Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
We are a planet of seven billion people, and this number is growing by about 370,000 people
every day. This is putting a huge strain on the planet's natural resources. For many governments
and environmental organizations, the race is on to drastically reduce our consumption of
resources before they run out.
Water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends on
the availability of clean, fresh water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and plays a
major role in energy production. Although 70 percent of the world is covered in water, only 2.5
percent of that is fresh water, and less than one percent of that freshwater is readily available to
us. Yet we often overestimate how much water we have, and reduce it further through pollution
or inefficient use. Some 92 percent of all fresh water used annually is dedicated to growing
plants and raising animals for food. This means that if water runs out, our food supply might
follow. In India, it is estimated that future water shortages could reduce grain harvests by 25%.
In a country where the population exceeds 1.2 billion people and is growing rapidly every year,
this is a huge concern. India, like many developing countries, is already struggling to provide for
its population. While most people in developed countries can get water at the turn of a tap, nearly
four billion people elsewhere lack access to safe water, according to United Nations
Development Report.
Rain forests are another endangered-resource. While rain forests are critically important to
humanity, they are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of
deforestation is conversion of forest land for agriculture. Often called the "Lungs of the Planet”,
rain forests once covered 14 percent of the Earth's land surface, but this has shrunk to only six
percent. Every second, an area of rain forest, the size of a football field, is destroyed at this rate.
Rain forests will possibly disappear completely in less than 40 years.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
Florists, personal trainers, professors, and nutritionists all have healthy jobs according to
research. There are many reasons for this. A florist, for example, sells flowers and plants to
customers. This is very relaxing work. A personal trainer, on the other hand, is usually very fit.
He or she trains other people to lose weight and to keep fit.6
However, research also shows that some jobs are 'unhealthy'. They cause a lot of stress and
worry. For example, a taxi driver drives all day. He often faces traffic jams and difficult
passengers too. A firefighter puts out dangerous fires and sometimes saves people from burning
buildings.
Most people are looking for the perfect job. They want a job that is interesting, with a good
salary and not much stress. However, it is difficult to get everything. Healthy, relaxing jobs are
usually not very well paid. On the other hand, people with stressful jobs often get good salaries.

good health, or the time to enjoy life.
