What is an important goal for some developing countries?答案:Economic growth解析 6-10 Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North A

10、merica. It is an extremely serious problem in some developing countries. For these countries, economic growth is a very important goal. They want to attract new industries, and so they put few controls on industries which cause pollution. Cubatao, an industrial town of 85,000 people in Brazil, is an

11、 example of the connection between industrial development and pollution. In 1954, Cubatao had no industry. Today it has more than twenty large factories, which produce many pollutants. The people of the town are exposed to a large number of poisonous substances in their environment, and the conseque

12、nces of this exposure can be clearly seen. Birth defects are extremely common. Among children and adults, lung problems are sometime twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places. It is true that Brazil, like many other countries, has laws against pollution, but these laws are not enforce

13、d strictly enough. It is cheaper for companies to ignore the laws and pay the fines than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution. It is clear, therefore, that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers. However, the responsibility does

14、 not completely lie with the Brazilian government. The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way, either.

28、 what he wants. But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important.
