Six major concepts try to steer our way of life so as to unite the present with the past and future and make us collaborate with
one another.
Solidarity is in fact the key to start this new way of life. Past generations and generations to come need to respect each other
and the planet, and care for the community of life. One should never benefit from something now, which will eventually have a
downbeat effect on future generations. A practical example is that of genetic engineering. This technology opens up a new
dimension for the world. It makes alternation of DNA possible. The immediate effects are very positive as they, for example, can
make a plant breed more seeds and furthermore no pests will feed on them. Yet the downhill to all this will only be seen in the
future. Once the structure of DNA is altered it would be impossible to change. Another negative impact that the future beings will
face is the fracture of the feeding cycle. Therefore, it is essential for all to protect one another, as all generations are interrelated,
which means that whatever happens today speaks about the relationship of the present with past and future generations.
32. The paragraph suggests that…
a. one’s failure can never be recovered. c. one has nothing to do with the past.
b. whatever decision and action one does has effect on the future. d. future is something uncertain.
33. Genetic engineering has…
a. a promising innovation for mankind c. favorable effect only
b. negative result only d. favorable and unfavorable effect
34. Fracture of the feeding cycle means that…
a. there is hunger and poverty among all entities. c. feeding of beings can be alternately done.
b. other beings have the possibility to be extinct due to loss of food. d. feeding cycle is dangerous for humans.
35. The paragraph emphasized the necessity to…
a. interact or socialize to build relationship. c. protect one another in order to survive.
b. conserve energy and natural resources. d. keep food and friendship for survival.

Man developed throughout the centuries and has always tried to facilitate life in the best possible way. Technology was always looked
through from a positive point of view but nowadays we are forced to think otherwise. Things that we should use are being abused.
Inappropriate way of life has led to extensive environmental damage. This crisis produced hot issues such as global warming, ozone depletion,
ocean pollution and the destruction of forests. The impairment that is being done is not only giving dreadful effects now, but it will increase in
the future. These major problems imply that policies were not having their desired effect and therefore, a new set of policies which sustain
human progress and the entire planet in a sustainable way, were needed.
