Read the text and answer the questions below
Air, water, and soil are necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause
illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of the soil reduces the amount
of land that is available for growing food. The pollution problem is very complicated because much pollution
is caused by things that benefit people. For example, exhaust from automobiles causes a large percentage of
air pollution. But the automobiles provides transportation for millions of people. Factories discharge much of
the material that pollutes the air and water, but factories give employment to a large number of people. Thus,
to end or greatly reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many things that benefit
them. Pollution can be gradually reduced in several ways. Scientists and engineers can work to find ways to
lessen the amount of pollution that such things as automobiles and factories cause. Governments can pass and
enforce laws that require businesses and individuals to stop, or to cut down on certain polluting activities.

1. What is necessary for the survival of all living things?
..

4. Who can work to find ways to end or to reduce pollution immediately?

British politeness
Do you, learners of English, ever wonder whether repeating and trying to remember various everyday
expressions, such as Excuse me, could you tell me where the nearest taxi rank is? has any value other than in
exams? Well, I must admit that such thing didnt cross my mind until last February when I got a letter from
the British Council, saying that I had won a language course in England.
The polite question mentioned was the one I had to ask on arrival in Parkston, a picturesque part of
Poole with lot of semi-detached houses on either side of each street. What struck me most was the kindness of
an old lady, who happened to leave Safeways just after my getting off the coach. Not only did she show me
where to phone for a taxi, but she also gave me a hand with the luggage. I was really surprised, too, when the
taxi driver got out of the car and helped me put the bags into the boot. I immediately thought of Polish taxi
drivers who usually do not make the slightest effort to help you, apart from pressing the right button and
waiting for the boot to open.
In spite of the stereotypes about reluctance towards foreigners, the English turn out to be an extreme
polite and open nation.
