　　Savage: You're welcome.

　　Reporter: What exactly happened last week?

　　Savage: Well, the volcano erupted, and ash and lava poured down the mountain towards the sea.Unfortunately, there are several villages in its path.

　　Reporter: That's terrible. Was anybody hurt?

　　Savage: No. Luckily, we had plenty of warning and I told people who lived in the path of the ash and lava to leave the island. We managed to get half the population to another island before the eruption took place.

　　Reporter: Why are you still here?

　　Savage: Well, I'm still working because there's a lot to do.

　　Reporter: How many people live on the island?

　　Savage: Eleven thousand people live here and about six thousand people have left.

　　Reporter: Which areas are the most dangerous?

　　Savage: Well, the most dangerous places are between the volcano and the sea. There are a lot of villages there. And it was very dangerous. Sadly, hundreds of houses caught fire when the lava reached them.

　　Reporter: Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that.

　　Savage: Thankfully, no one was killed.

　　Reporter: Are the houses still on fire?

　　Savage: No. Fortunately, we put all the fires out quite quickly.

　　Reporter: That's very good news. Well, it's a beautiful sunny day here in Plymouth. Does this mean that the danger is over?

　　Savage: No! The volcano could erupt again! People must understand that it is still very dangerous and they can't go back to their houses.

　　Reporter: OK-so that's the message from the governor -don't go back to your houses. When

　　will people be able to return home?

　　Savage: We don't know at the moment. Hopefully, it won't be too long.

　　Reporter: Thank you for your time, Mr Savage.

　　Savage: Thank you.

　　(int=interviewer)

　　Int:  David, what do you see as the main problems with the environment?

　　D.U: Well, in a nutshell, the most urgent problem of all is the climate. The world's climate seemsto be getting warmer.

　　Int:  We've seen a lot of evidence of that, haven't we? Hotter summers, warmer winters, that kind of thing.

　　D.U: Yes, we have. Also, scientists have found that the ice at the Poles is beginning to melt.

　　Int:  We've heard that too. Is that really happening?

　　D.U: Yes, I'm afraid it is. And at sometime in the future, the ice may melt completely. Then it's Possible that the sea could rise and coastal cities like New York and Shanghai could disappear under water.

　　Int:  It sounds very frightening.

　　D.U: I couldn't agree with you more. It's scary!

　　Int:  Can you explain why the climate's getting warmer?

　　D.U: Well, I'll do my best! It's pollution that's the problem. Gases from cars enter the atmosphere and stop the sun's heat from leaving the atmosphere. And factories give out chemicals that do the same thing. So as a result, the climate is getting warmer.

　　Int:  From what I understand, carbon dioxide from cars is a major problem.

　　D.U: You're absolutely right. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does most damage to the atmosphere.  But we have a problem with trees too. You see, trees give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. So they're very useful because they use up the carbon dioxide.

　　Int:  I know what you're going to say. We're cutting down all the trees.

　　D.U: Yes, we cut them down because we need the land and because we use the wood for paper and  furniture. That leaves more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

　　Int:  It's a terrible situation.

　　D.U: Yes, and another problem is all the garbage that we produce. We burn a lot of garbage, and once again, the gases pollute the atmosphere. The situation couldn't be worse, really.

　　Int:  We should recycle garbage, not burn it.

　　D.U: Of course we should.

　　Int:  It's strange, we know all this, and yet we do nothing but talk about it. I can't help but feel very concerned.

　　D.U: Yes, well, it is worrying. But governments are beginning to do something about it. I don't think it's too late.

　　China has given the world many important inventions. To give an example, it is the country in which silk was first invented. Silk was made there as long ago as 3200 BC. Chinese farmers grew mulberry leaves because they knew that a certain kind of caterpillar ate them. The Chinese did not tell other countries how silk was made and other countries how silk was made and other countries paid a lot for this soft, strong material.
