听力原文：W: Air pollution is one of the most serious problems in the world. Polluted air can make us sick or even kill us. Why isn't more done to stop it？
M: Everyone wants to stop it, but it is a difficult problem to solve. Meat pollution is mused by things people need.
W: What do you mean？
M: Well, automobiles and airplanes cause pollution but they also provide transportation.
W: Right. And factories cause air pollution but they provide people with jobs and products.
M: Cities are the worst offenders. In crowded cities, factories and cars can add tons of pollution to the air every day.
W: Yes. When I drove, to town yesterday, the clear air changed. It seemed like a dark cloud hung over the city.
M: Nobody likes air pollution. It smells bad; it makes it difficult to breathe.
W: True, it even damages the plants that provide tis with food. No wonder we get sick. It's dangerous to everyone's health.
M: I think everyone knows it is a serious problem. When air pollution can even damage strong materials like steel and concrete; think what it does to poor humans.
W: It is terrible, and yet we do need some things that cause it. We'll have to try to figure out a solution.

In the US, poll after poll has shown a majority in favour of animal experimentation, even without statements about its value. Why is opinion in Britain so different？ I think that there are two reasons.
The first is the success of antivivisection campaigners in lampooning animal research as outdated, intentionally cruel, "bad" science, which achieves nothing. All drugs and procedures developed with the help of animal tests are said to be dangerous. The occasional failure of animal testing to identify a dangerous drug is developed as an argument for abandoning safety tests involving animals altogether--with no mention of the terrible human suffering that this would cause. They say that "alternative" methods already exist for all animal experiments, but the fact is that the law specifically forbids animal use if there is any alternative.
The second reason is that scientists and doctors have failed to oppose such misrepresentation. In the early 1990s, animal rights campaigning in the US was met with much more forthright defense, not only by the major scientific societies, funding agencies and medical organizations, but also by the US government.
To be positive, there are many encouraging features of the New Scientist poll. Interestingly, the public seems to employ the same kind of utilitarian philosophy that underpins the law in Britain--weighing potential benefits against the species involved (thus, monkeys are more "valuable" than mice) and the likelihood of suffering.
Clearly, people in Britain do not recognize the essential link between animal research and testing and the medical treatments that they receive. Only 18 percent of those who had taken (or had a close family member who had taken a drug prescribed for a serious illness realized that the drug had been tested on animals, as all drugs are. Obviously, a large majority of those surveyed believe that they can happily benefit from medical treatment without taking advantage of animal research. No wonder so many people oppose it when asked the straight yes/no question.
The views of the public must be respected. But this poll tells us that, while they are open to persuasion, their reaction is based on misunderstanding. The responsibility for providing honest evidence for the public lies not just with those who use animals in their research, but with other scientists who depend on that work. It lies with the doctors who benefit from animal research, with the pharmaceuticals and biotech industries, and the medical charities and funding age, les whose work would be crippled without it. But most of all, responsibility rests with government, which should cultivate serious and transparent debate between those of different opinion, and provide the public--especially young people--with the honest evidence they need and deserve.
In the first sentence of Paragraph 3, "such misrepresentation" refers to ______.
A．the idea that other methods can be substituted for animal research
B．the claim that animal experiment is intentionally cruel
C．the belief that all drugs developed with animal tests are dangerous
D．the fact that scientists and medical organizations support animal experimentation

In old times, people wondered about the changes of seasons, about the stars, the moon and the sun. They could not explain these things, and so they made up "why" stories about them.
The ancient Greeks told about Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, who kept the earth all green all year. One day her daughter Persephone was kidnapped(绑架) by Hades, the god of the dead. Demeter was so unhappy that she let everything on earth die. At last, Hades permitted Persephone to return to her mother for part of the year. During that period, everything on earth grew well again. One season, however, Persephone had to stay with Hades. During that season, the earth remained cold and bare. So winter was explained.
American Indians told of an old woman who stood on a high mountain. When the moon was full, she cut off bits of it and threw these bits about the sky. This explained where the stars came from, and why the moon became small.
Hundreds of stories like these were passed down by word of mouth. Later, these stories were put in books. Today we read them not for explanation of natural wonders but for enjoyment.
The ancient Greeks explained ______.
A．how the year was divided into four seasons
B．how Demeter's daughter was saved
C．why they loved Demeter and hated Hades
D．why they had a winter season
