　　There is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It is spring time and it has just stopped raining. The stream flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half-melted snow from last winter on the ground.

　　The reason why the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plant and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects(昆虫), which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark, and are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting wheat, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stone of the old church is turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.

　　All the death and destruction in this place is due to(由于) pollution : pollution from smoke coming out of factory chimney and fumes(烟) coming out of the exhausts(排气) of cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometres away from the nearest factory and motor way.

One day Galileo（伽利略）had a letter from a friend in Holland（荷兰）. “A Dutchman（荷兰人）here（1）________ a special（特殊的）kind of glass,” his friend wrote. “His name is Lippershey. I met him yesterday when I（2）________ beside a river. There was a beautiful girl on the far side of the river. I looked at her through his glass, and her face came quite close to me. I cried out with surprise. I thought that I could touch her,（3）________ I put out my hand. Then I almost（4）________ into the water. Lippershey laughed, because the girl was still on the far side of the river. He hasn't any copies of thin glass at present（目前）, so I can't buy one（5）________ you.” Galileo read the letter twice. Then he jumped up from his chair. “I shall make a glass like that,” he cried. “I shall make a（6）________ one. I can see girls’ faces with my own eyes. But（7）________ a strong glass, perhaps I shall see the face of the moon”

　　He began to work at once. He didn't need to see Lippershey's glass. The idea was（8）________ for him, and very soon his glass was ready. He gave it a name “the telescope”(from the Greek（希腊）words for “far” and “see”). Lippershey could see（9）________ the land, but Galileo could see across the sky.
