If you happen to be walking in your local park tomorrow and you find an abandoned book with a label inside "Read and Release me", don't just treat it as a . You've probably come across an example of "bookcrossing", a book-sharing movement started in 2001 by American software developer Ron Hornbaker, stated aim is to "make the whole world a library".
Bookcrossers "release" books either by passing them on to friends, or else by leaving them in public places for to pick up, or "catch", and then read, before they in turn release them back "into the wild". Once a book has been "caught", the person finding it is to record the event by logging on to the bookcrossing website and entering the book's ID number written on the label. That way, both the original owner and subsequent readers of the book can keep track of its progress.
Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
The South American Amazon Rainforest is often called the botanical lungs of the planet. Covering more than five-and-a-half million square kilometers, it additionally provides a natural habitat for over half of the Earth's most significant species of plants and animals in an area that is a little larger than half of the world’s remaining rainforest.
Unfortunately, over the last four decades, this huge lush expanse has been ever more endangered by deforestation. During the 1960s and up to the 1990s, thousands of trees were felled, but what farmers did not realize is that the topsoil, when denuded of trees, is only considered cultivable for a short period of time.
This means the farmers have to clear more and more land to continue running a profitable and productive business. Despite the reduction in the number of trees being felled, the forest is still slowly disappearing, diminishing the biodiversity of the area and having a terrible global impact, as fewer trees means it has less capacity to clean the air we breathe.
Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question.
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 schoolboy in an adventure story. For both, it is a play of the imagination, 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.
