Limited Resources

Natural resources are things that we use that come from Earth. Our natural resources are
limited. This means that they will not last forever. Some are renewable, like when you plant a new tree
when you cut one down. Others are not renewable, like when you dig coal out of the ground. Once it is
used, it is gone.
People are aware of the fact that Earth’s natural resources are limited, and can do things to help
conserve those resources. When you try to conserve a natural resource, you try to use less of it so it
does not get used up so fast. One way that people conserve fuel, like gasoline, is by riding a bicycle or
walking when the distance is short instead of driving everywhere.
Water is a very important natural resource because we all need it to stay alive. We can conserve
water by making sure that our pipes and faucets do not leak. We can also conserve water by making
smart choices, like only using the dishwasher or washing machine when they are full.

In order for countries to keep their water clean and uncontaminated there are a number of
factors that can be implemented to insure that the water on our earth remains clean and if
contaminated can be filtered so that the poisonous materials can be removed. Proper
disposal/containment of toxic chemicals/materials before they have an opportunity to reach our
oceans and lakes would go a long way towards improving the current condition of our water.
Second, by implementing renewable energy sources to run these large operations companies can
obtain their energy from eco-friendly sources that do not harm or pollute the atmosphere. Third,
eco-friendly chemicals should be used to replace toxic cleaning chemicals, sprays and other
supplies. These chemicals are extremely helpful as they do not contaminate the water they come
into contact with so if they go down a drain pipe or sewage drain there is little or at least less
negative consequence.

For number 40-43, read the persuasive paragraph below then answer the questions that follow.
(1) Drug addiction is something societies all over the world rarely tolerate. Although almost
every culture has a tradition of consuming narcotic substances—alcohol, in the first turn—not all of them
are seen as acceptable. A person saying, “A glass of beer after a long working day is my small weakness,
you know” looks normal; but an almost similar phrase, “A shot of heroin after a long working day is my
small weakness, you know” will sound suspicious, to say the least, will it not?
(2) Double standards or not, narcotics are a taboo—and still there are several kinds of drugs that
societies turn a blind eye to: tobacco, the aforementioned alcohol, and marijuana. The latter is illegal in
many countries, but people’s attitude to it is rather benevolent—more than to any other drug.
(3) To start with, marijuana is not totally illegal: a number of states in the USA (Colorado,
California, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, and 16 other states), as well as several countries such as
Netherlands have made it legal to smoke weed. This was not done on the basis of pure fun and
carelessness, of course: the distribution of legalized drugs is easier to control, they are taxed, and their
chemical compound can be standardized to minimize health risks and side effects.
(4) According to a survey conducted by an authoritative website about medicine, WebMD,
American doctors of 12 different specializations approved the usage of marijuana in medicinal purposes.
During the course of the survey, more than 1,500 doctors from 48 states responded that they would
advocate the legalization of medical marijuana to make it an option for patients who need it.
(5) Drug consumption is always connected to the risk of developing an addiction. Even such
“harmless” and legalized drugs as alcohol and tobacco annually cause millions of deaths worldwide.
However, in the case of marijuana, there might be exceptions—given that it is prescribed for medicinal
purposes, and under the control of a doctor. This drug can ease pain, help seriously ill people alleviate or
eliminate their symptoms, and can even become an alternative to traditional opiate painkillers.
Therefore, under certain conditions and regulations, marijuana can be used as a recreational drug.
