amounts of data available online. In the past, students were limited to their school’s
selection of books. In __( 3 )__ cases, they got to the school library and found out that
someone had already taken the books they needed. Nowadays, such inconvenience can be
avoided since the Internet never runs out of information. Students, however, do have to
make sure that the information they find online is true. Teachers have also benefited from
the homework __( 4 )___is done on the Internet. They do not need to carry students’ papers
around with them any more. This is because online___( 5 )__ allow students to
electronically upload their homework for their teachers to read and mark. Of course, this
also means that students can no longer use the excuse that the dog ate their homework!

services are efficient and sustainable, the World Bank says in a new report.
In the next two decades, cities are predicted to expand by another two billion residents, as
people move in unprecedented __( 2 )__ from rural areas to pursue hopes and aspirations in
cities. More than 90 per cent of this urban population growth is expected to occur in the
developing world, __( 3)__ many cities are already struggling to provide basic needs such as

3. Around 200 million people are employed in tourism worldwide, making it the largest
industry in the modern global economy. It is estimated that three-quarters of a billion people
go on holiday each year, and __( 1 )__ industry planners expect this figure to double by
2020. Some of the biggest beneficiaries are less developed countries, where it is often their
main __( 2 )__ of income. __( 3 )__, along with the economic benefits, this mass
movement of people has resulted in environment. People often forget the damage caused by
carbon emissions from aircraft, __( 4 )__ contribute directly to global warming.
Deforestation has cleared land in order to build hotels, airports and roads, and this has
destroyed wildlife. In some areas, water shortages are now common because of the need to

fill swimming pools and water golf courses for tourists. By pushing up prices for goods and
services, tourism can also be harmful to people living in tourist destinations.
In response to these __( 5 )__, some travel operators now offer environment-friendly holidays.
Many of these aim to reduce the negative effects of tourism by promoting only hotels that have
invested equipment to recycle waste and use energy and water efficiently. Increasingly, tourists
are also being reminded to show respect for customs of the people whose countries they are
going to visit, and to support local businesses, such as restaurants and shops which depend on
tourism for their main income.

IX: READING:

1. Wildlife conservationists are celebrating this week as the silver-backed chevrotain – a deerlike species thought to be extinct for 30 years – has been spotted in Vietnam. “There was
a question mark hanging over its current status,” Andrew Tilker, Asian species officer at
Global Wildlife Conservation, told New Scientist. “Erasing that question mark was a huge deal


for us.”
On Monday, Tilker and his colleagues published a paper in the journal Nature Ecology and
Evolution detailing their use of camera traps to snap photos of the elusive silver-backed
chevrotain, also known as the Vietnam mouse—deer. Each trap was equipped with motion and
heat sensors that triggered it to photograph anything that passed nearby – and on more than
200 occasions, the traps snapped photos of silver-backed chevrotains in the forests
near Nha Trang. Not only were the images the first confirmed detections of the species since
1990, but they were also the first-ever images of the animals in the wild. The silver-backed
chevrotain is adorable. But that’s not why the species’ detection is so important. The loss of a
single species can have a domino effect on an ecosystem, causing other species to follow suit.
Additionally, Earth’s biodiversity – in other words, the variety of species on the planet – is
linked to everything from our air quality to our healthcare.
“Without biodiversity, there is no future for humanity,” Oxford University zoologist David
Macdonald told The Guardian in 2018 – and now that we know that we haven’t lost the silverbacked chevrotain, we can work to ensure its continued contribution to our planetary
ecosystem. “For so long, this species has seemingly only existed as part or imagination,” An
Nguyen, an associate conservation scientist for Global Wildlife Conservation, said in a press
release. “Discovering that it is, indeed, still out there, is the first step in ensuring we don’t lose
it again, and we’re moving quickly now to figure out how best to protect it.”

2. 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 le 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.”

3. Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink
this water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be
similar to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work
better. After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food.
Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of
that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it.
It’s better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better
to drink between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in
our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow,
you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to
drink more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.

5. The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing
and sneezing, and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus
may also shed in blood, urine and faces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission
through contact with a wide range of bodily fluids. Certainly, person-to-person spread has been
confirmed in community and healthcare settings across Asia and into Europe. There is also a
possibility that asymptomatic carriers may be able to infect people. Public Health England
(PHE) has classified the COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high consequence infectious
disease (HCID) in the UK.
The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely
used by healthcare professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the
spread of infections and to control outbreaks they do occur. The WHO has issued interim
guidance regarding IPC when COVID-19 is suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance
issued by PHE.
PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or
severe acute respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or
are immunocompromised are at risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line
staff, midwives are also familiar with the recommended IPC principles and measures, and

ensure they have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient
with suspected COVID-19.
