The air in the Indian capital, New Delhi, is among the most polluted of any city in the world.
That is one reason India’s highest court has ordered a temporary 41 on firecracker sales during Diwali, the
Hindu festival of lights. The celebration lasts five days. 42 this period, many Hindus light oil lamps in homes,
windows and on housetops. Crowds gather to watch fireworks at night.
43 the court order has angered many Indians as they prepare for Diwali, which starts October 19th. They say the
order prevents them from taking part in a Hindu 44 : the lighting of fireworks.
Critics have likened the court’s action to banning Christmas trees on Christmas Day. Yet 45 of the firecracker
ban say the health of New Delhi’s 18-million residents is more important than traditions. They note that the city’s air can
endanger human health at this time of the year because of slower winds and colder temperatures that trap more pollution.

四、閱讀測驗
Malala Yousafzai has a message for Canadian kids: Don’t wait, to make a difference. Just because you’re young doesn’t
mean you can’t be a leader.
Yousafzai is an activist for children’s rights, and particularly the right for girls to get an education. In this case, “activist”
means that she tries to get that message out, no matter how difficult that may be for her.
For Yousafzai, it has been very difficult, indeed. When she was 15 years old, she was attacked on her way to school.
Some people in the village where she lived in Pakistan didn’t think girls should be allowed to get an education. They didn’t
like Yousafzai going to school, and they wanted her to stop telling people that girls should be allowed to go to school.
Yousafzai, who is now 19 years old, was very badly hurt. It took her a long time to recover. But she never stopped telling
people about how important it is for girls to get an education.
For her courage and thoughtfulness, and her efforts to help girls around the world get an education, Canada has made her
an “honorary citizen.” That means, Yousafzai is now Pakistani, but also Canadian. She is just the sixth person in Canada’s
history to be awarded that honor.
In her thank-you speech in Canada’s House of Commons, she had a message for Canadian children. “You don’t have to
be as old as the very young Prime Minister Trudeau to be a leader,” she said.
She said that when she was very young, she used to think she had to get older before she could make a difference. But she
said she knows now that anyone, of any age, can stand up for what they believe is right and make a difference. She also asked
Canada’s leaders to take a lead role in raising more money for the education of girls, especially in refugee camps.
After her speech, the packed crowd of Canadian politicians gave her a standing ovation and then spontaneously began
singing the national anthem, O Canada.
【3】46. What is the possible meaning of “activist” in the article?
A person who is good at sports.
A person who likes to join all kinds of activities.
A person who supports social changes.
A person who has positive thinking.
【2】47. Why was Yousafzai attacked in her hometown?
She wanted to win an honorary citizenship.
She supported girl education.
She led young people to fight against the government.
She complained about the judicial system.
【4】48. Which of the following statements about the attack on Yousafzai was NOT true?
It happened four years ago.
She was seriously hurt.
It was in Pakistan.
She was attacked in the classroom.
【2】49. Who did Yousafzai encourage to make a difference?
Canadian Prime Minister.
Canadian kids.
Refugee camp girls.
Refugee camp workers.
【1】50. What did Yousafzai expect the Canada’s leaders to do in her speech?
To raise money.
To visit Pakistan soon.
To set up more refugee camps.
To meet girl students at the House of Commons.
