In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment．There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be enough.

　　 Today things are　 36　 , the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we keep doing this, human life on the earth 　 37　 survive(生存）.

　　 Everyone realizes today that if 　 38　 fishes are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing ways, more and more fishes are caught. We know that if lots of trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the earth. Yet we　 39　 to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down trees.

　 We realize that if rivers 　 40　 with waste products from factories, fish will die.　 41　 , in most countries wastes are still put into rivers or into the sea.

We know, too, that if the　 42　 of the world keep on rising at the present rate, in a few years there will not be enough food. What can we do to solve these problems? If we eat 　 43　 , there will be more food for everyone．Land that is used to grow crops feeds　 five times more people than land where animals are kept．

　 Our natural resources will　 44　 longer if we learn to recycle them．

　 Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner　 45　 in the future.

It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

I really only meant it as a joke.   I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.

My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹噓) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download (下載) the newest 41 off the internet. "Then he 42 everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 43 .

44 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like 45 , so we had to crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 46 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous (嫉妒).

But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 47 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I 49 wanted to see his reaction (反應(yīng)). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.

But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 50 and almost mad. He started accusing (指責(zé)) different people of 51 his phone, but I had it in my 52 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 53 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They 54 got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to 55 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?
