Fiction is the writing of a story or text that is not true It can be written in the form of either poetry

In Europe, prose fiction began to seriously challenge poetry in the 16th century A Spanish author,Cervantes, wrote Europe's first prose novel in the early 1600s However, longer novels, likeCervantes's Don Quixote, did not become very popular until the 1700s By that time, there were moreprinting presses, and more people knew how to read In addition, more people had money to buy thesebooks Today, the vast majority of fiction is written in prose rather than in poetry

Everyone wants to reduce pollution But the pollution problem is as complicated as it is serious

It is complicated (1) _ much pollution is caused by things that benefit people Forexample, exhaust from automobiles causes a large percentage of all air pollution But the automobilesprovide transportation for millions of people Factories discharge much of material that pollutes air andwater, but factories give employment to a large number of people

Thus, to end or greatly reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many things that(2) _them Most of the people do not want to do that, of course But pollution can begradually reduced in several ways Scientists and engineers can work to find ways to lessen the amount

of pollution that such things as automobiles and factories cause Governments can pass and enforce lawsthat require businesses and (3) _ to stop, or cut down on certain pollutingactivities

Today I'd like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth First, we'll touch on therelationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper atmosphere It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes

Trang 19

The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed Scientists suspect that certainchemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems The chemical

pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer We'll go into that new study more next time

17 Who is the most likely speaker?

A A mechanic B A doctor C A professor D A chemist

18 What is the speaker’s main topic?

A Air-conditioning systems B Ultraviolet light

C The use of spray cans D Fluorocabons and the ozone layer

19 What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?

A Protecting the earth B Providing fluorocabons

C Shielding the sun D Destroying chemicals

20 What is the ozone layer made from?

21 What will the speaker probably discuss next?

A The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion

B How to make air conditioners with fluorocabons

C Harmful effects of ultraviolet light

D The make-up of the ozone layer
