The following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 34 to 40.
Releasing balloons is more than just a litter problem. Released balloons can harm animals, humans,
and even our environment by leading to accidents, injury, and even power outages.
Mylar balloons, the shiny metallic, silver-like balloons, cause thousands of power outages each year when
they float away and come into contact with power lines.
Even balloons marked as “biodegradable” are harmful, as they can cause damage before they
decompose. Because of this, there is no such thing as a “harmless” balloon release.
Balloons are also a waste of a precious finite resource — helium. Currently, we are facing a helium
shortage in the U.S. While you may mostly associate the gaseous chemical with bouncy decorations,
helium is actually used in a variety of essential medical procedures, including MRIs. Doctors around the
world are concerned about this helium shortage, and using helium for balloons is only making the
shortage worse.
A report from NBC News points out that “liquid helium is liquid gold to a host of industries.”
According to Bill Halperin, a professor of physics at Northwestern University, “helium is a nonrenewable
resource. NASA and SpaceX need helium for liquid fuel rockets. The MRI industry needs helium. The
pharmaceutical industry is reliant on helium. And so is the Department of Defense.”
One popular alternative to balloon releases is “sky lanterns,” sometimes referred to as Chinese
lanterns. During festivals in countries such as China, Brazil, and India, it is common to look up and see
hundreds of glowing paper lanterns floating up into the night sky. Those are like tiny hot air balloons that
use a candle or fuel cell to heat the air inside the lantern, causing it to rise and float away. However, these
lanterns create similar litter problems and are also a fire hazard. In fact, they are illegal in some U.S.
states.

A. Sky lanterns are as harmful as Helium balloons.
B. Liquid helium is liquid gold to a host of industries
C. Balloon release harms the environment and wastes helium.
D. Helium is one of the most precious substances in the world.
Question 35. According to the passage, releasing balloons is more than just a litter problem because
_____.
A. it can harm animals, humans, and even our environment
B. it has accidents, injury, and even power outages
C. it causes thousands of power outages each year
D. it floats away and comes into contact with power lines

A. break into B. break through C. break down D. break out

Question 38. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?
A. There are no balloons that are harmless. B. There is not enough Helium to use in America.
C. We cannot reproduce Helium. D. It is legitimate to release lanterns in the USA.
Question 39. The word "Those" in the final paragraph refers to _________.

A. sky lanterns are used the same as Helium balloons.
