STEPHEN HAWKING
There is a man driving around in a motorized wheelchair in Cambridge, England. He can only move his eyes and two
fingers on his left hand. He communicates through a computer. He types words on the computer and the computer speaks for
him. This man is Stephen Hawking. People know him for his courage and his sense of humor. He is also the greatest physicist
since Albert Einstein.
Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. His father was a specialist in tropical diseases. Stephen wanted to
be a scientist too. He went to the University of Oxford and received a degree in physics. He then went to the University of
Cambridge to study for a Ph.D. During this time doctors discovered that he had ALS, which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s
disease. This fatal disease weakens all of the body’s muscles. Most people with ALS live for five years. The doctors thought
Hawking would live for only two and a half more years.When Hawking heard this, he became very depressed.
At about this time he met Jane Wilde, a language student at Cambridge. They fell in love and got married in 1965. Hawking
has often said that his wife gave him the courage to continue to study and work. Although Hawking had become more

severely paralyzed, he became a professor at Cambridge. Luckily, the work of a physicist only requires one thing: the mind.
Hawking had a son and then a daughter. He had another son 12 years later when his disease had gotten much worse. His
youngest son has never heard his father’s real voice. He has only heard the voice from the computer. Hawking does research
about how the universe began. He sees connections and works out explanations that other people cannot. His research has
influenced many other scientists. Some of his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet. His most
famous ideas are about black holes. Black holes are not really holes. They are areas in space that are very dense. They are so
dense that even light cannot pass through. That is why they are called black holes.
As his disease got worse, money became a problem for Stephen Hawking. He had a lot of medical expenses. He needed
special wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours a day, and machines to help him read and speak. To earn extra money, Hawking gave
speeches and published articles. Then someone told him to write a book that explained the universe to ordinary people.
Hawking agreed and wrote A Brief History of Time. The book sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and Hawking became a
millionaire. Even though most people could not understand Hawking’s ideas, he amazed them. Hawking became world
famous. He met the Queen of England, he was on the covers of magazines, and he appeared on television shows.
In 1990, Hawking ended his 25-year marriage. This was shocking to many of his friends because his wife, Jane, was very
devoted to him. She took care of all of his needs. She fed him, bathed him, dressed him, and raised their children by herself.
Hawking left her for a younger woman - his nurse! They were married in 1995.
Hawking’s strong personality and spirit have helped him to live with ALS for over 30 years. He has helped to make people
aware of ALS and other disabilities. Hawking teaches us that even though a person is physically disabled, the mind has no
limits.

each of the questions from 30 to 35.
Our carbon footprint is the estimated amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) given off as we go about our daily lives. While the
global average carbon footprint is about 4 metric tons per person each year, Americans contribute approximately 20 metric
tons of greenhouse gas per person each year. Compared to other countries, even those who use the least amount of energy in
the US - for example, a person who lives off the grid - still contribute double the carbon emissions than the global average per
person. And, not surprisingly, a person's carbon footprint increases in size as his or her income increases. So, the less you
spend, the more environmentally friendly you are.


How is it possible that people in the US who live simple lifestyles, e.g., children or the homeless, make such large
contributions to greenhouse gas emissions? The answer is simple: Each US citizen has access to various basic government
services such as firefighting and police departments, road and bridge repair, libraries, jails and prisons, the military, etc. When
these public services are divided equally among the entire US population, it significantly raises the carbon footprint per
person. In fact, according to a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the lowest carbon footprint that

can be calculated for a person living in the US is 8.5 metric tons. And shockingly, this carbon footprint corresponds to a
homeless person who sleeps in public shelters and eats in soup kitchens. While it is admirable to make changes in lifestyle to
reduce a carbon footprint, in reality, it is very difficult to do. The MIT study revealed that a "rebound effect" occurred when
someone made an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint. Take the example of a person who made the deliberate choice to
buy a hybrid car instead of a large SUV to save money on gas costs. Very often that person would use the money he or she
saved to do something else, e.g., take a long airplane trip. In this ease, just one long airplane trip produces more CO 2
emissions than driving the large SUV for a year. This ends up having a negative impact on a person's carbon footprint by
making it bigger!
Can Americans reduce their carbon footprints? According to the study, it is possible, but it would require lifestyle changes
such as giving up long-distance travel and buying fewer smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players that have large energy costs to
produce and deliver.
The most drastic way to lower the average American's US carbon footprint is to add a CO 2 tax on food, housing, and
transportation, and most Americans don't want their taxes raised. Unless we can find a way to reduce our carbon footprints,
the price we may ultimately have to pay is much higher than the amount Americans will ever have to pay in taxes.
[Fron AMERICAN ENGLISH FILE 4, Workbook, 2nd Edition, Oxford 2015]

