When the first white men came to America, they found vast amount of natural resources of
tremendous value. Forests cover a large part of the nation; later gas, oil and minerals were found in
unbelievable amounts. There was a great abundance of very fertile soil. Forests, prairies, streams and
rivers abounded with wildlife. So vast were these resources that it seemed that they could never be
used up. So forests were destroyed to make way for farmland. Grassland and prairies were plowed and
harrowed. Minerals and oil were used in great quantities to supply a young industrial nation. Almost
every river became the scene of factories, mills and power companies. Mammals and birds were
slaughtered for food and sport.

Within a short time, the results were obvious. Floods caused millions of dollars worth of damage
yearly. The very fertile soil was washed away or blown up in great clouds. The seemingly
inexhaustible oil and minerals showed signs of depletion. Rivers were filled with silt from eroding
farms and wastes from factories. Many of the rivers were made unfit for fish. Several species of birds
disappeared, and some mammals seemed on the verge of going. Future timber shortages were
predicted. In short, Americans soon became to realize that some sorts of conservation program must be
set up; if future as well as present Americans were to share in the resources that are the heritage of
every American.

III. Choose From clauses or phrases from A-F the one which fits each gap 1-5. There are one
extra clause or phrase you do not need to use.

A. so that there is little stress B. More important that you are active against
C. When you swim D. Swim slowly at first

E. As well as getting a strenuous work-out F. Whether you enter a pool.

Swimming is an ideal activity. (1)…,……… , you get a total body work out that combines

cardiovascular and strength benefits. You work your heart and lungs (2)……….for your upper
and lower body. In addition this is done in a weight bearing (the water bears your body weight)

resistance than air. (5)……… or other body of water to swim or for some other fitness activity is
