Since the early 1980s, we began to worry about the bad effects of environmental pollution. It is the result of industrialization and of the careless use of natural resources. Avoiding pollution is not easy. Many people try not to inhale traffic fumes and keep away from chemical waste by wearing a mask when they get out of their house. Actually, indoor pollution is becoming more and more serious. They have found that dishwashers, washing machines, air conditioners, freezers, and refrigerators emit some certain toxic chemicals into the air. We surely inhale these chemicals when doing housework. Using gas cookers and burning candles produce carbon monoxide.
Therefore, before worrying about environmental pollution when going out, we should consider the problems of indoor pollution.

Read the following passage and choose the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Tattooing is an old art. In ancient Greece, people who had tattoos were regarded as members of the upper classes. On the other hand, tattooing was in Europe by the early Christians, who thought that it was a sinful thing to do. It was not until the late 18th century, when Captain Cook saw South Sea Islanders decorating their bodies with tattoos, that attitude began to change. Sailors came back from these islands with pictures of Christ on the backs and from then on, tattooing in popularity. A survey by the French army in 1881 showed that among the 378 men there were 1333 designs.
Nowadays, not everybody finds tattoos acceptable. Some people think that getting one is silly because tattoos are more or less permanent. There is also some about catching a blood disease from unsterilized needles. Even for those who do want a tattoo, the process of getting one is not painless, but the final result, in their eyes, is the pain.
