Maybe most people know that there is water pollution, air pollution and noise
pollution around us, but few people know that there is another kind of pollution—light pollution. In fact, it can be everywhere, depending on the time of
the day.
Light pollution is the result of the wasted energy. Instead of providing light for
people on the earth, most bright light shines into the sky, because people don’t
design lights(灯) very well. At the same time, lights are brighter than necessary. All
these cause light pollution. Stars in the night sky always provide everyone with
wonderful sights(景色), but light pollution prevents them from being seen.
Some scientists say that light pollution can also bring some health problems to
people, especially to kids. So it’s the high time for us to do something useful to sto light pollution.
根据短文内容，判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。
( )41. Light pollution isn’t serious enough for us to stop it now.
( )42. All the people know light pollution well today.
( )43. Most light shines into the sky instead of providing light for people.
( )44. People in big cities can’t see stars clearly in the night sky.
( )45. Light pollution doesn’t do harm to people’s health.
