Many people like to keep pets. Dogs and cats are very popular pets. Some people,
however, keep birds or goldfish. They need less space and are easier to look after.
If you want to have a pet, you can buy one from a pet shop but you must be careful not to
buy a sick animal. It Is best if you know something about the pet you want. This helps you
choose a healthy pet. However, if you do not have much money and know very little about
animals, you can visit the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
The first society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in England in
1821. It was set up to make sure that all animals are treated with kindness. The RSPCA in
Hong Kong carries out this aim. The RSPCA officers collect animals which have no homes
and are left in the street. They look after them until they are healthy again. People visiting the
RSPCA may choose their pets from these animals and you can be sure that you will get a
healthy pet. If later your pet becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at the RSPCA for
treatment.
When you have a pet, it is very important that you look after it properly. You must
remember to feed it at suitable times. You should also give it a clean and comfortable place to
rest. Your pet will be happy and healthy if you love it and care for it properly.

have to start saving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and solar power is the only
alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it’s very

Millionaire” was based there. Poor people have to live in slums. In the slum, people have to
live with many problems. People have to go to the toilets in the streets and there are open
sewers. Children play among sewage wastes and doctors deal with 4,000 cases of death a day

slum is based around this area. There are toxic wastes in the slum including hugely dangerous
heavy metals. Dharavi is made of 12 different neighbourhoods and there are no maps or road

(2) and unemployment.
The (3) of megacities brings enormous challenges to governments, social and
environmental planners, architects, engineers and the inhabitants of the megacities. Just one
example: the London population grew from one million to eight million in 150 years, while
the population of Mexico City grew from one million to over 15 million people in only 50
years.
No wonder that the (4) number of people living in cities more
demands, in areas such as housing and services. The destruction of our environment and
poverty are two other concerns, which city (5) have to take care of.
Megacities influence a variety of living (6) for citizens. Although traffic
jams, poor air quality and increasing health risks, make life in (7) more
difficult, people continue to choose to live there. Therefore it is essential, that more
government programmes are carried out in (8) to help improve living conditions
for the inhabitants of metropolitan areas.

especially for young people. According to the authority, Mexico City and São Paulo produce

VII. Read the following passage and answer the questions below.
120
The Philippines has one of the fastest growing populations in Southeast Asia. From
having fifty million inhabitants in 1980, the Philippines today is home to around ninety-eight
million people with 12 million living in Manila only.
Manila, the Philippine capital, is one of the most overpopulated places on earth. There are
few other areas where so many people live so closely together: On average there are 66,140
people per square kilometer, but in some slum regions there are as many as 90,000 people
living per square kilometer.
The world overpopulation is a growing and complex problem. But for the residents of
Manila the result is quite simple. They are running out of space. Families live in home-made
shacks built in cemeteries, of between railroad tracks or under bridges. They live wherever
they can find some space. Even the city’s toxic garbage dumps are home to people who eat,
sleep and live surrounded by rotting trash. With so many residents, the city’s resources are
strained to the limit. Large parts of Manila’s 12 million residents lack clean drinking water,
work, and access to healthcare and education.

VI. Read the following passage and decide if it is T or F.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, world’s
energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also
should use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to
Professor Marvin Burnharm of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start
conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.
However, many people disagree to use nuclear power because it’s very dangerous. What
would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may
badly affect the future generations. The most effective thing is that we should use natural
resources as economical as possible.
