True or False. (判断下列句子是否符合短文内容,符合的用“T”表示,不符合的用“F”表示。)

Forest Smith is a member of Green First,
an environmental group.
       Our future on Earth looks very bad. We are
dumping waste on our land. We can't breathe
the air. The sea is polluted too.
       I visited some relatives recently in a small
village. They grow their own food and cycle
everywhere. They are not wealthy, but they are
happy and healthy.
       We must close the factories producing
useless products. That would reduce rubbish and
air pollution. We must recycle more, give up all
cars, and improve public transport.
A big problem is overpopulation in big cities. We
must give up big cities and factories, and get back
to a simple way of life.

John Green is a scientist at a university.
       Things are not as bad as Forest says. We'll
have a bright future. We don't need to give
up cars but we need to invent better, cleaner
engines. 
       This won't stop the problem of traffic
jams. So we need better public transport. We
should also recycle more.
        But some things are getting better. My
sister returned last month after living abroad for
five years. She said, "Our old neighbourhood
doesn't look the same as before-it is cleaner and
greener now."
        Science has brought many improvements.
A hundred years ago, most people died in their 40s.
We can't go back to a life like that.
(     )1. Three experts were asked to give their views on the pollution problems this week.
(     )2. The word "views" here probably means people's ideas or opinions.
(     )3. Both Forest Smith and John Green think they'll have a bright future on the pollution problems.
(     )4. Forest Smith's view on cars and public transport is the same as John Green's.
(     )5. Forest Smith visited some relatives and found they lived a rich, happy and healthy life.
(     )6. John Green's sister said their old neighbourhood looked cleaner and greener than before.
(     )7. The passage mainly tells us something about different kinds of pollution on the earth.

      Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?
      If you do, you need to take control of your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with
people can cause you to lose friends.
      Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written "My Feelings Just Like Wild Animals" to help
you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them.
      The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better.
      Getting angry is not a natural way to act, the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking.
      The book says you can control your anger (怒气) easily?-all you have to do is tell yourself not to be angry.
      When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it.
      Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.
      The book gives many tips(提示) to help you if you get angry easily. Here are our top three:
      1. Keep a record. Every time you get angry write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see
you get angry too easily.
      2. Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.
      3. Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try
to laugh!
(     ) 1. Getting angry with people can cause you to lose friends.
