I. English is the native or official language on one-fifth of the land area of the world. It is spoken in North
America, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. In South Africa and India it is one of the official languages.
More people study English than any other language. In many countries, the textbooks in universities are in
English. Many university classes are taught in English even though the native language is not English.
English is the language of international communication. It is the language of international business, research,
and science. More than three-fourths of the world's mail is written in English. More than three-fifths of the
worlds radio stations use English. More than half of the scientific and research journals are in English.
Most other languages have borrowed many English words.
Questions:
1. Where , according to the text, is English used as the native language?
2. Why is it necessary for students in many countries to know English?
3. How many mails in the world are written in English?
4. Is English important in science? How do you know?
5. What language have most of the languages in the world borrowed?
II. What time is it ? I dont have enough time. Is it time to go yet ? Hurry up ! Were going to be late.
We talk about time every day. We measure it by the second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, and
century. But what is time ? No one can say exactly what it is. It is one of the greatest mysteries of our lives.
We dont know exactly what time is, but our ability to measure it is very important. It makes our way of life
possible. All the members of a group have to measure time in the same way.
Time lets us put things in a definite order. We know that breakfast comes before lunch. The reading class is
after the writing class. Children cant play until school is over. Time enables us to organize our lives.
The earliest people saw changes around them. They saw day and night, the changes of the moon, and the
seasons. They started measuring their lives by these changes.
Then people started inventing clocks. The Chinese invented a water clock in the eleventh century, but the
Egyptians had them long before that. As water dripped from one container to another, it measured the passing
time.
Questions:
1. Why is time a mystery ?
2. How do we measure time ?
3. Why is our ability to measure time important ?
4. How does time enable us to organize our lives ?
III.
When the early settlers, especially the English, arrived in the New World, the hardships and dangers awaiting
them were totally unexpected. Had it not been for some friendly Indians, the colonists never would have
survived the terrible winters. They knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, building sod houses, or
making clothing from animal skins. Life in England had been much simpler, and this new life was not like what
the Spanish explorers had reported.
Questions:
3

1. What faced the early settlers when they arrived in the New World ?
2. What were the Indians like ?
3. Could the early colonists survive the terrible winters ?
4. What did the Indians teach them ?
5. Where were the early settlers from ?

In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama Canal was
officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile
canal zone instead of travelling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately
eight hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one-tenth
of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its
locks each year.
Questions:
1. When was the Panama Canal officially opened ?
2. In what year was construction probably begun on the canal ?
3. How long is the canal zone ?
4. On the average, how much would it cost a ship to travel around Cape Horn ?
5. How many ships travel through the Panama Canal annually ?
V.
Clocks as we know them were probably developed by very religious people in Europe in the thirteenth
century. They needed to know the exact time so they could pray at the right times. By the 1700s, people had
clocks and watches that were accurate to the minute. Some clocks were beautiful. They had very
complicated moving parts. Some had figures of people or animals that moved on the hour or quarter hour.
Others played music. The movement of the parts is beautiful to watch when you open these clocks.
Questions:
1. Who developed clocks?
2. Why did they develop clocks?
3. When did people have very accurate clocks?
4. Describe some kinds of clocks at that time.
5. What can you see when you open these clocks?

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Frank is now the
head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair
bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1938 he
bought a small work-shop of him own. During the war Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that
time he had two helpers. At the end of the war, the small work-shop became a large factory which employed
seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long
road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair
their sons bicycle.
Questions:
1. What did Frank Hawkins tell me?
2. What does Frank do? What did he use to do?
3. Did he work hard as a boy? What did he buy in 1938?
4. Why did Frank feel happy when remembering his hard early years?

WATER
Water is necessary for sustaining life in plants and animals. Men have always been interested in the nature of
water. At one time, water was considered an element. Most water is derived from ocean directly or indirectly.
Water which New Yorkers use does not come from Hudson River. Water used in New York homes comes from
large reservoirs. Water in these reservoirs is purified. However, absolutely pure water is probably unknown.
Lake water is relatively pure, especially in the mountainous regions. Most people think spring water is pure.
However, water which comes from spring sometimes contains large amounts of two types of salt. Therefore,
water in your springs should be analyzed.
1. What is the importance of water?
2. How is water which New Yorkers use?
3. Is there absolutely pure water in the world?
4. What should people do to spring water?
II.
Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A
little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language. Human beings
have been writing ( as far as we can tell from surviving evidence ) for at least 5,000 years, but they have been
talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings.
When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even today
there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to
8