Question 30: The idiom“lives off the grid” is closest in meaning to......
A. leads an independent life
B. does not use public utilities such as water, electricity,…
C. does not pay taxes
D. does not have a job
Question 31: A person who lives a simple lifestyle in the US has a high carbon footprint because......
A. the CO2 footprint calculation is not divided equally among all US citizens.
B. he or she has access to public services paid for by the government.
C. he or she can’t pay a tax to offset his or her carbon footprint.
D. he or she lives off the grid
Question 32: Americans with the lowest carbon footprints are usually......
A. people who serve as soldiers.
B. people who are unemployed.
C. people who have high income

D. people who have nowhere to live or eat.
Question 33: The "rebound effect"......
A. has a positive impact on an individual's carbon footprint.
B. has a negative impact on an individual’s carbon footprint.
C. has a double effect on an individual's carbon footprint.
D. has no impact on an individual's carbon footprint.
Question 34: The writer's conclusion is that......
A. finding a way to reduce the average US citizen's carbon footprint is more important than anything else to all
Americans.
B. reducing the US carbon footprint is almost impossible.
C. paying a carbon footprint tax is an easy solution.
D. to reduce the US carbon footprint, taxes should be lowered
Question 35: The average American's carbon footprint is......
A. approximately four times the global average carbon footprint per person.
B. approximately eight times more than the global average carbon footprint per person.
C. approximately five times more than the global average carbon footprint per person.

each of the questions from 36 to 41.
Our carbon footprint is the estimated amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) given off as we go about our daily lives. While the
global average carbon footprint is about 4 metric tons per person each year, Americans contribute approximately 20 metric
tons of greenhouse gas per person each year. Compared to other countries, even those who use the least amount of energy in

the US - for example, a person who lives off the grid - still contribute double the carbon emissions than the global average per
person. And, not surprisingly, a person's carbon footprint increases in size as his or her income increases. So, the less you
spend, the more environmentally friendly you are.
How is it possible that people in the US who live simple lifestyles, e.g., children or the homeless, make such large
contributions to greenhouse gas emissions? The answer is simple: Each US citizen has access to various basic government
services such as firefighting and police departments, road and bridge repair, libraries, jails and prisons, the military, etc. When
these public services are divided equally among the entire US population, it significantly raises the carbon footprint per
person. In fact, according to a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the lowest carbon footprint that
can be calculated for a person living in the US is 8.5 metric tons. And shockingly, this carbon footprint corresponds to a
homeless person who sleeps in public shelters and eats in soup kitchens. While it is admirable to make changes in lifestyle to
reduce a carbon footprint, in reality, it is very difficult to do. The MIT study revealed that a "rebound effect" occurred when
someone made an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint. Take the example of a person who made the deliberate choice to
buy a hybrid car instead of a large SUV to save money on gas costs. Very often that person would use the money he or she
saved to do something else, e.g., take a long airplane trip. In this ease, just one long airplane trip produces more CO 2
emissions than driving the large SUV for a year. This ends up having a negative impact on a person's carbon footprint by
making it bigger!
Can Americans reduce their carbon footprints? According to the study, it is possible, but it would require lifestyle changes
such as giving up long-distance travel and buying fewer smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players that have large energy costs to
produce and deliver.
The most drastic way to lower the average American's US carbon footprint is to add a CO 2 tax on food, housing, and
transportation, and most Americans don't want their taxes raised. Unless we can find a way to reduce our carbon footprints,
the price we may ultimately have to pay is much higher than the amount Americans will ever have to pay in taxes.

