Read the passage and answer the questions

The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter. I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round! Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the years- for example strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons.

Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Every thing was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them. They miss real life

1. What did the writer like most about living on a farm?

2. What does the word " them" in line two refer to?

3. In the coutryside, which season can we buy strawberries?

4. Why did the writer never eat tinned food when living in the country?

5. Can people in the city grow vegetables all year round?

II/ Read the passage and answer the question :
Air pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other source create so
much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution threatens the health of the
people who live in cities. City wastes cause water pollution when they are poured into the waterways.
These wastes kill fish and make some areas unfit for swimming. In addition, many large cities have
difficulties in disposing their garbage. The amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are
quickly filling up Citizens, governments, industries, scientists and business people must work
together in different ways to gradually reduce pollution.
True ( T ) or False ( F ) in the space provided
1/ Air pollution is a serious (dangerous) problem in many cities . __________
2/ Air pollution doesn't cause danger to people's health in some cities
3/ Motor vehicles and factories are some of sources of air pollution . ____________
4/ Only factories are the main source of air pollution ._________
5/ Air pollution is the only problem of the environment in this passage .
6/ Some areas are unfit for swimming because of the city wastes .____________
7/ The amount of the garbage in large cities reduces each year ._________
8/ Everyone must cooperate to reduce pollution . ______________

III/ Read the passage and answer the question :
Everyone wants to reduce pollution, but the pollution problem is as complicated as it is serious.
It is complicated because much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. For example,
exhaust from motorbikes causes large percentage of air pollution. But the automobile provides
transportation to millions of people. Factories discharge much of the material that pollutes air
and water, but factories give employment to a large number of people.
Thus, to end or reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many things that
benefit them . Most people do not want to do that, of course. But pollution can be gradually
reduced in many ways. Scientists and engineers can work to find ways to lessen the amount of
pollution that such things as automobiles and factories cause. Governments can pass and enforce
laws that require businesses and individuals to stop or to cut down on certain polluting activities.
True ( T ) or False ( F ) :
1. All people want to reduce pollution_____
2. Pollution problem is neither complicated nor serious_____
3. Pollution is brought about by things that benefit people_____

4. People have to sacrifice what they have to stop or reduce pollution_____
5. The government can't do anything to stop or reduce pollution.______
IV/ Read the passage and answer the questions:
Every day on radio, on TV and in the newspapers, we hear , see, read about many problems in
the world , for example , pollution problems.
Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars,
airplanes, trains and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere even
in the city where many people are living. The second pollution is sea pollution. Many people earn
their living from fishing the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so
polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing the
fish, but also affecting those people who eat fish.
Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more
difficult every day. We must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live.
True — False — Not given?
1. Pollution is one of the city's problems_____
2. Exhaust fume comes from vehicles , airplane and factories_____
3. People pollute seas from dynamite fishing____
4. You can find easily a place nowadays that is not polluted_____

TEST 3

Question 1: Supply the correct forms of the verbs in brackets.

It is crucial that Dido (stop) using Quang Ha. I will ring the bell one more. if he (not answer),I think he must(go) out I am sorry about the noise last night. We (have) a party. The man who (rescue) had been in the sea for ten hours. A great deal of time (be) spent for his exercise. We want (pay) better wages. People always (blame) their circumstances for what they are. You (stop) by a policeman if you (try) to cross the road now.

Question 2: Use the correct form of the words in brackets to complete the following passage.

The families in our streets are slowly being driven mad by the..............(1- refuse) of the inhabitants of No.13 to have any form of............(2-communicate) with them. The trouble started over what is known as noise..............(3 - pollute). Every evening, the...........(4- think) neighbours used to turn up the volume on the TV so loud that no one in the (5 - neighbour) was able to hear anything else. Not knowing what............(6 - act) to take, local residents held a meeting to see if anyone had any............(7 - suggest) as to how to deal with the problem. A decision was made to send a number of people to talk to the family in No. 13 and ask them.............(8- polite) to turn their music down after six in the evening.

Question 4: Read the text then choose the correct answer

Computing is now at the same stage as printing was when the first printing presses were used. Before printing presses were invented, only rich people like kings and dukes could afford to buy books. Often these people were unable to read and hadn't enough time to learn. In any case, the books were so big that it was difficult for anyone to relax with a book as we do today. They wanted books because they were expensive and there was something magical about them. Only a few people were able to write, and it took an extremely long time to write a book.

Issues in big cities

These days, more and more people prefer urban life because of all the opportunities it brings about, namely job opportunity, recreational facilities, decent education and high standard of living. However, once they settle down in a city, they have to face up to more than one problem.

To begin with, the life in the urban city is also very stressful and busy. City dwellers often have a hectic pace of life, which means that they rarely have enough time for recreational activities. People have to work hard and compete fiercely to earn a decent living, which puts people under a lot of pressure. Moreover, working hard and extra working hours mean that urban residents have very short time for their family and friends. Many people have complained that parents in the cities do not pay much attention to their children and people tend to talk less to each other.

Furthermore, people have to put up with heavy pollution in the city.There are many kinds of pollution such as air, water, land, noise and even light pollution. This is understandable because there are numerous pollutants in the city. For example, exhaust fumes from vehicles or emissions from factories are the main causes of air pollution. Pollution is detrimental to human health. It can create some incurable diseases for people such as lung cancer when we inhale too much fume and dusk.

Another serious problem is unemployment, while many people move to the city with hope of find a job, their dreams turn sour due to the competitive job market. In the city the demand for the quality of workforce is getting higher and higher. Poorly-trained workers from rural areas may become jobless in the city.

In conclusion, should people want to move from the countryside to the urban areas, they have to consider all the advantages and disadvantages before making up their mind.

_____ 1. There are more opportunities than problems for people living in the urban areas.

_____ 2. Although people in the city are busy, they can always have time for entertainment activities.

_____ 3. People have to work hard and compete fiercely to make money.

_____ 4. People don’t have to tolerate heavy pollution in the city.

_____ 5. Air pollution is the most serious issue in the city.

_____ 6. The competitive job market in the city causes difficulties for workers with low quality to find a job.
