    Each year millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution caused by cars. It is necessary to find ways to work out the problem of air pollution.

    One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That's what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

    Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that can make people pleased.

    To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and they are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not close down – many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of losing jobs.

    Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.

Dear Mr. Hunt,

    My problem is that I can't get on with my family.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}They fight a lot, and I really don't like it. It's the only communication they have.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} When they argue, it's like a big, black cloud hanging over our home. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}I don't think this is fair. At home I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal?{#blank#}5{#/blank#} 

Sad and Thirteen

    The Internet is becoming more and more popular. It brings us a lot of fun and convenience, 但它也引起一些新的问题。Children like the Internet. They would rather communicate with others online than talk with their parents.

    On the one hand, in my opinion, the Internet brings people closer. On the other hand, 如果我们花太多的时间在网络上， we will have less time with our families and friends in the real world.

    Parents are always staying with us. So why not talk to them face to face when we have problems. If so, I'm sure that we can get on well with our parents.

    Sometimes you feel unhappy. You may forget how great you are. What should you do? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    ◆Do something helpful for someone. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    ◆Look in the mirror and say to yourself. "I am a special person and there is no one like me in the world. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}" It may not sound so good, but it really works!

    ◆Start to write diaries. Turn off the TV the let your imagination（想象力）fly! Write down your thoughts，dreams or anything you want! Writing always helps to express（表达）your feelings.

    ◆Smile! Be friendly to people you meet. Look for the god things in your friends and family. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} We all need our family time. Talk with your mom or dad or maybe even your cousin.

    ◆Learn something new! Have you always wanted to design（设计）your own room or to learn how to swim?   

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} New challenges（挑战）are fun. They can also give you a feeling of satisfaction when you have finished.
