【题目】根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。Pollution
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution （污染）. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's bad to all living things in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog（烟雾）.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away, they mustn't blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

Hi! My name is Robin. I live in a town in the east of Shanghai. Over the last twenty years, great changes have taken place here.

In the past, my hometown was only a small village. There were no tall buildings. But now more and more tall buildings appear and the roads get wider. My father used to work in a small post office. We kept in touch with each other mainly by sending letters. Now we can use telephones, mobile phones, the Internet to contact each other. The world becomes smaller and smaller.

We can find our life more comfortable. We live in big flats. We enjoy milk, vegetables, fruit and meat for meals. We can also enjoy wonderful films and listen to music with MP5 players or mobile phones. In the past, we couldn’t enjoy life like this.

On the other hand, pollution has become a serious problem in our daily life. In the past, there were not many factories. So the water was clean and the air was fresh. However, the water and the air aren’t clean any more, because too many factories have polluted them. The government has taken action to reduce the pollution. Now things have been better.

I am sure my hometown will be more and more beautiful.

Some people have minds that stand out only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索）words and talks in a halting (踌躇的）manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辩地,有说服力地).

Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计)their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.

It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(观察） how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正确的) your judgement is likely to be.
