<b>V. Reading</b>

<b>1. Read the text and do the tasks below.</b>

<b>Saving the planet</b>

Years ago there wasn't a problem with rubbish because things like plastic and disposable nappies hadn't
been invented. There wasn't so much packaging on items you bought either. But now with everything so
over packaged wrapped and disposable we are suffering the consequences of far too much waste. The
trouble is not everything can be recycled or will rot away. You used to be able to get a refund on glass
bottles when you took them back to the shop. Now they are either collected from your house by the
council or you can take them to a bottle bank.

The fact that paper can be recycled and is easy to dispose is great, but remember paper is made from
trees, which are important to the environment. The rainforests have been slowly disappearing for a while
now. We need them not just because it helps with the climate. They are important as like all plants they

give us oxygen. They are also a home to many animals who rely on them for their survival.

The best waste is organic, dead leaves; carrot tops, onion skins and so on all rot down and make fertile
soil. This in turn will help the plants and vegetables giving them much needed food. So if you are able to
have a compost heap in your garden you'll be helping the environment and your garden will love you for
it.

Acid rain is another serious problem it is damaging to plants and is caused by pollutants such as sulphur
dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These come from the burning of coal, oil and gas.

Dropping litter is not just a lazy thing to do it makes work for other people, is bad for the environment
and looks ugly. So think before you drop litter either bin it or keep it and then bin it.

When rivers and seas are polluted by waste we are not only stealing their beauty but were spoiling it for
ourselves too. Our health can also suffer. Sadly accidents do occur; oil slicks sometimes happen and
wreck the environment. Animals tend to suffer the most from these incidents. We should really have in
place something that will prevent so much destruction, rather than just waiting for it to happen, then
trying to clean up the damage.

Nuclear waste has been the cause of controversy over the years. Radioactive material leaking out would
be very serious indeed, it can cause real harm. This is why it is the most worrying.

Although we are trying to stop the hole in the ozone layer getting any bigger, nuclear waste is still a
serious problem. The ozone layer protects us from harmful ultra - violet rays. Its hole has been caused by
chlorofluorocarbons (cfc's) a chemical that was found in some products. Refrigerators used to contain
<b>them. So do we care enough about the earth we have inherited and our passing onto future generations?</b>
Or is it now all too late to do anything? Each one of us can make a difference and each and every one of
us is responsible to the environment. It takes care of us; we should take care of it.

<b>2. Read the passage and do the tasks below.</b>

<b>Pollution</b>

<b>A. Pollution is the fouling of the environment – that is, land, water and air – by waste, smoke, chemicals</b>
and other harmful substances. Every industrial country faces the problem of waste. As factories make new
goods for people to buy, old ones are thrown out with the household trash. Burning this garbage pollutes
the air; throwing it in rivers and seas pollutes the water; and rubbish tips are unpleasant and take up
much- needed space. Getting rid of plastic is particularly difficult- with time wood and paper decay
through action of bacteria, but plastics never decay.

<b>B. As industry needs a regular supply of raw materials, the best solution to the problem of waste is to</b>
make use of it as a raw material by reusing or ‘recycling’ it. For example, old cars can be taken apart and
the valuable metal used again.

<b>C. The world’s oceans have been used as ‘dustbins’, with millions of tons of litter being thrown into the</b>
seas every year, endangering marine life. If too much sewage is poured into sea, lakes and rivers the water
can no longer dilute it – all the oxygen gets used up and the fish die. The bacteria which normally break
down the refuse into harmless matter also die; only harmful bacteria which do not need air remain, and
these cause disease.

<b>D. In the 1950s, people in Japan became ill with a new disease, named Minamata disease. It was found</b>
that they had been eating tuna fish containing mercury. The mercury had come from chemicals poured
into the sea by factories.

<b>E. Smoke from factories and gases from motor vehicles pollute the air. Chemicals in the air combine with</b>
the wetness in the air make acids, which eat away stone and brick, and damage buildings. Carbon
monoxide gas and substances called hydrocarbons – given out by the engines of cars and lorries and buses
– can damage people’s health.

<b>F. Smog formed by chemical reactions among the fumes (gases) in strong sunlight darkens the skies. It is</b>
bad for health, especially for people with lung problems. Smog also damages trees and other plant life.
<b>G. Chemicals in the fumes, especially from coal – fired power stations mix with moisture to make acid</b>
rain which may fall hundreds of kilometers away.

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(5)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=5>

algae (a very small sea plant) grow so fast that they use up all the oxygen in the water, and kill all life in
it.

<b>J. Nuclear energy has two main drawbacks. It can result in accidents, as at Chernobyl in the Soviet Union</b>
in 1986. It also produces radioactive wastes which need to be dealt with. By its very nature this form of
deadly pollution will be around for thousands of years. The present solution is to put away radioactive
waste in concrete and bury them or drop them to the sea bed. But we cannot go on doing this forever.
<b>K. Making our world free of pollution is an unimaginably big task. There are so many people, for one</b>
thing. Also many governments and big companies are slow to act, since anti pollution measures are not
welcome or are expensive. Many people like the idea of reducing pollution, but not when it changes the
way they live.

<b>L. Pollution must be controlled, and the sooner the better. It will cost a great deal, both in terms of money</b>
and a change of life style. For example, acid rain can be stopped by checking the harmful fumes before
they go out from power stations chimneys. This may push up the price of electricity. Perhaps the
packaging of goods in bright plastic and the ‘throw away’ culture should also be discouraged.

<b>M. There are different pollutants (substances which cause pollution) in the modern world. Scientists are</b>
trying to find ways to avoid using them so as to bring back the ‘balance of nature’ which man has upset.
<b>2.1 Choose correct answer.</b>

a. Pollution refers to:

A. cleaning of land, water and air.

B. fouling of the environment by waste, smoke, chemicals and other harmful substances .
C. closing down of factories.

b. Getting rid of plastics is particularly difficult because

A. they never decay, unlike wood and paper.

B. they can never be broken down into pieces.
C. they cannot be burnt.

c. When too much sewage is poured into the sea

A. the water turns brown. B. the sea water turns salty. C. it kills marine life.
d. “Recycling” means

A. using bicycles instead of cars and other motor vehicles.
B. the build-up of carbon monoxide in the upper layer of air.
C. using waste materials again for making new things.

e. When chemicals in fertilizers are washed from the soil into rivers
A. this river water helps plants grow very fast.

B. plants on the land die.

C. they make algae grow very fast they use up all the oxygen in the water and kill all the life in it.
