Text 2: Questions No. 8 - 14

Conservation of natural resources involves the intelligent use and care of our resource. Why
do we need to conserve our resources?

A few thousand years ago, there were not many people living on the Earth. There were more
than enough natural resources for everyone. But in the last 200 years, the world population
has increased rapidly. As the world population increases, more natural resources are needed
to support the population. The demand for natural resources will become even greater as
countries all over the world become more developed.

We have also invented many machines to help people do work and to make life more
comfortable. A lot of fuel is being used to provide energy to run all these machines.
We are using huge amounts of our natural resources so rapidly that the natural resources are
in danger of being depleted. Our Earth has limited supplies of non-renewable resources. They
are running out quickly.

Even our renewable resources are in danger. The trees in forests are being destroyed too fast.
There is just not enough time for new trees to grow to replace the ones that are removed. As
more land is needed for development of towns or farms, more forests will be cleared.

A wide variety of wildlife lives in forests. When forests are destroyed, the wildlife in them is
in danger of extinction. Some wild animals are also becoming extinct because so many of
them have been hunted and killed for profit.

Therefore, we need to conserve our natural resources to make them last as long as possible.

Text 3: Questions No. 15 – 20 The Disappearing Honeybee

Do you run away when you hear a bee buzzing? Many people do. A bee sting hurts and some
people are allergic to bee venom. But did you know that bees are very important to humans?
Honeybees do more than just make honey. They fly around and pollinate flowers, plants, and
trees. Our fruits, nuts, and vegetables rely on these pollinators. One third of America's food
supply is pollinated by the honeybee.

Have you seen or heard a honeybee lately? Bees are mysteriously disappearing in many parts
of the world. Most people don't know about this problem. It is called Colony Collapse
Disorder (CCD). Some North American beekeepers lost 80% of their hives from 2006-2008.
Bees in Italy and Australia are disappearing too.

The disappearance of the honeybee is a serious problem. Can you imagine never eating
another blueberry? What about almonds and cherries? Without honeybees food prices will
skyrocket. The poorest people always suffer the worst when there is a lack of food.

This problem affects other foods besides fresh produce. Imagine losing your favorite ice
cream! Haagen Daaz is a famous ice cream company. Many of their flavors rely on the hard
working honey bee. In 2008 Haagen Daaz began raising money for CCD. They also created a
website called helpthehoneybee.com.

Donating money to research is the most important thing humans can do to save the
honeybees. Scientists need money to investigate the causes of Colony Collapse Disorder.
Some scientists blame CCD on climate change. Others think pesticides are killing the bees.
Commercial bee migration may also cause CCD. Beekeepers transport their hives from place
to place in order to pollinate plants year round.
