  Our little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his mom dried her hands on an apron (围裙), she read it, and this is what it said:

  For going to the store for you $ 0.50

  For cutting the grass in the garden $ 4.00

  For cleaning up the yard this week $ 3.00

  For cleaning up my mom this week $ 2.00

  For setting the table for meals this week $ 1.00

  For baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping $ 1.50

  For getting a good report card $ 5.00

  Total owed: $ 17.00

  Well, I'll tell you, his mother looked at him standing there with expectation, and boy, I could see the memories flashing through her mind. So, she picked up the pen, turned over the paper he had written on, and this is what she wrote:

  For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me, No Charge. For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored you and prayed for you, No Charge. For all the trying times and all the tears that you've caused through the years, there's No Charge.

  When you add it all up, the cost of my love is No Charge.

  For all the nights that were filled with fear, and for the worries I knew were ahead, No Charge. For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping up your nose, there's No Charge. And when you add it all up, the full cost of real love is No Charge, Son.

  Well, friends, when our son finished reading what his mother had written, there were great big old tears in his eyes, and he looked straight up at his mother and said: “Mom, I sure do love you.” And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: “PAID IN FULL”.

  In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.

   Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100~150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.

  Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.

(1)Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?

[  ]

A.Chemical dumping is a serious threat to Crafton City's soil.

B.The rapid growth of industry has brought air pollution to Crafton City.

C.The disposal of garbage can destroy recreation areas.

D.Industrial growth and progress have resulted in the pollution of Crafton City's water, air, and soil.

(2)According to the passage, what portion of the park had originally been marked for use as a garbage dump?

[  ]

A.Less than half     B.Exactly half

C.About one third    D.Most of it

(3)As it is used in the passage, the phrase“for good”means ________.

[  ]

A.practically    B.for ever

C.thoroughly    D.advantageously

(4)According to the passage, one result of dumping industrial chemicals into the landfill was that ________.

[  ]

A.the land became unsafe for humans

B.the animals on the land died

C.the poisonous chemicals were washed into the nearby river

D.the smoke from the chemicals polluted the air surrounding the landfill
