First, we’ll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to our life because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes. The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next time. 1. Who is the most likely speaker? A. A doctor B. A mechanic 2. What is the speaker’s main topic? A. Ultraviolet light C. Air-conditioning systems. A professor. D. A chemist. B.The use of spray cans D. Fluorocarbons and the ozone layer.

What is the ozone layer made of ? A. Oxygen B. Fluorocarbons C. Shields D. Ultraviolet light 5. What will probably be discussed next? A. How to make air conditioners with fluorocarbons B. Harmfiil effects of ultraviolet light C. The make-up of the ozone layer D. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion. VIII.

Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the fir St pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970.
