【题目】Although 19-year-old George Dennehy is armless, he isn’t letting that stop him from pursuing (追求)his dreams and sharing his passion(激情) with the world.

Born without arms, the young boy’s birth parents left him. Luckily, a warm-hearted couple adopted him and took good care of him. However, his new parents never allowed him to use his disability as an excuse to be lazy. When George turned eight, they asked him to sign up（报名） for cello（大提琴） lessons. The instrument (乐器)is tough even for people who have the use of both their hands, so it was even more challenging for George, who had to learn to play it with his feet.

Thanks to his music teacher, the young boy not only mastered the cello, but also realized that he had a passion and talent for music. During middle school years, he also mastered the piano and guitar.

His music talent caught the eye of an American rock band who invited him to perform alongside them at a ten-day-long music festival.

The experience has inspired（激励） this once shy boy to pursue a career（事业） in music. He has also become a motivational（励志的） speaker who encourages both able and disabled people to pursue their dreams, no matter how impossible these dreams may sound.

【题目】London used to be “foggy”（ 有雾的） for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today. The “fog” was in fact smog（烟雾）, a mixture of smoke and fog．In other words, it was made by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal（煤）that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city. Within a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.

Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel（燃料）, like gas, is quite expensive.

However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution. As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing than there used to be.

【1】What was the main reason for air pollution in London?
