1/ How do industry and transport cause pollution ?

2/ How can I help ?
3/ What is the pollution ?
4/ How can industry help ?
5/ What cause pollution ?
6/ What about air pollution ?
A. ___ Pollution is the poisoning of the land, sea and air.

B. ___ Mainly industry and transport. If you go to any city, you will see too many factories,
too many cars with not enough people in them, and not enough public transport.
C. ___ Factories and vehicles produce waste which goes into the air and rivers and spreads
all over the land. Poisons in the waste build up over the years and harm trees, plants, animals, and
people.
D. ___ Waste gases build up in the air, and dissolve into raindrops, forming a weak acid.
This "acid rain" can fall far away from the country which produced it, killing trees in forests and
fish in lakes and rivers.
E. ___ If companies clean their waste gases before releasing them into the atmosphere,
there'll be much less air pollution and no acid rain. But this can be expensive and it needs all the
world's companies to do it.
F. ___ Cars pollute the atmosphere. Walk, cycle and use public transport as much as
possible. Only use your car when you really need to, and use unleaded petrol if you can - lead is one
of the most dangerous ingredients in petrol. Join us, and help us to campaign for cleaner air for
everybody.

Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived
through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and dying
ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into
a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as
a printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the
Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped
him to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience
in business was shared in his famous Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation
throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written
toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity
and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving
the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native
19
Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and -
because he was a pragmatic man - a fire prevention service. In 1753 he became Postmaster-General
of the colonies. Through this experience he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North
America should be a single nation. Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British
government to change the conditions, especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into
rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states,
he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help
George Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his
last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of
the creators of the United States.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the
inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for
awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there
were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968,
just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars
was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to
$125,000.
27
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal,
illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an
important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but
relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of
World War II Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

A. 1895 B . 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968

Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses were used.
Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes could afford to buy
books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn’t enough time to learn. In any case, the
books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax with a book as we do today. They wanted
booked because they were expensive and there was something magical about them. Only a few
people were able to write, and it took an extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other
people who could write said ordinary people could not learn to read.
The position with computers is very similar today. A few years ago, computers were very
large and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but they didn’t know how to
use them. In many countries, however, the situation has now completely changed. Lots of people
not only own microcomputer but also know how to use them.
Questions:
1) What happened before printing presses were invented?
2) Why were books wanted before printing presses were invented?
3) What is common feature of a book and a computer?
4) What situation has thoroughly changed nowadays?
