Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people
in the world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We live in
a world of water. But almost all of it about 97% - is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be
used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the worlds water is fresh. Most
of this water is not easily available to man because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps.
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of the water
we use finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth
as rain. Water is used and reused again. It is never used up. Although the world as a whole has
plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does not fall evenly over the earth.

wildlife species, as well as people.
WWF safeguards hundreds of species around the world, but we focus special attention on our
flagship species: giant pandas, tigers, polar bears, endangered whales and dolphins, rhinos,
elephants, marine turtles and great apes. These species not only need special measures and extra
protection in order to survive, they also serve as umbrella species: helping them helps numerous
other species that live in the same habitats.WWF and its partners have a number of projects around
the world to reduce Human-Wildlife Conflict and improve the livelihoods of the people affected.In
addition to our flagship animals, we work to protect numerous species in peril around the world
that live within our priority ecoregions. Large predators like snow leopards and grizzly bears,
migratory species like whooping cranes and songbirds, and a host of other species facing threats
also benefit from WWF's conservation efforts. Our wildlife trade experts at TRAFFIC work to
ensure that trade in wildlife products doesn't harm a species, while also fighting against illegal and
unsustainable trade.contact your nearest regional centre.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean
water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and
garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas
have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It
contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist
anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial
wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did not have
the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignores the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea
occupies 1% of the worlds water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine
pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in
the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage.
Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should
do something now.

The planet Earth is 4,600 million years old. It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous length
of time because it has little meaning for us. We can, however, simplify the idea to make it more
understandable. We can compare the planet Earth to a person of forty-six years of age.Nothing is known
about the first seven year of this persons life. Very little information exists about the middle period either. It
was only at the age of forty-two that the Earth began to flower.Dinosaur and great reptiles did not appear
until one year ago, when the planet was forty five. Mammals only arrived eight months ago. In the middle of
last week, man-like apes became ape-like men and became communicate with each other. Last weekend,
the Ice Age covered the Earth.Modern man has only been around for four hours. During the last hour man
discovered agriculture. The industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago.
During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has
increased his numbers to terrible proportions and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals.
He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search for fuels. Now he stands, like a violent, spoiled child,
delighted at the speech of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all the
life which exists in the solar system.

great apes, the whales, seals etc. thought to be in danger of extinction.But even more important, perhaps
than individual kinds of animals and plants, whole habitats are in danger of vanishing: marshes are being

and paper. What would our world be like if all the wild animals and wild plants vanished? -Would our life still

The United Nations (UN), international organization of countries created to promote world peace and
cooperation. The UN was founded after World War II ended in 1945. Its mission is to maintain world peace,
develop good relations between countries, promote cooperation in solving the worlds problems, and
encourage respect for human rights.
The UN is an organization of countries that agree to cooperate with one another. It brings together
countries that are rich and poor, large and small, and have different social and political systems. Member
nations pledge to settle their disputes peacefully, to refrain from using force or the threat of force against
other countries, and to refuse help to any country that opposes UN actions.
UN membership is open to any country willing to further the UN mission and, abide by its rules each country,
no matter how large or small, has an equal voice and vote. Each country is also expected to pay dues to
support the UN. As of 2004 the UN had 191 members, including nearly every country in the world.
The UNs influence in world affairs has fluctuated over the years, but the organization gained new
prominence beginning in the 1990s. It was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. Still, the UN faces
constant challenges. It must continually secure the cooperation of its member nations because the
organization has little independent power or authority. But getting that support is not always easy. Many
nations are reluctant to defer their own authority and follow the dictates of the UN.

