Read the following article in which five people talk about the air pollution in large cities. For questions 61 to 65, match name of each speaker to one of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.
Patrick Kelly
Just think what would happen in this city if everyone who usually drives a car decided to use mass transportation and appeared on the nearest street corner. The city would have to provide almost 4, 000 additional passenger buses to carry these people to their jobs. When the city is ready to promise the citizens that these buses will be there, at that corner, at that time, and take them to where they are going on time, then we will be ready to discuss limitations on the use of automobiles.
Joseph Award
We are wasting our time and good money’ by asking scientists to solve the problem of air pollution. They are blaming cars and motorist. Nonsense! It is the smoke from factories that is ruining our air. I believe that these so-called scientists should try working in a factory from midnight to 8 a. m. , and maybe they would discover something that would surprise them. If the scientists could use their knowledge to direct the winds in such away as to send this factory smoke out to sea forever, then we would be able to solve the problem of air pollution.
Joseph Barnes
Car owners, be warned! Storm clouds are gathering. All clear-thinking individuals want the air they breathe to be as pure as possible. This is only natural. But to place the entire blame on the auto- mobile is unfair. Trucks and buses and airplanes are worse polluters than the average well-kept auto- mobile. But the individual car owner has no power to protect himself against government control. Unlike the airplanes and truck and bus companies, the motorist has no influence, so once again the individual citizen cannot defend his fight against government control.
Melvina Dennison
What right do these men have to tell us when and where we can drive? Are they going to pay us for the time we lose getting to work when the subway breaks down? Many times I was late for work, or stood freezing on a street corner waiting for a bus that was too full to take me when it finally arrived.
Are they also going to have police in all the subway stations at all hours to protect people who use public transportation? I have had three bad experiences in subway stations coming home from work late. That was when my husband and I decided that I should have a car. I bought one, and now they’re going to try to tell me I can’t drive it!
Edward Riis
What can we do to reduce air pollution? For one thing, we can forget our love affair with the automobile and find other means of transportation which may not be quite as convenient as the auto but would be less expensive and less harmful to the environment. We may learn to like it once we try it. It may encourage the development of more satisfactory high-speed mass transportation systems, too.
Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] It is the government’s responsibility to clean up the air.
[B] The public transportation is neither convenient nor safe.
[C] It is fun to use a good public transportation system.
[D] Factory smoke is the main cause of pollution.
[E] The city doesn’t have the ability to move its people around.
[F] It is necessary to make car owners aware of the pollution.
[G] I am in favor of developing a better transportation.
