B. READING
Read the passage carefullyand choose the correct answer.
The natural world is under violent assault from man. The seas and rivers are
being poisoned by radioactive wastes, by chemical discharges and by the dumping
of dangerous toxins and raw sewage. The air we breathe is polluted by smoke and
fumes from factories and motor vehicles; even the rain is poisoned.
It's little wonder forests and lakes are being destroyed and everywhere wildlife
is disappearing. Yet the destruction continues. Governments and industries
throughout the world are intensifying their efforts to extract the earth's mineral
riches and to plunder its living resources. The great rainforests and the frozen
continents alike are seriously threatened. And this despite the warnings of the
scientific community and the deep concern of millions of ordinary people.
Despite the fact, too, that we can create environmentally-clean industries,
harness the power of the sun, wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the
finite resources of the Earth in a way that will safeguard our future and protect all
the rich variety of life forms which share this planet with us. But there is still hope.
The forces of destruction are being challenged across the globe - and at the
spearhead of this challenge is Greenpeace.
Wherever the environment is in danger, Greenpeace has made a stand. Its
scientific presentations and peaceful direct actions at sea and on land have shocked
governments and industries into an awareness that Greenpeace will not allow the
natural world to be destroyed. Those actions, too, have won the admiration and
support of millions.

defense of the living world by joining Greenpeace today. Thank God someone's
making waves.
