Modern man has lived on the earth for only 35,000 years, but during that time, we have changed our planet in many ways. Many of the things that we have done are good, but more are not good for the earth. Water pollutionA lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water pollution. Factories have polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are now dead.Air pollutionIn big cities, factories, as well as cars, trucks and buses are the main cause of air pollution. Many people in cities now have serious health problems. For example, Mexico city used to be a beautiful sunny capital, but today it is always covered by thick brown clouds.Soil pollutionIn order to have a good harvest, most of the farmers use chemicals too much in their fields. That’s bad for the soil. But this kind of pollution is difficult to stop.Hope for the futureThese problems are very serious for our future, so all of us should do something to improve our environment. If we can stop pollution, our planet will become more and more beautiful and our health will be better.

It’s in Europe（欧洲）. Near Greenland there is another land. It’s very small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think Greenland is green and warm? And do you think Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you are quite wrong. Few people live on Greenland. Maybe there are more people in one small town on Iceland than those in the whole of Greenland. Because most of the island is covered with（覆盖）ice, the ice on Greenland is higher than the tallest building in the world. How about Iceland? Is it colder than Greenland? No, it isn’t. Iceland has ice, but not so much ice as Greenland. Iceland has lots of hot springs. They give out hot water and steam（水蒸气）. The weather is not so cold as that on Greenland. And there are more people on Iceland than on Greenland.根据短文内容，判断正（A）误（B）。
