The way the Earth interacts (1)_______ the sun's energy can be displayed in a diagram

coming in than was going out, the earth's temperature would increase. On the other hand, if too
much energy is reflected, and not absorbed, we'll see a decrease in the earth's temperatures. Of

IV. Read the text and questions below.

For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D.

BE SPECIAL IN YOUR WAY

Everybody likes to feel that they're somebody special. Sadly, many of us grow up believing that
we're not special at all. We wish that we could be more attractive or better at sports. We wish
we had more money or nicer clothes. Like the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, or the Cowardly Lion
from The Wizard of Oz, we think we're not good enough just as we are. In the film, The Tin Man
wishes he had a heart. The Scarecrow wishes he had a brain, and the Lion wants courage.
Eventually, each of them realizes that he already has what he wants. Nearly all parents want us
to be the best we can be. They occasionally encourage us to do better by comparing us to
others. They mean well, but the message we usually get is that we're not good enough. There
will always be somebody out there that is better than we are. There are people around who
may not be as intelligent as we are but who are better at sports. Or they may not be as
handsome, but they have more money. It is unthinkable for us to be better than everybody else
all the time. Like the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, we all need what we

believe will make us better people. We often don't understand that we already have the very
things we look for. Our parents often forget to tell us we are somebody special. They often tell
us that we are good enough just the way we are. Perhaps no one told them when they were
growing up, or maybe they just forgot. Either way, it's up to us to remind them sometimes that
each of us, in a way, is special. What we are . . . is enough.
