Now air pollution is getting worse and worse. The haze（雾霾）in China is serious. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “smog”. The word “smog” is from the words “smoke” and “fog”. It first appeared（出现）in the early 20th century. It is a kind of air pollution caused mostly by cars and factories.
Smog will be harmful（伤害）to your health, especially lungs（肺）. It can make you cough and cause（引起）skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.
1. Don’t do exercise in the open.
Exercising in the open makes you breathe（呼吸）deeply, and you will take in the particles（颗粒物）deep into your lungs.
2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.
If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day—you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.
3.Wear a mask.
Paper and cotton masks cannot help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.
4. Change your diet（饮食）.
Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs.
So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit every day. What’s more, eat less food with too much fat（脂肪）. It’s bad for your lungs.

【推荐2】To our surprise, people make a huge amount of rubbish in their daily life. We should save the environment. The following 3 Rs rules may help us.
Reduce
We can reduce waste by using things wisely. People cut down millions of trees in order to make paper. However, people don’t save paper and waste a lot of paper carelessly. We may have no trees in the near future if we don’t save paper. Besides wasting paper, people also waste other things. They don’t know how to deal with the waste in some big cities. That’s why people need to make waste less.
Reuse
We should think about how to reuse the used things before we threw them away. The clothes which are too small for you are still usable. We wash our old clothes and give them to the people who can’t afford new clothes. Family members can share the clothes with each other.
Recycle
