        Many of the world’s cities suffer from smog. It’s not surprising that in recent years car manufacturers have been put under pressure to invent a vehicle (транспортное средство) that is better for the environment.

        One of the first ideas, which car manufacturers tried, was to replace engines (двигатель) which run on fossil fuels (горючее) with electric motors. Unfortunately, these vehicles had some disadvantages and they didn’t sell very well. The problems were that the batteries of these electric cars ran out very quickly and took a long time to recharge (заряжать). Also electric cars were very expensive.

        Car manufacturers have improved the concept so that environmentally friendly cars can now be efficient and economical too. This is where the hybrid car, which has both an electric motor and a traditional petrol (бензин) engine, comes in. The electric motor never needs to be recharged and it is much better for the planet than a traditional car.

        In a hybrid car the engine is controlled by a computer which determines whether the car runs on petrol, electricity or both. When the car needs maximum power, for example, if it is climbing a hill, it uses all of its resources, while at steady (постоянный) speed it runs only on petrol. When slowing down or braking (тормозить), the electric car recharges its batteries.

        Hybrid cars are better for the environment because the electric motor can help out whenever it is needed and they have a much smaller engine than a traditional car. Also, hybrid cars are made from aluminium which makes them extremely light. Both of these factors mean that they use less petrol than normal cars, so they produce less pollution.

        Of course, hybrid cars aren’t perfect; they still run on fossil fuels and so pollute the environment to some extent (степень, мера). However, they may be the first step to cleaner, “greener” cars.

        Has the African elephant got a future? Will our grandchildren see this wonderful animal? In the 19th century Africa was full of elephants. At the end of the 20th century specialists counted a little bit more than a million on the whole of the black continent. Thousands of elephants were disappearing every year and in many game parks there are more dead elephants than live ones.

        These large areas of land, which were organized for wild animals to live in, have a rather small population of elephants.

        This is the sad story of Kabalega Falls National Park in Uganda. In the 1960s the human population grew very fast and farmers started to take land from the park. They pushed 8,000 elephants into the southern part of Kabalega. Soon the elephant population grew too large for that area, and began to destroy the bush (земли, покрытые кустарником). Elephants tear (рвать) the branches of young trees and eat the leaves. An adult elephant needs one third of a ton of food a day, and 180 litres of water. If elephants kill too many trees, the bush starts to die, and there is no food or water for any of the wild animals. Parts of Kabalega became deserts, full of dead trees and bones (кость).

        The government had to kill some of the elephants to save the park and the elephants themselves. It was important to get the right balance between land and animals. Then the bush can grow again and feed elephants and other wild animals. The plan began well, but then there was a terrible war in Uganda and most people forgot about the game park. In those days the world price for ivory (слоновая кость) became very high and poachers (браконьеры) killed thousands of Uganda elephants. The situation was getting worse and worse. After the war the team of wild life experts flew over the game park and they saw a terrible sight. They found only a little number of live elephants and a lot of dead ones without their tusks (бивни). People used to kill wild animals from fear, for food or for clothes. Now they are killing them for money. Ivory is not so necessary for man but many people want it and are ready to pay high prices. That’s why poachers can easily find a market. Is there still time to save the elephant?
