“Many people still believe that natural resources will never be end up. Actually, the
world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we
also should save them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According
to Proffessor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start
conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it is very
dangerous. What would happen if there was a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes
cancer and may badly affect the future generation.

                STATEMENTS                                                           TRUE        FALSE

Air pollution is a cause of ill-health in human beings. In a lot of countries there are laws limiting the
amount of smoke which factories can produce. Although there isn’t enough information on the effects of
smoke in the atmosphere, doctors have proved that air pollution causes lung diseases.
The gases from the exhausts of cars have also increased air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol
produces a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets surrounded by high buildings. Children who live
in areas where there is a lot of lead in the atmosphere cannot think as quickly as other children and are clumsy
when they use their hands. There are other long-term effects of pollution. If the gases in the atmosphere
continue to increase, the earth’s climate may become warmer. A lot of the ice near the poles may melt and
may cause serious floods.
Statements True False
5. Air pollution can cause lung diseases.
6. The lead in petrol produces a harmful gas.
7. If the gases in the atmosphere increase, the earth’s climate may become cooler.
8. Ice melt from the poles can cause serious floods.

My best friend, Na learned English at school and university many years ago. She is now studying English again in London because she’s forgotten a lot of it. Na really needs English for her job. She works for an international bank in Hanoi. Her speaking and reading are excellent. She just wants to improve her writing skill so that she can write normal letter in English. In Na’s opinion the aspect of learning English she finds most difficult is listening. It’s her biggest problem. People speak very quickly and she can’t understand them. Although she has difficulty in studying this language, she likes it a lot. She said it was an interesting language and she could talk to people from all over the world… and she could understand the words of her favorite song, too.
1.English is unnecessary for Na’s job.
2. Na can speak English very well.
3. People talk  too quickly for Na to understand
4. Na finds English very interesting because she has no difficulty in studying it.

Read the following passage carefully, and then decide whether the following statements are True (T),  False (F) or No  Given (N) . (5 ms) 

             A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the huge statue on the outskirts of Cairo. This statue of the sun god has the body of a lion and the face of a human being. It is five thousand years old, but it is too badly damaged to be completely saved.

             The statue has already been dug out of the sad three times. However, the latest problems are much more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the neighborhood and the underground passages round the statue have become blocked. Too much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it.

Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster.

             Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature.  For example, although the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sun. Other natural forces such as serve sandstorms also attack the statue.

             Finally, the tourists who visit the statue everyday also cause a lot of damage.

1. The statue is in the center of Cairo.

2. Part of the statue looks like a lion and part like a person.

3. The underground passages round the statue are full of waste and water.

4. High temperatures damage stone far more than low temperature.

5. Fortunately, little damage is caused by visitors to the statue.
