When John Paul Yong sang his disco classic Love Is in the air, he probably wasn’t thinking about

Pollutants are clogging up the atmosphere above our planet and trapping the sun's heat. That makes
our planet warmer, which causes glaciers to melt, crazy weather patterns to develop, and natural disasters
spread like wildfires.
But there are other consequences that people don't always associate with climate change. One
surprising fact about global warming is that it makes people more aggressive.
As the world gets hotter, tempers also get fierier. A new study found that violent crimes and even
war become more likely as temperatures rise. Heart rates tend to be elevated in warm weather, so people
are prepped for a physical response to a situation. That’s not to say we're headed for a violent end as
Earth warms up, though. Advances in everything from technology to health have sparked a decline in
conflict. It's just that global warming might be slowing that decline. Climate change increases the
amount of smog in the air and causes plants to produce more pollen, according to the Natural Resources
Defense Council. Those combine to make breathing harder for people, which can be especially tricky
for people with asthma and other respiratory illnesses.
Question 29: What is trapping the sun’s heat?
A. The atmosphere B. Pollutants
C. Glaciers D. The atmosphere above our planet
Question 30: According to the paragraph 1, all of the following are results of our planet getting
warmer EXCEPT

Question 31: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. other consequences B. global warming C. surprising fact D. climate change
Question 32: The word “elevated” is closest in meaning to
A. dropped B. grew C. enlarged D.raised
Question 33: What is the topic of the passage?
A. A global warming surprising fact B. Aggressive modem people
C. The bad effects of global warming D. A study on global warming
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 34 to 40.
We get great pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will find
in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science are very difficult and
that if philosophers and scientists read these subjects, it is not for pleasure.
But this is not true. The mathematician finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school
boy in an adventure story. For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise. The
pleasure derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different types of books give
us different types of pleasure. First in order of popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of
imaginary people in imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world very
much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new life, and the experience of
this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure. Next in order of popularity are travel books, biographies and
memoirs. These tell us tales of places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested.
Some of these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they are true.
Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in knowing details of lands we have
not seen and of great men we have only heard of. Reading is one of the greatest enjoyments of life. To
book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating than a favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is
interested and absorbed in his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery into the
wonderland of books for recreation and refreshment.