write: any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk; a normal
human being can not be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write:
in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who
speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of
those skills do so only imperfectly.
To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to say that the latter is of little importance. One
advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and make possible the records that any
civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human writing makes us civilized.
Questions :
1. What is more real than speech ?
2. How long have human beings had speech ?
3. Do all spoken languages in the world have their written forms ?
4. Can a normal human being learn to write without trying ?
III.
One year Miss Wyatt decided to have a holiday in Italy. She did not speak much Italian, but wherever she
went, she was fortune enough to find people who knew enough English to be able to understand what she
wanted, until one day she decided to have lunch in a charming little restaurant in a village in the south of Italy.
She had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another village nearby and thought they would taste
very good, so when the waiter came to take her order, she inquired whether she could have some mushrooms
for her meal, but she had great difficulty in explaining to him because she did not know the Italian word for
mushrooms. At last she took out a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom. The waiters face brightened at
once, and he hastened out to the kitchen. A minute later he returned, carrying an umbrella.
Questions :
1. Why did Miss Wyatts poor knowledge of Italian not interfere with her enjoyment of her holiday most of the
time ?
2. Where did she have trouble in making herself understood ?
3. Why did she think she would like some mushrooms ?
4. How did she try to show the waiter what she wanted ?

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other things
from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small. One day when Louis was
three years old, he was cutting some leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye. Louis soon
became completely blind.
When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the Blind in Paris. One day his class went
to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis. It
showed messages in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no one else can read them. The captain
wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper.
Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so blind people could read
with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis used a
cell of six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down.
There are 63 possible arrangements of the dots in the Braille system. Each arrangement stands for one
letter, punctuation mark, or number. He also used his system to write music. Louis Braille invented this system
when he was only fifteen years old.
Blind people can also write Braille. They use a special kind of pen to make the dots.
Questions :
1. What was Louis Brailles place of birth?
2. How did he become blind?
3. What gave him the idea for the Braille system?
4. How old was he when he invented the Braille system?
5. Are there raised letters in the Braille system?

THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
Scientists say that something very serious is happening to the Earth. It will begin to get warmer in the 1990s.
There will be major changes in climate during the next century. Coastal waters will have a higher temperature.
This will have a serious effect on agriculture. In northern areas, the growing season will be ten days longer by
the year 2000. However, in warmer areas, it will be too dry. The amount of water could decrease by fifty
percent. This would cause a large decrease in agricultural production.
World temperatures could increase two degrees centigrade by the year 2040. However, the increase could
be three times as great in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. This would cause the ice sheets to melt and raise
the level of the oceans by one or two metres. Many coastal cities would be under water.
Why is this happening ? There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the air. When oil, gas, and coal burn,
they create large amounts of carbon dioxide. We send five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
every year. This amount will double in fifty years. This carbon dioxide lets sunlights enter the earths
atmosphere and heat the earth. However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space.
It is like a blanket. The heat can pass from the sun through the blanket to warm the earth. The heat stays there
and can not escape through the blanket again.
Scientists call this greenhouse effect. A greenhouse is a building for growing plants. It is made of glass or
clear plastic.
QUESTIONS
1. What is a greenhouse ?
2. What causes the greenhouse effect ?
3. Why do scientists call this the greenhouse effect ?

The controversy surrounding the relationships between and roles of men and women is, perhaps, one
of the features of the second half of the twentieth century in Western societies. In the United States of
America, for example, both sexes are, more or less aggressively, demanding freedom from the
constraints of traditional attitudes towards the roles of the sexes and marriage. The impact of this can
be seen in the rising divorce rate, falling birth rate and the increasing number of couples living
together without a marriage license.
It is perhaps interesting to speculate on the future roles of men and women. In developed
countries, if the advent of the silicon chip leads to mass unemployment and a revolutionized attitude
towards work and leisure, what will be the effect on, for example, women who at present express their
equality with men primarily through their work; if oil, coal and gas run out and alternative energy
sources can not take up the slack in domestic supplies, what effect will this have on the roles of men
and women in domestic life ? In developing societies, how will increasing exposure to Western
society ( through the media and travel ) and improved technology affect the role of women ? One can
obviously guess at the answers, but what do you think or hope will happen ?
Questions :
1. What is one of the features of the 20th century in the Western societies ?
2. Are American men and women still happy with their traditional role in the family ?
3. How can women express their equality with men ?
4. How are developing countries exposed to Western societies ?
II.
In societies where people tend to live together in extended family groups, - consisting of
grandparents, great uncles and aunts, parents, aunts and uncles, children and cousins, for example care of both young and old is the natural function of the group. The State is only needed when the
efficiency of the group breaks down, because of illness or poverty, for example. In Britain, however,
people tend to live in nuclear family groups ( parents and children only ), with the result that the care
of the old is a social problem and the State needs to intervene. What is more, if the relationship
between husband and wife breaks down, the children are immediately at risk, and State intervention
13

