Read the foolowing passage: A greenhouse is a building whose sides and roof are made of glass so that the temperature inside is magnified. And it's used to grow plants that need high temperatures. This is illustrate an example of how man could be causing changes to the climate. These changes result from increasing the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, thus raising the surface temperature of the Earth. And this is known as the "Greenhouse Effect". CO 2 is a normal component of the atmosphere and until recently has not been considered since 1860, with particularly sharp increase in 1958. The main reason for this continuos increase in CO 2 build-up is the burning of fossil fuels. During the past 100 years, the CO 2 content of the atmosphere has already risen by about 15%- from about 290 to about 340 parts per million. And it's still rising. Although the CO 2 content of the atmosphere is only about 0.032%, it's a major factor in determining average global temperature. Incoming sunlight consists of many wavelengths including some very dangerous ones. But ozone in the upper atmosphere and water vapor and CO 2 in the lower atmosphere filter out or destroy most of the harmful wavelength, so what reaches the Earth is mostly visible light. It's absorbed by alnd, sea and cloud and is reradiated in the atmosphere as longer wavelenth infrared radiation, or heat, as the Earth cools. Much of this infrared radition is absorbed by CO 2 . The CO 2 then radiates a portion of the absorbed heat energy back to the Earth to warm the atmosphere. Rather like the glass in a greenhouse or a car window on sunny day, CO 2 in the atmosphere acts as a one-way filter that allows visible light to enter the Earth's atmosphere, but prevents longer wavelenth heat radition from leaving. Assuming that energy is arriving from the sun at a constant rate, then as the level of CO 2 increase, the average surface temperature of the earth should rise. 36.

The level of CO 2 has raisen by as much as 15%. b. The sun emits some very dangerous wavelengths. c. A portion of sunlight is filtered out before entering the Earth. d. CO 2 allows sunlight to enter and leave the Earth's atmosphere. 40. What is the best title for the passage? a. The "Greenhouse Effect" and how CO 2 warms the atmosphere. b. The level of CO 2 at present compared with that in the past. c. Ozone and water vapor with filtering out harmful wavelengths. d.The "Greenhouse Effect" used for growing plants. IV.
