Mark: Amazing! How does he stay so active?

Read  the  following  passage  and  mark  the  letter A, B, C, or D on  your  answer  sheet  to  indicate  the correct   answer  to  each  of  the  questions   from   22  to  26

A.   Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the mast impressive Seven Wonders of the World. Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake TonIe Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as same .of the mast impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water.

One possible explanation far the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants' irrigation system. The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice patties and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production.

Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure.

Ms Hoa: Good morning, class. Today, we'll talk about the generation gap. So, what is the generation gap?

Mark: Well, I think it's the difference in beliefs and behaviours between young and older people.

Ms Hoa: You're right, Mark. So, Is there a generation gap in your family?

Mark: Not really, Ms Hoa. I live in a nuclear family with my parents and brother. We understand each other quite well though we still argue over small things.

Ms Hoa: Right. We can't avoid daily arguments. What about you, Mai?

Mai: Well, I live with my extended family, and I have to learn to accept the differences between the generations.

Ms Hoa: That's a good point. Can you give us an example?

Mai: Well, my grandparents hold traditional views about male jobs and gender roles. For example, my grandfather wants my brother to be an engineer, but my brother hopes to become a musician. And my grandmother thinks women have to do all the housework.

Ms Hoa: How about your parents? Do they share your grandparents' views?

Mai: No, they don't. They think that we should follow our dreams. They give us advice, but never force us to follow in their footsteps.

Ms Hoa: Thank you, Mai, for sharing your experiences. You must respect your parents and grandparents, but you should also express your opinion. Now let's continue our discussion with...

My bedroom is often very messy. So after I read about minimalism in a magazine, I decided to do something about my bedroom. Minimalism is a style of living where you only keep the most important items and you throw away everything else. I started by throwing away a lot of the things which I didn't use. Although it was quite difficult at first, I collected bags of clothes to give to charity. I sold some of my CDs and books online and other things I think I won't need. After cleaning up cupboards, drawers and shelves, it actually became quite exciting to get things out of my room and create some fresh space. My room became larger and cleaner, I'm no longer stepping on things on the floor. I also feel a bit better, too.
