Many years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It killed our fish and pollute our drinking water.（38）Air pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s hard to all the living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day, （39） sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is poured away, they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car, （40） the fewer people drive ,the less pollution there will be .

Scientists think that a weather pattern（形式）called E1 Nin6（厄尔尼诺现象）caused the drought（干旱）in Australia．E1 Nin6 causes different weather in different parts of the world．It causes a lot of rain and floods in some places．It causes droughts in other places．Droughts can badly affect people and the land．E1 Nin6 lasts about a year．
In normal
weather conditions．warm winds from
the Pacific Ocean．The winds early storms to Australia．These storms bring rain to Australia．
During an E1 Nin6 weather pattern．the winds change direction．They blow from west to east
across the Pacific Ocean．The storms n0 longer move across Australia．So Australia gets very little rain during E1 Nino．
The drought began in January，1982．E1 Nino often occurs at this time of year．But that year，
E1 Nino was stronger than usual．There Was very little rainfall（降雨量）in eastern Australia．There was also very little water in the rivers．The drought was at its worst in February，1983．At that time，the weather was very hot．The forests and fields were very dry．Cotton growers couldn’t plant their cotton．Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat．So many of them died．Because the forests were dry．forest fires started quickly．Some of the fires burned for a month．Many forests were destroyed．Over 2,000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died．
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals．The drought
cost the country over$3,000，000，000．It was a reminder（提示）to Australians of how the weather
could change their lives．1

“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion. It was written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely lonely life. Without other people, life will become empty and sad. We all need to have friends.
For some of us, although making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie’s advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:
l Be friendly and polite.
Always greet with a smile. Begin with “Excuse me” or “Would you please” when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “Thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
l Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.
l Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.
l Be open-minded.
Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.
l Listen patiently.
When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.
（ ）81. The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely lonely life.” means “_____________”.
A．No one can live a hard life. B．No one can live without difficulty.
C．No one can live alone. D．No one can live on an island.
（ ）82. The best title for the passage should be _______________.
A．How to Make Friends B．A Famous Book
C．Friendship First D．John Donne and Dale Carnegie
（ ）83. Some of us find it not easy to make friends because _____________.
A．we are afraid of making bad friends
B．we are shy to take the first action
C．we feel sure that we already have enough friends
D．we feel worried that we won’t be able to keep our friends
（ ）84. We can learn from the passage that ________________.
A．John Donne learned something from Dale Carnegie
B．Friends are always friends
C．Few people bought Carnegie’s book
D．The writer of this passage agrees with John Donne and Dale Carnegie
