B. READING

Read the passage carefully and 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.

Now you can strengthen the thin green line; you can make your voice heard in

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

making waves.
