It is a common misconception that greenhouse gases only have detrimental effects on the Earth and our world
would be a much better place without them. In actual fact, they play an indispensable role in our ecology. The
Earth’s most abundant greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, CFCs and water vapour, all of
which can be found near the Earth surface. They absorb radiation, heating up the atmosphere. For example, carbon
dioxide and water vapour take in infrared radiations coming to the earth. At the same time, they partly reflect these
infrared radiations back to the earth’s surface. The process of radiation absorption maintains the temperature of the
Earth in a way that makes the green planet habitable for mankind. Without these greenhouse gases and their
service, the Earth’s temperature would fall drastically and become uninhabitable.
29. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To inform ways to conserve the earth
B. To deal with a mistaken belief regarding greenhouse gases
C. To emphasise the damaging effects of greenhouse gases
D. To define and categorise greenhouse effects

The documentary Home (2009) is a masterpiece by the brilliant and ecology-minded French director Luc Besson and
the accomplished aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film brings its audience exquisite views of the
Earth from above. Together with enthralling images, the film shows alarming statistics about climate change. These
images and figures do a good job in describing how our beautiful planet has been changed and is being destroyed
into an uninhabitable one. The English narration of the movie was done by Glenn Close, the Spanish narration by
Salma Hayek. The documentary aims to encourage sustainable behaviour among humans and provide basic
instructions on the conservation of the Earth. The film producer explains that, despite its extra-terrestrial viewpoint,
the film is named “Home” since the word “home” has the same meaning in all languages. The ultimate message of
the film is that each of us should save this only ‘home’ mankind has.
