breeding grounds for wild birds now face (11) uncertain future . As neighboring cities (12) greater and greater

consumer pay for it ? The next time you turn on the tap , it might be worth considering some of these problems , before you
have wasted too much water .
b. Read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer.
The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem . Doctors think that the annual medical cost for lung cancer ,
heart disease , and other illnesses connected to smoking is between 12 and 35 million pounds .
And smoking costs society money in other ways . Between 27 and 61 billion pounds are spent each year on sick days
when people don’t go to work , on wages that you don’t get when you don’t go to work , and on work lost at the company when

you are sick .
This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes . This does not count
fire started by cigarettes , which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and injure another four thousand . Smoking costs every
man , woman and child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and
wages . When you add another fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost , that come to one hundred and
sixty to four hundred and ten pounds . If everyone stopped smoking , a family of four could have up to one thousand six
hundred and forty pounds a year more .
Smoking will also cause other problems . People who don’t smoke will live longer , and so they will take money from
the government when they are older . But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes .
In the end , the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds . The good health of the people is the true value for us
all .

A. would have more money.
B. would live longer .
C. would have less money
