Trang 19Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods
These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid
The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years The implications for the planet are very serious Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts
These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture

Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyotoin Japanin 1997 There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions
Trang 20are often still being regarded as scaremongering

B be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises C give rise to many ecological disasters
D be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature
Question 46: Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they
A are emitted by car engines B trap heat from the sun
C do not add to atmosphere pollution D are unusual gases
Question 47: According to the passage, 1997 witnessed
Trang 21B the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan
C the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialised countries
D widespread concern about climate change
Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly responsible for global warming are
A countries with the warmest climate B developing countries
C developed countries
D the most industrialized countries
Question 49: The word “There” in paragraph 5 refers to A the world’s industrialized countries
B regular summits on climate change C the most industrialized countries D the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect
B The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases C The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation

Becoming an Art Dealer
It is many people’s dream to become a world-famous artist Unfortunately, it can be extremely difficult to make a living solely from selling your paintings or sculptures But don’t worry because there are other jobs in the world of art that you can pursue One possible career option is to become an art dealer
An art dealer works on behalf of artists to help them sell works to museums and galleries around the world To be successful at this profession, it requires a well-rounded skill set For starters, it helps a lot if you love art and are knowledgeable about art history Having business skills will also be quite useful, as it will be necessary to negotiate with buyers, and help the artists you represent market their work If becoming an art dealer sounds appealing, there are several steps which you can follow Although you may have a love for a wide range of styles, you should start by choosing one category to focus on Buyers usually prefer to deal with a specialist in a particular area than someone who is a jack of all trades When selecting your focus, choose an area that you are passionate about instead of something that seems lucrative Art trends come and go, so there is no use trying to predict what is hot These trends will certainly change over the course of your career
Once you selected an area to focus on, start to contact some museums, galleries, and other companies in the art world and send them your resume The majority of art dealers begin their careers working as interns for these kinds of companies Although these interns may be paid little, or in some cases nothing at all, the experience of learning how art businesses work will certainly serve you down the road
