22、Particulate Matter
There are things floating around in the air. Most of them, you can not even see. They are a kind of air pollution called particles or particulate matter. In fact, particulate matter may be the air pollutant that most commonly affects people’s health.
Have a Look.
Particles can come in almost any shape or size, and can be solid particles or liquid droplets.【1】 These two groups differ in many ways. One of the differences is size, we call the bigger particles PM 10 and we call the smaller particles PM 2.5.
BIG.
The big particles are between 2.5 and 10 micrometers (from about 25 to 100 times thinner than a human hair). These particles are called PM 10 (we say ―PM ten, which stands for Particulate Matter up to 10 micrometers in size).【2】
SMALL.
The small particles are smaller than 2.5 micrometers (100 times thinner than a human hair).【3】We say ―PM two point five, as in Particulate Matter up to 2.5 micrometers in size.The smaller particles are lighter and they stay in the air longer and travel farther. PM 10 particles can stay in the air for minutes or hours while PM 2.5 particles can stay in the air for days or weeks.And travel? 【4】 PM 2.5 particles go even farther; many hundreds of miles.
Particulate Matter and Your Health.
When you breathe, you take in the air along with any particles in the air, like heavy metal sand cancer causing organic compounds. Both PM 10 and PM 2.5 particles can cause health problems, specifically respiratory (呼吸的) health.【5】 Exposure to particulate matter leads to increased use of medication and more visits to the doctor or emergency room.
A.These particles are called PM 2.5.
B.We divide particles into two major groups.
C.These particles cause less severe health effects.
D.PM 10 particles can travel as much as 30 miles.
E.Air pollution is a growing problem in the whole world.
F.PM 2.5 can have worse health effects than the bigger PM 10.
G.Air pollutants have great effects on our environment and our health.
23、 NO ONE EVER said science education was easy. Certainly the concepts we teach, like conservation of momentum or quantum mechanics, can be hard to grasp. But what really complicates the attempt is that we' re also trying to teach a deeper lesson at the same time — to help students understand the nature of science itself.
All too often, young people get the impression that science is about learning certain “laws" and then applying them to different situations. After all, that's what we make them do on tests, to show that they've been doing the work. But that’s not it at all. Science is the process of building these concepts through the collection of experimental evidence.
And while I'm on it, let's call these concepts what they really are—not laws, but models. Science is all about building and testing models. It's difficult to help students understand that aspect of science when we just give them the models to begin with. Sure, in physics we often include historical or mathematical evidence to support big ideas , but that often isn't enough.
Of course, we can't start from nothing. If students had to build their own models from the ground up, it would be like trying to learn programming by inventing computers. As Isaac Newton is supposed to have said, we stand on the shoulders of giants. We must take models built by others and go from there.
What I'd like to suggest is that this actually provides a great way into the adventure of science and an opportunity to meet our objectives as educators. If you can create a situation that challenges students' assumptions and produces conceptual conflict, that's a great opportunity for learning.
【1】What is the misunderstanding of teaching science?
A.It's complicated.
B.It focuses on the nature of science.
C.It's very difficult.
D.It lies in leaching and testing “laws”.
【2】Which way to teach science is highly recommended by the author?
A.Encouraging students to always start from nothing.
B.Providing students with some models to follow suit.
C.Guiding students to begin with models built by others.
D.0ffering students proof io support important concepts.
【3】The author cites Isaac Newton's words to .
A.justify the experiment
B.praise the statement
C.show the achievement
D.support the argument
【4】What is the best title of die passage?
A.The Best Way to Teach Science
B.The Best Way of Concept Building
C.The Best Way to Learn Science
D.The Best Way to Handle Concept Conflict
