The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States. s mental abilities in two areas: Language and math. Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person39。Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education. “The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors. s 33 provinces.

The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.”可知，研究人員指出，隨著人們年齡的增長，空氣污染對(duì)言語能力的影響更加嚴(yán)重，尤其是在男性和文化程度較低的人群中。因此在最后一段中研究人員強(qiáng)調(diào)了全世界應(yīng)該注意空氣污染。 （4）考查推理判斷。該研究是一個(gè)由中國北京大學(xué)和美國耶魯大學(xué)的研究人員參與的項(xiàng)目。故選C。5．閱讀理解 A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or ail empty capsule. Even though they have no medicine in them, these things seem to make people well. The patient thinks it is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen? Placebos do not always work. The success of this treatment seems to rest a lot with the relationship between the patient and the doctor. If the patient has a lot of trust in the doctor and if the doctor really wants to help the patient, then the placebo is more likely to work. So in a way, the doctor is the most powerful placebo of all. The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo．（1）What do we know about placebo according to the passage?
