阅读理解

　　In the past man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth and natural resources (n.资源；物力；财力 )seemed to be unlimited. Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this human life on earth will not survive.

　　Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea there will soon be none left. Yet with modern fishing methods(n.方法) more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet we continue to cut down more and more trees. We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste from factories we will die. However in most countries waste is still put into the rivers or the seas and there are few laws to stop this. We know too that if the pollution of the world countries is rising at the present rate in a few years there Will not be enough food. What can we do to solve these problems?

　　If we eat more vegetables and less meat there will be more food useful for everyone. Land that is used to grow crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept.
