Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5.

       The United Nation says there are now 18,000 pieces of plastic in every square kilometre of sea everywhere in the world. A walk along any beach will give you some ideas of the seriousness of plastic pollution.

       The trouble is, when we throw out plastic with the trash, the plastic doesn’t go away. Plastic does not biodegrade. It degrades into smaller and smaller particles which then enter the food chain. Plastics contain cancer-causing chemicals such as vinyl chloride which travel along the food chain in increasing concentrations and end up in our fish and chips, along with hormone disruptors such as bisphenol A. Scientists try to tell us that we are killing ourselves as well as other animals. At least 200 species are being killed by plastic. Whales, dolphins, turtles and albatross confuse floating plastic , especially shopping bags and six- pack rings , with jellyfish.

       8% of all the world’s oil production is for plastic. According to the United Staes Environmental Protection Agency, companies manufacture 5 billion plastic bags a year. Of all the plastic produced annually, half is for packaging which gets thrown out with the trash a few minutes after purchase. And 1% of all rubbish is plastic bags which take from 400 to 1000 years to degrade. Less than one per cent of plastic bags are recycled and only 4% of all other plastic waste, the reason being it is simply too expensive to do.

       It we can’t use plastic bags, how do we carry home the shopping? Take a back pack or a folding shopping trolley. Change supermarket to one that provides biodegradable bags, made from potato starch for example. Use consumer power.

       Think globally, act locally. A small Australian town is now one step ahead of the rest of the world. The inhabitants of Bundanoon in New South Wales have banned plastic bottles from the town. We need to follow their example and eliminate plastic from our lives, take care of the earth and support people we think will do the same.     

Question 1 . According to the second paragraph, toxic chemicals get into our food ______ .

A. from plastic bags from supermarkets

B. when plastic becomes small enough to enter our food chain.

C. because plastic does not biodegrade D. because other animals are being killed by plastic.

Question 2.  What does “it” in the third paragraph refer to ______ ?

A. money            B. recycling        C. plastic waste        D. plastic bags

Question 3.   According to the passage, which of the following is true about plastic______  ?

A. A certain amount of plastic is made from oil.       B. Plastic is the main cause of cancers. 

C. Plastic won’t degrade even if it takes longer time.

D. Plastic that is thrown out with trash will end up in our meals.

Question 4.  Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a solution to plastic waste ______?

A. Bring a backpack for carrying things.                             B. Eliminate all plastic products.

C.  Go shopping at supermarkets having biodegradable bags.  D. Support those who want to ban plastic

Question 5. In the final paragraph, what does the writer advise us to do  ______ ?

A. stop buying plastic bottles.                                                  B. visit Australia.

C. stop thinking and start acting.                                        D. take individual action.
