34、ns smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe . In the late 1800s, the Turks made cigarettes popular.Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco burns, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is

One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in ma

41、ny ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another pla

42、ce. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious.

49、ip to the local library and searched for articles on globing warming, youd probably come up with a few from the leading magazines in the world. As an Internet search on global warming now shows, the subject has become as rooted in peoples mind as Madonna or microwave cooking.With the possible except

50、ion of another world war, a giant planet, or an incurable disease, global warming may be the largest danger to our planet. For decades human factories and cars have sent billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming. If steps are no

51、t taken soon to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere, the result could terribly affect human life.

The entire population would have to be moved away as the country disappears under the sea.The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon that keeps our planet at a comfortable temperature averaging 60F. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased nearly 30% because of the increased use of fossil fuels to
