Question 5

Reading Section

Choose the best option according to the Reading 1 "GLOBAL WARMING MAP: Greenhouse Effects":

GLOBAL WARMING MAP: Greenhouse Effects Unfortunately global warming is well under way. Here are some telltale signs. Carbon dioxide and other gases from the burning of fossil fuels collect in the atmosphere and act like the glass walls of a greenhouse, trapping heat on the earth's surface. Scientists predict that the planet's average temperature could rise as much as 6.3 degrees F (3.5 degrees C) over the next century, and we are already seeing heat waves, melting polar ice and rising seas.

Local impact remains unpredictable: some areas could suffer stronger storms and other places severe drought. Seven environmental groups -Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Union of Concerned Scientists, U.S. Public Interest Research Group, World Resources Institute and World Wildlife Fund - have put together a world map showing "early-warning signs" of global warming. Reviewed by a team of scientists, the signs fall into two categories: direct manifestations of warming, called fingerprints, and events that could become more frequent and widespread with climate change, which are labeled harbingers. Here's an advance look at the highlights of the map

What did Scientists call harbingers to?

a. Direct manifestation of warming.

b. More frequent events.

Question 7

Read the text “Saying and choose the correct answer according to the information presented.

Saying "NO" to bullies!

Bullying is when someone continually insults or hurts you. Many young people are bullied at school. But there are some positive ways to solve the problem.

Tom Cruise, Peter Andre, and Michelle Pfeiffer have something in common: they were all bullied at school. These stars that bullying does not necessarily stop you from being successful, says Kids cape, a children's organization in Britain.

Kids cape has some original ways of stopping bullies. The "bully box", for example, is a box in school where students put notes about bullying. The important thing is to tell an adult about the bully.

Teachers usually learn how to recognize when a kid is being bullied but sometimes schools can't solve the problem. In a recent case in Britain, the police arrested a 16-year-old girl for bullying a 12-year-old girl. The younger girl's mother said the school hadn't solved the problem, which had become very serious. So she went to the police.

But most bullies are stopped by the school or by the kids themselves. At the Martial Arts for Peace association in America, Dr Terence Webster-Doyle suggests discussing the problem openly with the bully. Dr Webster-Doyle teaches martial arts for self-defense, not for fighting. He says that if you know you can defend yourself, "you are not afraid of the other ".

a. That everybody is able to solve situations related to bullying

b. That bulling is a phenomenon difficult to identify

c. That there are some strategies to identify and fight against bullying

Correct: It says that there are some positive ways to deal with bullying situations.

d. That bullying is an important matter because some actors have been victims of it

The correct answer is: That there are some strategies to identify and fight against bullying

Question 8

Reading Section

Choose the best option according to the Reading 2 "CHANGING LIFESTYLES":

The past couple of decades have seen the rise of a class of professionals in their 20s and 30s who typically have high disposable incomes and few responsibilities. The rise of women in paid employment and the corresponding increase in disposable income has fuelled the increase in alcohol consumption. Young women -those without family responsibilities- seem best able to fund the habit. The tendency towards "extended youth" -people putting off marriage and children- may well have contributed towards the trend of higher consumption of alcohol, among both women and men.
