Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets 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. American won't live without cars!
Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be like without a car．However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars．The polluted air does harm to health．
One way to reduce the polluted air is to build a new kind of car．That's what several of the large car factories are trying to do．But to build a clean car is easy to say, but it’s much more difficult to do it.．Progress in this field has been slow．
Another way is to take the place of（取代） the car engine(发动机) by something else．Engineers are now working on some new cars．Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man．
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes in the way many of us live．Americans, for example, have to cut down on 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 without jobs if a car factory closes down．And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业)．
Although cars have brought us a better life, they have also brought us new problems．
Advantage&disadvantage of the cars | ★Cars are very 1. to Americans. If a car factory closes down, lots of workers will be out of work. ★More cars are moving than before. More air pollution is produced by cars. It is 2. to health. |
Problem-solving methods | ★Try to build a new kind of clean cars, though it’s easier 3. than done. ★4. something practical to take the place of the traditional car engineer. ★Change or choose some other 5. ways to reduce the pollution. |

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give a successful speech.
So, you have to give a speech and you’re frightened. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结巴)over words, you talk too long and your listeners feel tired of your speech. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. You can do the following things to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion(场合)? Why are you speaking? Then, collect as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time putting your material in good order so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they help you make your points clearer. Never forget your listeners. Don’t talk over their heads and don’t talk down to them. Respect your listeners. They will enjoy your thoughtfulness.
Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your listeners and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your listeners.
If you follow the simple things, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not confident yet. Give it a try and see what happens.
