III. Read the following passage and then choose the best answer.
One of the most urgent environment problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean
drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of
water undrinkable. Lakes and even entire seas have become large pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of
largest lake in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not
exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial pollutants
which pour into the lake everyday. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce
them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water
surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost sixteen countries regularly throw
industrial wastes a few miles off shore. Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply
of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage.
Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something
now.

Read the passage and choose the best answer to the question from 1 to 4
"Is winning everything?" Ask kids and the answer is probably "No". Ask the adults and the answer is probably "Yes".
And it is adults who control sports for young people - with terrible results for many kids. Twenty millions of children
between the ages of eight and sixteen play organized sports outside of school. Their experiences are sometimes very
bad. Why? Because of the adults, often their parents, who watch the games. Children's sports are organized like
professional sports. Children play baseball and football. They wear all the equipment that professional athletes wear.
They have uniforms and umpires and referees and leagues. They have games. And many people come to watch their
games, especially the families of the players. Because the children's games are like adults, professional games, their
parents want adult professional competition. When a child drops a ball, his father becomes angry. When a child
doesn't run fast, his mother might shout, "Run faster! Run faster!" And the child? With an angry father and a shouting
mother, this is not a happy time. Unhappy and nervous, the child wants to stop playing. The game is not fun now. But
he or she can't stop, because the competition is not finished.
