Carbon monoxide poisoning (一氧化碳中毒) causes death and injuries around the world. This gas is a problem in all parts of the world that experience cold weather. A few years ago, America’s Centers for Disease Control (C. D. C.) studied deaths linked (聯(lián)系) with carbon monoxide poisoning. It found that the number of carbon monoxide deaths in the United States was greatest in January. The C.D.C. also found that carbon monoxide kills more than four hundred Americans each year. And, it said more than twenty thousand people are taken to hospital for treatment of health problems linked with the gas.
Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because people do not know it is in the air. The gas has no color, no taste and no smell. It does not cause burning eyes. And it does not cause people to cough. Yet, carbon monoxide gas is very deadly (致命的). It steals the body’s ability to use oxygen.
Carbon monoxide makes it difficult for the blood to carry oxygen to body tissues (血管). It does this by linking with the blood. When the gas links with the blood, the blood is no longer able to carry oxygen to the tissues that need it. Damage (損害) to the body can begin very quickly from large amounts (數(shù)量) of carbon monoxide.
How quickly this can happen depend on how long a person is breathing the gas and how much gas he or she breathes in.
Carbon monoxide poisoning has warning signs(標(biāo)志). But people have to be awake to realize them. Small amounts of the gas will cause a person’s head to hurt. He or she may begin to feel tired. Their stomachs may feel sick. The room may appear to be turning around. The person may have trouble thinking clearly.
People develop serious headache as the amount of the gas continues to enter their blood. They will begin to feel very tired and sleepy. They may have terrible stomachache.
Doctors say carbon monoxide influences people differently. For example a small child will experience health problems or die much sooner than an adult. The general health of the person or his or her age can also be important.
【小題1】The damage of carbon monoxide to the body has something to do with _____.

A．the amount a person breathes in
B．whether a person is healthy
C．how many signs a person finds
D．a(chǎn)ges of people
【小題2】One of the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning is _____.
A．burning eyesB．bad cough
C．serious headacheD．high fever
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Carbon monoxide poisoning seldom happens in cold areas.
B．Twenty thousand Americans are killed by carbon monoxide each year.
C．Most people know whether there is carbon monoxide in the air.
D．Carbon monoxide stops the blood from carrying oxygen to body tissues.
【小題4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Warning signs that carbon monoxide poisoning has.
B．Reasons why carbon monoxide can cause person’s death.
C．The damage of carbon monoxide and how it works.
D．Influences of carbon monoxide on children and adults.

It was just three degrees above zero. “That’s cold,” thought Jane as she got ready to deliver her morning papers. Jane had 50 customers, and on cold mornings when she couldn’t ride her bicycle, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds. As she collected her papers and put them into a big canvas bag, Jane regretted that she hadn’t finished her math homework the night before. There was still time. She’d hurry with the papers and finish the math before breakfast.
Less than an hour later, Jane was nearly finished. She had only five customers to go. She could then head for home to complete her math while her room fixed breakfast. As she rounded the corner, she saw a car in the middle of the street. It was Mr. Zimmerman, the elder man, who walked with a walking stick. His car was out of gas.“I’d like to help Mr. Zimmerman,” thought Jane, “but if I do, I won’t have time to do my homework.” She hated to think what Mr. Roberts would say if she hadn’t completed her papers.
“It’s his own fault for running out of gas,” Jane talked to herself. “The station is only a half mile down the street. Surely Mr. Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this --- can’t he? ” As she walked down the street, Jane wondered what to do.

     Douglas Corrigan had a dream. He wanted to fly a plane across the Atlantic Ocean by himself. He
bought a used airplane. Then he asked for permission (允許) to fly it across the ocean. People from the
government looked at his shabby, old plane. They said no because the plane didn't look safe enough to
make the trip smooth.

landed in Dublin, Ireland. He had flown the Atlantic Ocean after all.
    What happened? According to Corrigan, the needle (針) on his compass (羅盤) was pointed the wrong way.
