V. Reading Comprehension
Dangers of Living
Every day is full of danger. You wake in the morning, rush to the window and take a deep breath. Don't! Hasn't anyone told you about air pollution? Next you go to the bathroom. After touching the bathroom handle, your clean-looking hands are covered with bacteria （细菌），which even a good wash won't entirely remove. You sigh, and get dressed. Good heavens! Didn't you realise that the chemical materials in your clothes won't let you skin breathe?
With little red spots beginning to appear on your skin, you make your way to the kitchen for breakfast. Eating must be good for you 一 mustn't it? Of course it is. But remember, tea and coffee are bad for your heart, or a good old fashioned English breakfast with fried bacon and eggs will make you fat.
Depressed — not to mention hungry — you go to clean your teeth. Put down that nylon toothbrush at once! It will ruin your gums. Do you have the courage to weigh yourself? Horrors! You've at least 10 kilograms overweight, which is sure to help send you to an early grave.
Hesitating, you make your way to the car, knowing that （according to statistics） there's a good chance that either you or one of your nearest and dearest will be involved in an accident sometime during your life. After a nervous journey, you finally reach work.
Filled with relief you get into the lift. Get out at once and race up those stairs, unless you want a heart attack tomorrow.
Out of breath, you reach the office, where you drop into a chair out of exhaustion. The cleaner has just left, leaving a delightful, pleasant smell in the air. You breathe deeply, enjoying the sweet fragrance. Danger! Breathing in the chemicals and dust will ruin your lungs.
With shaking hands, you light a cigarette to calm your nerves. A what? How dare you? In comes your colleague, Ms Brown, all ready for a busy day, blonde hair and make-up in place. Do you think she's heard about the cancer scare concerning hair dyes （染发剂）and eye-liners （描眉色）？
At last lunch time comes. You join your friends in the local restaurant for a sandwich. White bread, eh? A low fat diet is no good at all. You have \"just one more drink,\" which helps you on your way to liver （肝 脏）failure, and you return to the office. You spend the afternoon fighting a battle with high blood pressure and hunger until 5:30, the time to go home.
What a traffic jam on the road today! You tap on the car as you are waiting, and suddenly catch the sight of the front part of your head in the car mirror and see the large veins （静脉）on your skin. You suddenly remember the article you were reading about strokes （中风）.
As nervous as a mouse, you reach home. You finally make your way into the room and fall into the
protective arms of your wife. She won't last much longer, of course. She is breathing a large amount of washing powder, quite a lot of chemicals from her hair dyes and sprays.
