MEET THE RUBBISH WARRIOR
 He has been called ‘The King of Rubbish’, ’The Rubbish Architect’ and most recently ’The Rubbish Warrior’. Michael Reynolds doesn't just collect rubbish and recycle it; he turns it into sustainable green homes known as ‘earthships’. These eco-friendly houses are made from natural and recycled materials. Anything from old tyres, glass, plastic bottles and tins to old electrical appliances and cars are used as building materials. The homes are self-sufficient with solar panels and wind turbines to generate electricity. They also have rainwater collection systems and a constant inside temperature that allows residents to grow a small vegetable and fruit garden indoors. All these design factors contribute to the total independence of the home by using natural resources. By providing their own power and water, operation costs of these earthships are low with little to no utility bills. Building materials are also inexpensive, making these homes affordable for everyone.
 Trained as an architect, Michael responded to concerns back in the 1970s about the ever increasing rubbish problem and environmental crisis by building sustainable homes out of the rubbish. ‘Thirty five years ago I saw dark clouds on the horizon... Lots of people also saw the environmental crisis coming but weren’t inspired to do anything. They thought I was a fool going to the dump and recycling rubbish before recycling even existed,’ Michael says, looking back. Well, no one is laughing at him anymore. After years of being snubbed by the architectural community and battling outdated building laws, Michael’s work is now being taken very seriously. He started with building homes for himself and like-minded people in New Mexico. The owners appreciated the homes and understood their importance but publicly they were still seen as radicals. The value of Michael’s work came into the spotlight when he and his team were invited to the tsunami hit area of the Bay of Bengal in 2004. Michael and his team passed on their knowledge to the desperate people there while at the same time building several critical shelters with the tons of rubbish left behind from the disaster.
 This provided Michael with the opportunity to experiment and create some of his most inspired designs while not being restricted by building regulations. The homes are earthquake- and hurricane-proof and built to collect rainwater. Micheal and his crew have visited other disaster areas to help rebuild communities including areas hit by hurricane Katrina and more recently the earthquake in Haiti in 2010. As word catches on, his designs have spread to every corner of the globe. Michael has even created a name for his type of work, ’biotecture’ to describe the designing of buildings with the goal of sustainability. According to Michael it’s a sort of ‘combination of biology and architecture’ that addresses a number of serious problems now facing mankind. When rubbish becomes the building material, less waste goes to overburdened landfill sites. Shortages of water and energy are eased when households create their own supply.
 Michael calls himself and others working like him ' biotects’ and sees their creations not just as homes but as an alternative way of living. “Earthships are a model of the future that goes beyond house and architecture," he explains. Residents become an active part of their local ecosystem, living hand in hand with nature and not just consuming it. It’s a sustainable way of living that this warrior will continue to fight for.

