In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the growth of the
human population. In the last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled. Obviously, this has
meant that the world has needed to produce three times as much food, energy, and other natural resources.
In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the average person one
hundred years ago, meaning that the rates of consumption are actually much higher than just the increase
in population would imply.
All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources, contribute to
climate change in some way. The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned to create energy release
chemicals which add to global warming. In order to produce more food, farmers cut down trees to gain
more land for their fields. In addition, we cut down trees to build the houses needed for a larger
population. Those trees are an essential part of controlling global warming.
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher standard
of living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even more natural resources.
For example, China is the world’s most populous nation, with 1.3 billion people. Currently, the standard
of living for most of those people is far below that of people in first world nations. Therefore, the average
Chinese citizen uses far fewer natural resources and less energy than the average citizen of the US or

Japan. If every Chinese person attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources
needed in the world will double, even if the standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains the
same as it is today.
Question 27: The word “pace” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.
A. speed
B. growth
C. problem
D. pollution
Question 28: The word “consumption” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.

Question 29: According to the passage, how does food production contribute to global warming?

D. Food production decreases the ability of the air to release heat.
Question 30: According to the passage, how does the standard of living affect global warming?
A. Higher standards of living are better for the environment.
B. High standards of living lead to increases in world population.
C. First world nations create less population than developing nations.
D. The use of natural resources is directly related to the standard of living.
Question 31: Why does the author discuss China, Japan and the United States?

The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their
journey of life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be
traced back from the Vedic times. Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is
called "mangni". The couple is blessed here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the
"mehendi" which is a paste made from the leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the
hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and the name of the groom is also hidden in the design. On
the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a pledge
to respect one another as partners which is known as "jaimala". This is followed by "kanyadaan", where
the father of the bride places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal
partner. Another ritual is the "havan" in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their
commitment to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial
fire. The "gath bandhan" takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing
their eternal bond. This signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple
then takes four "mangal pheras" or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life:
"Dharma", religious and moral duties; "Artha", prosperity; "Kama" earthly pleasures; "Moksha", spiritual
salvation. The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the "saptapardi". Then
the ritual of "sindoor" takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the
bride's forehead and welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the marriage.
The parents of the bride and the groom then give their blessings, "ashirwad" to the newlywed couple as
they touch the feet of their parents.
