4.Which is the advice given to parents in the text? . A. Buy fewer toys for their children. B. Form good habits for their children. C. Spare some time to play with their children. D. Put some toys away without telling their children. B 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 organismsto 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 sewageand industrial waste . As more detergentis used in the home, so 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. 查看更多
