READING — Plastic (31–35)

Write True (T) or False (F).

Tips for using less plastic
The world has a plastic problem and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable. But in the meantime, there are things we can do to help.
Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store. People use 1,000 billion plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent of them are used in the United States.
Skip the straw. Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world's beaches. So when you order a drink, say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. Seattle became the first major US city to ban plastic straws in 2018.
Do not use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of beverage you like. Some cities in Australia have completely or partially banned bottled water. People around the world buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute.
Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Do not buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, consumers are encouraged to buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers.
Recycle. We cannot recycle all plastic items, but it is possible to recycle most bottles and milk or juice cartons. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. Supermarkets have machines that collect bottles and give shoppers a refund of up to 2.5 kroner.

About 100 billion plastic bags are used in the United States every year.

READING — FOMO (36–40)

Choose A, B, C or D.

How often do you check your phone every day? Twenty, fifty, eighty times? Surveys have shown that the average person checks their phone about seventy times a day. Some people spend up to nine hours a day on social media or watching videos.
We all want to post comments, follow celebrities and know what is going on with our friends. Social media can make our lives full and exciting. However, research shows that a worrying number of people cannot stop checking social media. It distracts us from other things and it can make us stressed. Scientists have given this problem a name. It is called FOMO. This stands for Fear of Missing Out! Three children in every classroom today may have this problem.
People who have FOMO feel they need to check their social media sites all the time. They have a real fear that they will miss something new, interesting or important. Perhaps a friend has met a new boyfriend, a celebrity has talked about his new film or there is a funny video about a new dance craze trending? This problem is that on social media there is always something new, so this person needs to check again and again. A habit has turned into an obsession.
Do you know someone who starts and finishes their day with social media updates? Do they get irritated and dissatisfied with their lives? Do they get anxious if they cannot check their phone? Then this person probably has FOMO. And they may need help.

What is the passage mainly about?

The benefits of using social media
The effects of spending too much time on social media
The reasons people enjoy using their phones
The attraction of social media to young people

Who do many people want to follow on social media?
