Each year there are an increasing number of cars on roads, as millions of new cars are produced．One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas．Americans couldn’t live without cars!
Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car．However, some have realized the serious problem caused by cars．The polluted air is harmful and dangerous to health．
One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car．That is what several large car factories, are trying to do．But to build the new car is easier said than done．Progress in this field has been slow．
Another way is to replace the car engine with something else．Engineers are working on some new cars．Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases people．
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes．Americans, for example, have to cut down the number of their cars．They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike．Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean．
But this change does not come easily．A large number of workers may find themselves with no jobs if a car factory closes down．And the problem of air would become less important than that of unemployment．
Although cars have brought us a better life, they have also brought us new problems．

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modem traffic and modem 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 problems is pollution．To pollute means to make things dirty．Pollution comes in many ways．We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it．

People all over the world eat rice．Millions of people in Asia, Africa and South America eat it every day．Some people eat almost nothing but rice．
Rice is a kind of grain．There are more than 7000 kinds of rice．Farmers grow rice in many countries, even in the southern part of the United States and in eastern Australia．
No one really knows where rice came from．Some scientists think that it started to grow in two places．They think that one kind of rice grew in southern Asia thousands of years ago, another kind probably grew in West Africa．Other scientists think that rice came from India, and Indian travelers took it to other parts of the world．
People in many countries do all the work hundreds of years ago, but in some countries, people now use machines on their rice farms．
Rice plants can be very useful to people．They can be used to make animal food and rice oil．People also make baskets, brooms and roofs for their houses．They burn dry rice plants for cooking．
