Each year there is an increasing(增长的） number of cars on roads and streets as millions of cars are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas(汽油）。 Americans won't live without cars!
Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be like without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. The polluted air is poisonous and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of(排除） the polluted air is to build a new kind of car. That's what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine(发动机）by something else. Engineers are now working on some new cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases(使·······高兴）man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean. But this change does not come easily-a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment(失业）.

Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you're good at and what you like, it also means that you d 1 what you're not good at and what you don't like. Both help you to see your aims in life. A 2 all students will be unhappy if they get l 3 marks in a very difficult physics exam. They have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they cannot become engineers or physical scientists. So failing can help a student to live a much h 4 life if he or she learns something from the failing. They may then decide on their aims and c 5 the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.
It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something u 6 you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano, you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really i 7 . in it or you are able to do well. It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You a 8 have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would r 9 be a great pianist but hate the work, forget it.
