Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

    Because the world's population is growing quickly and quickly, more buildings and roads are being built. Sadly, this has destroyed natural habitats. At Green Habitat, our main aim is to save nature for the future. We have been carrying out different campaigns to achieve our target.

    Our first campaign is about stopping people from building things close to natural habitats. The main target is that we want people to be fully aware of the damage to the local plants and animals that they have caused. For the past ten years, we've been protesting against human activities near the habitats of endangered animals. Therefore, local governments must pass laws to stop these projects and protect natural homes, and the locals can take necessary actions to avoid causing dangers to the natural world.

    The second campaign is about saving displaced animals. When animals lose their homes because of human activities, they are more likely to enter residential areas and cause problems. Our volunteers rescue those animals and reintroduce them to their natural habitats, which allows them to live safely.

    The last campaign is about teaching kids to preserve the environment. Volunteers go to schools and youth centers to show kids why it matters to keep homes safe for animals. We believe that if kids grow up knowing this, they'll be willing to contribute to a better future.

    We're always looking for more volunteers to help us protect nature. If you're interested in joining us at Green Habitat, go to www.greenhabitat.com to sign up or donate to support our work.

Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to each of the questions.

    Every nation has their own cultural characteristics that make its food customs special. Therefore, tourists should be highly aware of the cultural differences and keep in mind what to do and not to do at the table.

    First, the world's diets are generally related to religious sensitivity. For example, if you visit the areas populated by Hindus in India, don't expect to eat beef because cows are considered sacred, and the Hindus are not allowed to harm them. However, if you visit the areas where the locals are Islam, it's impossible to order pork in a restaurant because Muslims are prohibited from eating pork. If you're traveling to a Buddhist nation where the population is strictly vegan, don't be annoyed if it takes you hours to find animal-based dishes because it's taboo to serve them.

    Second, how people eat is determined by their culture. Some Asian countries that have their own particular noodle dishes require people to eat with chopsticks, which is completely different from eating with forks in Western countries. Chopsticks have been used to eat dishes like noodles for many generations. Therefore, learn how to use chopsticks properly so you can try some delicious noodles in Asian styles. In many Islamic nations, the locals eat with the right hand because the left hand is culturally considered dirty. In some Islamic communities, it might be difficult to find some kinds of cutlery tools like forks and chopsticks; if you were lucky enough to find some, they could be quite expensive.

    In summary, food customs are created under the influence of religious sensitivity and culture. Therefore, be mindful of the place you're visiting and choose a place to eat carefully in order to show respect for the locals.
