Supp
10、ly for the needs of the people leads to further pollution by industry. If the rapid increase in human population continues at the present rate, there may be much greater harm. Some scientists speak of the increase in numbers of people as “population pollution“.About 2,000 years ago, the world popula
11、tion was probably 250 million. It reached a billion in 1850. By 1930, the population was two billion. It was three and a half billion in 1988. It is expected to double by the year 2000. If the population continues to grow at the same rate, there would be 25 billion people in the world a hundred year
12、s from now!Man has been using the earths resources more and more rapidly over the years. Some of them are almost gone. Now many people believe that mans greatest problem is how to control population, in time to come, if the present rate of increase continues. Already there is overcrowding in the cit

The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over th
17、e water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of
18、your questions. If we ask, “why is the ocean full of salt?“ Scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and then into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the oc
19、ean. But then we ask, “what happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year.“ Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.25 The main idea of the passa
