    　　As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without any living things．

    　　Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight．Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms (生物体) to be affected are either plants or plankton．But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures．When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too．In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it's not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river's edge or on the seashore that people realize what is happening．

    　　Where do the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources of sewage (污水) and industrial waste．As more detergent (洗涤剂) is used in the home, more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas．Detergents harm water birds, dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers water-proof．Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need．Industrial waste is even more harmful as there are many highly poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead (铅)．

    　　So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple: sewage and industrial waste must be made clear before flowing into the water．It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once．

    1．Pollution of water is noticed ________．

    [　　]

    A．when the first organisms are affected

    B．when a good many fish and birds die

    C．when poisonous things are poured into water

    2．The living things die because there is no________ in the lake or river．

    [　　]

    A．water
    B．fish
    C．poison
    D．oxygen

    3．Which of the following is harmful according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Organisms．

    B．Plants and plankton in the water．

    C．Waste water from cleaning．

    D．Industrial waste already treated．

    4．The way to stop water pollution is to________．

    [　　]

    A．realize the serious situation

    B．put oxygen into the river

    C．make the waste material harmless before flowing into the water

    D．restrict the use of detergents

    　　When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously(同时的)about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what's happening in their lives．When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up．Men can either talk or watch the screen－they can't do both-and they don't understand that women can．Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships－not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen．

    　　During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going．He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally．Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships．For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose：to build relationships and make friends．For men, to talk is to relate the facts．

    　　Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding．A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours．

    　　There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls'mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys．Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys．Scientific evidence shows parents res the brain bias of their children．Since a girl's brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more．Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply．
