If you go out, you can find cars here and there. Bad smoke from a car can get into the air. This bad smoke is called pollution.

Pollution turns the air a gray color. It is very dirty. It also makes the air around us get worse and worse. It is not good for our health.

To keep pollution down, the States test cars every two years. This test checks to make sure the cars do not pollute the air. If a car doesn’t pass the test, the owner can’t drive it the next year.

Some car owners drive their cars even though they can’t pass the test. It is also very bad for the air.

People want to find a way to get these cars off the road. So a state program was started. Now it seems to be helping. In the state program, the States buy cars that can’t pass the test or will help pay for repairs. This program has been helping people buy better cars or fix their old ones. And the air is becoming better and better.

The state program that takes pollution cars off the road has just finished its first year, and people say it has been successful. For the past year, the state program has been buying cars that can’t pass the test, and the cars bought by the States through the program are put out of use.

John was seven. He lived with his grandparents in the countryside before he came to our class because his parents had to work in the city. They also had no time to take care of him. So he was a new student in our class. And he knew nothing about the things that happened in big cities. Now he was standing in the front of the classroom because Mr. Smith, the teacher, was asking John a lot of questions. But John couldn't answer any of them. Mr. Smith then decided to ask him some easier questions so that he could answer a few.

“What was Thomas Edison?” he asked.

John thought for some time and then answered in a very low voice, “A singer from America.”

“No. Thomas Edison was a great American inventor,” Mr. Smith said. He was getting a little angry now because everyone knows the great man, but he was trying not to let his students see that. Then he asked again. “Who was the first president （总统）of the United States?”

John thought for a long time, but said nothing. Mr. Smith shouted, “George Washington! ” John turned back and began to walk to his seat sadly.

“Come back!” Mr. Smith shouted. “I didn’t tell you to go back!”

“I’m sorry,” John said. “I thought you were calling the next student.”
