Read the following text and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
Climate change has affected wild animals and plants all over the world, but some
species are more endangered than others. Polar animals, whose icy habitat is melting in
the warmer temperatures, are particularly at risk. In fact, studies show that the Arctic
sea ice is melting faster than ever! Polar bears and seals need sea ice as places to raise
their young, feed, or rest.
Rising sea levels threaten the habitats of sea turtles, which depend on beaches to lay
their eggs. Many people may not know that the temperature of nests determines whether
the eggs are male or female. Unfortunately, rising temperatures mean that most turtles
will be born females, and this may lead to population decline.
 Climate change does not only have an impact on wildlife, it's affecting us, too. Farmers,
especially in developing countries, are the most affected. They are dealing with higher
temperatures, heavier rainfall, floods, and droughts. Environmental conditions can also
affect plant growth and crop quality. For example, in Kenya, because of climate change,
rainfall is becoming heavier and less predictable. Droughts are often followed by large
amounts of rain, which makes growing tea, Kenya's most important crop, very difficult.
