Part 2 : Read the following passage and answer the questions.
The world's oceans are so vast that they can cope with the present levels of pollution. However, little is known about the long-term effects of such slow poisoning. The most serious problem of modern time is that man is destroying the earth's natural resources and transforming huge areas into waste land. As a result, it is becoming extremely difficult to grow enough to feed the world's rapidly increasing population. A way of protecting all wild life on the earth must also be found as many species are in danger of disappearing completely from the face of the earth. The smoke in the atmosphere, for example, is increasing so much that the amount of sunlight has been reduced in many cities. Man's whole environment is being changed in a serious way.

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from ? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water pollution.

In 1783, two French brothers built the first balloon to take people into the air. One hundred and twenty years lately, in 1903, the Wright brothers built the first plane with an engine and flew in it. This was in the United States.
Then, in 1918, the US Post Office begun the first airmail service. Aeroplanes changed a much in the next thirty years. Then, in 1950s, aeroplanes became much faster because they had jet engines. In1976,Concorde was build in the UK and France. It is the fastest passenger plane in the world and it can fly at 2500 kilometers an hour, so the journey in London to New York is only four hours. Today millions of people travel on aeroplane, and it is difficult to think of a world without them.
