Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. Many ships also use it.

Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much as oil from other countries.

However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.

Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other countries.

Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future.

Until relatively recently, newspapers were our primary source of daily news. They must now compete, however, with online news, social media and television in a progressively digital age. The internet is changing the way people get their news, leaving a dwindling audience willing to pay for their daily paper. But given that the form first emerged in early-17th century Europe, it"s probably about time the medium got overhauled. Newspapers have witnessed an extraordinary era of change: from the evolution of democratic institutions and political parties to the reshaping of whole countries and continents.

By the end of the 19th century, newspapers were using a visual template not unlike those of today, and had become the source of not only large profits but also unaccountable political and social influence for their owners – a trend that has continued to the present day. Newspapers prospered in this form for more than 150 years, and in many countries, daily life would have been inconceivable without access to one. But in many places, the continuing existence of newspapers is under threat.

Circulation figures for all types of newspapers, local, regional and national, bear out the fact that, in many Western nations at least, sales of printed newspapers had been falling for many years prior to the emergence of the internet. What is also beyond question, though, is that the arrival and exponential growth of the World Wide Web, leading to near-universal coverage, has accelerated this process greatly. Observing the rapidity and extent of this process around the world provides a fascinating insight into social change.

We now live in an age where speed and convenience have gained precedence over reliability and quality in most aspects of our existence. Regarding the former, newspapers only allow getting updated about events some considerable time after they have actually happened, while online users can access them more or less at the moment at which they occur. Printed newspapers, therefore, provide a less efficient source of news and, furthermore, do so in a less environmentally-friendly way than the internet, and at a direct cost to the consumer. Moreover, with news also available on tap through social media, consumers are continually bombarded from all sides, and therefore may not wish to have each story explained in great detail, as is the case in much of the printed media. Social media sites have also proven to be one of the most effective means of getting information out rapidly, and on a huge scale: news can now be tweeted before the mainstream media have even started their coverage.

When 37-year-old Heather Marcoux was expecting her son several years ago, she and her husband assumed he would be the first of many. But today, the parents are very clear that the young boy will never have a sibling. “We can offer our one child a pretty good standard of living,” she says. “But if we added any more kids, it would go down significantly.”
It's easy to see why young people are hesitating to have large families. Financial stability is more difficult to achieve than ever. One in 10 non-retired Americans say their finances may never recover from the COVID pandemic. For many, home ownership is nothing but a wild dream. In Marcoux's case, having to pay increasing living expenses and maintaining a home are part of the reasons why the family won't have more children. It's scary, she says, to think that something catastrophic could happen and throw them into financial crisis in the uncertain future. On top of that, adds Marcoux, she worries that she isn't providing enough for her son.
For other would-be parents, these financial concerns are only compounded by worries over political and civil unrest, both local and global. While wars and political issues have been a reality for nearly every generation, parents today face a world that seems much scarier than that of their own parents or grandparents. Despite higher-than-ever life expectancy, improved technology and access to modern healthcare, the constant presence of the mass media everywhere means we're much more aware of all the terrifying things happening around the world, from food shortages to school shootings.
The ongoing climate crisis is also a factor. A 2019 poll by Business Insider showed close to a third of Americans thought couples should “consider the negative effects of climate change when deciding whether to have children”. Marcoux says she fears the next generation will suffer with the worst effects of climate change, and she worries about the dismal version of the Earth her child and potential grandchildren will inherit. “Why would I bring another child into the mix when I sometimes think about the future and am just terrified for him or her?” This is also the question many young people have as they decide how many children to have, or whether to have any at all, in the face of increasingly desperate reports about the state of the planet.

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 33 to 37.

Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With older people, it is also rude to ask how old they are, why they are not married or why they do not have children. It is also impolite to ask people how much they have paid for something, unless there is a very good reason for asking.

In the future, cities will need to grow in a good way and not damage the environment. People who manage cities in the future will have to consider a large number of things, including transportation, energy use and green spaces. All of these will need to be improved to make future cities pleasant places to live.
Smart systems will run successful future cities, including self-driving vehicles powered by eco-friendly fuels, such as electricity produced by solar panels or wind power. Transportation by car within the city will actually be faster than now, because there will be less congestion. A lot more people will commute to and from work on subway systems and in buses with their own lanes. Most trucks will disappear from city streets because delivery of goods will be by drone.
Successful future cities will have a lot more green spaces than today, which will improve air quality and reduce, to some extent, the worst effects of climate change. Research has shown that green spaces improve mental health as well as physical health, so the people who live in these cities will generally be happier than today. Although it will be expensive, new parks must be built. In addition, green spaces will also be put on top of buildings, private and public, and trees will be planted alongside all streets.

Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to use them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place in the future because of the plastic bags.

Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used every year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is further exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India.

Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes. About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal. Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another victim may ingest it. One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. The decomposition takes about 400 years. No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic! Thus, save the environment for the future generations as well as animals.

Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this non-renewable resource increasingly. And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed every year around the world. Surely, this precious resource should not be wasted on producing plastic bags, should it? Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life. It is necessary for our energy requirements - for our factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on. Without viable alternative sources of energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the entire world grinding to a halt.

So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping. You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag. Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. These can come into use for various purposes, like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones. While governments may be working out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible. Cut down your use of plastic, and do your bit to save our planet.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Over the past few years, working from home has become very popular all over the world. [II] An increasing number of companies allow employees to work from home at least one or wo days a week. [III] While working from home can come with many benefits, there are also some drawbacks to consider. [IV] The most common advantage is that it doesn't involve any commute to work. Many people spend more than 30 minutes each way travelling to their workplace and often have to deal with train delays or traffic jams during rush hour. Long daily commuting is also linked with increased levels of stress and anxiety. Therefore, people save time for getting extra sleep or eating a healthy breakfast if they work from home. Furthermore, working from home offers greater flexibility, which means employees can choose when to start and finish their working day as long as they complete all tasks on time and meet the deadlines. By having control over work schedules, people can attend to personal matters and achieve better work-life balance. For example, working mothers can take care of their children or adult learners can fit classes into their busy life.
However, working from home is not suitable for everyone. Some employees may feel isolated and lonely when they don't have much contact with their colleagues and organisation as a whole. They may miss the social interaction and creative atmosphere in the workplace. They may also prefer face-to-face supervision and meetings with managers or colleagues. Therefore, it would be difficult for these employees to complete their work on their own at home. In addition, when people work from home, they may find it hard to avoid distractions such as screaming children, dogs barking, or household chores. Even if they have a dedicated workspace in their home, it may not be easy for them to stay focused on their work, be efficient, and meet targets.

In today's fast-paced modern world, where everything can be done with just a simple click, online shopping has easily become all the rage, with multiple e-commerce websites doing all they can to meet the demand and keep the tides flowing via multiple sales every few months. And it's very easy to see why. For one thing, it saves everyone the trouble of going to a physical store since everything can be bought with your phone, with the added benefit of that product getting delivered to your doorstep. According to psychotherapists, however, too much online shopping should be recognized as an actual mental health disorder.
It's not a new problem in the first place. Throughout time, the idea of shopping to make ourselves feel good has always been considered as a problem, and is usually referred to as 'buying-shopping disorder,' or BSD. However, experts state that when placed in the context of the internet age and today's technological climate, it takes on a whole new, worse meaning, and is now so rampant that it affects one in 20 people.
Those who suffer from BSD can easily start showing negative behaviors, such as spending too much money on things they don't need, buying things just for the sake of buying, end up in debt and in worst cases, even lose self-control. "It really is time to recognize BSD as separate mental health condition and to accumulate further knowledge about BSD on the Internet," Dr. Astrid Müller, a psychotherapist at Hannover Medical School in Germany, said. In one of their studies, she and her colleagues looked at data from 122 patients seeking help for their online shopping addiction and found that they have a higher risk of developing both anxiety and depression. And while BSD is not classified a disorder, it affects five percent of the population, and so should be given more serious attention.

In the past, cell phones were big and heavy. In the future, telephones will still be big. The good news is that people will be able to fold them in half to make them smaller. The "foldable phone" is now in development.
One company has come up with a smartphone and tablet in one. This device can fold down to the size of a regular cellphone to make it "pocket-size." The foldable phone has a larger screen, keyboard, and high-quality speakers. This makes easy to use. The flexible display can go from smartphone to tablet just by unfolding it. The interior screen is so big that it can run three different apps at the same time. People can watch a video, talk about it, and browse websites online. There are also two batteries inside the phone - one on each side. Many companies have been looking for ways to improve smartphones. The foldable phone is unlike anything else that has come before it. This powerful machine is a smartphone, computer, and camera all in one. There is a current race to get foldable phones on the market. But we'll have to wait and see how well these new smartphones work. If people like them, maybe one day we will be able to fold and even stretch our phone.

