     The earth is our home; we must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean.
Pollution is a dirty word. To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in
many ways. We see it, smell it, taste it and drink it. Pollution is beginning to threaten (威胁) our health,
our happiness and our life.
     Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and
threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another
place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of clean air, land and water.
There weren't so many people then and their wants were fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed
(吸收) by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of population and the
development of industry(工业)have changed that. Man is slowly poisoning (毒害) his environment.
     Through the use of poison, man has polluted the land, killing the animals. By putting dirty water and
chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water, killing the fish.
     Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.
     Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump (堆存处), or is there any
hope that we can get rid of (摆脱, 除去) the pollution? Luckily, millions of people have been warned of
the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under control.
