Time is bringing us more people, and more pe
23、ople will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. What can explain and settle this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man by his desire for a modem way of life. We make “increasing industrialization“ our first aim. So we can often re
24、ady to offer everything:clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant(不断的 ) flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the achievements of our modem society. But as our technological (技术的 ) achievements have grown in the last twe

A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline, production limits have been laid down, and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number
30、 of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the government will be able to hold things back for long.

31、e past few years this program has had a great deal of success. Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry . But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
32、 The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however.

A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 peopl
37、e. The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor. The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in fifty-metre high outer wall. The flats would all face in
38、wards, and would be made of concrete and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this water the lake. The water inside this man-made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more buildings; a ho
39、spital, two theaters, a museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water. People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution f
40、rom the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies.
