a loss of more resources and more energy For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop The second step is to reuse It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources Question 24: What is the main topic of the passage?

what was once a grey cement wall can become a colourful, blooming garden The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid, Spain, is a famous example - one of its walls is covered with 15,000 plants from over 250 different species In other cities, green walls are being used more functionally, to cover up construction sites and empty buildings and to prominently decorate the lobbies of office buildings Using plants to cover walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer Buildings and roads absorb the sun’s heat and hold it, causing a building or neighbourhood to stay warmer longer Plants, on the other hand, provide an enormous amount of shade There is evidence that growing a roof or wall garden can lower a building’s energy costs Many cities offer tax discounts to businesses with these features In New York City, public schools plant rooftop gardens that can reduce heating and cooling costs In addition to saving the school money, teachers and parents love the gardens because of their educational value - it’s a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world around them “For the children, it’s exciting when you grow something edible,” said Lauren Fontana, principal of a New York public school These green spaces are also used to grow food In recent years, rooftop gardens have slowly been included in the “local food movement” This is based on the concept that locally grown food reduces pollution since it does not have to be transported far Vegetables are being grown in rooftop gardens by schools, churches, neighbourhoods and even restaurants Chef Rick Bayless serves “Rooftop Salsa” at his restaurant in Chicago, USA, using only ingredients grown in his rooftop garden Rooftop gardens and green walls may require a bit more effort to grow and maintain However, hard work always brings rewards, and with green spaces, the rewards are plentiful Question 44: What is this passage mainly about? A gardens in Madrid, New York, and Chicago B people growing plants on roofs and walls C private gardens in the city’s unused spaces D how to grow your own food in the city Question 45: According to the passage, people as cities have little space for gardens A grow plants in their apartments B go to the countryside at the weekends C paint their walls and roofs green D grow trees and flowers on top of roofs Page 4|5 Question 46: Why is the green wall in Madrid mentioned in the passage?
