Everyone should take the action to reduce haze(雾霾)，which is harmless to our health．First of all，I believe that if we plant more tree，there will be less haze in their city．Trees can absorb exhaust fumes(尾气)from cars，thus reduce pollution．Second，the government should punish the factories where produce too many fumes．Exhaust fumes is the main cause of haze and do greatly harm to people’s health．Maybe we can move factories to areas where few people live．Third，I think it was a great idea to encourage people to use public transportation．Last but not least，we can call on citizens ride bikes if they travel short journeys.
There’s no one reason why women return to school. Going back to school provides private and public benefits. College graduates, generally enjoy higher salaries,1.(employ) more consistently, and work in nicer conditions. College-educated people vote more, give more to charity, and rely2.(little) on government support.
Making the switch from3.(support) to supporting oneself can be a challenge,4.often a necessary one. “Financial5.(dependent) for women is key,” says Nancy Schlossberg, a professor at University of Maryland. “I think6.important for women to make some direct achievement, because chances are that women will live alone in later life, either divorced7.never married.”
To Schlossberg, education is critical in the long run. She says, “You are going to do much better than before8.you have a good education; you are going to be happier than before on condition that you have9.education that enables you to do what you have to do in life. The question is10.you are ready at this time to go for it.

Why doesn’t the conductor face the audience?1.As the only person with his back to the audience, the conductor is a figure who is bathed in the spotlight, but his complex work requires a high degree of musical skill, as well as an ability to extract what he desires out of the group of artists he leads--his orchestra.
2.A person may become a conductor without graduating from the conducting department of a music school or studying in any kind of conductor’s training program. However, becoming the conductor of a famous orchestra requires a great deal more than what is needed merely to join an orchestra.
3.These naturally examine a conductor’s technique and musical interpretation while he conducts an orchestra through a prepared piece of music, but they also involve a sight-reading element.4.The conductor then has to sit in a room and memorize the piece before coming out and leading the orchestra through the piece by memory. Not only does the conductor have to make his arm and hand motion properly, and signal all the entrances of each instrument, he has to point out intentional mistakes made by the orchestra members on the spot.
The least capabilities a conductor must have are: The ability to memorize an entire score. A good ear for distinguishing correct notes among the music of the entire orchestra.5.
Of the conductors that meet these requirements, those with better musical insight and a higher level of charisma(魅力) will succeed.
A. The need for a common musical standard becomes necessary
B. The ability to lead a group of professional musicians
C. There are many conducting competitions
D. For this, the score of music is given to the conductor on site
E. This is how the role of the conductor came to be established
F. The role of the conductor is in fact not well understood
G. There are no examinations for becoming a conductor
