Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend
also. They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and
fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our
likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar
with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same
roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family,
everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both
spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the
other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other
hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements
and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous
actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this artist
was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when
you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings
because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never
even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same
situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books.
She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is
for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives
in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except
you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her,
ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to
her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's
culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great
impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like. Patience and time will
help you to fight cultural differences.

Many believe only animals are endangered. They think wild plants can just grow back after
damage. This is not true. Our plants are declining at an alarming rate. Among them are some of
the most beautiful and useful species on Earth. The importance of plants to life on Earth is
immeasurable. The landscape and wildlife we enjoy, the food we eat, even the very air we
breathe is connected to plant life.

extinct, up to 30 other species of plants, insects and other animals may also decline. Plants
provide the food arid habitat for wildlife.
Plants support a healthy environment. They provide clean air, help hold soil in place, clean
water, moderate wind and water impacts, and shade the earth.
Plants support people. Plants give many gifts to man. They provide food, fiber, and fuels,
Many plants are known to contain chemicals that can be used to treat human illnesses. Others
have the ability to fight agricultural pests and improve existing crops.

are eroding our natural plant communities. Some species have declined to such small numbers
that a bad storm or a plant collector could wipe them out in minutes. Without intervention they

VI. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.
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.
