IV. Reading Comprehension:
1. Read the following passage and answer the questions. 
Pollution spoils our environment in many ways. The air we breathe, for instance, is constantly polluted by smoke and by chemicals such as carbon monoxide in the exhaust fumes of cars and other kinds of motor vehicles.
For wildlife, however, there are even greater dangers in the pollution of water of rivers, for example or lakes and seas. A good illustration of this is oil released from the tankers at sea. It kills all kinds of sea animals, including birds, whose feathers become covered with oil so they cannot fly, as well as fish and other forms of marine life. Other causes of water pollution include power stations, which release warm water into rivers. This kills the fish and plants which live there. These are only a few examples, there are many more.
a. What do smoke and chemicals pollute?
b. What will happen to sea animals if oil is released from the tankers at sea?
c. How do power stations cause water pollution?
