Left-handers are the odd ones out. Sure, lefties (1) up about 10 percent of the

research points to a complex (3) between genes and environment. While no exact
set of “leftie genes" have been discovered, people who dominantly use their left hands do have
more left- handed family members. And researchers have found different brain wirings in
righties vs. lefties. But no matter (4) it is that drives someone to use their antipodal paw,

 If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you. You can go swimming all year round in the
warm water. You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you like boats, you can go
sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially
popular in Hawaii. surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.
Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”,
which means “to slide on a wave”. If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good
swimmer. You also have to have an excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the beach
with your surfboard under your arm. When you get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for
a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board. The wave will begin to rise under you. You
must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave. The important thing is to
keep your balance and not fall down. If you can manage this, you will have an exciting ride all the
way in to the shore.
Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface
of the ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm. They contain
hundreds of kinds of colorful fish. The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral
reefs of red, gold, white and light purple. Among these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles.
Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. “Scuba” means “Self-
contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming
around far under water. In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive. After
the courses, you can get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone. Since it can be dangerous,
proper instruction and great care are always necessary when you are scuba diving.
If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Less equipment is
needed, just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few
minutes to learn how to snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with
your face below the surface. Breathing through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself
moving with your flippers. Even from the surface like this, there will be plenty of color and beauty
to see.

 In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and
Europe, recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways
to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a second time. The
motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".
The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs,
boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of
packaging. usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should
try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce
waste is to buy high-quality products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw
them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a
customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an
important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that
customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway
must stop.
The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect
the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is
saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those
places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.
The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle
aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
Question 43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to reduce garbage disposal.
B. What people often understand about the term 'recycle’.
C. What is involved in the recycling movement.
D. How to live sensitively to the environment.
Question 44. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT
A. buy high-quality product. B. buy simply-wrapped things.
C. reuse cups. D. buy fewer hamburgers.
Question 45. Why is it a waste when customers buy low-quality products?
A. Because people will soon throw them away.
B. Because they have to be repaired many times.
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time.
D. Because they produce less energy.
Question 46. What best describes the process of reuse?
A. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again.
B. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed.
C. The bottles are washed, retuned, filled again and collected.
D. The bottles are collected, returned filled again and washed.
Question 47. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling?
A. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings. B. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil.
C. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil. D. TV sets and aluminum cans.
