What links wildfires in Australia, melting glaciers in Europe, and reduced polar bear populations in Arctic? The answer is global warming. Evidently, climate change is just the beginning of this chain reaction that is affecting everything on Earth.
As greenhouse gases (GHG) build up in our atmosphere, scientists predict that temperatures could rise by 4°C in the twenty-first century. Higher temperatures mean warmer water in the oceans, which makes tropical storms stronger. If the rise in temperature doesn’t slow down, more than one million species will be wiped off the face of the Earth by 2050. A 2°C rise in ocean temperature would kill 97 percent of coral reefs and all the animals that live with them.
Many islands and coastal cities may be underwater if sea levels keep rising. As we lose farmable land to rising water and droughts, more people will face food and clean-water shortages.
With the threats of global warming growing, governments around the world are attending climate change conferences. They hope to reach agreements on regulating GHG emissions. In the meantime, some countries have already begun their own green projects. In Brazil, for example, deforestation has been reduced by 70 percent, and it has cut out 4.18 billion tons of GHG emissions.
Now that government are taking steps to reduce global warming, we may be able to make the world a better place. By doing so, future generations of this planet will be able to live without the worry of their cities being underwater, or their air unbreatheable. Ultimately, we should do all we can to ensure that our planet will still be habitable for many years to come.
47. Which is NOT listed as an effect of global warming? (A) Wildfires in Australia.
(B) Increasing live stocks and the GHG gas they make. (C) Reduced polar bear populations.
(D) Melting glaciers in Europe.
48. According to the article, what happen will happen if our ocean’s temperatures get higher? (A) One million marine species will die by 2050.
(B) There will be more greenhouse gases discharged into the oceans.
(C) All the coral reefs and all the animals that live with them will be wiped off the face of the Earth.
(D) We will experience stronger tropical storms. 49. What’s the main idea of the article?
(A) To discuss the pros and cons of global warming. (B) Steps that government should take to reduce GHG. (C) Global warming and how it affects our planet.
(D) How soon human beings will be facing food and clean-water shortages.
Trees create the air that we breathe. However, our planet loses about 7 billion trees every year. Forests burn down or are cut down at very fast speeds.
The government of the Philippines wants students to help with the problem. A new law could make every graduate from elementary school to college plant ten trees.
About 70% of the Philippines used to be covered in forests. Now, it’s only 20%. The law says that students must plant the trees in order to graduate. Every year, over 17 million students
graduate in the country. This means more than 170 million new trees could appear every year. This law will help the Philippines restore many of the country’s trees. The government hopes it will also teach young people to be responsible for the environment.

(A) Less than 20% of the trees have already disappeared in the Philippines. (B) Planting trees will help students study better and thus graduate more easily. (C) Students in Philippines can graduate before they grow 10 trees.
(D) Forests are burned and cut down much faster than they are restored. 51. Why does the Philippines government want the students to grow trees?
(A) Young people should learn to be responsible for the environment. (B) By planting trees, they can cut down and sell the trees in the future. (C) Growing trees can help increase the greenhouse gases.

“OK” is one of the most common and useful words in English. But do you know where it came from?
If not, that’s OK. Even though it is a common word, people had a hard time discovering were OK came from. Some thought it came from a Native American language or from African slaves. However, in the 1960s, a man named Walker Allen Read showed that it came from the US. People began saying it in Boston, Massachusetts, in the late 1830s. At that time, it was fashionable to spell words wrong and use new acronyms. For instance, some people wrote “OW” for “oll wright,” meaning “all right. ”
That didn’t stick, but OK, for “orl korrekt,” did. However, it only became really popular in the 1840 US presidential election. One candidate, Martin Van Buren, was from a town called Kinderhook. His supporters called him “Old Kinderhook,” or “OK.” They encouraged people to “Vote for OK!” Suddenly, people all across the US began saying it. Today, people all around the world think saying OK is…OK!
57. According to the article, where does the expression “OK” come from? (A) African slaves.
(B) Native American language.
(C) The name of a presidential candidate. (D) The United States.
