Plastic and the environment
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from parts of
plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the
Earth’s supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from
plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last for a long
time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed. They can remain in
rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be smelly, ugly, and harmful to our
planet.
Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used again to
make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways.
Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others
can be made into fibres (strands of material) for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic ones. A lot
of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than throwing them
away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to
charity shops.

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 from 36 to 42.
People who daydream are often thought of in negative terms, such as being lazy or not doing what they
should be doing. However, scientists who study the brain have learned many interesting things, especially
from studying the brains of daydreamers. In fact, far from being a waste of time, some scientists believe that
daydreaming is a healthy and useful activity for all of our brains.
In order to study the brain, scientists use special devices that scan the brain and show pictures of which
parts of the brain are active at certain times. By using this technique, they proved that when a person is
daydreaming, the device will show a distinct pattern of activity in the brain called the “default” mode of
thinking. In the default mode, the top or outside part of the brain is very active. Actually, several regions of
the brain are interacting in this mode. Some scientists describe this mode as a time when the brain focuses
on itself rather than focusing on the environment around the person. Typically, this occurs when a person is
doing simple, tedious work or performing routine actions that don’t need much attention, like walking to
school or cooking simple foods. People tend to daydream during such activities.
The importance of daydreaming lies in developing both creative and social skills. When the mind is not
engaged in dealing with one’s immediate situation or problem, then it is free to wonder about things. A time
of wandering allows the mind to create things. New inventions may be imagined, or possible solutions to a
problem can be planned. For example, solutions for problems in relationships with other people may come
to mind. In fact, most daydreams involve situations with others. Perhaps these are daydreams based on
memories of the past, or daydreams of what might be in the future. In either case, daydreams help us
develop the appropriate skills we can use in real interactions with others.
As neurologist Dr. Marcus Raichle of Washington University explains: “When you don’t use a muscle,
that muscle really isn’t doing much. But when your brain is supposedly doing nothing and daydreaming, it’s
really doing a tremendous amount.” During the so-called “resting state” the brain isn’t resting at all!
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Can daydreams reduce the hours we sleep? B. How is daydreaming different from sleeping?
B. Who daydreams more, men or women?
C. Why is daydreaming good for people?

A. One’s immediate environment. B. Several regions of the brain.
C. The “default” mode of thinking. D. The outside part of the brain.
Question 39. What does the brain focus on in the “default” mode?
A. A person’s immediate situation. B. Appropriate relationships.
C. Itself. D. Routine actions.
Question 40. The word “wonder” in the passage is closest in meaning to________.
A. consume B. question C. drag D. celebrate
Question 41. According to the reading, which of the following would NOT be a result of letting the mind
wonder about things?
A. A job that needs close attention. B. A new invention.
C. A solution to a problem. D. A way to act in a relationship.
Question 42. What does Raichle mean by the quote used in the reading?
A. The brain develops one’s muscles. B. The brain and our muscles both need rest.
C. The brain is a lot like a muscle. D. The brain is different than a muscle.
