Though we cannot see or smell noise pollution, it is still available and affects our environment. Noise pollution happens when noise from human’s activities reaches the harmful limit. Studies have shown that there are direct connections between noise and health including diseases like stress, high blood pressure, language disorder and hearing loss. Noise pollution is believed to have caused thousands of death a year by increasing the rate of coronary heart disease. Underwater noise pollution caused by ships has bad effects on whale’s navigation system and kills other species depending on natural water environment. Wild species have to communicate with louder voice which is believed to have shortened their lifespan. It’s high time to have laws on controlling noise pollution so that we can have a better and quieter living environment for all including human. |

Read the passage and complete the following sentences with ONE or TWO words.
Sadly, at a time when we need more forests, trees are being uprooted at an alarming rate. Deforestation is a rapidly growing problem in areas like Africa, Central and South America. Not only does this mean fewer trees, less cleansing oxygen, and the displacement of the wildlife, deforestation means a dangerous decrease in a natural fighter of global warming - the number one threat to our Earth right now. Removing trees also leads to much drier climates, as trees extract groundwater to release into the air.
Our tropical rainforests, which are crucial to stabilizing the climate and to human survival, are being chopped down at a breakneck pace - one and a half acres of rainforest are lost every second. Humans have already chopped down about 50% of the rainforests that once existed on the planet and at the current rate of destruction, we will completely destroy the rainforests in the next 40 years. If rainforests are so important, why are they being destroyed so carelessly? Short-sighted governments and multi-national logging companies only see the forests as a way to make money by selling timber - they don’t consider the long-term effects.
Luckily, deforestation is an issue that we as individuals can combat. By using recycled paper, we can decrease the need to cut down as many trees and by buying goods made with FSC-certified wood, we can show retailers that we don’t want them to support brands that obtain lumber irresponsibly.
1. Trees are being destroyed at an_________, and problem in areas like Africa, Central and South America is deforestation.
They said, “We haven’t been to the bank for a long time.”
