The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.
The pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is certain that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must be careful of the rise in population at the same time.

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener，” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
( )36.According to the text, living in a “smart” city ________．
A．is not a green way
B．will be far from you
C．will soon become true
D．is completely impossible
( )37.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．A city of the future.
B．A meeting in Songdo.
C．A plan to build a house.
D．A report on public health.
( )38.Which company offers the great mind to build Songdo
A．Cisco. B．IBM.
C．Siemens. D．Microsoft.
( )39.Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ________．
A．drive people out of cities
B．control the world's population
C．develop his own company
D．solve the cities' coming problems
