Recently ,a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called "Money and the Meaning of Life .He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think .One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week .From the way they spend their money , they can see what they really value in life.

He says our relation with others often become clearly defined when money enters the picture .You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends .But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money .If he does ,it brings something to the relationship if he doesn't .

As a result of pollution ,Lake Erie ,on the borders of the U. S. A. and Canada, is now without any living things .

Pollution in water is not simply a matter of "poisons " killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms(生物体)to be affected are either plants or planktons (浮游生物).But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures .When this food disappears , the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out ,and it is not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river's edge or on the seashore that people realize what is happening .

Where do the substances(物质)which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources——sewage(污水)and industrial waste. As more detergent(洗涤剂)is used in the home ,so more of it is finally put into our rivers ,lake and seas .Detergents harm water birds dissolving (分解)the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof . Sewage itself , if it is not properly treated ,makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need .Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are many highly poisonous things in it ,such as copper and lead .

So, if we want to stop this pollution ,the answer is simple :sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into the water ,It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes ,but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
