Petitions
Petitions（请愿／书）have long been a part of British political life. Anyone who wanted to change something would get a list of signatures from people who agreed to the idea and either send them to the government or deliver them personally to the Prime Minister's house in London.
They are always accepted at the door by one of the PM'S officials. What happens then? Nothing much, usually. But petitions have always been thought of as a useful way for those who govern to find out what the people really think.
That's why the UK government launched its “e-petition” site in November 2006. Instead of physically collecting signatures, all anyone with an idea has to do now is to make a proposal on the government website, and anyone who supports the idea is free to add his or her signature.
The petitions soon started to flow in. The idea was for the British people to express their constructive ideas. Many chose instead to express their sense of humor.
One petitioner called on Tony Blair to “stop the Deputy Prime Minister eating so much”. Another wanted to expel（驱逐）Scotland from the United Kingdom because Scottish football fans never support England in the World Cup.
Other petitioners called on the Prime Minister to abolish the monarchy. Some wanted to give it more power. Some wanted to oppose the United States. Others wanted to leave the European Union. Some wanted to send more troops to Iraq and others wanted them all brought home. Some wanted to adopt the euro（欧元）. Others wanted to keep the pound.
Yet if some petitions are not serious, others present a direct challenge to government policy. A petition calling on the government to drop plans to charge drivers for using roads has already drawn around l.8 million signatures. In response to that, a rival petition has been posted in support of road pricing. And that is also rapidly growing.
There are about 60 million people in Britain, so it is understandable that the government wants to find out what people are thinking. But the problem with the e-petition site seems to be that the British people have about 70 million opinions, and want the Prime Minister to hear all of them. Perhaps he could start a petition asking everyone to just shut up for a while.
16 A petition needs to be signed.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 The Prime Minister reads petitions every day.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 A petition has to be mailed to the Prime Minister's house in London.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
19 Petitions have been taken to be one of the ways for the British people to express their ideas.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
20 No other governments have launched their e-petition sites.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
21 All petitions are serious.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
22 It is impossible for the Prime Minister to hear all of the opinions.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

Ways to Reduce Exposure to Air Pollution
1 A report published recently brings bad news about air pollution. It suggests that it could be as damaging to our health as exposure to the radiation from the l986 Ukraine nuclear power plant disaster. The report was published by the UK'S Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution. But what can city people do to reduce exposure to air pollution? Quite a lot, it turns out.
2 Avoid walking in busy streets. Choose side streets and parks instead. Pollution levels can fall a considerable amount just by moving a few meters away from the main pollution source - exhaust fumes（废气）. Also don't walk behind smokers. Walk on the windward（顶风的）side of the street where exposure of pollutants（污染物）can be 50 percent less than on the downwind（顺风的）side.
3 Sitting on the driver's side of a bus can increase your exposure by l0 percent, compared with sitting on the side nearest the pavement. Sitting upstairs on a double-decker（双层电车）can reduce exposure. It is difficult to say whether traveling on an underground train is better or worse than taking the bus. Air pollution on underground trains tends to be less toxic（有毒的）than that at street level, because underground pollution is mostly made up of tiny iron particles（粒子）thrown up by wheels hitting the rails, while diesel（柴油机）and petrol fumes have a mixture of pollutants.
4 When you are crossing a road, stand well back from the curb（路缘）while you wait for the light to change. Every meter really does count when you are close to traffic. As the traffic begins to move, fumes can be reduced in just a few seconds. So holding your breath for just a moment can make a difference, even though it might sound silly.
5 There are large sudden pollution increases during rush hours. Pollution levels fall during nighttime. The time of year also makes a big difference. Pollution levels tend to be at their lowest during spring and a
