　　In the 1940's, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres(英亩)of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950's, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage(垃圾). Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(处理). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped(倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗、漏) back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.

　　Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100——150 miles upstream(在上游), big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.

　　Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution.