STEPHEN HAWKING
There is a man driving around in a motorized wheelchair in Cambridge, England. He can only move his eyes and two
fingers on his left hand. He communicates through a computer. He types words on the computer and the computer speaks for
him. This man is Stephen Hawking. People know him for his courage and his sense of humor. He is also the greatest physicist
since Albert Einstein.
Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. His father was a specialist in tropical diseases. Stephen wanted to
be a scientist too. He went to the University of Oxford and received a degree in physics. He then went to the University of
Cambridge to study for a Ph.D. During this time doctors discovered that he had ALS, which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s
disease. This fatal disease weakens all of the body’s muscles. Most people with ALS live for five years. The doctors thought
Hawking would live for only two and a half more years.When Hawking heard this, he became very depressed.
At about this time he met Jane Wilde, a language student at Cambridge. They fell in love and got married in 1965. Hawking
has often said that his wife gave him the courage to continue to study and work. Although Hawking had become more
severely paralyzed, he became a professor at Cambridge. Luckily, the work of a physicist only requires one thing: the mind.
Hawking had a son and then a daughter. He had another son 12 years later when his disease had gotten much worse. His
youngest son has never heard his father’s real voice. He has only heard the voice from the computer. Hawking does research

about how the universe began. He sees connections and works out explanations that other people cannot. His research has
influenced many other scientists. Some of his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet. His most
famous ideas are about black holes. Black holes are not really holes. They are areas in space that are very dense. They are so
dense that even light cannot pass through. That is why they are called black holes.
As his disease got worse, money became a problem for Stephen Hawking. He had a lot of medical expenses. He needed
special wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours a day, and machines to help him read and speak. To earn extra money, Hawking gave
speeches and published articles. Then someone told him to write a book that explained the universe to ordinary people.
Hawking agreed and wrote A Brief History of Time. The book sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and Hawking became a
millionaire. Even though most people could not understand Hawking’s ideas, he amazed them. Hawking became world
famous. He met the Queen of England, he was on the covers of magazines, and he appeared on television shows.


In 1990, Hawking ended his 25-year marriage. This was shocking to many of his friends because his wife, Jane, was very
devoted to him. She took care of all of his needs. She fed him, bathed him, dressed him, and raised their children by herself.
Hawking left her for a younger woman - his nurse! They were married in 1995.
Hawking’s strong personality and spirit have helped him to live with ALS for over 30 years. He has helped to make people
aware of ALS and other disabilities. Hawking teaches us that even though a person is physically disabled, the mind has no
limits.

each of the questions from 29 to 34.
Our carbon footprint is the estimated amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) given off as we go about our daily lives. While the
global average carbon footprint is about 4 metric tons per person each year, Americans contribute approximately 20 metric
tons of greenhouse gas per person each year. Compared to other countries, even those who use the least amount of energy in
the US - for example, a person who lives off the grid - still contribute double the carbon emissions than the global average per
person. And, not surprisingly, a person's carbon footprint increases in size as his or her income increases. So, the less you
spend, the more environmentally friendly you are.
How is it possible that people in the US who live simple lifestyles, e.g., children or the homeless, make such large
contributions to greenhouse gas emissions? The answer is simple: Each US citizen has access to various basic government
services such as firefighting and police departments, road and bridge repair, libraries, jails and prisons, the military, etc. When
these public services are divided equally among the entire US population, it significantly raises the carbon footprint per
person. In fact, according to a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the lowest carbon footprint that
can be calculated for a person living in the US is 8.5 metric tons. And shockingly, this carbon footprint corresponds to a
homeless person who sleeps in public shelters and eats in soup kitchens. While it is admirable to make changes in lifestyle to
reduce a carbon footprint, in reality, it is very difficult to do. The MIT study revealed that a "rebound effect" occurred when
someone made an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint. Take the example of a person who made the deliberate choice to
buy a hybrid car instead of a large SUV to save money on gas costs. Very often that person would use the money he or she
saved to do something else, e.g., take a long airplane trip. In this ease, just one long airplane trip produces more CO 2
emissions than driving the large SUV for a year. This ends up having a negative impact on a person's carbon footprint by
making it bigger!
Can Americans reduce their carbon footprints? According to the study, it is possible, but it would require lifestyle changes
such as giving up long-distance travel and buying fewer smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players that have large energy costs to
produce and deliver.
The most drastic way to lower the average American's US carbon footprint is to add a CO 2 tax on food, housing, and
transportation, and most Americans don't want their taxes raised. Unless we can find a way to reduce our carbon footprints,
the price we may ultimately have to pay is much higher than the amount Americans will ever have to pay in taxes.