When it comes to ambition, no two people are alike. Every class has its outstanding students, every company has its wonderful employees, and every family has its successful members. Then there is someone who is happy with whatever life brings. So what makes us different?
A person's desire to succeed depends on so many factors. He or she may have goals, but without the ambition to get started, they never take the first steps to achieve them. Similarly, those with an ambition but no clear goals tend to begin many projects, but do not ever follow them till the end.
Although there are not any strict rules about how to 'teach' ambition or what decides it, many successful people do share some things. Most scientists agree that it helps to have parents who encourage their children to try new experiences, praise their successes, and accept their failures. In those families, kids often have much higher confidence levels. They know how to set goals and keep trying until they achieve them. Money also plays an important role. Those who are not very rich often want to earn money. It forces them to work hard all the time to improve their life.
However, the desire for success can create its own stress. Working too hard to achieve success can lead to illnesses. These days, even teens and young adults are feeling the stress. Trying to get into good colleges and find good jobs has forced high school students to study harder than ever. For many, it is difficult to find the balance. One solution may be to get together with family and friends, and do the things we enjoy. Most would agree that those values are far more important than any wealth or success.

The global market for plant-based meat, a type of meat made from plants, is projected to explode to 85 billion US dollars in 2030. Grocery stores are offering consumers an increasingly diverse array of burgers, sausages, and seafood options that have no trace of animal products. But if you think a diet of plant-based food is better for your health, you may want to look at the facts and seriously contemplate your choice before reaching a decision.

According to one recent study, the nutritional benefit of plant-based foods is minimal. Researchers from the Singapore Institute for Food and Biotechnology Innovation investigated the outcome of replacing bacon, chicken, beef burgers and ice cream with animal-free versions. What they found was that diets which substituted animal products with the plant-based alternatives were below the daily recommendations for essential nutrients vitamin B12, calcium, potassium, zinc and magnesium, and higher in sodium, sugar and saturated fat, all of which can be harmful to your body in excessive amounts.

Plant-based meat manufacturers argue their products contain similar amounts of protein that are comparable in quality to animal protein. However, “foods contain hundreds to thousands of compounds that are capable of impacting human health.”, says Stephan van Vliet at the Duke Molecular Physiology Institute. In their own studies, Van Vliet and colleagues compared samples of different plant-based meat alternatives with ground beef and found that 90 percent of them were different from each other. Plant-based meat alternatives lacked certain essential amino acids and other substances like creatine, taurine and anserine, which can all have an impact on our health and potentially brain function as well as muscle function.

Interestingly, Van Vliet also discovered that other beneficial substances like polyphenols and antioxidants were found in greater quantities or only in plant-based meats, which denotes a complementary relationship between plant and animal-based foods in our diet, where some nutrients are better obtained from animal sources and others from plants.

Unless you have grown up with a talent or are keen on something that you can make a career out of, you need to consider certain things about yourself. What suits your personality? We are all different and just because your best friend wants to be a doctor, this does not mean that you should follow. You need to make an informed decision. This means thinking carefully about the path you need to follow to get that job. Are you willing to get the training or education needed? You must also consider why you really want to do it. If it's just because it's well paid, then sometime in the future you are going to feel 'empty', even with a healthy bank account.

Nowadays, there are plenty of online career sites, but the main part has to come from you. You need to be honest and measure your skills and talents realistically. Also, you may need to talk to your parents who have their own ideas, based on their own experiences, about what you should do. They have your best interests at heart. They don't want to see you having financial problems or being unemployed. But at the end of the day, it is your life. There is no point in being miserable for the next forty years just to please someone else.

