There is no doubt that the environment is in trouble. Factories burn fos (46) fuels which produce acid rain, and this kills trees. At the same time, greenhouse gases rise into the air and con (47) to global warming, which threatens to melt the polar ice cap. Meanwhile, far (48) clear huge areas of rain forest in places such as the Amazon to produce feeding land for cattle or produce wood for building. Rivers and oc (49) are so heavily contaminated by industrial waste. Cars pump out poisonous gases which we all have to breathe in. Poaching and overfishing are killing off millions of animals, including whales, elephants and other endangered species. In fact, our finely balanced ecosystem is being (50) (system) destroyed by human greed and thoughtlessness. There is a lot we can all do, however, to help prevent this. The easiest thing, of course, is to (51) waste material such as paper and glass so that we can use it again. We should also check that the things we buy from supermarkets are packaged in biodegradable packaging which (52) (compose) easily. At the same time, we should make a conscious effort to avoid foods which are (53) (gene) modified (at least until someone proves that they are safe both for us and for the environment). Finally, of course, a small car and unleaded petrol should be used, which are less harmful to the environment or, even better, make more use of p (54) transport. We cannot all be as committed as environmentalists, but we can at least do our own little bit at grass roots level. We, as humans, have (55) (inhabitant) the earth, but that doesn’t mean we can do whatever we like with it.
Flu and How Not to Catch It This winter, in offices and workplaces throughout the country, people are at risk of becoming a health danger to their colleagues. These are the people who, carrying flu viruses, have dragged themselves in to work in sp (1) of the high temperature, headache, sore throat and cough they are su (2) from. Most experts agree that people with flu ought to stay at home, certainly in the case of those (3) jobs involve public safety-airline pilots, air traffic (4) (control) and train drivers. A diet rich in ve (5) and fruit and regular exercise may help people avoid the illness. Experts are (6) (doubt)whether taking lots of vitamin C will (7) any difference, but reducing stress levels may help. Basic hygiene is certainly important, as well, especially in the office. We know that the illness can be passed on f (8) cups and saucers, so do more than simply rinse them under the tap with all the others. Wash them properly with hot water and use disinfectants to clean surfaces. Remember to wash your hands reg (9) and don’t touch your face, as flu enters the body through the eyes, nose and mouth. Other tips on prevention include (10) rid of cloth handkerchiefs, which provide a home for germs. Change to paper tissues and throw them away afterwards.
The ABC of Cooking It’s a marvellous idea for children to do some cooking at an early age. Generally (1) (SPEAK), most children can’t wait to help in the kitchen and love getting involved in the (2) (PREPARE) of their meals. They should be (3) (ENCOURAGE) to do so, and care should be taken to (4) (SURE)they enjoy the experience. It is important to show them how to do things (5) (CORRECT) but they shouldn’t be criticized too much. Although the finished result may not be quite to your (6) (LIKE), the young cook will undoubtedly find it quite the (7) (TASTY) food he or she has ever eaten. Kitchens can, of course, be (8) (DANGER) places and so the absolute (9) (IMPORTANT)of keeping an eye on children at all times cannot be emphasized too (10) (HEAVY). Sharp knives, for example, should be avoided until children are old enough to handle them safely.
