C)They refused to negotiate D) They agreed to put the negotiation on track Passage Nine The United states government has published a report about what the earth may be like, 20 years from now. government scientists, economists and technical experts studied present problems. They presented picture of the kind world these problems will bring if they are not solved The picture of earth after the year 2000 is not a pleasant one. The world will be more crowded because the population continues to grow. The population could be as many 6350 million people. Most of the people would live in cities, especially cities in developing countries The experts say food production will increase, but not enough to feed all these people They said most of the increase would be in countries that already produce enough food for their populations they said little increase in food production could be expected in South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Damage to the environment could be very severe, Air pollution will get worse as industrial countries burn more coal and oil. Energy will continue to be a problem The report says economic differences will increase between developed and developing nations. It warns that much of the world's population will be even poorer than The experts said their picture of the earth in 20 years may be wrong. They said they only carried forward the situations or trends that exist today. By changing the situation, by solving the problems, the picture can be changed. They said there still is time for the nations of the world to work together on a plan of action. But they warned that waiting too long to make decisions will greatly miss the chances of success 1.

Passage Nine The United states government has published a report about what the earth may be like, 20 years from now. government scientists , economists and technical experts studied present problems. They presented picture of the kind world these problems will bring if they are not solved. The picture of earth after the year 2000 is not a pleasant one. The world will be more crowded because the population continues to grow. The population could be as many as 6350 million people. Most of the people would live in cities, especially cities in developing countries. The experts say food production will increase, but not enough to feed all these people.

Damage to the environment could be very severe, Air pollution will get worse as industrial countries burn more coal and oil. Energy will continue to be a problem. The report says economic differences will increase between developed and developing nations. It warns that much of the world’s population will be even poorer than today. The experts said their picture of the earth in 20 years may be wrong. They said they only carried forward the situations or trends that exist today. By changing the situation, by solving the problems, the picture can be changed. They said there still is time for the nations of the world to work together on a plan of action. But they warned that waiting too long to make decisions will greatly miss the chances of success. 1. What is the report about? A) It’s about the future of the earth.

In industrial countries, air pollution A)will be controlled B)will get worse C)will get better D)will get less What is told in the report by the scientists A)is absolutely righ B)is hardly wrong C)will surely come true D)is not necessarily true Passage Ten Too much noise may be dangerous to your health. A number of studies have showr that living or working where there is a great deal of noise can cause hearing loss. But there also is a growing amount of scientific evidence shown that continued loud noise may cause other medical problems. These include high blood pressure, nervous disorders learning problems, difficulty in sleeping and, possibly, even birth defects and some kind of heart disease One test showed the dangers facing people who spend a lot of time listening to loud music. A New York City doctor studied 70 young persons who work in popular dancing and drinking places where music is played loudly. She found that more than 30 percent of them had suffered severe and permanent hearing loss. Normally, she said, less than one percent of people at that age suffer such loss The doctor, Jane Madell, also studied a group of 40 New York City firemen. All had worked near loud warning sirens on fire trucks for ten years or more. Doctor Madell found that 75% percent of them had suffered a severe hearing loss Doctor said some persons are more likely than others to suffer hearing loss from continued loud noise. But they said they can not learn which persons face the most danger until permanent hearing damage has been done

Another scientist discovered that loud noise appears to limit a child,'s ability to learn The scientist Arlene Btrnzapt studied students at a New York City school near a busy railroad.
