Ques:,A, B, CD,,. Roy wasn't the only one to receive his call-up papers.Stephen Napier's call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force (RAF). His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him. "Thought you'd forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army..." "No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy----at least they've got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be, so let's leave it at that." His face went red. Sent to his father's school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose. The father glared at Stephen, "No, I won't leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what's all this about America?" "America?" "Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration ." The big, silvered head lowered, _ ."Don't trouble to deny it." "I won't, Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of research----the sort of research I could do.It would be a worthwhile life for me." The father responded exactly as his son had known he would."You've got a worthwhile life here!You've got an estate to run!" "No, Father. You've got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it, but I..." "If he were here, I might think about this silly idea of yours----only think about it, mind you but..." If Father wanted Stephen to take over the estate, the first thing he did would  _  . A) take a walk with Stephen as usual B) wait till his son graduated from Cambridge C) persuade Stephen not to go into RAF D) send Stephen to the Army instead of RAF

Ques:Air pollution is a leading cause of cancer and classified among Group 1,or top, human carcinogens  , said the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer agency, on Oct 17,2013. The most widely used system for classifying carcinogens comes from the IARC, which places them into five groups. Group 1 carcinogens definitely cause cancer in humans. Group 2A is probably carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B is possibly carcinogenic, the carcinogenicity of Group 3 in humans is unclassifiable, and Group 4 is probably not carcinogenic to humans. Only a little more than 100 are classified as Group 1 cancer-causing substances, including ultraviolet radiation and tobacco smoke. "Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air pollutants," the lARC's Dana Loomis said in a statement. "The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution." In 2010, lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223,000 people worldwide, and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder   cancer, according to the IARC. Air pollution is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory and heart diseases. Air pollution is global, although the levels of it vary over space and time. Loomis said people in Asia, eastern North America, some places in Central America and Mexico, as well as North Africa have relatively high exposure. Developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors, such as China, are particularly at risk. Many cities in China, such as Beijing, frequently see smog. This week, Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang province, became the first Chinese city to officially suspend classes due to serious smog Many developed countries face similar problems, although to a lesser degree than most developing nations. In Europe, levels of many pollutants... What's the main task of IARC? A) To focus on cancer-causing substances. B) To evaluate the air quality. C) To study the developing risk of cancer. D) To send signals to the international community.
