4.Around 200 people who thought their only experience of the London 2012 Olympic Games would be minor heats of synchronized swimming (花样游泳) have received an unexpected hange to the men's 100m final because of an embarrassing ticketing mistake.
The London 2012 Organising Committee (Locog) confirmed on Wednesday that an error n its ticket selling had led to four synchronised swimming competitions being oversold by 10,000 tickets.
Locog and its ticket agent spent the Christmas period contacting ticket holders and offering them alternatives that included the tickets they had applied for but unsuccessful.The hanges need no additional cost.It has also offered to return any discrepancy (差额) if the n ew tickets cost less than the originals.Locog said the replacement tickets would come from a number of unsold seats across the Olympic Games and itwas doing all it could to make up the error to the fans who bought tickets.
Locog said the error occurred in the summer,between the first and second round of ticket sales,when a member of staff made a mistake,entering"20,000"into the computer rather than the correct figure of 10,000 remaining tickets.The error was discovered when Locog checked the number of tickets that had been sold against the final seating numbers,and began contacting ticket holders before Christmas.
Thousands of ticket holders have already struck lucky,changing to tickets for major events including swimming and athletics finals,and in around 200 cases the hottest of all,the men's 100m final.Locog said the decision to award 100m final tickets was made because one of the synchronised swimming competitions was on the same afternoon as the event,August 5.

19.Leaders of the World Health Organization say they are concerned about the air quality and health efiects on citizens during a recent outbreak of heavy pollution in Beijing.Still,they said they were unsure of the exact amount the air pollution takes on any person's body,casting doubts on local reports tying the area's dirty air to particular cases of illness.
   Speaking at a briefing(情况介绍会)on Tuesday,the WHO's Western Pacific regional director,Shin Young-Soo,cited(列举)reports about poor air quality causing lung cancer in recent weeks.
"The WHO is skeptical of the information,"she said."We're cautious of whether the illness is related to air po11ution.We know it has an impact on health,but we don't know how much."
    The officials didn't cite particular reports.The comments follow a number of articles since late last year connecting some cases of diseases like lung cancer with pollution,.including one in November regarding an 8-year-old girl.
   The health impact of Beijing's gray skies has been on the minds of many over the past week.Local authorities on Tuesday preserved an orange alert(警报)一the city's second highest pollution-warning level-and again warned people to stay indoors.Experts widely agree that small particulates(颗粒) known as PM2.5 carry significant short-and long-term health risks,particularly with children.Other studies find a certain link between pollution and shorter life spans.
Chinese state media have noted a rise in cancer levels in Beijing,without specifying(具体说明)whether the new cases are the main result of pollution,smoking,other sources or some combination.
Bernhard Schwartlander,the organization's China chief,said he is concerned and has been in contact with national authorities."There is no easy solution,"Dr.Schwartlainder said,adding that solving the problem requires managing industry and the economy.WHO leaders advised citizens.to stay indoors and limit exposure to the harmful particulates.When asked if wearing a face mask has any proven efficacy in preventing health effects of air pollution,Dr.Schwartlainder said,"Whatever you do,it's better than nothing."

68.We can learn from the passage thatA.
