There are many sources of pollution in our modern world. At present, the most serious sources
are acid rain, car exhaust fumes and oil spills. Factory chimneys give out smoke that contains
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases combine with moisture in the atmosphere to form
sulphuric acid and nitric acid. When it rains, these acids dissolve in the rain and make it acidic.
Acid rain is believed to be the worst pollution of all. It has harmed aquatic life by turning many
lakes into lifeless bodies of water. Car exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide and lead which are
highly poisonous. In big cities, the exhaust fumes build up and pose a health hazard to human
beings. Pollution of the sea by oil threatens marine life. Much of the oil comes from ships that clean
their fuel tanks while at sea. Offshore oil wells also discharge vast amounts of oil into the sea.
Pollution of the sea can also be caused by oil spills.

Scientists often divide resources into two groups: renewable and non– renewable. When a resource is
used, it takes some times to replace it. If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called
renewable. If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is non-renewable. All fossil fuels are
non-renewable resources. Solar energy, air, and water are usually called renewable because there is an
unlimited supply.
However, this definition may change if people are not careful with these resources. The amount of solar

that reaches the earth may be dangerous. If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the

resources must be conserved and the environment protected. Conservation must become an important
part of everyone’s life.

We have been harnessing the wind's energy for hundreds of years. From old Holland to farms in
the United States, windmills have been used for pumping water or grinding grain. Today, the windmill's
modern equivalent - a wind turbine - can use the wind's energy to generate electricity.
Wind turbines, like windmills, are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters)
or more above ground, they can take advantage of the faster and less turbulent wind.
Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or
even combined with a photo voltaic (solar cell) system. For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large
number of wind turbines are usually built close together to form a wind plant. Several electricity
providers today use wind plants to supply power to their customers.

Stand-alone wind turbines are typically used for water pumping or communications. However,
homeowners, farmers, and ranchers in windy areas can also use wind turbines as a way to cut down on the
use of electricity. Thus, they pay less money for their bills.

Small wind systems also have potential as distributed energy resources. Distributed energy resources refer
to a variety of small, modular power-generating technologies that can be combined to improve the
operation of the electricity delivery system.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have
made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools
of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of
animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are
being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even
where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply
ignores the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the
dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a
few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the

world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water
is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.
1. Which of the following is NOT the reason that makes water undrinkable?
A. acid rain

B. garbage

C. high cost

D. industrial pollution

2. One environmental problem in the world today is --------------.
A. acid rain

B. industrial pollution

C. population explosion D. safe water shortage

3. How many countries throw industrial wastes into the Mediterranean Sea regularly ?
A. nearly 16

B. exactly 16

C. exactly 15

D. less than 15

4. What is a serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia ?
A. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants.
B. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it.

C. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world.
D. The government did not have the power to enforce laws and regulations.
5. What is the message to the readers ?

B. We should take all water resources into account.

A. We should encourage people to use safe water

C. We should limit the use of water resources.
