The earth is our home；we must take Care of it. This means keeping the land，air and water   clean.
Pollution is a dirty word. To pollute means to make things unfit(不合適的)or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it，smell it，taste it and drink it. Pollution is beginning to threaten(威脅)our health，or happiness and our life.
Man. has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire，washed his clothes in the river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty. Men moved to another place. At first the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of clean air，land and water. There weren't so many people then and their wants(需求)were fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed(吸收)by nature and soon. covered over(恢復)， But this is no longer true. The increase of population(人口增長)and the development of industry have changed that. Man is slowly polluting. his environment.
Through the use of poison(農藥)，mall has polluted land! killing the animal. By putting dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water，killing the fish.
Our increasing population is part of the. problem. More people more waste.
Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump，or is there any hope that we can get rid of(擺脫)the pollution ?Luckily，millions of people have been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening my sisters and I went out and picked up four people from the street. One of them  31  a most terrible condition. I told my sisters, "You  32  the other three. I take care of this one who looks  33 .”So I did for her all that my love can do.I  34  her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she   35  ‘'Thank you" and then she died. I could not help but examined my heart before her. I asked myself  36  I would say if I was in her place. My answer was very simple.1 would say I was hungry, cold, homeless, and I was dying, or something else, but she gave me her  37  love. Then she died with a smile on her face.
I am going to try to make a home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor, I think that  38  love will spread(延伸、撒開)．Through this love we will be able to bring peace to the poor. So let us always meet  39  with a smile, for the smile is the  40  of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally, we will do something for others.

There are about 80,000,000 mines*  under the ground in more . than 60 countries. It is difficult and dangerous to clear these rnines, About 50  people including many children were’ killed ‘or htirt each iay.  In 2003,  APOPO,  a Dutch research com pan y that uains the an imals, came up with the-idea of s\ng rats to search for the mines.
The animal trainers ‘found that a kind of rats from Africa were clever and had.a sharp*  sense of smell.  The rats were about 75 cm long and.weighed about l.35 kg, light enough to run across a minefield without setting off the mines.
In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4-week-old baby rats get familiar with humans. A few weeks later, the rats were no Ionger afraid of people and ‘the things around them. Then they were trained to connect a click* sound with food. After the rats had leamed that, the trainers then taught them to tell the difference between the smell of mines and other smells. When the rats could do it, the click was sounded and they were given a bit of banana.  The method was called clicker training. “The training isn’t easy, said trainer Abdullah Mchomvu. “You have to be patient. Sometimes I get angry, but then again, I tell myself these are animals.”
After nine months’  training, the rats were taken to a minefiel山  They’ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and scratched the ground to tell the deminers*  that they smelt out’a mine.  Then the mine was cleared. It had  taken two ‘deminers  a day to clear a 200㎡ . minefield,  but with the help of two rats ‘they could finish it in two hours.
The rats and ~he deminers saved thousands of lives, “The rats did this job much better than we expected. So far they have helped to make almost 2,000,000㎡ of land safe. They are heroes,” said Bart Weeqens, the head of the APOPO.
