Read a text about common wedding rituals in the USA and answer the questions that follow The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to the same in a more luxurious setting And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants

The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to wreak havoc in low-lying,

densely-populated delta regions around the globe

massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors

Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice Both processes are caused by global warming The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven metres (23 feet), which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai

Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say But up to now, there has been a perplexing gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reconcile the models with observed data Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 metres (2,300 feet) from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC

23 What happens when the ocean's temperature rises? A It causes sea levels to rise

B It causes sea levels to remain constant C It causes sea levels to decrease

24 The rise in water levels is especially dangerous for small island nations and: A low-lying urban areas

B all coastal cities

C people who live on the beach 25 The new study:

A shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.32 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels B did not reveal anything that scientists didn't already know

C used new techniques to assess ocean temperatures 26 Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to: A lower water levels

B better predict climate change

C bury sea-level cities like Dhaka and Shanghai 27 What was the main finding of the study?

A That not enough is being done about global warming

B That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought C That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat

Kids can also things to (29) a difference, given the chance And though their skills and talents may vary, they can use their unique gifts to help to preserve the environment and save the world One of the children in the stories, Olivia, says:

It is remarkable that someone (31) _ as Olivia can understand so well the connection between society, the environment, and the problems we are facing today It has been proved that every small act of kindness we show can make a great impact on the world around us For some people, (32) protection and conservation means stopping the growth and development of technology and society But this is a popular belief that is not true Protecting the environment isn't about stopping progress It's about (33) our consumption habits and taking care of the environment Just by doing simple things, every one of us including the youths can their share in making this world a better place to live
