Question

   Some cars do not run the way they should. Bad smoke from a car's engine (发动机) can get into the air. This bad smoke is called pollution. Pollution can turn the air gray and is very dirty.

   In order to keep pollution down,California has passed a new law which means all cars have to take a test every two years. This test checks to make sure that the cars do not pollute the air. If a car does not pass the test,the owner can't register it. Some car owners drive their cars,even though they don^ pass the test. This is against the law.

   The state wants to find a way to get these cars off the road. A program was started that seemed to work. This program buys cars that can't pass the test or will help pay for repairs,but the cars must be drivable and the owner can't make over a certain amount of money. This program has been helping a lot of people by giving them money to help buy better cars or by allowing them to fix their old ones. It has also been helping to keep pollution down.
