口語俠每日早讀:第31期:空氣污染
空氣污染一直是最近幾年大家都比較關(guān)注的一個(gè)問題，今天的早讀就是一則來自CNN的新聞報(bào)道。
The World Health Organization, part of the UnitedNations, has a new warning out about air pollution.It says that nine in ten people around the world livein areas with unsafe levels of pollution. Theorganization collected data from thousands oflocations worldwide and says air pollutioncontributes to more than 3 million deaths every year.Poor air quality is one reason why you see peoplewearing face masks in some Chinese cities. Pollution in China is said to factor in to more deathsper year than in any other country. But India also has a high death toll blamed on air pollution,followed by Russia.
