history of medicine. He was born in Iran in A.D. 980. He began practicing
medicine when he was only sixteen years old. His most famous book, Al-
Qanun fi al-Tibb (The Canon of Medicine) is one of the most important
books ever written. It changed medical teaching throughout the world up
to the early eighteenth century. Today, Ibn Sina’s picture hangs in the main
hall of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Paris.

3. In many cities, the roads are crowded with too many cars. Too many cars
can cause a serious problem called smog. Smog happens when the
exhaust gases from cars mix with sunlight. Sometimes you can actually
see smog. It looks like a yellow-brown cloud hanging in the air over a city.
Smog spoils views and makes it unpleasant to do outdoor activities. But
smog can also be dangerous to your health. It is especially dangerous for
young children and older people. People with heart disease or lung
problems suffer because of smog. Smog may cause headaches or
dizziness, and it makes it hard for some people to breathe. Unfortunately,

will only get worse.
