More than three billion people are at risk from indoor air pollution because of the heating or
cooking fuels they use. Most live in Africa, India and China. They use wood, crop waste, animal
waste or coal. These solid fuels may be the least costly fuels available. But they are also a major
cause of health problems and death.
The Aprovecho Research Center has been designing cooking stoves for the developing world.
People having less money use wood orbiomassfor cooking; the richer people use oil and gas. It's
estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas.
The group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, clay, ceramics and old oil drums.
Most of the stoves look like large, deep cooking pots. They have an opening at the bottom for the
fire and a place on the top to put a pot.
In the late 1970s, Aprovecho produced a popular stove called the Lorena. The Lorena was
good at reducing smoke and warming homes. But new tests years later found that it was not efficient.
The Lorena used twice as much wood as an open fire, and it took much longer to heat food. Since
then, they have experimented with countless other designs.
Their goal is to make an inexpensive stove-let's say five dollars-that makes little smoke, and it's
safe for health and reduces global warming and deforestation(采伐森林)．
Aprovecho has now partnered with a stove manufacturer in China. The company is making
Aprovecho's first mass produced stoves. They are said to use 40%-50% less wood than an open
fire, and produce 50%-70% less smoke. A company called StoveTec is selling them through its
website for less than ten dollars. Dean Still says that more than one hundred thousand have been
sold so far.

健康环保类阅读

健康环保累阅读概念：

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。体裁有记叙文、说明文、议论文和各种应用文。

健康环保类文章阅读技巧：

       健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考，理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文，从结构上看大致可分为三个部分：
       第一部分一般是文章的首段，主要用来提出文章的主题，即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容；
       第二部分是文章的主体，可由若干个段落组成，对文章的主题进行展开说明；
       第三部分是结尾段，对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时，而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性，也常使用被动语态。
       从近几年的考试题来看，科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节，很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事，需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少，因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难，只要多加训练，就能较好地答题。
【阅读策略】
1、概要(Summarizing)：
      阅完材料后，将所阅材料浓缩，摘要，做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。
2、组织(Organization)：
      阅读后根据阅读内容，识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如：时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
