. Reading

Read the text given below. Choose the most suitable heading

from the list (A–F)

for each part (1–5). There is one heading you do not need to use.

A A watery grave.

B Running out of time.

C Choking to death.     http://www.wordreference.com/

D Nature can heal.

E No trees – no life.

F We can do it!

We have spent thousands of years fighting for our survival. Yet now we have

discovered that our planet is under threat and, to make matters worse, it’s all our fault.

(1) .....

The rainforests are dying, rare plant and animal species are disappearing, rivers and

seas are being contaminated, crops are failing to grow, people are dying of hunger and

the air is being polluted. It’s time we woke up to these problems

and started repairing

the damage.

(2) .....

One of the major problems is the destruction of the rainforests in South America.

They are home to half the world’s species and to millions of people. Moreover, the

rainforests clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen. The trees

are being cut down for paper or to make room for cattle farms. As a result, birds and

animals lose their homes and die. This destruction is also bringing about changes in the

climate, air pollution, flooding, drought and famine. If we continue to burn and cut

down the rainforests as we are doing now, the earth will never be the same again.

(3) ....

Another big problem is water pollution. Do you like swimming in the sea or drinking

a cool glass of water on a hot day? These simple pleasures may soon become a thing of

the past. Factories are polluting our rivers and lakes with dangerous

chemicals. Oil

tankers are releasing thick, black oil into our oceans. Tons and tons of industrial and

domestic waste are poured into our seas. Consequently, sea life is threatened with

extinction.

(4) .....

Air pollution is another important issue. The cars and factories in and around our

cities are giving off dangerous fumes. In the past few years, more and more people than

ever before have developed allergies and breathing problems. If we don’t do something

now, our cities will become impossible to live in.

(5) .....

Fortunately, it is not too late to solve these problems. We have the time, the money

and even the technology to prepare the way for a better, cleaner and safer future. We

can plant trees and adopt animals. We can create parks for endangered species. We can

put pressure on those in power to take action. Together we can save our planet. All we

need to do is open our eyes and act immediately.

XX I. Reading

Read the text given below. For questions (1–4), choose the best answers (A, B, C, D).

JULIETTE GORDON LOW, GIRL SCOUT NATIONAL CENTRE

Do you know where the idea for a Girl Scout or Boy Scout organizations came from?

The original idea came from England, but the first Girl Scout group in the United States

began in Savannah, Georgia, and all because one woman had a vision.

Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low organized the first group of Girl Scouts on March 12,

1912, because she wanted to give girls the opportunity to get out of the house and get

involved in their community and outdoor activities. She got the idea of starting a girl’s

group after spending time in England with General Robert Baden-Powell and his sister

Agnes, who had founded the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides.

Low took these ideas back to the U.S. and established the Girl Guides of America. It

started out as a group of 18 girls who met regularly with a naturalist to go on nature

walks, cook meals over campfires, and do other “scouting” activities. Low was so

dedicated to this group that she sold a strand of rare matched pearls for $8,000 to pay

for operations in the beginning. Today, Low’s birthplace in Savannah is open to the

public as a museum and contains information about the early Girl Scouts.
