A. The environment is everything around us, both natural and made by man. A major problem in the world today is the destruction of the natural environment.
This is a complicated problem. We burn fuel, and this causes air pollution. We throw away lastic bags, containing toys and other objects. These stay in the environment, they are not like paper or wood that slowly disappear. We have made thousands of new chemicals. Factories that make or use chemicals always have chemical wastes. These are often poisonous, and they also stay in the environment.
Since 1945 several countries have been testing nuclear bombs in the air and underground. The explosions in the air cause nuclear fallout. The fallout causes cancer and kills animals and people. Nuclear power plants that make electricity also produce dangerous wastes and have accidents that can be very disastrous.

Name: ……………………… THE FIRST SEMESTER 2015-2016 No2
Read the following passage and then do the exercises below.
The Ancient Mexicans used to respect and fear the sun. They were frightened that the sun might stop rising. As a result, they used to make sacrifices so that the sun god would continue to give them day and night and the four seasons.
Farmers, however, used to worship the rain god almost as much as the sun god. Even today there are ruins of great pyramids they used to build to worship the sun and the rain gods.
Another popular god was the wind god, which took the form of a snake with feathers. This feathered snake was also the god of knowledge for the Ancient Mexicans. Under its influence, civilization spread throughout Mexico, which at that time was mostly a peaceful country with plenty of skilled craftsmen and traders. Unfortunately, news of this civilisation eventually spread, and Mexico was invaded from the far north. Later, other people called Aztecs settled in Mexico. At first they used to live on an island in a lake where Mexico city now is. The people used to grow maize and they built beautiful towns and temples, developing Mexico into one of the most advanced civilisations of the time.
