Read the following passage, then choose the best answer.
Recent research reveals that the degradation of agricultural soils, forests, woodlands, coastal fisheries,
and wildlife resources is more and more serious. The majority of the estimated costs of environmental
degradation comes from forests and natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate.
More than 50% of the original forest has been converted to agricultural land by slash – and – burn.
Despite land expansion, productivity has declined because of soil erosion. Fish, timber, and non – timber forest
product stocks are decreasing. As a result, coastal towns have begun to experience severe water shortages.
Hydropower is dropping. Wildlife populations and biodiversity are in serious decline and many species face
extinction. Poor forest management and soil degradation result in huge economic losses. The degradation of
water increases the costs and reduces the quality of both water and power. The prospects for economic
development and poverty reduction are dependent on natural resources. Rural households rely on natural
resources for their livelihoods. ( fisheries, and wildlife provide protein in diets.) Urban economic activities
depend on reliable hydroelectric power. However, peole do not have much awareness of protecting the
environment on which their life depends.

QUESTIONS 36-40: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always stressed "character" or
"social" skills through extracurricular activities, including organized sports. Because most schools start at around 8 o'clock
every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many students
do not return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad range of extracurricular activities available. Most
schools, for instance, publish their own student newspapers, and some have their own radio stations. Almost all have
student orchestras, bands, and choirs.
Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming pools, tennis courts, tracks, and
stadiums - with the public. Often the students themselves organize and support school activities and raise money through
car washes, baby-sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and local business often also help a group that, for example, has a
chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship, or take a camping trip. Such activities
not only give pupils a chance to be together outside of normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of "school spirit"
among the students and in the community.
