单选题{{B}}Text 2{{/B}} That afternoon Molly almost danced along the street, as she walked home with her father from the station. They had seen Mrs. Gibson and Cynthia off to London. She wished her step - mother would take herself off to London much more often. "Well now, Dad." she said, "I'm going to have you all to my- self for a whole week. You must be very obedient." "I hope you aren' t going to boss me, Molly. You' re walking me out of breath already. We mustn' t pass Mrs. Goodmays in our hurry." They crossed the street to speak to Mrs. Goodmays, one of the doctor' s patients. "We' ve just been seeing my wife and her daughter off to London. They've gone up for a week." "Dear me, to London, and only for a week!" said Mrs. Goodmays, with surprise. "It seems hardly worth the packing. It'll be lonely for you, Molly, without your stepsister." "Yes," said Molly, suddenly feeling as if she ought to have taken this view of the case. "I' 11 miss Cynthia." "And you, Dr. Gibson, I hope you won' t feel like widower once again. You must come and have supper with me one evening. What about Tuesday?" Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Molly' s shoe, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the old lady' s satisfaction. A moment later Molly said to him, "How could you go and waste one of our precious evening! We' ve only got five now. I' ve been planning all sorts of things for us to do tonight." "What sort of things'?." "Oh, I don' t know. Things you used to like." She looked at him boldly. "Forbidden things now." Her father's eyes lit up, but his face remained serious. "I'm not going to be pulled down, Molly. With hard work and sensible guidance I' ye reached a very fair height of civilized behavior, and there I' m going to stay." "Oh, no, you' re not. We' re having bread and cheese for supper tonight, in armchairs in front of the TV ! And you shall wear your dressing - gown at breakfast tomorrow--and every morning for a week ! And you shall read the paper at the dining-table f That' s only a start. I haven' t finished by a long way yet."

单选题It was once thought that air pollution 'affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories or heavy automobile traffic. Today, we know that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the entire eastern halt' of the United States and led to health warning even in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution. Some scientists feel that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of coal and oil is creating a "greenhouse effect" holding in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be under water. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particulate matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to new ice age and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. At present we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen ( though one recent government report prepared by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very likely). Perhaps, if we are very lucky, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now.