may be necessary for them too. Where parents do care for their children, however, they usually take
their responsibilities very seriously.
The British population is already one of the oldest in Europe, and it is slowly getting older. In 1990
the median age in Britain was thirty-six but it will rise to forty-one by 2020. At the end of the 1990s the
number of pensioners will begin to rise rapidly, and the workforce will shrink. One result will be that by
2020 there will be twice as many people aged eighty-five or over as in 1990. A disproportionate
number of the old, incidentally, choose to retire to the south coast and East Anglia, creating regional
imbalances.
Questions :
1. What is an extended family ?
2. What is a nuclear family ?
3. Who takes care of the young and old in an extended family ?

down

During the teenage years, many people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike
being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal
development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming
independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually
15

more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because
people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons or daughters about schoolwork and future plans
but should not push them to talk if they dont want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs:
some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents
need to watch for any signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if
necessary.
QUESTIONS :
1. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to ?
2. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual ?
3. Why may some teenagers experiment with drinking and smoking ?
4. What should parents do if they notice any signs of their childrens unusual behaviour?

I knew it was going to be a bad day when, on the way to the airport the taxi-driver told me he was
lost.
I had booked my flight over the telephone, so when we finally arrived, I had to rush to the
reservation desk to pay for my ticket. The woman at the desk told me that my name was not on the
passenger list. It took fifteen minutes for her to realize that she had spelled my name incorrectly. She
gave me the ticket and told me I'd better check in my luggage quickly or I'd miss my flight.
I was the last person to get on the plane.
I found my seat and discovered that I was sitting next to a four-year-old boy who had a cold. I sat
down and wondered if anything else could go wrong.
I hate flying, especially take-off, but the plane took off and everything seemed to be all right. Then,
a few minutes later, there was a funny noise and everything started to shake.
I looked out of the window and- oh my God- there was smoke coming out of the wing. All I could
think was 'The engine is on fire. We are going to crash, I am too young to die'.
Almost immediately, the captain spoke to un in a very calm voice "Ladies and gentlemen. This is
your captain speaking. We are having a slight technical problem with one of our engines. There is no
need to panic. We will have to return to the airport. Please remain seated and keep your seat belts
fastened."
A few minutes later, we were coming in to land. The pilot made a perfect landing on the runway. It
was over. We were safe. That day, I decided not to fly again. I caught another taxi and went home.
But as I closed the front door, I looked down at my case. Somehow I had picked up the wrong
suitcase.
Questions :
1. There was nothing wrong with her on the way to the airport.
2. She was in a great hurry at the airport.
3. It took her about fifteen minutes to get her ticket.
4. She was happy to sit next to a four-year-old boy who had a cold.
5. A few minutes after the plane had taken off, its engine was on fire.
6. The plane had to come back to the airport.

Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869, and was sent to England in 1888 where he studied law. When he
graduated he took a job in South Africa where he first began to struggle against injustice. The South
Africans looked down upon non- Europeans, and the black, white and Indian people were kept
separate. Gandhi developed his policy of non- violent passive resistance to authority, and was
imprisoned several times.
In 1914 he went back to India. He believed that the end of British colonial rule was inevitable, and he
struggled for independence.
16

Gandhi was so against violence that once he decided to fast unless the fighting stopped. He spent
several periods in prison, but always looked forward to an end to British rule, and to a united India
where Hindus and Moslems could live together in peace.
Questions:
1. When did Gandhis struggle against injustice begin ?
2. What policy did he set up for his struggle ?
3. What was an example of his anti-violence viewpoint ?
4. Did he want the Hindus and the Moslems to live separately ?

The human race is spread all over the world, from the polar regions to the tropics. The people of
which it is made up eat different kinds of food, partly according to the kind of food which their
countries produced. Thus, in India, people live chiefly on different kinds of grain, eggs, milk, or
sometimes fish and meat.
In Europe, people eat more flesh and less grain. In the Arctic regions ,where no grain and fruits are
produced, the Eskimo and other races live almost entirely on flesh , especially fat. The man of one
race is able to eat the food of another race, if they are brought into the country inhabited by the latter.
But as a rule, they still prefer their own food, at least for a time. In warm climates flesh and fat are not
much needed, but in the Arctic regions they seem to be very necessary for keeping up the heat of the
body.
Questions:
1. What kind of food do they eat in Europe?
2. Why are flesh and fat needed in the Arctic regions?
3. What does the word latter refer to?

