Is the world really going mad? 26 day I was sitting in a restaurant 27 a quick drink and a talk with a few friends when I suddenly 28 that almost everyone in the restaurant was smoking. It wasn’t long 29 the whole room was 30 with smoke. I asked with an apology for permission(允许) to 31 a window to stop myself 32 !
Nowadays air pollution is something that hardly question any more. However, I still can’t walk down the street in any of the big cities without 33 that people are 34 from the air pollution. It is time for the government departments of the world to introduce emission(废气排放) controls on all cars and 35 the public transport system to encourage people to 36 their cars at home. A friend of mine takes flying lesson each morning and it really makes him 37 when he climbs above the smog layer(烟雾层) and looks down 38 it and thinks: “I’m breathing that!” This kind of 39 results from the bad management of resources. Waste things can 40 should, be treated properly. Road construction, House 41 , and industrial development are all earthmoving(earth-reducing) operations and can change the balances of 42 created over millions of years. I would like to 43 serious studies done on all these main works before they are built. Also, there should be 44 national parks set up to keep the most beautiful parts of countries in their natural 45 .
