 The best way to keep fit and lose weight is by exercising and doing lots of it. For example, swimming is a very good way to lose calories because it works up all your muscles. Don’t worry if you are not good at swimming because there are lots of other ways that you can exercise and keep fit in. A very good way to do this is using an exercise machine such as an exercise bike. If you don’t have one you can go out for a little jog. That really helps you. The experts recommend that you do about one or two hours of exercise a day. Having a nice little run is a simple but effective way to exercise and it works for lots of people. For people who find it difficult to do physical exercise, they can always go on a low fat diet. This stops the build up of fat in your body. If you are suffering from obesity, my best advice is that you should do at least an hour to do exercise each day and preferably go on a diet until you feel that you have lost one stone or two.

XV. Read the passage and answer the question.

A carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) released into the air by your own energy needs. You need transportation, electricity, food, clothing, and other goods. CO₂ is produced by the burning of fossil fuels which is used to provide energy for your homes, by the cars you travel in and by the manufacture and transport of goods you buy.

Carbon dioxide is also called greenhouse gas, which causes global warming. That is the reason why the carbon footprint is a very poweful tool to understand the impact of personal behaviours on global warming. If you want to contribute to stop global warming, the reduction of your personal carbon footprint is essential. Fist, you can reduce your carbon footprint by driving less. When possible, walk or ride a bike to avoid carbon emissions completely or use public transport in order to decrease CO emissions. Second, support using clean energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal energy and biogas. Finally, reusing or recycling items you no longer use is also a good way to reduce your carbon footprint.

1. What is a carbon footprint?

..............................................................................

2. How is CO₂ produced?

Ex3: Read the paragraph an answer the questions

Living in Madrid is quite different with living in London. People get up later, and start work later. They often start work at ten, and have lunch at 2 pm. Everything closes for about three hours after lunch and people don’t go back to work at 5p.m. They finish work at about 7p.m or 8 p.m. Then they go out. The citizens in Spain go to bed very late: at about 1 or 2 in the morning. The population in Madrid spend more time in the streets. Most of them live in the center, in small flats, not like London, where people live in houses in the suburbs. The public transport system is very good and very cheap, but most of the residents like to have their own cars.

A. Answer the questions.

1. What time do people in Madrid start work?

2. How long do the shops close in the middle of the day?

3. Where do the people in Madrid live?

4. Is public transport good enough?

B. True or False

1. Living in London is the same as living in Madrid

2. The public transport system is very good and very cheap.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

     Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car.

     In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars.

     In the US, large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars.

     Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long-distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.

     In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.

     The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.

The word “they” in the last sentence of the passage can best be replaced by__________.

A. the government

B. major cities

C. Americans

D. neighbours
