Is the world really going mad?  __26__  day I was sitting in a restaurant  __27__  a quick drink and a talk with a few friends when I suddenly  __28__  that almost everyone in the restaurant was smoking. It wasn’t long  __29__  the whole room was  __30__  with smoke. I asked with an apology for permission(允许) to  __31__  a window to stop myself  __32__  !

Nowadays air pollution is something that hardly question any more. However, I still can’t walk down the street in any of the big cities without  __33__  that people are  __34__  from the air pollution. It is time for the government departments of the world to introduce emission(废气排放) controls on all cars and  __35__  the public transport system to encourage people to  __36__  their cars at home. A friend of mine takes flying lesson each morning and it really makes him  __37__  when he climbs above the smog layer(烟雾层) and looks down  __38__  it and thinks: “I’m breathing that!” This kind of  __39__  results from the bad management of resources. Waste things can  __40__  should, be treated properly. Road construction, House  __41__  , and industrial development are all earthmoving(earth-reducing) operations and can change the balances of  __42__  created over millions of years. I would like to  __43__  serious studies done on all these main works before they are built. Also, there should be  __44__  national parks set up to keep the most beautiful parts of countries in their natural  __45__  .
