One of the factors in global warming is carbon monoxide The more carbon monoxide in the atmosphere, the less the atmosphere is able to clean itself The result is a warming of the atmosphere, the so-called global warming, and

possibly ozone damage

Earlier, it was found that carbon monoxide was concentrated in the Southern Hemisphere, and could be attributed

to deforestation Huge areas of forest and grasslands in South America and Africa have been burned, putting carbon monoxide into the atmosphere Recently, however, the Southern Hemisphere has been found to be clean, while the

Northern Hemisphere is more polluted than expected

The latest research was done during the northern winter The high levels in the Northern Hemisphere could be because of this In winter carbon monoxide is destroyed more slowly There are also more fires burned in winter, and possibly industrial processes work harder It could also reflect the ever-increasing number of cars on the roads Optimists hope that the reason why the North has overtaken the South as the major area of carbon monoxide is that at last the

burning has stopped, or at least slowed down

1 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

2 Which of the following is NOT a reason for carbon dioxide?

3 According to the author which of the following is a reason why in winter there is more carbon-monoxide in the

atmosphere?

A Fewer factories are working

B There is a decrease in the amount of traffic on the roads

C Central heating means there are fewer fires nowadays

D Carbon monoxide is not absorbed so fast

4 Why are the optimists happy?

A People are buying more cars

B There is more carbon dioxide in the North

C They are possibly burning fewer forests in the Southern Hemisphere

D Industry must be doing better

5 What is the attitude of the author towards the new findings?

Do you think education is better now than it was in your grandparents' time? Many older people in the UK believe the opposite ―Schools were better in our day,‖ they complain ―There isn't enough discipline these days Kids don't work as hard as we did, either The syllabus isn't as challenging, so clever students aren't being stretched enough They need to study things in greater depth Exams are much, much easier now as well.‖

Were schools better years ago? Some British teenagers travelled back in time to a 1950s boarding school They got a big surprise! The first shock came when the teenagers met their new teachers Dressed in traditional black

10

gowns, they look so frosty and uncaring! They were really authoritarian, too, so anyone caught breaking the

rules - talking in classes, mucking about in the playground or playing truant – was in big trouble! Punishments included writing 'lines' or staying after class to do detention The naughtiest kids were expelled

Things were just as bad after class At meal times the students had to endure a diet of plain, no-nonsense, healthy

food Homework was obligatory and it took ages! Copying essays off the Internet wasn't an option, as personal

computers didn't exist in the 1950s!

At the end of 'term' everyone sat 1950s-style exams The old exams were much longer than their twenty-first century equivalents and involved learning huge amounts of facts by heart History papers were all dates and battles Maths papers were trickier, too; calculators weren't around in the 1950s, so the students had to memorise multiplication tables and master long division Our candidates found this really difficult

The exam results surprised a lot of people Students predicted to do well in their real-life, twenty-first century exams often got low grades in the 1950s exams Does this prove modern exams are too easy? Do twenty-first century kids rely too much on modern technology, like calculators and computers?

The TV series of That 'll teach 'em! focused on a 1960s vocational school UK school-kids study a range of

academic subjects these days But in the 1960s, children judged to be less ‗able' went to vocational schools These

helped them learn job skills Boys studied subjects like metalwork, woodwork or gardening In some classes, they even learned how to milk goats! The girls' timetables included secretarial skills They also learned to cook, clean and sew - probably not much fun for most girls

1 What criticism is sometimes made about modern education in the first paragraph?

A Teachers aren't strict enough

B The syllabus is out of date

C There's too much stress on exams

D The teaching methods are not good enough

2 The word "authoritarian‖ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

3 Which of the following statements is TRUE about the food the students ate at school?

4 The word "obligatory‖ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to

5 According to the passage, how did exams in the 1950s differ from those in the twenty-first century?

6 What was surprising about the students' results after taking the 1950s-style exams?

A All the students found the exams difficult

B Students didn't do as well as expected

C Students who were predicted to fail did rather well

D Students did better than twenty-first century exams

7 The word ―these‖ in the last paragraph refers to

8 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
