H. Read the article about trash in the desert. Find and correct 9 mistakes with superlatives.
The Arabian Desert in the Middle East is one of the most hot environments on Earth, and it
has the less amount of rainfall. But to the camel, it is home. The camel is one of the most strong
animals in the world. Camels can go for many days with only a little food and water. When they do
find water, they probably drink the most quick of any land animal. Adult camels can drink about 25
to 30 gallons (95–114 liters) in ten minutes. Unfortunately, finding water is not the seriousest
problem camels face.

Most dangerous threat to camels comes from humans. Tourists in the desert leave trash
behind. Camels think the trash is food and eat it. This is very dangerous for the camels, because it
can kill them.

One of the more polluted part of the desert is outside the city of Abu Dhabi. Each year, many
camels die there from eating trash. Cameron Oliver has been trying to change this. Since he was
eight years old, Cameron has been telling people that trash is very dangerous for camels. Of all the

young people in Abu Dhabi, Cameron has worked most hard to help the camels. When he was 12,
Cameron became the most young person to win an Abu Dhabi award for community service.

Last Titanic Survivor Dead at Age 97

LONDON, June 31, 2009 Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the 1912 Titanic disaster, was dying
yesterday in Southampton, England. She was 97.

Dean had no memories of the disaster. She was only two months old when she and her family
were passengers on the luxury ship’s first voyage. The ship sailed from Dean’s hometown of
Southampton, England, to New York City. On the night of April 14, they slept in their cabin when
the ship hit a huge iceberg. Dean’s father became alarmed and immediately sent his wife and two
children to the lifeboats. Dean was believing her father’s quick action saved their lives. Most
people thought the ship was unsinkable. “My father didn’t take a chance,” she said.

Other passengers weren’t as lucky. Just a few hours after the Titanic struck the iceberg, the ship
was sinking to the bottom of the Atlantic. More than1500 passengers and crew lost their lives,
including Dean’s father.

Dean’s family returned to England, where she spent most of her long life. In her later years, she
attended Titanic conferences and gave interviews. She moved into a nursing home when she was
breaking her hip three years ago. Charles Haas, president of the Titanic International Society said
that with Dean’s death history lost “the last living link to the story” of the Titanic.

H. The Arabian Desert in the Middle East is one of the hottest environments on Earth, and it has
the least amount of rainfall. But to the camel, it is home. The camel is one of the strongest
animals in the world. Camels can go for many days with only a little food and water. When they
do find water, they probably drink the most quickly of any land animal. Adult camels can drink
about 25 to 30 gallons (95–114 liters) in ten minutes. Unfortunately, finding water is not the most
serious problem camels face. The most dangerous threat to camels comes from humans. Tourists
in the desert leave trash behind. Camels think the trash is food and eat it. This is very dangerous
for the camels, because it can kill them.
One of the most polluted parts of the desert is outside the city of Abu Dhabi. Each year, many
camels die there from eating trash. Cameron Oliver has been trying to change this. Since he was
eight years old, Cameron has been telling people that trash is very dangerous for camels. Of all
the young people in Abu Dhabi, Cameron has worked the hardest to help the camels. When he
was 12, Cameron became the youngest person to win an Abu Dhabi award for community
service.
I. The Greendex Survey: Some Overall Conclusions
• According to a recent Greendex survey, people in India were the greenest consumers in the
world. They scored lower in transportation than the Chinese were, but they scored higher than the
Chinese in three other categories.
• Mexicans were more concerned about green transportation than green food or goods. For them,
the lowest score of all was in the housing category.
• Germans scored high in the transportation category. However, they were less concerned about
housing than goods. They did better in the food category than the housing.
• The Japanese were one of the leastconcerned nationalities overall. They had one of the worst
scores in the housing category.

Last Titanic Survivor Dead at Age 97
LONDON, June 31, 2009 Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the 1912 Titanic disaster, was dying – died
yesterday in Southampton, England. She was 97.
Dean had no memories of the disaster. She was only two months old when she and her family were passengers
on the luxury ship’s first voyage. The ship sailed – was sailing from Dean’s hometown of Southampton,
England, to New York City. On the night of April 14, they slept – were sleeping in their cabin when the ship
hit a huge iceberg. Dean’s father became alarmed and immediately sent his wife and two children to the
lifeboats. Dean was believing– believed her father’s quick action saved their lives. Most people thought the
ship was unsinkable. “My father didn’t take a chance,” she said.
Other passengers weren’t as lucky. Just a few hours after the Titanic struck the iceberg, the ship was sinking–
sank to the bottom of the Atlantic. More than1500 passengers and crew lost their lives, including Dean’s
father.
Dean’s family returned to England, where she spent most of her long life. In her later years, she attended
Titanic conferences and gave interviews. She moved into a nursing home when
she was breaking- broke her hip three years ago. Charles Haas, president of the Titanic International
Society said that with Dean’s death history lost “the last living link to the story” of the Titanic.
