10.Santa's gift bag full of air is no longer a joke,as a Canadian company that sells crisp,canned air from the Rocky Mountains has cashed in on China's air pollution.
Just two months after arriving in China,Vitality Air's first 500 canisters were sold out.The next pre-ordered 4,000 canisters are expected to be delivered to the country in two weeks,said Catherine Qi,marketing director of Vitality Air China.Vitality Air said its products are sold primarily to high-end clubs,nightclubs and international schools in China.
The air is harvested from the Rocky Mountains and is available in two varieties-Banff and Lake Louise.The price is 129 yuan (﹩19.95)per canister,Qi told China Daily."Our products sell not only in China,but also other places including the Middle East and India,"she said.The product originated with a practical joke in which Vitality Air founder Moses Lam put a plastic bag of fresh air on eBay with a price tag of 99 US cents.It sold quickly.The next bag of fresh air was auctioned(拍賣)at﹩168 and also was sold.Then Lam realized the demand for quality,convenient and fresh air by people who have stayed indoors for a long time.Each canister of 7.7 liters will supply 150 doses.The product is available at Taobao,an online marketplace run by Alibaba Group Holding,and at Vitality Air's website,said Qi.
Zhang Naxin,a respiratory physician(呼吸內(nèi)科醫(yī)生) in Tianjin,told Daily News that 150 doses of Canadian air won't make much of a difference."A person breathes 20 times on average per minute,and one bottle would last for less than eight minutes."
Tina Wang,a manager at a logistics company in China,said she was intrigued by the product."I've had the flu this week,and the bad air here doesn't help me get better.This bottle of fresh air is just what I need,"said Wang,who added that she thought the price was too high.

分析 短文主要講了Vitality Air 在網(wǎng)上出售空氣的事情,以及人們對其的看法.

解答 28.A,細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子The product originated with a practical joke in which Vitality Air founder Moses Lam put a plastic bag of fresh air on eBay with a price tag of 99 US cents可知,Vitality Air決定賣空氣是源于一個玩笑,故答案為A.
29.B,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子The product is available at Taobao,an online marketplace run by Alibaba Group Holding,and at Vitality Air's website,said Qi.可知,這些空氣可以在淘寶和Vitality Air的官網(wǎng)買到,也就是可以在網(wǎng)上買到,故答案為B.
30.B,細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子The price is 129 yuan (﹩19.95)per canister可知,每罐空氣售價是19.95美元,那么兩罐就是39.9美元,故答案為B.
31.C,態(tài)度觀點題,根據(jù)Tina所說的話I've had the flu this week,and the bad air here doesn't help me get better.This bottle of fresh air is just what I need可知,這些空氣讓她身體變好了,可以推測她是支持的,故答案為C.
