READING

Part 1 Read the passage Then check () the boxes

Everyone wants to reduce pollution, but the problem isn’t as easy as we think Much

pollution is caused by things that serve (1) people in daily life For example, exhaust fume (2)

automobiles causes approximately 37% of air pollution But the automobile provides transportation for millions of people Many factory owners are guilty of pollutant release into air and water Some factories owners let waste and chemicals run directly into the rivers which then

lead to the sea This not only pollutes water but also kills sea creatures But the authorities (3) can’t close these factories because they give employment (4) to a large number of people.

Therefore, to reduce pollution, people would have to stop using many things they often use Most of us don’t want to do that We can’t clean up our polluted environment overnight but we stop adding the problem while scientists search for answer
