Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution（污染）. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog（烟雾）. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air. We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution. Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution. 1. Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today because________.

How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school! No-car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car-not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, bike or run. Use your legs! It’s lots of fun! Turn off the water! Did you know that some toilets can waste（浪费）twenty to forty m3 of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small river!

Both writers have their own ideas on zoos. 1. Zoos Do a Good Job It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However, I believe that zoos have many good points. Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger. Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly（定期） . In the world, it is not always possible for an animals to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept in zoos never go hungry. Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct（灭绝）. But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world. From Maria Smith 2. I disagree with Maria! In Maria’s letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals, they are only good for people. It is unnatural（非自然的） and unfair to keep wild animals in cages （笼子）. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can’t do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad. Most cages are not very clean, either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat（对待） animals in the same way that we treat other people --- with respect. Would anyone be happy if you don’t let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn’t. And animals don’t like it, either. From Philip Black （ ） 1. Maria and Philip have quite different ideas on keeping animals in zoos. （ ） 2. In Maria’s opinion（观点），a real bear or tiger can only be seen in zoos. （ ） 3. Maria thinks that animals live better in zoos than in the wild. （ ） 4. According to Philip, if cages are big and clean enough, tigers and bears will look happy. （ ） 5. Maria and Philip both agree that zoos are good for people. （ ） 6. In the two letters, they are discussing how to make animals in zoos happy. (D) Dear editor(编辑), I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many colorful peacocks(孔雀) here. The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square. They are given food freely by visitors. They usually throw food to them, and don’t think about at all whether the food is right or not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors. I’m sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don’t realize that they may be doing them harm. The visitors should be told that what they have done is very harmful to the birds, and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening. Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person, it is our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
