ECOLOGY
If a man kills a tiger we call it sport, if a tiger kills a man we call it ferocity. Modern society will find no solution to the ecological problems unless it takes a serious look at its lifestyles. There is so much pollution in the air that if it were not for our lungs there’d be no place to put it all.

Noise pollution is (to desire) sounds that are (to disrupt) or (danger) and can cause harm to life, nature, and property. It is often said that noise differs from other forms of pollution in that, unlike (atmosphere) (pollution) for example, noise leaves no (accumulative) in the environment or the (humanity) body. However, no one denies its (harmless). The (hazard) effects of noise depend on its (intensive) or (loud) in decibels, duration, and (frequent) - high or low. Noise may be ambient or constant and peak when the noise is shorter and louder. Noise-induced hearing (to lose) in humans is the major problem stemming from noise pollution. At the end of the 20 th century U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Noise Control (estimation) that around twenty million Americans were (exposure) daily to noise resulting in permanent hearing loss. Stress, high blood pressure, (angry) and frustration, headaches, and many other physiological and psychological problems have been linked directly to noise. In (to add), children have been shown to suffer from slower language (developing) and disruption of learning as a result of noise. In addition, noise can harm animals and the environment, as well as physical property. Noise can disturb wildlife feeding and breeding.

PARAPHRASE THE UNDERLINED WORDS Animals become endangered for a variety of reasons, most have to do with changes to their natural habitats. In fact, habitat destruction is a primary cause. Urban growth, mining and agricultural operations all can destroy the natural habitats of animal populations. Some animals become endangered when their habitats contain resources for humans. For example, commercial deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest has seriously reduced the population of many animal species and lead to the extinction of other groups. Another factor that makes animals become endangered is over-fishing or over-hunting. When animals become endangered, the entire food chain can be affected. Even the status of the smallest of animals can have a profound effect.
