Reading comprehension: Passage 1 Our growing need for food, goods and energy has had many harmful effects on the environment. Gases produced by cars, power stations and factories cause acid rain, which kills trees and damages buildings. By using more environmentally – friendly forms of transport, we help reduce this form of pollution. A layer of carbon dioxide and other gases traps heat and keeps the earth at the right temperature. This is called the greenhouse effect. By burning fossil fuels we are producing too much carbon dioxide, which is causing temperatures to rise gradually. This global warming could lead to dramatic changes in climate. A layer of a gas called zone protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Certain chemicals used in industry, such as CFCs, have caused a hole to develop in the ozone layer. The increased levels of ultraviolet radiation damage plants and sea life, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Most of the energy we use to heat and light buildings, run machines, etc. is made by burning fossil fuels. This will eventually run out, so we need to use more alternative sources of energy, such as wind and solar power that are renewable and do not pollute the air. We should also avoid wasting energy by using less electricity and water and insulating our houses. We are destroying our forests, which produce oxygen and provide habitats for animals and birds. Deforestation also allows rain to wash away the soil, making the land useless for growing things. We pollute water by dumping waste from factories and houses, and by accidentally spilling chemicals and oil. Chemical fertilizers damage rivers and lakes by causing a layer of tiny plants, called algae, to cover the surface of the water. Organic farming does not harm the water supply.

Passage 2: In his book “The Making of the President”, 1960, Theodore White made some insightful observations about the television debates between Kennedy and Nixon .He contended that the debates had to be analyzed within the context of the explosion in the field of the communications. During the previous debate, Americans had purchased television sets at a phenomenal rate. By the evening of the debate, 88 percent of all American families owned a television set, and a very large percentage turned into the debate. The format was really less like a debate than like a press conference. Each candidate was allowe