SECONDHAND SMOKE
Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes
many kinds of diseases. In fact, many people who smoke get lung cancer. However, Edward Gilson has lung
cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of
cigarettes a day throughout their marriage. The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.
No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless, doctors believe that secondhand
smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke. Nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from
other peoples cigarettes. This is secondhand smoke. Edward Wilson has been breathing this type of smoke
for 35 years. Now he is dying of lung cancer. However, he is not alone. The US. Environmental Protection
Agency reports that about fifty-three thousand people die in the United States each year as a result of
exposure to secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past,
scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmokers health. Recently, though, scientists
changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers. They discovered that even nonsmokers
had unhealthy amounts of these toxic chemicals in their bodies. As a matter of fact, almost all of us breathe
tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not. For example, we can not avoid secondhand smoke in
restaurants, hotels, and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke
flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted.
It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. In the United States, nine million children under
the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker. Research shows that these children are sick more often
than children who live in homes where no one smokes. The damaging effects of secondhand smoke on
children also continue as they grow up. The children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung
cancer when they are adults as children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes
where both parents smoke.
People are becoming very aware of the danger of secondhand smoke. As a result, they have passed laws
that prohibit people from smoking in many public places. Currently, 45 states in the United States have laws
that restrict, or limit, smoking. The most well-known law forbids people to smoke on short domestic airline
flights, i.e., flights within the country.
After smoking for most of her life, Evelyn Gilson has finally quit. She feels that if more people know about the
dangers of secondhand smoke, they will stop, too. Her decision comes too late to help her husband. However,
there is still time to protect the health of others, especially children, who live with smokers.

Questions:
1. What may be a reason why Edward Wilson has lung cancer ?
2. What is secondhand smoke ?
3. Why might secondhand smoke harm nonsmokers ?
4. What are some laws that prohibit smoking in certain places ?
5. What is the main idea of this passage ?

The general opinion abroad is that London has fog or rain or both, everyday of the year, but on the day that I
arrived it was fine and warm, there was a bright sun and a cloudless sky. The next day it was just as
beautiful; there was a slight wind that gently moved the leaves on the trees, and you could smell the
spring in the air. Life is grand, I thought as I walked in Kensington Gardens. It was a straight road and I
found the way quite easily. When I got my first sight of the Gardens the beauty of it nearly took my
breath away. The trees were just bursting into leaf, fresh and green and lovely, and there were beds of
spring flowers, red and yellow and blue, in the beautiful, smooth grass under the trees.

There are people whose immortality begins from the moment of their death. Hemingway is one of them. He
was a great man. The whole of his creative work was a long struggle, for Hemingway, the man and the writer,
had many enemies. Perhaps his great enemy was war. He hated it with all his heart, with his whole body, in
which 28 bullets had left their traces.
Hemingway hated those who made business of war. In an introduction to his novel A Farewell To Arms,
Hemingway said that wars started by people who profited from them, and he suggested that those warlike
people should be shot on the very first day of war, by sentence of the people. Hemingway hated fascism. He
never surrendered. He fought against it with the pen and the sword.

A World Health Organization team investigating the deadly SARS virus says it is possible there is more than
one cause of the illness. The group, which is meeting with experts in southern China, says it has found
evidence that both the bacteria chlamydia and the coronavirus could be sources of Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome. Chlamydia is normally transmitted sexually, and the coronavirus is commonly found in animals.
Scientists believe SARS originated in China's Guangdong province, and are racing to find its cause so they
can develop a cure.
21

On Friday, China issued a public apology for the way it handled early information about the epidemic. The
head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control, Li Leming, admitted there was poor communication between
China's medical departments and mass media in providing timely information about the disease.
SARS has claimed at least 85 lives worldwide, about half of them in China. More than 2500 people are infected
in 18 countries. On Saturday, Hong Kong reports 39 new cases of SARS and three more deaths from the
disease.
Malaysia said on Saturday that a man who died six days ago was probably the country's first known victim of
SARS. Malaysian officials say the 64-year-old man, who died in a Kuala Lumpur hospital on Sunday, last
visited China and Singapore last month.
Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines are among 14 places where suspected cases have been reported, but
do not appear in WHO statistics. Because the disease is being carried around the world by travelers, many
governments are advising citizens against visiting affected areas. In the Asia-Pacific region in particular,
governments are imposing strict quarantines and urging citizens to wear face masks.
Questions:
1. According to WHO experts, what could be the sources of SARS ?
2. Where was SARS believed to come from ?
3. How many Chinese people died of SARS ?

