If you happen to be walking in your local park tomorrow and you find an abandoned book with a label inside "Read and Release me", don't just treat it as a . You've probably come across an example of "bookcrossing", a book-sharing movement started in 2001 by American software developer Ron Hornbaker, whose stated aim is to "make the world a library".
Bookcrossers "release" books either by passing them on to friends, or else by leaving them in public places for others to pick up, or "catch", and then read, before they in release them back "into the wild". Once a book has been "caught", the person finding it is to record the event by logging on to the bookcrossing website and entering the book's ID number written on the label. That way, both the original owner and subsequent readers of the book can keep track of its progress.
Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
What are the consequences of global warming? These are some predictions.
A rise of only a degree or two in the temperature of the planet will cause floods in many parts of the world. This is because the melting of the ice caps will cause a big rise in sea level. We will lose a lot of important farmland, and people will have to leave some of the world’s biggest cities.
Some deserts are growing so fast that we can see and measure the changes. Some scientists believe this is because of human activity (mainly cutting down trees), but others think that it is an effect of global warming. Good agricultural land is being changed into desert.
Animals adapt to survive in the climate of the area where they live. If the climate changes, it will become too hot for some animals and too cold for others. Insects like mosquitoes will move to new areas and take malaria with them. Some crops won't grow and many people will starve.
Some scientists believe that nature will absorb the effects of greenhouse gases. For example, carbon dioxide dissolves easily in seawater. Shellfish use it to produce their shells. One theory is the shellfish will be able to absorb extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Plants also absorb carbon dioxide. We know that the rain forests use carbon dioxide to photosynthesize and produce oxygen. This is why the rainforests are so important. If we don't protect them, the level of carbon dioxide will increase.
