Passage 1

If we want to live longer, we can no longer afford to inhale air contaminated with particulate matter. Particulate matter—also known as particulates—is microscopic solid or liquid matter floating in the Earth’s atmosphere. Sources of particulate matter can be natural or man-made. Particulates which occur naturally may originate from volcanoes, dust storms, or forest fires. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels in vehicles, coal combustion, and various industrial processes also generate significant amounts of particulates.

Fine particles, with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less, are the most lethal form of air pollution because they are able to penetrate deep into the lungs and blood streams unfiltered, which in turn may cause permanent DNA mutations, heart attacks, and premature death. In addition, particulate matter exposure is also linked to an increased risk of stroke by its narrowing effects on the arteries.

Particulate matter can clog minute pores of plant leaves and interfere with photosynthesis functions. It has been found that high particulate matter concentrations in the atmosphere can lead to stunted growth or mortality in some plant species.

【題組】 36. According to the passage, which of the following activities is unlikely to generate particulates?
(A) burning coal
(B) meditation
(C) driving a truck that runs on diesel

Passage 2 Various research centers are studying identical twins in order to discover the “heritability” of behavioral characteristics—that is, the degree to which a trait is due to genes instead of environment. They have reached some startling conclusions. One study found, for example, that optimism and pessimism are both very much influenced by genes, but only optimism is also affected by environment. According to another study, genes influence our coffee consumption, but not consumption of tea. Anxiety seems to be 40 to 50 percent heritable. Another study tells us that happiness does not depend much on money or love or professional success; instead, it is 80 percent heritable! Among the traits that appear to be largely heritable are shyness, attraction to danger (thrill seeking), and choice of career.

Passage 3

Our current phase of overconsumption began about 30 years ago, when Americans began committing close to half of their annual expenditures to nonnecessities. It was the beginning of a gradual decline in the cost of consumer goods, the growth of everyday credit-card use and the rise of big-box stores and discount retailers that pushed their way into communities nationwide, forcing down prices and profits for those competing around them.

In the past decade, the cost of cell phones, toys, computers and televisions has plunged, thanks in part to overseas manufacturing. The rise of “fast fashion”—popularized by the growth of clothing outlets like Gap, Forever 21 and American Eagle selling $10 T-shirts and $30 jeans—is now driven by low-cost imports H&M and Uniqlo. Today the average U.S. household has about 248 pieces of clothing and 29 pairs of shoes. It purchases, on average, 64 garments and seven pairs of shoes annually, at

a total cost of $1,141 a year, or $16 per item.
