1. If you want to farm green, two decisions about how you grow your crops are likely to have
the biggest impact on achieving your goal - how much tillage you use and how well you
manage nitrogen. or thousands - of other decisions, practices and Although there probably
are hundreds of technologies that can contribute to a green farming system, these two
factors alone can Com close to eliminating your cropping system's global warming
footprint. At the same time, you will also reduce your operation's impact on soil and water
erosion, as well as surface and groundwater degradation from fertilizers and other
agricultural inputs. You may also be able to tum this environmental stewardship into extra
cash by selling carbon credits associated with no-till. This surprising finding that intensive
crop production practices in use today can be nearly carbon neutral - is emerging from
research on both greenhouse gas production and greenhouse gas capture associated with
production of annual crops. The research, shows that basic crop management decisions to
reduce tillage and use nitrogen more efficiently can cut a farming operation's impact on
global warming gases by 90% or more. In a best-case scenario, which would include no-till,
these everyday practices come close to zeroing out a farming operation's greenhouse gas
footprint.

6. Passage A
Hot yoga refers to yoga practiced in a heated environment, with the room temperature
generally reaching 90 to 105 degrees. The theory behind it is that hot yoga helps the body
to sweat out toxins while allowing the practitioner to safely achieve deeper poses. While
the practice can offer health benefits and a sense of well-being, people practicing hot yoga,
especially beginners, should take certain precautions, according to Diana Zotos, a certified
YOga instructor and physical therapist in the Rehabilitation Department at Hospital for
Special Surgery in Manhattan. "Yoga of any type is physically challenging, and the heated
environment of hot yoga makes the practice especially demanding," Zotos says. "The heat
makes people feel as if they can stretch deeper into poses and can give them a false sense of
flexibility. This can lead to muscle strains or damage to the joint, including ligaments and
cartilage."
Passage B
Rose Parkes, a British Wheel of Yoga Teacher, is assessing the role of yoga in prisons as part
of her PhD at the University of Leicester Department of Criminology. In her research, she
discusses the way in which spiritual activities can empower and motivate prisoners to
survive their imprisonment. Rose is investigating whether yoga enables individuals to adjust
to the prison environment and post-prison life. She believes that prisoners can benefit from
yoga because it is a practice which helps to foster understanding, self-acceptance, peace and
wellbeing. Working as a part-time Probation Officer, Rose witnessed the effectiveness of
the technique at forming positive relationships with other offenders, prompting the study to
ascertain whetheR vee can help people cope with incarceration. She added: "Prisons are
highly stressful environments and yoga may offer prisoners a much needed physical and
mental release of the tension of prison li paradoxically turning prison cells into places of
retreat, where prisoners can develop self-discipline and concentration skills."

W : I'm going over to the student recreation center to play some bridge.

W : Actually, the cards of one of the four players are turned face up. That player is called the
dummy.
M: I wouldn't want to be called that. When you are the dummy what do you do while the
cards are being played?
W: Anything you want. Sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone. I
like to stand behind my partner and watch.
M: You know, I've heard that bridge is habit forming. You should be careful not to play so
much that you don't get your studying done.
W: Don't worry about me. I only play Thursdays after dinner, and sometimes when they
need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you. M: Thanks. But I have a pretty heavy
workload this semester. I already spend my evenings doing things I don't really know how to
do yet.

the administration to reconsider the parking lot plan.
M: But, maybe you could sign this petition? We're going to submit it to the administration
to demonstrate how the students feel about this.

coalition. May be you could come to some of our meetings. We get together once a

35. A new way of removing carbon dioxide from a stream of air could provide a significant tool
in the battle against climate change. The new system can work on the gas at virtually any
concentration level, even down to the roughly 400 parts per million currently found in the
atmosphere.
Most methods of removing carbon dioxide from a stream of gas require higher
concentrations, such as those found in the flue (1)____ from fossil fuel-based power plants. A few
variations have been developed that can work with the low concentrations found in air, but the new
method is significantly less energy-intensive and expensive, the researchers say.
The technique, based on passing air through a stack of charged electrochemical plates, is
described in a new paper in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, by MIT postdoc Sahag
Voskian, who developed the work during his PhD, and T. Alan Hatton, the Ralph Landau Professor of
Chemical Engineering.
The device is essentially a large, specialized battery that absorbs carbon dioxide from the air
(or other gas (2)____) passing over its electrodes as it is being charged up, and then releases the gas
as it is being discharged. In operation, the device would simply alternate between (3)____, with fresh
air or feed gas being blown through the system during the charging cycle, and then the pure,
concentrated carbon dioxide being blown out during the discharging.
