Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings, nor claws to climb with. Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree, and began singing. Unfortunately, hippos can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.

It greatly develops the economy（经济） in different areas, people's lives and tourism（旅游业）, said Huang Xin, an official from the China Railway Corp.

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have any machines.

Life today has new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution makes our rivers and lakes dirty. It killed our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's bad to all living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before they pour it into the river.

We need to do some things, too. We can go to work by bus, on foot or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

53．Was life much harder than it is today hundreds of years ago?

54．What is one of the biggest problems in today's life?

55．What will happen if there are fewer people driving?
