The following text is for questions 42 to 44

Smog is air pollution that reduces visibility. The term “smog” was first used in the early
1900s to describe a mix of smokes and fog. The smoke usually came from burning coal.
Smog was common in industrial areas and remains a familiar sight in cities today.
Today, most of the smog we see is photochemical smog. Photochemical smog is
produced when sunlight reacts with nitrogen oxides and at least one volatile organic
compound (VOC) in the atmosphere. Nitrogen oxides come from car exhausts and factory
emissions. VOCs are released from gasoline, paint and many cleaning solvents. When
sunlight hits these chemicals, they form airborne particles and ground-level ozone-or smog.
Ozone can be helpful or harmful. The ozone layer high up in the atmosphere protects us
from the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet radiation. However, when ozone is close to the ground,
it is bad for human’s health. Ozone can damage lung tissue and it is especially dangerous to
people with respiratory illnesses like asthma. Ozone can also cause itchy, burning eyes.
Smog is harmful to humans and animal and it can kill plants. Smog is also ugly. It
makes the sky brown or grey. Smog is common in big industrial cities and traffic. Cities
located in basins surrounded by mountains may have smog problems because the smog gets
trapped in the valley and cannot be carried away by wind.
Many countries, including the United States, have issued laws to reduce smog,
including restriction on what chemicals a factory can release into the atmosphere, or when the
factory can release them. Communities have “burn days” where residents can burn waste as
leaves in their yard. These places limit on chemicals released into the air, to reduce the
amount of smog.

42. What should we do to reduce smog?

a. Burn leaves in the morning
b. Use public transportation
c. Live in a suburb area
d. Use less electricity
43. From the text we can conclude that ...
a. Smog which firstly appeared in 1800s was common in industrial areas and coal
mining
b. Only people living in big cities suffer from health problems caused by smog and
ultraviolet radiation
c. Ozone which is close to the ground protect us from smog and dangerous ultraviolet
radiation
d. People living in an industrial area surrounded by mountains may have health
problems caused by smog
44. Which paragraph explains the disadvantages of the smog?
a. Paragraph 1
b. Paragraph 2
c. Paragraph 3
d. Paragraph 4
