Environmental Pollution
I read a piece of news recently. It says that in Japan marly businessmen ave selling fresh air to customers.and now it is becoming more and more popular. Why? --Fresh air is getting less and less in Japan, and so is it in the U. S. A.
In fact, environmental pollution is a very serious problem the whole world is facing.
it is mainly caused by the waste products released from artificial substances, industrial
production and increased consumption of goods. Bedsides, the use of chemical substances
in agriculture also causes environmental pollution. Look at the sky, you can see that dense smoke is being released from the high and big chimneys; those dirty and poisonous substances are flowing into the rivers that we use for drinking water and millions of tons of waste products are heaping around us.
How to change this condition? More and more countries are trying to work out some effective means to bring it under control, but no great success has been made.
环境污染
最近我读了一则消息说在日本,许多商人向顾客出售新鲜空气,现在这种情况越演越烈.为什么呢? 因为在日本新鲜空气越来越少,在美国也是如此.
事实上,环境污染是整个世界正在面临的一个严重问题.这主要是由于人造物质,工业生产过程中所产生的废料以及消费商品的增长造成的.另外,在农业中使用化学物品也造成了环境污染.看看天空,你可以看到浓烟从高大的烟囱中释放出来,这些脏而有毒的物质流入我们赖以饮水的河流,数百万吨废物正堆积在我们周围.
怎样改变这种状况呢?越来越多的国家正在试图拟定出一些有效措施控制环境污染,但至今成效不大.
Friends are very important to us. When in trouble, we need friends to offer us en couragement and help. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys. It's hard to imagine life without friendship!
A person should make as many friends as he can. The more friends he has, the more meaningful his life will be. Similarly, a country, too, needs friends. China today, for example, has friends all over the world. With the open policy being successfully carried out, she is certain to make more friends in the future.
However,real friends are not easy to find. That's why we highly value our friend ship with them. False friends also exist. They may have a bad influence on our character and are even worse open enemies. Therefore, it is essential we take care in making friends.
朋友
朋友对我们非常重要.当遇到困难时,我们需要朋友给予鼓励和帮助：获得了成功,我们也需要朋友分享我们的欢乐.没有友谊的生活是难以想象的! 一个人应广交朋友.朋友越多,他的生活将更有意义.同样,一个国家也需要朋友.譬如,今天的中国,朋友遍天下.随着开放政策成功的施行,中国将会有更多的朋友.
然而,真正的朋友却不易寻觅.这就是为什么我们非常珍视朋友之间友谊的原因.假朋友也是存在的,他们对我们的品格有不良影响,甚至是更坏的公开敌人.因
此,根本的问题在于慎重交友.

Music
There are two important kinds of music in the world one is written down and the other is not. Many people earn their living by writing music. They write songs for popstars and music for films and TV plays. They usually write exact instructions how the music is to be played.
Folk music has been passed down from one generation to another. At first it was never written down. Pe pie learnt the songs from their families, relatives, neighbours and friends in the same village. These songs were about country life, the seasons, animals and plants, and about love and sadness in people's lives.
Early performers of music were popular and respected. They used to learn hundreds of songs by heart. On festivals they used to act and sing in praise of heroes who lived long ago. This was at a time when there was no radio, TV or cinema. Many of the country people could neither read nor write. In this way stories were passed on from one person to another. This continues in some countries even today.
In some parts of the world nowadays, you often see musiclans performing in the streets to passers by. They put a cap on the ground in front of them, so that people who like the music can drop coins into it.

文章对音乐的种类以及流传方式作了描述.后两段实际上主要讲述音乐人的情况,似乎多少有些不切主题——音乐本身.此文可作为参考资料.

音乐
世界上的音乐有两大类——一类是写下来的,另一类是没有写下来的.许多人靠写词作曲来谋生.他们给通俗歌星创作歌曲,为电影和电视节目作曲.他们通常还要为如何演奏他们的音乐写出精确的说明.
民间音乐是一代一代地流传下来的.起初从来没有人把它写下来过.人们是从家人、亲戚、村里的邻居或朋友那里学会唱这些歌的.歌词内容是有关乡村生活、季节、动植物以及人的生活中的爱情与忧伤.
早期的音乐演奏家们是深受人们欢迎和爱戴的.他们牢记几百首歌曲.在节日里他们表演并歌颂很久以前的英雄.这是广播、电视或电影出现以前的情形.当时许多乡里人不识字,也不会写字.故事就是用这种方式流传下来的.即使今天,有些国家里还存在这种情况.
现在世界上有些地区,你还可以经常看到音乐家在街头为行人演奏.他们把帽子放在身前的地上,以便喜欢这种音乐的人能把硬币投到帽子里.