LIKE NOTHING ON EARTH!
 I couldn't believe my eyes as people in blue space suits floated around on the screen in front of me. They were laughing and trying to catch objects drifting past them. A voice spoke "Imagine floating like an astronaut. Experience true weightlessness, just as NASA's astronauts do, aboard our specially modified Boeing 727 airplane, the Zero C aircraft!" The video came to an end and our instructor switched on the lights before speaking to us. "So are we ready then?" I could never have imagined what I was about to do! It all started a few months ago when a friend of mine encouraged me to enter a competition on a local radio station. The winner would get to experience an 'anti-gravity' flight operated by a company called Zero C. An opportunity like this is rare as the starting price for a ticket is over £3,000. The only other way to access such a flight is to qualify as a student for one of the educational programmes offered. So you can imagine my surprise when I got a call saying I had won.
 The day of the flight finally arrived and it was a bright, cool morning as our small group made their way to a large airplane hanger. Our instructor was there to greet us and we were each given our own blue space suits. Next, we sat down to watch an informational video. It explained that we would experience 'micro gravity' or zero gravity as our plane did a series of steep climbs and descents. It was during the descents that we would experience zero gravity that would last about 30 seconds and then gravity would suddenly return. Finally, the video demonstrated some safety techniques such as keeping our feet down or risk landing on our heads. Just before boarding the plane our instructor recommended not getting caught up with doing flips and turns but instead trying to enjoy the unique sensation of weightlessness. I would later realise how important his suggestion really was.
 The plane took off and soon we were high above the clouds. Suddenly it was time. "Feet down!" called out our instructor. Whoosh! My body rose abruptly from the floor and I was floating light as a feather! I tried to turn but there was nothing to hold on to. An arm caught my foot and sent me slowly spinning towards the ceiling. I was hovering effortlessly near the ceiling when all of a sudden the pilot pulled up and I fell to the floor! This happened another 12 more times during the flight. I felt like a pinball bouncing around in all directions before crashing to the ground again. On the last time, I remembered what our instructor had said; I just lay back and took in the amazing sensation of weightlessness.
 Before I knew it, we were back on the ground and taking pictures in front of our spacecraft. The feeling of zero gravity is almost impossible to explain. Unlike skydiving and free falling, a person does not feel the pull of gravity. Nothing I've experienced before can come close to what it's like to float in anti-gravity. It's something everyone should experience for themselves. I know I'm glad I did as it was a once in a lifetime experience that I'll never forget!
Question 38: The writer feels the zero gravity experience is.....
A. similar to free falling.	B. not something everyone should try.
C. difficult to describe.	D. something he definitely wants to do again.
Question 39: The writer was able to go on the anti-gravity flight because.......
A. it was a prize he won.	B. he qualified for an educational programme.
C. he won the money for it in a competition.	D. his friend won it on a local radio station.
Question 40: Before the flight, the instructor......
A. demonstrated flips and turns for the flight.	B. gave some important advice about the flight
C. explained how zero gravity is achieved.	D. explained safety techniques for the flight.
Question 41: The Zero G aircraft......
A. is an astronaut training plane.	B. was adapted for zero gravity flights.
C. belongs to NASA.	D. was specially made for space travel.
Question 42: When zero gravity begins, the writer describeshis body as....
A. a pinball being bounced about.	B. rising slowly off the ground.
C. going quickly up in the air.	D. spinning out of control to the ceiling.
Question 43: What is the phrase "get caught up with" synonymous with?
A. be stuck in	B. be involved in	C. get entangled in	D. be punished by
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions.

Question 46: The estimated increase in population in the city will mean that there won't be enough housing for everyone.
A. The city will be short of housing for all the people living there due to the anticipated rise in the number of its inhabitants.
B. The city needs to set aside some housing in case a large number of people move into it in the near future.
C. Since we've had enough housing in the city so far, we won't be short of accommodation in the future.
D. The housing shortage the city is suffering is the result of the recent rise in population.
Question 47: Clara has hardly worked since she graduated from university three years ago.
A. If Clara had worked harder in university, she would have found work after she graduated three years ago.
B. Clara has done very little work during the three years since she graduated from university.
C. Clara has been working hard for the past three years since graduating from university.
D. It has been hard for Clara to find work since three years ago, when she graduated from university.
Question 48: It's possible that your computer crashed because of the excessive number of songs you saved on it.
A. The crash of your computer might have been caused by the fact that you saved too many songs on it.
B. It turned out that your computer crashed after you saved all those songs on it.
C. You should have known that saving so many songs on your computer would cause it to crash.
D. Your computer wouldn't have crashed if you hadn't saved so many songs on it.

B. Henry arrived at the airport two hours sooner, because he might be late for his flight to Tokyo.
C. Henry was afraid that he would miss his flight to Tokyo, because he wouldn’t be able to arrive at the airport till 2 o’clock.
D. Henry’s plane to Tokyo was due to leave at 2 o’clock, but he was so afraid of missing it that he got to the airport a long time before that.
Question 50: We needn't hurry. There is a delay of about two hours.
A. There is a delay of about two hours; therefore, we won't be in a hurry. 
B. We shouldn’t hurry because there is a delay of about two hours.
