Reading Ring 8, Unit 10, Natural Forces, Page 99, a bad feeling.

What is the matter with you, Aaron? You look scared.

Yes, you look really awful today.

I think something bad will happen soon, buddies.

Oh, no. But what will it be?

Let me guess. An earthquake.

Last night, I watched a documentary on TV.

Researchers say an earthquake will happen soon, so we should take precautions.

An earthquake? No, I'm not scared because of that.

Oh, I know it. You're scared of water shortage, right?

I think there will be serious droughts soon, because people pour their toxic waste into seas and oceans.

Also, there's overpopulation, global warming and fossil fuel depletion.

These are all causes of water shortage. Yes, that must be it.

What? No, it isn't.

Is it the biological pollutants?

What do you mean?

I mean things like bacteria, viruses, mold, dust and pollen.

Well, sounds threatening, but I'm not scared of them right now.

So, what is it?

Hi, class. It's lesson time.

Sit down and take out a piece of paper. You will have a pop quiz.

Oh, I knew it. That's why I was so scared.
