As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good meal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion. You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, anticipate your travel needs as a business woman; this starts with light weight luggage which you can easily manage ever when fully packed. Take a folding case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip!

Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow” from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow.
So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸旳）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases.
Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility（视线）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals we are apt (易于旳) to take into our bodies from air, water, food，and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers.
Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀） our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control.

B) engines may fail from dirt D) it brings a lot of black snow

A) some factories should be forced to stop operating
B) buildings should be protected
C) more trees should be planted in cities
D) more money should be spent in solving the problem
50. We can conclude that .

Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his / her intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he / she reaches those limits will depend on his / her environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

A) birth
B) education
C) both birth and environment

A) not become a genius
B) still become a genius if he is given special education
C) exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundings

53. In the 2nd paragraph, “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population” means “if we ”.
A) pick any two persons
B) choose two persons who are relatives
C) take out two different persons
D) choose two persons with different intelligence
54. The example of the twins in the 3rd paragraph is used to show .
A) the importance of their intelligence
B) the role of environment on intelligence
C) the importance of their social positions
D) the part that birth plays
55. The best title for this passage would be .
A) Surroundings
B) Intelligence
C) Dependence on Environment