STEPHEN HAWKING
There is a man driving around in a motorized wheelchair in Cambridge, England. He can only move his eyes and two
fingers on his left hand. He communicates through a computer. He types words on the computer and the computer speaks for
him. This man is Stephen Hawking. People know him for his courage and his sense of humor. He is also the greatest physicist
since Albert Einstein.
Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. His father was a specialist in tropical diseases. Stephen wanted to

be a scientist too. He went to the University of Oxford and received a degree in physics. He then went to the University of
Cambridge to study for a Ph.D. During this time doctors discovered that he had ALS, which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s
disease. This fatal disease weakens all of the body’s muscles. Most people with ALS live for five years. The doctors thought
Hawking would live for only two and a half more years.When Hawking heard this, he became very depressed.
At about this time he met Jane Wilde, a language student at Cambridge. They fell in love and got married in 1965. Hawking
has often said that his wife gave him the courage to continue to study and work. Although Hawking had become more
severely paralyzed, he became a professor at Cambridge. Luckily, the work of a physicist only requires one thing: the mind.
Hawking had a son and then a daughter. He had another son 12 years later when his disease had gotten much worse. His
youngest son has never heard his father’s real voice. He has only heard the voice from the computer. Hawking does research
about how the universe began. He sees connections and works out explanations that other people cannot. His research has
influenced many other scientists. Some of his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet. His most
famous ideas are about black holes. Black holes are not really holes. They are areas in space that are very dense. They are so
dense that even light cannot pass through. That is why they are called black holes.
As his disease got worse, money became a problem for Stephen Hawking. He had a lot of medical expenses. He needed
special wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours a day, and machines to help him read and speak. To earn extra money, Hawking gave
speeches and published articles. Then someone told him to write a book that explained the universe to ordinary people.
Hawking agreed and wrote A Brief History of Time. The book sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and Hawking became a
millionaire. Even though most people could not understand Hawking’s ideas, he amazed them. Hawking became world
famous. He met the Queen of England, he was on the covers of magazines, and he appeared on television shows.
In 1990, Hawking ended his 25-year marriage. This was shocking to many of his friends because his wife, Jane, was very
devoted to him. She took care of all of his needs. She fed him, bathed him, dressed him, and raised their children by herself.
Hawking left her for a younger woman - his nurse! They were married in 1995.
Hawking’s strong personality and spirit have helped him to live with ALS for over 30 years. He has helped to make people
aware of ALS and other disabilities. Hawking teaches us that even though a person is physically disabled, the mind has no
limits.

STEPHEN HAWKING
There is a man driving around in a motorized wheelchair in Cambridge, England. He can only move his eyes and two
fingers on his left hand. He communicates through a computer. He types words on the computer and the computer speaks for
him. This man is Stephen Hawking. People know him for his courage and his sense of humor. He is also the greatest physicist
since Albert Einstein.
Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. His father was a specialist in tropical diseases. Stephen wanted to
be a scientist too. He went to the University of Oxford and received a degree in physics. He then went to the University of
Cambridge to study for a Ph.D. During this time doctors discovered that he had ALS, which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s
disease. This fatal disease weakens all of the body’s muscles. Most people with ALS live for five years. The doctors thought
Hawking would live for only two and a half more years.When Hawking heard this, he became very depressed.
At about this time he met Jane Wilde, a language student at Cambridge. They fell in love and got married in 1965. Hawking

has often said that his wife gave him the courage to continue to study and work. Although Hawking had become more
severely paralyzed, he became a professor at Cambridge. Luckily, the work of a physicist only requires one thing: the mind.
Hawking had a son and then a daughter. He had another son 12 years later when his disease had gotten much worse. His
youngest son has never heard his father’s real voice. He has only heard the voice from the computer. Hawking does research
about how the universe began. He sees connections and works out explanations that other people cannot. His research has
influenced many other scientists. Some of his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet. His most
famous ideas are about black holes. Black holes are not really holes. They are areas in space that are very dense. They are so
dense that even light cannot pass through. That is why they are called black holes.
As his disease got worse, money became a problem for Stephen Hawking. He had a lot of medical expenses. He needed
special wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours a day, and machines to help him read and speak. To earn extra money, Hawking gave
speeches and published articles. Then someone told him to write a book that explained the universe to ordinary people.
Hawking agreed and wrote A Brief History of Time. The book sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and Hawking became a
millionaire. Even though most people could not understand Hawking’s ideas, he amazed them. Hawking became world
famous. He met the Queen of England, he was on the covers of magazines, and he appeared on television shows.


