　　    I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the Jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper 　　 1 that you could buy tickets at the 2　　 box office in Richland Hills 3 day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 o'clock to 5:30, the 4 time I could go to the　　 theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. 5 the theater is on the　　 6 side of the town, and the bus 7 between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But 8 you are lucky, you can make the 　　 9 trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for 　　 10 minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come 　　 11 the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I 　　 12 and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and 13 , on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck 　　 14 . I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theater in 15 　　 twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a 16 line of people　　 at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. 17 I would not have enough time to 　　 18 in line, I caught the next bus and headed back 19 the town. By Friday I realized my only 20 was to make the trip by taxi. It was 　　 21 but I felt it would be worth it to 22 the concert. The trip by taxi only 23 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the 24 , I was relieved to　　 see 25 was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold　　 all the tickets.

It is the year 3000. I come to a place where I can’t see any water, plants or animals but black clouds in the sky and sand everywhere. It’s very dry so I drink some water that I carry with me. A native sees what I do and asks “What is it?” I pour some water and tell him it’s called water. “Oh, I’m so lucky that I can see water” the man shouts in an excited voice. “You have never seen water? But how can you live without water? ” I ask. “Harry, get up, it is 7 o’clock, or you will be late!” a voice comes to my ears. “Oh! What a strange dream I dreamed just now!” In class, I always think of that dream. And I also think of the fresh air, clean water, blue sky, green plants and animals in our world nowadays. How beautiful our life is! But in order to make more money, people have built more and more factories. These factories send out waste smoke and water with chemicals which are harmful to the environment. The pollution is becoming worse and worse, and as a result, some animals and plants die out. With the development of agriculture, farmers spray aerosol and fertilizer, which also pollute the water and air. In the street the cars and buses are sending out heavy smoke which pollutes the air badly. Even tourism is harmful to the environment. When some tourists travel somewhere, they throw the plastic bags and rubbish onto the ground. These behaviors are polluting the environment and the environment will become the greatest problem of the world. We shouldn’t pollute the environment any more. Otherwise more and more animals and plants will disappear. And maybe my dream will come true in the future. 1. .In the place I come to, I can’t see _______. A. plants 　　　 B. man 　　　　　　 C. clouds　 　　　　 D. sand. 2. From the passage we can infer Harry is the name of _____. A. a dog 　　B. one of the author’s friends　 C. the author’s sister 　D. the author 3. The author ____ the environment of the future. A. is satisfied with 　　　 B. is worried about 　 C. is angry about　 　　　D. has an optimistic attitudes towards 4. From the passage, we can conclude ____ is the cause of the polluted environment. A. cars and buses 　　 B. fertilizer　 　 C. tourism 　　　D. man
