Bike Capital of the World

Copenhagen has over 390 kilometers of bike lanes and is widely regarded as the bike capital of the world. The Danes are well-known for their love of cycling, and Copenhagen’s network of bike lanes is studied by other cities.

Cyclists in Copenhagen are saving the city 90,000 tons of CO2 emission annually. Every day, about 789,000 miles are cycled in Copenhagen. Thirty-six percent of the city’s residents bike to school or work. The city is looking to increase that number to 50% by building more bike lanes, widening existing lanes, creating biking –only bridges over the city’s waterways, providing more space for parking bikes, and improving safety along existing bike routes.

The city of Copenhagen clearly understands the value of biking-friendly cities. They are healthier, more environmentally-friendly, and allow for better quality of life.

1.  V. Read the text and do the following tasks.

The Island Continent

Australia is the only country that fills an entire continent. It is the smallest continent in the world but the sixth largest country. Australia, called the island continent, is totally surrounded by water — the Indian Ocean on the west and south, the Pacific Ocean on the east, and the Arafura Sea, which is formed by these two oceans coming together, to the north.

The island continent is, in large part, a very dry, flat land. Yet it supports a magnificent and unusual collection of wildlife. Australia is a land of oddities. There are many unusual animals and plants that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Because the island continent was separated from the rest of the world for many years, these animals developed in different ways. Many of the animals in Australia are marsupials. Marsupials are animals such as koalas and wombats whose babies are born underdeveloped and are then carried in a pouch on the mother’s body until they are able to care for themselves.

The kangaroo is perhaps the best known of the marsupials. There are 45 kinds of kangaroos, and they come in a variety of sizes. A baby kangaroo is called a joey. Kangaroos eat grasses and plants. They can cause problems for farmers and ranchers in Australia because they compete with cattle for pastures. Besides the marsupials, the strange animals of the continent include emu and the duckbill platypus.

There are many physical features of Australia that also are unique, including the central part of the country known as “Outback”, which consists of three main deserts — the Great Sandy, the Gibson, and the Great Victoria.Because much of the country is desert, more than half of all Australians live in large, modern cities along the coast. There are also many people living in the small towns on the edge of the Outback, where there is plenty of grass for raising sheep and cattle. Australia rates first in the world for sheep raising. In fact, there are more than 10 times as many sheep in Australia as there are people! A. Match the words with their definitions.

II. Read the passage carefully and then do the tasks. We use many different energy sources to do work for us. Energy sources are classified into two groups - renewable and nonrenewable. Non-renewable energy sources are those that take millions of years to form and will run out some day. It is energy that comes from fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels are mainly made up of carbon and were formed millions of years ago. The chemical reaction which takes place when we burn fossil fuels releases carbon compounds such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide is one of the green house gases which is contributing to global warming and air pollution. On the other hand, renewable energy sources will never run out, are better for the environment and do not cause pollution. Renewable energy is often called green energy because it is a natural energy, always available and does not have to be formed like nonrenewable energy. The green energy is always there. For example, the Sun consistently shines, water is abundant, and the winds blow throughout the year. The five types include solar, energy from the Sun; geothermal, energy from heat within the Earth; hydroelectric, energy from moving water; biomass, energy from dead plants and microorganisms and finally, energy from the wind. A. Decide if the flowing statements are True (T) or False (F) 1. Non -renewable energy is a source of energy that will eventually run out. 2. Renewable energy comes from natural sources, like sunlight, wind, water, and heat of the Earth. 3. Burning fossil fuels is harmful to the environment. 4. Renewable resources are better for the environment, but they are limited in supply. 5. carbon is the main element in fossil fuels. 6. Wind is the primary source of hydroelectricity energy. B. Answer the questions. 1. What are fossil fuels?​ 2. When were fossil fuels formed?​ 3. Do carbon dioxide emissions causes climate change on Earth?​ 4. How many types of renewable energy sources are there? What are they? 5. Are renewable sources bad for the environment?​ 6. Why is renewable energy called green energy
