Rachel Carson was a scientist by profession, but she published her book Silent Spring in 1962. By imagining     1     world without birds, she aimed to alert people to the damaging effects of human activity on natural ecosystems-    2     particular, to the harmful use of pesticides, such as DDT. Carson urged people     3    (make)themselves aware of the facts and do something about the situation. Carson's message was very alarming,     4    (cause)a great increase in environmental     5    (aware). Its impact was immediate and far-reaching. Therefore, Silent Spring     6    (regard)as a milestone in the launch of the green movement in the Western world.

Silent Spring was not, however, received     7    (positive)by everyone. The book quickly became a   target for critics in the pesticide industry. But Garson remained     8    (determine)to stand by her research.

Personally, I enjoy Carson's book. Half a century later it remains a book     9     deserves to be reread today, so that we can once again feel ourselves warm to the fire of its     10    (passion)message.
