目前，有不少中學(xué)生不做家務(wù)，一些父母認(rèn)為：中學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)負(fù)擔(dān)重，首要任務(wù)是學(xué)習(xí)。再者，中學(xué)生也不知道怎樣做家務(wù)。請(qǐng)你就此用英文給一家報(bào)社寫一篇短文，闡述你的觀點(diǎn)和看法。

　　注意：

　　1.      詞數(shù)：100左右；

　　2.      可根據(jù)內(nèi)容要點(diǎn)適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，使行文連貫。

Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America.It is an extremely serious problem in some developing countries.For these countries,economic growth is a very important aim.They want to introduce industries,and so they put few controls on industries which cause pollution.

Cubatao,an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil,is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution.In 1954,Cubatao had no industry.Today it has more than twenty large factories,which produce many pollutants（污染物）.The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matters in their surroundings,and the bad effects can be clearly seen.Birth shortcomings are extremely common.Among children and grown-ups,lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.

It is true that Brazil,like many other countries,has laws against pollution,but these laws are not carried out strictly enough.It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines(罰款) than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution.It is clear,therefore,that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers.

However,the responsibility(責(zé)任) does not completely lie with the Brazilian government.The example of Cubatao shows that international companies are not acting in a responsible way either.A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France,Italy,and the U.S.They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home.If they caused the same amount of pollution at home,they would be severely(嚴(yán)厲的) punished or even put out of business.
