The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems .One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways ,We see it ,smell it, drink it and even hear it .
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people ,the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people ,When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place, But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious .It’s bad for all living things in the world , but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution, They stop people from burning coal in house and factories in the city. And from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution, It is caused by heavy traffic .We are sure that if there are fewer people driving . there will be less air pollution.

The opera house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the most beautiful in the United States. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.
One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers .They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday. And they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in summer.
The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country， and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera ,Still ,most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities. And all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.
There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather .Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o’clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air ,but because the opera is good , these people come back again wearing warm coats.
