THE FIRST TERM ENGLISH EXAM
Part One. Reading
A/ Comprehension / Read the text carefully and answer the questions
Can You Save the World?
Every day we are bombarded with advice on how to change our lifestyles to protect the environment. But how much can the average family do? And is it worth the effort and cost?
Barry and Helen Davies live with their children in a five-bedroom house. Like many families, they are concerned about the damage they do to the environment, and they would like to do more to become green consumers if they could be convinced it was worth it. The fact they have children has made them think even harder about what sort of world they will leave for the next generation. The Davies have a modern, well-insulated house. But the energy that they use in their home and in the goods and services produced for them is still polluting the atmosphere with about 47 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. When they buy food and other goods, the Davies try to avoid taking some unnecessary packaging and try to use plastic bags more than once. They also send their bottles to be recycled in the bottle bank. But they are still contributing about 2.5 tonnes of methane to atmospheric pollution because of the waste they produce.
They are using up to 12 disposable nappies a day. The nappies contain no bleach and are labeled “environment-friendly”, but they contribute to a mounting rubbish pile. Helen would not change to old-fashioned terry nappies even though she knows that she is spending more and damaging the environment more by using the disposables. “It’s a question of convenience,” she said.
Market analysts now believe that convenience is the next battleground for the environmental movement after the initial marketing success of “environment-friendly” products. Families like the Davies can do a great deal to protect the environment and probably save money in the process. But they, like the rest of us, must ask themselves whether they are prepared to lead a more Spartan life.
