Questions 36-40. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area.
For moderate climate change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger
the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will become. Global
warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people. This is mainly
because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we
now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more
abundant rainfall, and expanding crop production zones. But people in other areas
will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea level, more erratic
rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including
seafood) that sustain people in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or
regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are limited
by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favourable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, "Taken as a whole, the range
of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are
likely to be significant and to increase over time.”

Read the text and choose the best answers.
The most obvious advantage of living green is that it helps reduce environmental
pollution. This is done by practising the 3Rs. The first R means choosing products very
carefully to reduce waste as much as possible. Reusing involves the repeated use of
items. The third R is about separating materials that can be recycled and later used for a
new purpose.
There are also economic benefits to living green. Reducing the use of energy and
water can help save money on household bills. Furthermore, reusing products and
materials is another way to make saving. It helps save on production costs since creating
new products wastes materials and is expensive. Recycled products also last longer than
new ones, making them a better and more eco-friendly option.
 Lastly, going green offers health benefits. It reduces air pollutants by making the
air we breathe cleaner and healthier. This means fewer diseases and doctor's
appointments. Another way to improve your health is to purchase organic foods and
green products for your household. They don't use harmful chemicals that can lead to
health issues. In turn, you are also supporting responsible farming methods that protect
the environment.
