E9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Greenpeace is an international, non-profit organization with offices in more than forty countries throughout Asia, Europe, North and South America, and the Pacific. Its headquarters is in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Each office has its own board of directors and an agenda based on the unique needs of the region. Greenpeace representatives from around the world meet each year to discuss environmental issues and concerns of the global community. According to its website, “Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.” Greenpeace is committed to making the public aware of environmental abuses. It seeks change through creative, non-violent confrontations between activists and those responsible for harming the environment.

Greenpeace is currently working in six major areas where there is a significant threat to the environment. The first two areas address radiation and chemical contaminants. As its initial action against the nuclear test on Amchitka demonstrated, Greenpeace stands firm in its commitment to end the production and use of nuclear weapons. It also aims to eliminate toxic chemicals that are released into the environment.

The third area of concern is the threat posed to the environment by genetically engineered food ingredients, which cause irreversible biological pollution and many types of health risks. In 2002, Greenpeace published the True Food Guide. This helps consumers to select their foods by rating food companies according to their willingness to use genetically engineered ingredients in their products.

A fourth item on the Greenpeace agenda is the protection of marine life. Of particular concern are commercial fishing practices that do not protect endangered species. Greenpeace is also engaged in educating the world community about the effects of global warming.

Finally, Greenpeace actively supports measures that will protect the remaining ancient forests of the world. With more than 80 percent of the world’s forests already gone, preserving what we have left seems more urgent than ever. In a recent victory, the Maisin people of Collingwood Bay, in Papua New Guinea, won a three-year legal struggle to deny loggers access to their land. Greenpeace played an important role in defending the interests of the Maisin in the court cas

E10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Earth Hour is a worldwide movement organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It aims to raise awareness about climate change and environmental issues by encouraging individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off non-essential electric lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. local time, on the last Saturday of March each year. The event began in Sydney, Australia, in 2007 and has since grown to involve millions of participants across more than 180 countries and territories.

The primary goal of Earth Hour is to highlight the urgent need for action on climate change. By switching off lights, participants send a powerful message about the importance of reducing energy consumption and the environmental impact of human activities. The symbolic gesture of turning off lights serves as a reminder of the small steps that can be taken to conserve energy and protect the planet.

Each year, landmarks and iconic buildings across the globe participate by turning off their lights. Famous structures such as the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, and the Empire State Building have gone dark during Earth Hour, symbolizing global unity in the fight against climate change. This collective action not only raises awareness but also inspires communities to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives.

In addition to turning off lights, Earth Hour is marked by various activities aimed at educating the public about environmental issues. These include community events, educational workshops, and initiatives to promote renewable energy sources, reduce waste, and protect natural habitats. By engaging communities, Earth Hour fosters a sense of responsibility and collective action towards a more sustainable future.

While Earth Hour has been successful in raising awareness, it also faces challenges. Critics argue that turning off lights for one hour is a symbolic act that may not lead to substantial environmental benefits. However, proponents of Earth Hour emphasize that the event’s true value lies in its ability to mobilize people and initiate conversations about sustainability. Moving forward, Earth Hour aims to expand its impact by integrating more concrete actions and long-term commitments from participants. This includes encouraging individuals and organizations to adopt energy-efficient technologies, reduce carbon footprints, and support policies that promote environmental sustainability.

Earth Hour represents a powerful and unifying call to action in the global effort to combat climate change. By participating in this annual event, individuals and communities can demonstrate their commitment to protecting the planet and inspire others to take meaningful steps towards a sustainable future. As the movement continues to grow, Earth Hour serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the collective power of small actions in creating significant change.
