Question 3. (5 points). Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each
paragraph of the text. Write your answer in the space provided.

A. Possible problems due to global warming

B. Warmer summer in Dallas
C. Help from methane
D. One important step
E. Getting warmer and warmer in somewhere
F. Problems bigger than benefits
G. But possible benefits too
H. Disagreement about temperatures
1. __________
Another strategy is to burn as much as methane as possible. This aids CO2 to the air, but since methane
traps twenty times as much heat as CO2, the net result is worth-while. The gas in many garbage landfills
is already being used in a number of places around the United States. It is being used to heat thousands of
homes.
2.__________
Here is what global warming could do in a few years: in Dallas, a doubled level of carbon dioxide
would increase the number of days a year with temperatures above 100 degrees from nineteen to seven-
eight. On sixty-eight days, as opposed to the current four, the temperature wouldn’t fall below 80 degrees
at night. One hundred and sixty-two days a year, the temperature would top 90 degrees.
3. __________
While many nations could end up milder climates, the change - perhaps 100 times faster than at any
time in human history – could be so drastic that many of the benefits would be lost. There could be
crowded of environmental refugees, as well, making the tragedy of the Dust Bowl era seem mild in
comparison.
4. __________
Other scientists think the changes will be much more gradual, even beneficial. After all, Canada would
not complain if the productive corn-growing lands were shifted north. While many nations could end up
with milder climates, the change-perhaps 100 times faster than at any time in human history—could be so
drastic that many of the benefits would be lost. There could be crowds of environmental refugees, as well,
making the tragedy of the Dust Bowl era seem mild in comparison.
5. __________

What can we do? Humanity’s contribution to the greenhouse effect comes from so many basic activities
that we can’t hope to eliminate it completely. Some steps have already been taken. Since the 1970s, the
use of CFCs as aerosol-can propellants has seen banned in the United States.
There, in its harshest form, the unemployed work in exchange for welfare. But countries with
governments to the left of America's, including Australia and France, are now also exploiting ways to link
income support and employment policy.

Question 4. (10 points): You are going to read a passage and then choose the best answer. Write
your answer in the space provided.
When one hears the expression “role models”, one’s mind naturally jumps to celebrities, especially as far
as young people are concerned. Therefore, it would be more than natural to assume that teenagers, heavily
influenced by the media, are impressed by well-known Hollywood stars, famous musicians and
internationally renowned athletes. However, nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, according
to a recent survey, over 75% of teens who filled out an online questionnaire claimed that the role model
for whom they had the greatest respect was not a famous personality, but a family member. It seems that
the qualities that make a good role model are more complex than researchers first assumed. For example,
Nancy L, a teenage girl from Wisconsin, described her role model as a woman who had a clear sense of
what was important to her, making the effort to create things that would make a real difference in the
world. The woman she was referring to was her favorite aunt, who was a painter and sculptor. Role
models come into young people’s lives in various ways. They are family members, educators, peers and
ordinary people encountered in their daily lives. Students emphasized that being a role model is not
confined to those with international fame or unbelievable wealth. Instead, they said the greatest attribute
of a role model is the ability to inspire others. Teachers were often mentioned as examples in this case,
ones that are dedicated to encouraging students, helping them push their limits and strengthen their
characters.
Another quality high on the list was the ability to overcome obstacles. In addition to parents, peers often
made up a large percentage of such role models. Young people are at a point in their lives when they are
developing the skills of initiative and capability, so it is only natural that they admire people who show
them that success in the face of difficulty is possible. A final and perhaps unexpected character trait that
the youth of today admire is a clear set of values. Children admire people whose actions are consistent
with their beliefs; in other words, who practice what they preach. Role models help them to understand
the significance of honesty, motivation and the desire to do general good. For example, local politicians
who clearly struggle to improve living conditions in their cities are high on their lists of role models.
Perhaps what should be understood from what young people consider important in a role model is that
each and every person around them affects them to a certain extent, perhaps much more than most parents
think. This makes it crucial for adults to be aware of their influence on the young and set the best
examples possible.
