Greenhouse gases refer to the atmosphere gases that cause greenhouse effect. Some of
these gases happen naturally, while others are caused by human ac-tivities. Carbon
dioxide, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and water vapor are some examples of greenhouse
gases.
Greenhouse gases act like a natural blanket to the earth. They keep the temperature of the
earth warmer and longer. Greenhouse gases cause many environmental and ecosystem
problems.
Because the temperature of the globe is warmer, the glaciers and polar ice caps begin to
melt. As a result, sea levels have risen. The studies also show that floods and droughts are
more severe. There are also more reports of extremeweather, like hurricane Katrina. There
will be more tidal wave and beach erosion on the coasts.
Many species of plants and animals also face the danger of extinction from global warming,
because they will not be able to adapt to the change in the weather and climate. For
instance, the rises in sea level can increase the salinity of freshwater across the globe. Many
species of freshwater fish and plants will be affected by this change. It is estimated that over
a million species of plants and animals will be extinct by 2050.

C1. All spiders spin webs. That’s because webs help spiders. Webs help spiders do three
things. Webs help spiders hold eggs. Webs help spiders hide. And webs help spiders catch
food.
Webs help spiders hold eggs. Many spiders like to lay their eggs in their webs. The webs
help keep the eggs together. Webs help spiders keep their eggs safe.
Webs help spiders hide. Most spiders are dark. They are brown, grey, or black. But spider
webs are light. They are white and cloudy. When spiders hide in their webs, they are harder
to see.
Webs help spiders catch food. Spider webs are sticky. When a bug flies into the web, it gets
stuck. It moves around. It tries to get out. But it can’t. It is trapped! Spiders can tell that the
bug is trapped.
That’s because spiders feel the web move. And the spider is hungry. The spider goes to get
the bug.
As you can see, webs help spiders hold eggs. Webs help spiders hide. And webs help
spiders catch food. Without webs, spiders would not be able to live like they do. Spiders
need their webs to survive.

C2: Many people like to eat pizza, but not everyone knows how to make it. Making the
perfect pizza can be complicated, but there are lots of ways for you to make a more basic
version at home. When you make pizza, you must begin with the crust. The crust can be
hard to make. If you want to make the crust yourself, you will have to make dough using
flour, water, and yeast. You will have to knead the dough with your hands. If you do not have
enough time to do this, you can use a prepared crust that you buy from the store. After you
have chosen your crust, you must then add the sauce. Making your own sauce from scratch
can take a long time. You have to buy tomatoes, peel them, and then cook them with spices.
If this sounds like too much work, you can also purchase jarred sauce from the store. Many
jarred sauces taste almost as good as the kind you make at home. Now that you have your
crust and your sauce, you need to add the cheese. Cheese comes from milk, which comes
from cows. Do you have a cow in your backyard? Do you know how to milk the cow? Do you
know how to turn that milk into cheese? If not, you might want to buy cheese from the
grocery store instead of making it yourself. When you have the crust, sauce, and cheese
ready, you can add other toppings. Some people like to put meat on their pizza, while other
people like to add vegetables. Some people even like to add pineapple! The best part of
making a pizza at home is that you can customize it by adding your own favorite ingredients.
