn best by working with your hands，you are probably a kinesthetic learner．Taking notes by writing can make you pay close attention to information as you receive it．Of course，you can learn best by making full use of labs or other class activities．
Hope you learn better by knowing what your personal learning type is．
( )29．There are different learning types according t o the passage．
A．two B．three C．four D．five
( )30．Jude can remember the words of a song quickly by listening to it once or twice．
