1. Read and translate the text, find the unknown words in it and write them down into your vocabularies: Air Pollution

When
the Americans decided to clean up the Statue of Liberty in 1986, the
first thing they had to do was to make a hole in her nose and take
away the acid rain that had collected inside. The polluted air of New
York had mixed with the rain and damaged the Statue badly. And you
certainly know the most of the pollution in big cities comes from
cars and buses.

More
and more people are told not to be in direct sunlight, because
ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer. Normally
the ozone layer in the atmosphere protects us from such radiation,
but if there are holes in the ozone layer ultraviolet radiation can
get to the Earth. Many scientists think that these holes are the
result of air pollution.

Nuclear
power stations can go wrong and cause nuclear pollution. This
happened in Windscale in Britain, in Three Mile island in the USA and
the Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union. Nuclear pollution cannot be
seen but its effects can be terrible.

To
make air clean again we need good filters and nuclear power stations,
at factories and plants and also in cars and buses.

Both
clean air and clean water are necessary for our health. If people
want to survive they must solve these problems quickly. Man is
beginning to understand that his environment is not just his own town
or country, but the whole Earth. That’s why people all over the
world think and speak so much about the ecology.
