How Will Climate Change Affect Wildlife?

than others. Polar animals (1) _______ icy natural habitat is melting in the warmer temperatures – are
particularly at risk. In fact, experts believe that the Arctic sea ice is (2) _______ at a shocking rate – 9% per

of swimming. Certain seal species, like ringed seals make caves in the snow and to raise their pups, feed
and mate.

Exercise 2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
THINK BEFORE YOU TOSS
Countries around the world have growing mountains of trash because people are throwing out more trash
than ever before. How did we become a throwaway society?
First of all, it is now easier to replace an item than to spend time and money to repair it. Thanks to modern
manufacturing and technology, companies are able to produce items quickly and inexpensively. Products
are plentiful and prices are low, so we would rather buy something new than repair it. Even if we did want
to repair something, many items are almost impossible to repair. These products contain many tiny,
complicated parts. Some even contain small computer chips. It's easier to throw these items away and buy
new ones than to fix them.
Another contributing factor is our love of disposable products. As busy people, we are always looking for
ways to save time and make our lives easier. Why should we use cloth kitchen towels? It's easier to use
paper towel once and toss it out. Companies manufacture thousands of different kinds of disposable items:
paper plates, plastic cups, cameras, and razors for shaving, to name a few. The problem is that disposable
products also contribute to our trash problem.
Our appetite for new products also contributes to the problem. We are addicted to buying things. As
consumers, we want the latest clothes, the best TVs, and cellphones with west features. Companies tell us
to buy, buy, and buy. Advertisements persuade us wer is better. The result is that we throw away useful
possessions to make room for new ones.
Exercise 3. Read the passage and write True or False next to the sentences.
Ozone is a gas made up of molecules that are formed by three oxygen atoms. Its molecule formula is O3.
Ozone is formed when the sunlight hits oxygen molecules (O2) and breaks them up into individual atoms.
These individual atoms then join up with O2 molecules and make O3, or ozone.
Way up high in the Earth’s atmosphere, called the stratosphere, there is a fairly high concentration of ozone
molecules that are formed when the sun hits oxygen molecules. This part of the atmosphere is called the
ozone layer.
Ozone molecules in the atmosphere provide us with important protection from the rays of the sun.
Specifically, these molecules are good at absorbing certain ultraviolet rays that can cause sunburn and skin
cancer.
It turns out that certain types of molecules can cause a chemical reaction when they come in contact with
ozone molecules. This cause the ozone to break up and become unable to absorb ultraviolet light. The main
molecules that are destroying the ozone layer are called chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs.
1. Ozone is a gas made up of molecules that are formed by oxygen and carbon dioxide. _________
2. Sunlight can break oxygen molecules into individual atoms. _________
3. The Earth’s stratosphere is much higher than the atmosphere. _________
4. There is a fairly high concentration of ozone molecules under the atmosphere where they are formed.
_________
5. Ozone molecules in the atmosphere protect is from the rays of the Sun. _________
6. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause sunburn and skin cancer. _________
7. Certain types of molecules can prevent the ozone from absorbing ultraviolet light. _________
8. CFCs are not the main molecules that are destroying the ozone layer. _________
