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(不合适的)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,or 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 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(需求)were fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed(吸收)by nature and soon. covered over(恢复), But this is no longer true. The increase of population(人口增长)and the development of industry have changed that. Man is slowly polluting. his environment.
Through the use of poison(农药),mall has polluted land! killing the animal. 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,or is there any hope that we can get rid of(摆脱)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

Here are two stories from different parts of the world. They seem strange but, believe it or not, they re all true!
John Lee was an Englishman who refused to be hanged! In 1884 the police said Lee had killed an old woman who he used to work with. There was nothing to show that Lee had killed the woman. Lee told the police he hadn’t done it, but no one believed him and he was going to be hanged. On the day of the hanging, however, the door in the floor, through which Lee’s body would fall, did not open. They tried three times but each time the door stayed closed, even though it had worked well the day before. In the end they sent Lee back to prison, where he lived for the next twenty-two years. At all times, John Lee said he hadn’t killed the woman, and he believed it was the "hand of God" that had saved him from death by hanging.
The police in Venezuela (委内瑞拉)in South America followed a man home one night. He was the thief they wanted to catch. However, half of his house was standing in Venezuela and the other half was standing in Colombia (哥伦比亚). Venezuela’s neighbor. When the police entered the house, the man ran upstairs to his bedroom, which was in Colombia, and called his lawyer (律师). The Venezuelan police were not allowed to enter Colombia so they could not enter the bedroom. They asked the police in Colombia to help. The Colombian police refused to help because the man’s crime (罪行)was not a crime in Colombia. In the end, the Venezuelan police gave up and went back to the police station
