The problem of the use of our natural resources may be divided into four parts. These deal with trees, soil, water and minerals. In a sense, the first three are closely related, for water is a great destroyer of soil, and trees are its great protectors. Trees need both soil and water to grow. And water, to be of any real use, needs to be kept by soil and trees. Minerals are apart. They exist where they are because of the changing physical nature of the earth. Man has no control over the creation of the minerals, and once a particular supply has been used up, it is gone forever. Conservation programmes have been instituted by most governments to prevent these four essentials from reckless waste and to start the long process of repairing earlier damage to forests, soil and water supply. 46.

Read the passage carefully and then choose the best answers: Women in Britain are better off today than they used to be. At the beginning of the 19 th century, women seem to have almost no rights at all. They could not vote, or even sign a contract. Their marriages were arranged by their parents. They were once kept at home and if they were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women were happy with that situation. Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own husbands. In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value. Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status between men and women. Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more difficult for a woman to get promotion than a man does. There is sex distinction in England although it has not been as serious as it was. More and more women go out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live independently. However , there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is men's attitude. They always think that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex. We do not know exactly how long it will take them to change their mind. And the other problem which is much more difficult is women's attitude. They should be ready to struggle to change their fate. 41. At the beginning of the 19 th century ,___________. A. British women were better off than today. C. Women seemed to have almost no rights at all. B. British women had the right to vote. D. British women had the right to choose their husbands. 42. The Equal Pay Act was passed in ___________. A. 1960 B. 1962 C. 1970 D. 1971 43. Which of these following sentences is NOT TRUE? A. All the employers in Britain obey the Equal Pay Act. B. In 1970, a law was passed to give British women the right to share property equally in the case of divorce. C. The Equal Pay Act gave British women the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value. D. Women cannot get promotion as equal as men. 44. What is men's attitude? A. They consider women to be equal to them. B. They always look up women. C. They consider women the stronger sex. D. They consider women the weaker sex. 45. What should women do to eliminate sex distinction? A. They should suffer with pleasure. B. They should struggle to change their fate. C. They should earn more money. D. All are correct Fill in each numbered blank with ONE suitable word: Nonverbal communication, or "body language", is communication by facial expressions, head or eyes movements, hand signals, and body postures.
