Air pollution: the air becomes dirty, sometimes smells bad and the smog appears frequently. Seeing a clear blue sky has become rare.
Water pollution: rivers, lakes and other water areas have become polluted. Animals, including the fish and waterbirds have been affected badly. In some places, the safety of people’s drinking water has become a problem.
Noise pollution: noise is all around us, from highways, railways, airplane traffic and from outdoor construction activities.
Unwanted(不需要的;多余的;不受欢迎的;无用的) or excessive [ k ses v](过分的;过度的) sound can have bad effects on human health and environmental quality.
Light pollution: inappropriate [ n pr pri t] or excessive use of artificial lighting can have serious environmental consequences for humans, wildlife, and the climate.
Our ability to observe stars and other celestial [s lesti l](天空的;天上的) objects is limited by the artificial lighting which wastes energy.

Welcome.
Norgate’s rapid development has had significant(数量相当大的;显著的) environmental costs. Mr Smith, you’ve lived in this city for over 20 years. How would you describe the effects of pollution over that time
SMITH: It’s been awful, really. When I first moved here, the air was fresh, the grass green and the water clear. Then heavy industry factories moved in,
and things became entirely different. I don’t enjoy outdoor activities any more. The river is dirty and smelly. The smog in the air has coloured the sky a smoky(烟似的;烟雾般的;烟灰色的) grey; it’s also given me a cough that I can’t get rid of. For health and safety reasons alone, heavy industry has to go.

HOST: Thank you, Mr Brown. With pollution levels on the rise, the Norgate Environmental Protection Committee is searching for ways to fight the problem. Mrs Archer, what are your thoughts on how to deal with pollution
ARCHER: Well, our committee has a major role to play in maintaining air and water quality. We have to achieve a balance between environmental protection and economic development.
We’ve made environmental policies for businesses[行业;(某一领域的)工作] to observe, like strict clean-up requirements(净化要求). We also work hand in hand with other branches of government to ensure that development strategies are followed in an environmentally friendly way.

However, fighting pollution isn’t just a task for factories and the government. △ It has to be a community-wide effort, and everyone can help by following the golden rule(指导原则;成功准则): reduce, reuse and recycle. For example, you can save energy by taking the bus or the subway, or using the bike-sharing system. 然而,与污染作斗争不仅仅是工厂与政府的任务,应该全社会通力协作,人人都可以通过遵守“减少使用、重复使用、回收利用”这一黄金法则来助力。打个比方,您可以乘坐公交车、地铁,或者使用共享单车来节约能源。
该原则简称为 3R 原则,包括减少使用、重复使用和循环利用三个方面。其中,减少使用要求尽量用高效的方式来达到既定的生产目的或消费目的,从源头上节约资源,减少污染,反对产品的过度包装;重复使用要求制造的产品和包装容器能够被多次使用,选择使用周期较长的高质量产品,抵制一次性用品;循环利用要求物品在完成使用功能后能变成可重新利用的资源,而不是只能作为垃圾填埋。
HOST: Thank you, Mrs Archer, and thanks again to all of our guests. A former UN official once said, “Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth ... these are one and the same fight.” The fortunes of our environment and our economy are inseparable [ n sepr bl] [(与某事物)不可分离的,分不开的].我们的环境与经济的命运休戚与共。

3. Finish part B on page 12.
B. Pollution is a serious problem around the world, and much effort has been put into the fight against it. Do you think things will change significantly in the future Describe what the world will be like 20 years from now.
Possible answer
I predict that the world will be much cleaner and greener in 20 years. First, cars running on traditional fuels will be replaced by those powered by new energies, such as electricity or solar energy. As a result, the effect of greenhouse gases on the climate will be significantly reduced.
Second, almost all reading and writing will be done on computer and phone screens, so people will cut down fewer trees and use less paper. Third, new technologies will be invented to make sure that our daily activities do not have a negative impact on the environment.