Read the following passage choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
The Saola, one of the world's rarest mammals, is a forest-dwelling bovine found only in the Annamite
ranges of Vietnam and Laos. The species was first discovered in Vietnam in 1996 in Huong Thuy district of
Thua Thien-Hue.
Le Ngoc Tuan, director of the reserve in Thua Thien Hue province, said his organization carried out a
survey from November 1996 to February 1997 in A Luoi, Nam Dong, Huong Thuy, Huong Tra and Phong
Dien districts. The survey showed that the rare mammal appeared in 19 communes in those districts. Officials
also collected 27 pairs of horns and skulls. Mr. Tuan said The Saola is at a high risk of being hunted and will
panic if it sees hunting dogs in the woods. Since its discovery, it is believed to have rapidly declined in the
face of ever-increasing human presence, although the actual size of the remaining population is still
unknown. According to scientists and researchers on wildlife, Saola numbers had crashed to around 200
worldwide.
The WWF and Vietnam authorities have carried out a plan for the period between 2005-2010 in six central
provinces (from Nghe An to Quang Nam). Forest wardens have eliminated all traps to catch the Saola and
banned hunting dogs from protected areas. Three protection stations have been established to protect the
endangered species.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people in the
world. Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We live in a world of
water. But almost all of it about 97% - is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be used for drinking,
farming, and manufacturing. Only about 3% of the worlds water is fresh. Most of this water is not easily
available to man because it is locked in glaciers and icecaps.
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of the water we use
finds its way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain. Water is
used and reused again. It is never used up. Although the world as a whole has plenty of fresh water, some
regions have a water shortage. Rain does not fall evenly over the earth. Some regions are always too dry,
and others too wet. A region that usually gets enough rain may suddenly have a serious dry spell and another

It is often said that books are always a good friends and reading is an active mental process. Unlike TV,
books make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and become smarter. Reading improves
concentration and focus. Reading books takes brain power. It requires you to focus on what you are reading
for long periods. Unlike magazines, Internet posts or E-mails that might contain small pieces of information.
Books tell the whole story. Since you must concentrate in order to read, you will get better at concentration.
Many studies show if you do not use your memory, you lose it. Reading helps you stretch your memory
muscles. Reading requires remembering details, facts and figures and in literature, plot lines, themes and
characters.
Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when you were at
elementary school you learned how to infer the meaning of one word by reading the context of the other
words in the sentence? While reading books, especially challenging ones, you will find yourself exposed to
many new words.
Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to go with it. Why?
Because books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide information that goes deeper than just classroom
discussions. By reading more books, you become better informed and more of an expert on the topics you
read about. This expertise translates into higher self-esteem. Since you are so well-read, people look to you
for answers. Your feelings about yourself can only get better.
Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information you have got, the richer
your knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by letting you see what other cities and countries have
to offer before you visit them.

Read this passage and choose the best given answer A, B, C or D for each question:
The first system of communication of animals is natural. Many kinds of animals have ways of
communicating with each other. And one of the most interesting examples is that of bees. These insects
communicate with each other by dancing. The most important kind of dance that they do is concerned with
food. They get their food from flowers, of course, from plants and trees. When a bee has found some food, it
returns to the other bees and can give them three basic kinds of information about the food: which direction it
is in, whether it is nearby or a long way away, and whether it is good to eat or poisonous.
The other kind of system of communication of animals is artificial. It means animals learn it; in this
case, they learn from man. Several famous experiments have been carried out with chimpanzees, trying to
teach them human language.
One of these experiments was done with a chimpanzee called Sarah. Sarah was taught to understand
a system of symbols which represented words. The symbols were cut out of coloured plastic, and each
different shape stood for a different word. For example, a red square stood for banana, Sarahs favorite fruit.
Soon Sarah could not only understand words, but even sentences. She could obey orders: if her human
friends put down the symbols for apple in cup, she would put the apple in the cup. Later, she began giving
the scientists orders she was writing her own sentences, and she got upset if the scientists did not obey
her. We do not yet know whether chimpanzees will ever learn to use language to communicate as freely as
human beings do, but the results so far suggest that this is at least a possibility.

We are all slowly destroying the earth. The seas and rivers are too dirty to swim in. There is so much
smoke in the air that it is unhealthy to live in many of the worlds cities. In one well-known city, for example,
poisonous gases from cars pollute the air so much that traffic policemen have to wear oxygen masks.

result, farmers in parts of Africa cannot grow enough to eat. In certain countries in Asia there is too little rice.
Moreover, we do not take enough care of the countryside. Wild animals are quickly disappearing. For
instance, tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many for them to survive. However, it isnt
enough simply to talk about the problem. We must act now before it is too late to do anything about it. Join us
now. Save the Earth. This is too important to ignore.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.
Its always thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real
equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man- dominated society.
Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Womens place was in the kitchen and womens
work was housework. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights,
even the right to choose a husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they
thought they were more intelligent and important than women. Men considered women their property.
Sometimes, women were mistreated by their husbands and suffered this as a fate. Many parents did not even
want to have female children.
Thanks to the womens liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are equal to men on
every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as him.
Women can do everything that men can and women can do one thing that no men can; they produce children.
