10、he Great Wall with its battlement symbol. From that moment, I had in my mind that when I grew up Id go to China and walk along the Great Wall from end to end.Lindesays about 3 ,000-km solo run along the Great Wall began in 1987.

Air pollution lowers the average life spans （寿命） by a year worldwide and in more polluted parts of Asia and Africa, dirty air shortens lives up to twice that much. Scientists shared their new

19、d to many health problems. Most earlier studies had looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death.
