II. READING
Ex 1. Read the following passage. Fill each gap in the notes with no more than three
words. (1p)
The effects of overpopulation are quite severe. Most of the environmental damage
being seen in the last fifty years is because of the growing number of people on the planet.
The first of these is the running out of resources. The Earth can only produce a limited
amount of water and food, which is falling short of the current needs. Natural energy
resources (coal, oil, gases) will also be used up if we don’t find alternative resources soon.
The rise in the number of vehicles and industries has badly affected the quality of
air. The rise in the amount of CO 2 emissions leads to global warming, which is the culprit of
the melting polar ice caps, changing climate patterns, and the rise in the sea level. Those
are just a few of the consequences that we might have to face in the years to come.
- Overpopulation leads to: (1) ______________.

In Western countries, electricity, gas, and water are not luxuries but necessities.
Companies now realize that consumers want products that will not only work effectively, but
also save money.
For most North American households, lighting accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of the
electricity bill. However, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100-watt light
bulb with an energy-saving bulb. These bulbs use a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs
and last eight times longer. Therefore, consumers can save about US$7 to US$21 per bulb. In
Europe, there is a labeling scheme for refrigerators, freezers, washing machines and tumble
dryers. The label tells the consumers how much energy efficiency each model has, compared
with other appliances in the same category. Ultimately, these innovations will save money as
well as conserve the Earth's resources.
