V. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 25 to 32. (2 pts)
Global warming is a serious problem that affects everyone on our planet. It happens because people burn fossil fuels such as coal and oil. When these fuels are burned, they create greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the atmosphere. As a result, the temperature of the Earth is rising. If this continues, many animals and plants may die out, and some natural resources may run out sooner than we expect.
Another problem is pollution from factories, cars, and plastic waste. Some companies may even need to close down if they use up too many resources or damage the environment too badly. In order to combat climate change, countries need to work together and make better choices. One important step is to use energy from renewable sources like wind, solar, and water power. They do not cause as much pollution, and help to reduce carbon emissions.
However, governments are not the only ones who can make a difference. Ordinary people can also help by making small changes in their daily lives. You can alter your behavior by choosing to walk or cycle instead of driving. You can also recycle paper, plastic, and glass instead of throwing them away. When many people take small actions, the result can be very powerful.
If we work together and change our habits, we can protect the planet, help animals and plants survive, and build a healthier future for the next generation.