Nicolas Vandenberghe's company has 42 employees scattered among 36 cities in 15 countries. As technology makes it possible for people to be in constant touch while working remotely, businesses like Chili Piper are becoming the norm. "We have Zoom, Slack, and an array of other collaborative tools — do we really need face-to-face meetings?" asks Vandenberghe, whose business makes software to help companies manage meetings.
Whether it means a parent working from home while caring for a sick child, an employee who logs into a company computer daily from a coffee shop or an entire firm that operates online, remote working is gaining momentum at small businesses. Technology that makes communication and meetings easy is a big factor in the growth of remote working. But a shrinking labour market, which means companies must now recruit employees outside their main area of operation, is also an influential factor that should be taken into account. Another reason why remote jobs is becoming popular is the fact that working remotely is usually very flexible; employees can make their own hours, take time off for children's activities or to go to the gym or walk the dog.
But even as remote working grows, business owners find managing offsite employees involves more than giving them the latest technology. For instance, owners say a remote operation can't work without trust between a boss and staffers, especially because it can be difficult for an owner to know what an employee is doing during a workday. Tyler Forte recalls that when he first managed staff remotely, he worried that his employees were spending time on social media sites and checked on them too frequently, making them feel uncomfortable as a result. But over time, "you know that you're all working toward the same goals and you eventually develop trust in them," says Forte, adding that he has also found project management softwares that help him keep track of what everyone is doing.
Sometimes, remote work can also be a bad fit for some employees because it often is isolating, which means they can feel disconnected and even alienated from co-workers. That can be countered to some extent through messaging channels that allow everyone to join a fun discussion. Some bosses even went further and created channels devoted to specific topics such as pets, sports, etc. Meanwhile, other owners find remote work can stifle a team's overall creativity. "You're able to brainstorm ideas better in person than when you've got several people on the phone," says Andrew DeBell, CEO of a company in California.

Environmentalists often fear that tourists will trample all over sensitive natural resource areas, but tourism may bring the needed and only economic incentives to help drive conservation, said Bynum Boley. Ecotourism and natural resource conservation already have a mutually beneficial relationship that is ideal for creating a sustainable partnership.
"Ecotourism destinations benefit in the form of enhanced tourism competitiveness from the protection of quality natural resources," he said. "Meanwhile, the conservation of these natural resources is increasingly valued since these pristine natural resources are the foundation of the ecotourism industry and the driver of all economic benefits associated with ecotourism."
Tourism is a $7.6 trillion global industry, provides 277 million jobs and is a primary income source for 20 of the world's 48 least-developed countries. It also subsidizes environmental protection and helps protect, conserve and value cultural resources that might otherwise be undervalued by the host community, Boley said. In the newspaper, Boley and co-author Gary Green said that despite past tension between the tourism industry and environmentalists, the two should team up as allies to fight off increasing conversion of land away from its natural state, Ecotourists not only provide a boost to the economy in such places, they can also motivate landowners into keeping the environment in its natural state instead of converting it into something unsustainable. They could also influence the public perception of conservation, Boley explained, which does not often favor environmental protection.
“The public has become increasing less prone to respond to environmental messages,” he said. “Economic messages are needed in order to attract the public's interest.” Too often, Boley and Green said, unique natural resource areas are converted into urban, suburban and agricultural developments without considering their ecotourism potential. In addition to the lost ecotourism revenue, there are a host of negative environmental consequences such as biodiversity loss, water and food shortages and the land being unable to mitigate the effects of climate change. These areas are not valued for their unique attributes or the valuable natural resources they provide, Green said, “so we lose them.” Tourists have historically been seen as having a negative impact on the environment. Critics complain that they violate fragile and threatened natural environments while contributing to greenhouse gases from the increased number of flights to these exotic and often remote locales. While these criticisms are justified, Boley and Green said responsible programs promote education of ecological conservation and environmental sustainability, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of these exotic areas.

Today, WHO listed the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA 1273) for emergency use, making it the fifth vaccine to receive emergency validation from WHO.
WHO’s Emergency Use Listing (EUL) assesses the quality, safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and is a prerequisite for COVAX Facility vaccine supply. It also allows countries to expedite their own regulatory approval to import and administer COVID-19 vaccines.
The vaccine has already been reviewed by WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE), which makes recommendations for vaccines’ use in populations (i.e. recommended age groups, intervals between shots, advice for specific groups such as pregnant and lactating women). The SAGE recommended the vaccine for all age groups 18 and above in its interim recommendations dated 25 January 2021.
The US Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for the Moderna vaccine on 18 December 2020 and a marketing authorisation valid throughout the European Union was granted by the European Medicines Agency on 6 January 2021. The WHO’s EUL process can be carried out quickly when vaccine developers submit the full data required by WHO in a timely manner. Once those data are submitted, WHO can rapidly assemble its evaluation team and regulators from around the world to assess the information and, when necessary, carry out inspections of manufacturing sites.
The Moderna vaccine is an mNRA-based vaccine. It was found by the SAGE to have an efficacy of 94.1%, based on a median follow-up of two months. Although the vaccine is provided as a frozen suspension at -25°C to -15 °C in a multidose vial, vials can be stored refrigerated at 2-8 °C for up to 30 days prior to withdrawal of the first dose, meaning that ultra-cold chain equipment may not always be necessary to deploy the vaccine.
