This clearly was going to be a long night.She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its wind-shield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver."I just can't leave you here, "she said. "This isn't the nicest place. I'll give you a ride home." “Youll drive me home in the bus? I asked, perplexed(迷惑的).“No, Ill take you in my car, she said.“Its a long way, I protested(抗议).“Come on,she said. “I have nothing else to do.As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story.

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.
