Directions: For 30 years, the Darling Chemical Company has got rid of its waste by dumping it in the River Darling or by burning it. Most of the people living in Darling work for the company, so there have been a few complaints. The local radio station has interviewed five people about their views on the issue. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Mrs. Sue Pearson:
We don’t want to be here, but what can we do? You see, last year my husband found out that he had cancer. Doctors advised us to leave Darling. We planned to buy a farm 50 miles away. But before we could save enough money for the deposit, he lost his job. Now I can’t see how we’ll ever be able to get away from him. I don’t know what to do.
George Clark:
I certainly do not accept that my company is responsible. We can’t be responsible. It is an absolutely ridiculous opposition. If people choose to work here or live nearby, they must accept the risks. We did not bring the company to the town. The town grew up round the chemical factory. And part of the reason the town is such a thriving community today, is because of my company. Of course, there is a little pollution. There is always pollution in the chemical industry. It can’t be helped because this country needs chemicals — without this company 3,000 people would be jobless.
Richard Carr:
I think the Darling Chemical Company should be held fully responsible for the trouble and the suffering they have brought to the local people. We are suing for over a million pounds in compensation, and we are also asking for a court order to close the factory. I’m confident that we shall win. What worries me is that it’s impossible to stop this kind of thing until it’s too late. I think the government should have introduced strict pollution controls long ago.
Linda Jackson:
I think pollution is a crime against society and must be punished. Already many towns are worse than Darling. If we don’t act soon, this country will be uninhabitable. I propose to fix strict limits for discharge of pollution. All companies which exceed these limits negligently will pay heavy fines. All companies which exceed the limits deliberately will be closed and their managers will go to prison.
Graham Paterson:
Pollution from the factories is not the only problem. Motor vehicles and aircraft pollute the air. Oil tankers pollute the sea. Many city governments discharge sewage into their rivers and leave mountains of garbage in the countryside. Pollution occurs everywhere and it is getting worse and worse. However, all of this could be avoided. There are engines which do not cause air pollution. Garbage can be recycled and sewage can be converted to energy. Private companies won’t make the necessary investments. This money really does have to come from the government.
Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.
Note: There are two extra statements.
Statements
A. I think pollution is a crime against society and must be punished.
B. I strongly demand that the chemical factory be closed by legal means, and that the government be criticized for not introducing strict pollution controls.
C. The coming pollution of the environment is one of the biggest problems we are facing now.
D. I think the Darling Chemical Company should be responsible for my husband’s illness.
E. I think that pollution is a widespread problem but that it could be avoided if the government makes the necessary investments.
F. I do not accept that my company is responsible for anything, and people in Darling should be grateful to his company for providing 3,000 jobs.
G. It is generally believed that environmental pollution has adverse effects on human health.
