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

Coral reefs are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems. They are full of life, with perhaps one quarter of all ocean
species depending on reefs for food and shelter. This is a remarkable statistic when you consider that reefs cover just a
tiny fraction of the earth’s surface and less than two per cent of the ocean bottom. Because they are so diverse, coral
reefs are often called the rainforests of the ocean. Coral reefs are very important to people. They even provide seventy
per cent of the food demands for some marine species, protection of shorelines, jobs based on tourism (nine out of
twelve activities for tourists in Nha Trang, for example, involve the coral reefs), and even medicines.
Unfortunately, climate change is the greatest global threat to coral reef ecosystems. Scientific evidence now clearly
indicates that the Earth’s atmosphere and ocean are warming, and that these changes are primarily due to greenhouse
gases derived from human activities.
As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent.
Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce to calcification
rates in reef- building and reef- associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through decrease in PH. This
process is called ocean acidification.
Climate change will affect coral reef ecosystems, through sea level rise, changes to the frequency and intensity of
tropical storms, and altered ocean circulation patterns. When combined, all of these impacts dramatically after ecosystem
function, as well as the goods and services coral reef ecosystems provide to people around the globe.
There are so many things you can do to ensure that you are environmentally conscious when you visit coral reefs
or coastal areas. These include things such as hiring local guides to support the economy, removing all trash from an
area, never touching or harassing wildlife in reef areas, and avoiding dropping your boat anchor or chain nearby a coral
reef.
Finally, stay informed and spread the word! Educate yourself about why healthy coral reefs are valuable to the
people, fish, plants, and animals that depend on them. Your excitement will help others get involved.

C. Twenty- five per cent D. Nine per cent
Question 40: Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere directly caused__________.
A. infectious disease outbreaks B. reef- building
C. sea level rise D. ocean acidification
Question 41: Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A. Coral reefs can be compared to rainforests due to its diversity.
B. The effects of global warming are only on the ecosystems themselves.
C. You can help the coral reefs by educating not only yourself but people around you.
D. Human activities which cause greenhouse gases are major reasons for the climate change.

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 question.
When Malaysia takes the ASEAN chair next year, it will face a huge challenge. Too few of us know enough
about this grouping we call the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. We do not know what it means to be a part of
ASEAN and why it is important to us. At the same time, pressure is mounting to reinvent ASEAN to make it more
people-centric and less government-centric. The Heat speaks to Global Movement of Moderates CEO Saifuddin
Abdullah on why ASEAN should mean more to us than just acronyms.
ASEAN people do not feel like they are a part of the community of Southeast Asian nations. This statement,
backed up by survey findings, is pretty bizarre, and extremely hurtful too, considering that ASEAN is 47 years old
today. “Interview 10 persons on the Street and you would perhaps get only one of them who knows about ASEAN,”
says Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah. This CEO of Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) is not running down ASEAN;
he’s confronting the truth as it impacts the project he has been entrusted with. Here’s more, in 2012, the ASEAN
Secretariat conducted a survey that showed only 34% of Malaysians had heard of the ASEAN community. This
compares with 96% of Laotians. Malaysia chairs ASEAN next year, and GMM is a member of the national steering
committee organizing the ASEAN People’s Forum (APF), a platform designed to bridge the gap between governments
and civil society. Never heard of it? You’re forgiven.
The APF actually started off life in the 1990s, except it was called the ASEAN People’s Assembly (APA). It was
held back to back with the ASEAN Summit, which is held twice a year. The APA is the forum where 10 leaders of
government engage with 10 leaders of civil society in a half-hour meeting. “It was going well until one year when the
chairman decided not to hold the APA, so it was discontinued until 2005 when Malaysia took the chairmanship of
ASEAN again and founded the ASEAN People’s Forum (APF),” Saifuddin explains. In a perfect world, forums such as
the APF or its predecessor APA would have worked perfectly to bridge the gap between government and civil society.
However, as Saifuddin points out, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) often do not see eye to eye with their
governments. For instance this year, Myanmar is chair of ASEAN and in the APF, three member nations – including
Malaysia – decided not to recognize the CSO leaders chosen as representatives so the APF did not take place. “This is
where the GMM wants to play a role in ensuring that this situation does not arise again,” Saituddin says.
