On a February day during an unusually mild winter, I found myself missing the snowy beauty． I enjoyed the feeling that comes from watching snow fall gently from heaven while I'm cosy inside with a good fire burning in the stove．But there were more serious concerns, like the lack of rainfall making our woods more accessible to summer forest fires．Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry for the vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles．
Then I happened to see three little robins （知更鸟） fly into our yard．What were they doing here? West of us, in the Willamette Valley, wild flowers burst this time of year．But here in central Oregon, even if a groundhog （ 土拨鼠） had wanted to appear, it couldn't have broken through the frozen earth．And yet, these robins had arrived．
Their presence brought me a flow of happiness．It felt like a celebration as I dug into my bag of birdseed and spread a handful on the ground．Above me, the deep blue sky was cloudless, perfectly quiet but for some smoke from a neighbor's chimney．The lively cold made the air fresh and clean． My robins jumped lightly toward the seed．My soul jumped with them, feeling equally carefree．
Caught up in the moment of spring fever, I checked our snowless flower beds．To my delight, I spotted a green branch sticking out through the brown soil．
Despite the cold, I wasn't ready to go back inside．Just a short meeting with those robins had renewed my spirit．The next day I would return to my outdoor work with a cheerful heart and a hopeful eye for these signs of spring．

Cooking Kills Four Million People a Year Polluted airborne particles （大气悬浮颗粒）kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization．
That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico．But those factories-or even the jammed roadways of modem cities-are not the biggest killer．Each year, some 4．3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO．
What's causing the air inside people's homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11, 000 people a day? Stoves．" Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour．" says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3．5 million and 4 million people in 2013．
Not all stoves cause this kind of harm．The ones Smith's talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which bum solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas．The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes．Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable．
Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4．3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease．And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves．
Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the Fire-usually women and young children．In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lone disease．
63．According to Kirk Smith's research, ______．
A．factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadays
B．burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerous
C．household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmful
D．some 4．3 million people die earlier each year than they should
64．What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchen?
A．Solid fuels．      B．Coal stoves．    
C．Poor gas．          D．Cooking smoke．
65．The underlined word "ventilation" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______．
A．airing            B．cooking       
  C．burning            D．cooling