A tiny village school is soon to celebrate its 110 th birthday . Five years ago it seemed certain to close but
parents and other villagers fought the local education authority and raised funds to keep it open. It is now
ending its first term as a school run by the village community and the villagers are proud of their
achievement.
They were furious when education chiefs tried to make them send the village children to other schools
further away because the number of pupils at the village was too small. The villagers started a huge
campaign to raise money. They collected enough to hire a teacher and begin to help with school
cleaning, lunch supervision and lessons. Now the school is doing well and it seems as if it will continue to
run in the future.
Questions :
1. What effect would the closure of the school have had on the village children ?
2. Where did the parents get the money they needed to keep the school open ?
3. When did the village school first open ?
4. What was the reason for the intended closure of the school ?

If you were to stop people in the street and ask them to name a ship that had been sunk, it is likely that
nearly all of them would say the Titanic. For the sinking of the Titanic was, if not the most tragic, certainly the
most famous sea disaster in the history of ocean travel.
The Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and a great deal of publicity
had surrounded it. The last point probably explains why so many important people from all walks of life were on
the boat when it went down.
The Titanic was on its maiden voyage to America in 1912 when it struck an iceberg and sank. Of its 2,300
passengers, more than two-thirds were drown. Because the Titanic was thought to be virtually unsinkable, no
one was prepared for the tragedy. There was total panic as very few of the passengers had bothered to learn
the necessary drill in the event of trouble. There was severe shortage of lifeboats. The one point of calm was to
be found in the ballroom when the band carried on playing right to the very end.

Recently the World Health Organization announced that the disease of smallpox had almost been wiped out
in most parts of the world, thanks to widespread vaccination. Most people are vaccinated at least once in their
lives and if they wish to travel from one country to another they must be able to show a certificate proving that
they have had a recent vaccination. In this way the disease has been prevented from spreading and today one
seldom hears of it at all.
This is mainly due to the remarkable discovery made by a country doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798
when he published an account of his experiments in a new method called vaccination ( from the Latin word
vacca meaning a cow ). Jenner discovered that people who worked with cattle, like milkmaids and cowmen,
were often infected with a harmless disease called cowpox which they caught from the cattle; but these people
never seemed to get smallpox. So he experimented by making a scratch on the arms of healthy people
infecting them with cowpox, and though their arms became sore for a day or two, they soon healed and none
of these people ever got smallpox.
Soon the news of the wonderful discovery spread abroad and people rushed to their doctors to be
vaccinated. In America, at Gibraltar, in Spain, Egypt and China the simple scratch of the arm was performed on
thousands of people, and the terrible smallpox began to disappear.
Questions:

Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age. At a swimming
pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk.
Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water. It is not long before they are so
accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popular
with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven
feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their
tricycles but most of them prefer to push or drag them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool
without coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time
will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who can not swim five yards before they are
gasping for air.
Questions :
1. At what age can children be taught to swim ?
2. Are children of two months old willing to enter the water ?

Environmental pollution is a term that refers to all the ways by which man pollutes his surroundings. Man
dirties the air with gases and smoke, poisons the water with chemicals and other substances, and damages
the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. Man also pollutes his surroundings in various other ways.
Besides, people ruin natural beauty by junk and litter on the land and in the water. They operate machines and
motor vehicles that fill the air with disturbing noise.
Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing mankind today. Air, water, and soil are
necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness and even death. Polluted water
26

kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reduces the amount of land that is available for growing food.
Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to mans naturally beautiful world.

The Nobel Prizes, awarded annually for distinguished work in chemistry, physics, physiology or

Swedish philanthropist, Alfred Bernhard Nobel. The prizes, awarded since 1901, are administered by the Nobel
Foundation in Stockholm. In 1969, a prize for economics endowed by the Central Bank of Sweden was added.
Candidates for the prizes must be nominated in writing by a qualified authority in the field of competition.
Candidates are judged by Swedish and Norwegian academies and institutes on the basis of their contribution
to mankind. The awards are usually presented in Stockholm on December 10, with the King of Sweden
officiating, an appropriate tribute to Alfred Nobel on the anniversary of his death. Each prize includes a gold
medal, a diploma and a cash award of about one million dollars.
Questions:
1. Which organization administers the Nobel Prizes ?
