People in different countries use different ways to express themselves. We are taught “How are you? I’m fine, thank you. And you?” And nearly every student can remember it very well. But in the US, people say “how are you?” instead of “And you?” Because people want to be polite. The problem is that this is still too formal. People say “Hi! How is it going?” or “Hey! What’s up?” or “Never better.” Or “Hello! How are you doing?”, and so on. Between close friends, people often answer “Busy,” or “Tired”. Or “Barely.” That means they are telling you the truth.
However, Americans use “so-so” just when they talk about food, drink, or and activity or party instead of using it in other ways. For example “What about the food and drinks?” “It was just so-so.” This cannot be used to describe personal(个人的)things. If so, “Not bad” is often sued．
When close friends thank you for your help, they say “Thanks.” Or “Thanks a lot.” Or “I appreciate it.” Or “That’s very kind of you.” And then what can we answer? We can say “All right.” or “Any time.” Or “Don’t mention it.” or My pleasure.” or “Sure(应该的).”
So when we communicate(交流)with each other, we’d better speak idiomatic(地道的)English so that we can make our conversation easier.

In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). 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)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, 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. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.

D．Industrial growth and progress have resulted in the pollution of Crafton City's water, air, and soil.
(2)According to the passage, what portion of the park had originally been marked for use as a garbage dump?
[ ]
A．Less than half B．Exactly half
C．About one third D．Most of it
(3)As it is used in the passage, the phrase“for good”means ________.
[ ]

[ ]
A．the land became unsafe for humans
