Our solar system is a big place with all kinds
of interesting things in it. There are nine
planets in our solar system. Earth is the planet
that we live on. The sun, which we see every day,
is not a planet. It is a star. There are also
many other stars that we see in the sky at night.
Asteroids and meteors are also in our solar
system, but they are not planets either. Comets
exist in our solar system, too. Sometimes you can
see them travel past the earth.

People and companies pollute the water by
throwing trash into it. Chemicals that kill
plants and fish are also dumped into the
water. Factories and power stations pollute the
air with smoke and poisonous gases. Cars also
make exhaust fumes that pollute the air.  When
these gases mix with the water in the air, they
produce acid rain. This rain is not good for the
plants on earth. The more acid there is in the
rain, the faster it will kill the plants.
Pollution is a serious problem on our Earth
today.

The fact that electronic computers are now used
for data processing has led the general public to
believe that it is a mysterious, complicated
science and that the computers are giant brains.
Both of these ideas are false. A computer is
basically just a high-speed adding machine that
performs the functions it is told to. If the
input data are varied even a little, the computer
is unable to operate until it is programmed to
accept the variations. Unlike man, the computer
performs repetitive calculations without getting
tired or bored.
