由于现代交通和现代通讯设备的应用世界变得越来越小，今日的生活比数百年前要方便得多，但也由之带来新的问题，其中之一便是污染．本文围绕带来的危害而展开议论，并呼吁要立法，以净化自然，保护环境，保护人类生存的家园－－地球．

　　The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means(通讯设备). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution(污染). To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, sell it, drink it and even hear it.

　　Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, men moved to another place. But this is not longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

　　Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.

　　Many countries are making rules(法规) to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal(煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.

　　The pollution of SO₂ is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused(引起) by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

　　The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must keep careful of the rise in population at the same time.

1．Our world is becoming much smaller ________.

A．because the earth is being polluted day and night

　　J. K. Rowling is the writer of Harry Potter, which is now one of the best-sellers in the world.

　　J. K. Rowling was born in Bristol on July 31st, 1965. She has one sister who is two years younger than her. Both girls loved listening to their father reading bedtime stories to them. They especially loved stories about magical worlds. Rowling wrote her first story, called Rabbit, at the age of six.

　　After she graduated from the university, Rowling worked as a translator(翻译者) in London. During this time, on a long train trip in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who has magic but doesn't know it. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter, Jessica, and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June, 1997. To her surprise, the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November, 2001. Now Harry Potter series(系列) is popular with people of all ages and about 60 million books were sold in 200 countries.

He's also a very normal(平常的) boy: polite, friendly, brave and clever. So when other children read about Harry, they can imagine being like him.

　　J. K. Rowling is very happy with the success, and she is now busy finishing the whole series of seven books. She's writing full time and she's really enjoying life. She says she will go on living a normal life with her daughter and writing children's books.
