The ability to make a good impression on people is important to many of us as humans are
inherently social creatures driven by a desire to connect with others. However, it can sometimes
be difficult to interpret exactly what other people think of us. It would be easy if they all simply
saw us the way we try to appear. Unfortunately, everyone we encounter views the world through
his or her own unique lens, and people tend to not be very direct about how they feel about
others unless it is their own trusted social circles. It is for this reason that, in order to determine
how other people view us, it is sometimes necessary to rely on our metaperceptions.
1. It is far from important to impress others.
2. It is always straightforward to explain what other people think of us.
3. People often perceive the world through their own perspective.
4. Some people tend to put on lens when talking to other people.
4. People are generally honest about how they perceive others.
5. People tend to conceal their feelings when dealing with their friends.
We now know that trees and other vegetation play an invaluable role in reducing air pollution in
cities. Not so long ago, in the early 1980, chemists discovered that trees produce emissions. This
prompted the then U.S. President Ronald Reagan to falsely declare, ‘Trees cause more pollution
than automobiles do.’ This, of course, caused people to speculate that trees were harmful,
despite the facts that the words ‘emission’ and ‘pollution’ are not synonymous and that the
president’s remark was not accurate.
1. Trees and other vegetation play a valueless role in reducing air pollution in cities.
2. A politician in the 1980s incorrectly blamed plants for air pollution.
3. Trees cause more air pollution than water pollution.
4. Some people believed that trees have a negative impact.
5. ‘Emission’ and ‘pollution’ have the same meaning.
While it is true that trees and plants, like all living things, emit chemical substances as byproducts
of their metabolisms, these emissions are not a threat but instead include the oxygen we breathe
and the various chemical compounds that give flowers and shrubs their fresh and fragrant scents.
It is only in the presence of significant amounts of man-made pollution, like that caused by the
emissions of automobiles, that plants and trees release volatile organic hydrocarbons. But when
they do, they can become participants in the formation of such ground-level ozone pollution as
photochemical smog.
1. Trees and plants emit substances including no oxygen into the air.
2. Trees and plants are necessary for flowers to have fragrance.
3. Plants contribute to photochemical smog as much as automobiles.
