IV. Read the passage and answer the questions.
About 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs became extinct. The hot, dry climate of the Cretaceous Period quickly changed as a result of an asteroid hitting the Earth. This collision sent dust and debris into the atmosphere which blocked sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface. The dinosaurs could not quickly adapt to the Earth's colder climate and eventually became extinct. While the dinosaurs are no longer with us, today a number of plant, insect, and animal species are finding their habitats being destroyed, and they too are in danger of extinction. Human activities that are destructive to the environment such as the development of industry, housing, and farming are destroying the habitats of many species. For example, in the Amazon Rainforest, thousands of hectares of forest are being destroyed as trees are being cut down to make way for cattle farms, logging and housing. Scientists warn that many plant and animal species from this area of the world will become extinct soon unless we quickly stop destroying their habitats.
1. Did the asteroid impact cause the extinction of dinosaurs?

You can find a thrift store, or thrift shop, or charity shop throughout cities in many countries. These shops mainly sell used goods, such as clothing, books, music albums, shoes, DVDs, toys, and furniture. Most of the goods are donations from the public, so they are very cheap. Shopping at thrift stores is traditionally an economical way to buy clothes and basic necessities for low-income families and individuals. Today thrift store shopping has become a fun and exciting way for many people to find rare and expensive goods at a low price.
The purpose of thrift stores is to raise money for charities. The money you spend at a thrift shop usually benefits a church, school, or community group.

A Survey on Future Communication
In a recent survey, TechNews asked young people to predict how they will talk to each other in 30 years' time. The results are not surprising. Only 10% of the respondents think people will still send letters and postcards to each other by 2050. About 30% think holography and telepathy technologies will allow them to communicate in real time with their friends. Most people say that they will connect through super smart devices instead of in person. Meanwhile, more than half of the respondents express their concerns about future communication. They say that if children spend most of their time interacting on the Internet, they may also not be able to communicate face to face very well in 30 years.