In 1990, Hawking ended his 25-year marriage. This was shocking to many of his friends because his wife, Jane, was very
devoted to him. She took care of all of his needs. She fed him, bathed him, dressed him, and raised their children by herself.
Hawking left her for a younger woman - his nurse! They were married in 1995.
Hawking’s strong personality and spirit have helped him to live with ALS for over 30 years. He has helped to make people
aware of ALS and other disabilities. Hawking teaches us that even though a person is physically disabled, the mind has no
limits.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 43 to 48.
Our carbon footprint is the estimated amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) given off as we go about our daily lives. While the
global average carbon footprint is about 4 metric tons per person each year, Americans contribute approximately 20 metric
tons of greenhouse gas per person each year. Compared to other countries, even those who use the least amount of energy in
the US - for example, a person who lives off the grid - still contribute double the carbon emissions than the global average per
person. And, not surprisingly, a person's carbon footprint increases in size as his or her income increases. So, the less you
spend, the more environmentally friendly you are.
How is it possible that people in the US who live simple lifestyles, e.g., children or the homeless, make such large
contributions to greenhouse gas emissions? The answer is simple: Each US citizen has access to various basic government
services such as firefighting and police departments, road and bridge repair, libraries, jails and prisons, the military, etc. When
these public services are divided equally among the entire US population, it significantly raises the carbon footprint per
person. In fact, according to a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the lowest carbon footprint that
can be calculated for a person living in the US is 8.5 metric tons. And shockingly, this carbon footprint corresponds to a
homeless person who sleeps in public shelters and eats in soup kitchens. While it is admirable to make changes in lifestyle to
reduce a carbon footprint, in reality, it is very difficult to do. The MIT study revealed that a "rebound effect" occurred when

someone made an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint. Take the example of a person who made the deliberate choice to
buy a hybrid car instead of a large SUV to save money on gas costs. Very often that person would use the money he or she
saved to do something else, e.g., take a long airplane trip. In this ease, just one long airplane trip produces more CO 2
emissions than driving the large SUV for a year. This ends up having a negative impact on a person's carbon footprint by
making it bigger!
Can Americans reduce their carbon footprints? According to the study, it is possible, but it would require lifestyle changes
such as giving up long-distance travel and buying fewer smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players that have large energy costs to
produce and deliver.


The most drastic way to lower the average American's US carbon footprint is to add a CO 2 tax on food, housing, and
transportation, and most Americans don't want their taxes raised. Unless we can find a way to reduce our carbon footprints,
the price we may ultimately have to pay is much higher than the amount Americans will ever have to pay in taxes.
[Fron AMERICAN ENGLISH FILE 4, Workbook, 2nd Edition, Oxford 2015]

Question 43: The average American's carbon footprint is......
A. approximately five times more than the global average carbon footprint per person.
B. approximately four times the global average carbon footprint per person.

D. approximately double the global average carbon footprint per person.
Question 44: The "rebound effect"......
A. has a double effect on an individual's carbon footprint.
B. has a positive impact on an individual's carbon footprint.
C. has no impact on an individual's carbon footprint.
D. has a negative impact on an individual’s carbon footprint.
Question 45: A person who lives a simple lifestyle in the US has a high carbon footprint because......
A. he or she has access to public services paid for by the government.
B. he or she can’t pay a tax to offset his or her carbon footprint.
C. he or she lives off the grid
D. the CO2 footprint calculation is not divided equally among all US citizens.

Question 46: The writer's conclusion is that......
A. reducing the US carbon footprint is almost impossible.
B. to reduce the US carbon footprint, taxes should be lowered
C. finding a way to reduce the average US citizen's carbon footprint is more important than anything else to all
Americans.
