Our environment is being polluted faster. Man’s present efforts cannot prevent it .Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities and the growing use of man-made materials.

What can explain and solve this problem ?The fact is that pollution is caused by man ----by his desire(欲望) for a modern way of life. We make “industrialization(工业化)”our main aim. So we seem to be ready to give up everything: clear air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. Large numbers of people are moving from the countryside into the cities, looking forward to the modern life. But as our world has developed so fast in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.

Isn’t it time for us to stop to ask ourselves where we are going-----and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who was heard over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re flying at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when we talk about our modern society.(社会)

(1)你最喜欢什么颜色?Do you like yellow, orange and red? You do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like gray and blue?

You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. (2) A __________ They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. (2) B __________ A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. (3)Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have few accidents when their machines are painted(漆)orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a new colourful thing. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like or dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character( 性格)when you choose something in different colours.
