Each year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of the cars, driving trucks, building roads, or filling car with gas. Americans won't live without cars!

      Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health. 

      One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute. That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

      Another way is to take the place of car engine (发动机)by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.

      To prevent the world from being polluted by car, we'll have to make some changes. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.

But this change doesn't come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

      Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

    In 2011, when British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera was taken away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies(自拍照). The best ones show a monkey smiling toothily for the camera.

    Nobody knew they would create a copyright (版权) battle three years later.

    Last month, a website put the monkey selfies online under a collection d free photos without Slater's permission (允许).

    However, the website refused to do so. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo.

    They said, "US copyright law says that works that come from a non-human source can't ask for copyright. That means monkeys don't own copyright. "

     He said he bought the cameras; he spent a lot of money traveling to Indonesia, and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his cameras away.  All these have made him own the pictures, no matter who pushed the button. In a sense, the monkeys helped him take the photos, Slater said.

     Who do you think will win this interesting battle?

A. It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button.

B. As of now, there has been no result in the Monkey Selfie case.

C. Slater then sold the photos and they became popular on the Internet.

D. Slater asked the website to take them down since he owns the copyright.

E. Slater argues that the pictures belong to him as they were taken from his camera.
