The Mekong River is believed to be formed 17 million years ago. It is the world’s 12th longest river covering 4.345 kilometres from its source in the Tibetan Plateau to the Mekong Delta. Though the Mekong River runs through 6 countries, three-fourths of the drainage area of the Mekong lies within the four countries: Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Viet Nam.
The Mekong River originates from the Sanjianyuang in the Tibetan Plateau, where a national nature reserve has been established. From the Tibetan Plateau, it passes throughTibet’s eastern part to Yunnan’s southeastern section and the Three Parallel Rivers Area. This area is known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Mekong River lies between Salween River on the west and Yangtze River on the east. From this area, the river runs for about 10 kilometers on the border between Myanmar and China before reaching the tripoint of Myanmar, China and Laos. It continues to flow southwestwards along the border of Myanmar and Laos for about 100 kilometres until it gets to a second tripoint known as Golden Triangle belonging to Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. The river then mainly flows through Laos for over 1200 kilometres before crossing Cambodia, where it is joined by the Sap River. To the end of its lower course the Mekong River enters Viet Nam where it is named Cuu Long River and finally empties into the sea through a network of distributaries.

Sông Mekong được cho là hình thành cách đây 17 triệu năm. Đây là con sông dài thứ 12 trên thế giới với chiều dài 4.345 km từ nguồn của nó ở Cao nguyên Tây Tạng đến Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long. Mặc dù sông Mekong chảy qua 6 quốc gia nhưng 3/4 diện tích thoát nước của sông Mekong nằm trong 4 quốc gia: Lào, Thái Lan, Campuchia và Việt Nam.
Sông Mekong bắt nguồn từ Sanjianyuang ở cao nguyên Tây Tạng, nơi đã thành lập khu bảo tồn thiên nhiên quốc gia. Từ cao nguyên Tây Tạng, nó đi qua phần phía đông của Tây Tạng đến phần phía đông nam của Vân Nam và Tam Giang Tịnh Lưu. Khu vực này được biết đến là Di sản Thế giới của UNESCO nơi sông Mekong nằm giữa sông Salween ở phía tây và sông Dương Tử ở phía đông. Từ khu vực này, sông chạy khoảng 10 km trên biên giới Myanmar và Trung Quốc trước khi đến ngã ba Myanmar, Trung Quốc và Lào. Nó tiếp tục chảy theo hướng tây nam dọc theo biên giới Myanmar và Lào khoảng 100 km cho đến khi gặp ngã ba thứ hai được gọi là Tam giác vàng thuộc Lào, Myanmar và Thái Lan. Con sông sau đó chủ yếu chảy qua Lào trong hơn 1200 km trước khi băng qua Campuchia, nơi nó được hợp lưu bởi sông Sáp. Đến cuối dòng hạ lưu, sông Mekong chảy vào Việt Nam nơi nó được đặt tên là sông Cửu Long và cuối cùng đổ ra biển thông qua một mạng lưới các nhánh.

COMETS
Andy heard from his friends that a comet was coming. He knew that a comet was a space rock. Space rocks seemed exciting. He wanted to watch it at night. All he had to do was go outside and watch. That was easy enough.
That night, he put on a jacket and went outside. He looked around. He saw the moon, but he did not see anything else. There were only a couple clouds, so that was not the problem. He could see some stars, but nothing new or special. Where was the comet?
He called his friend on the phone. They talked about it. His friend told him where to look, but he still didn’t see it. What was going on? Was he not special enough to see it? Were his eyes going bad? What was he doing wrong?
Andy went to get his dad. Together, they looked up in the sky where it was supposed to be. Finally, after several minutes of looking, he saw a fuzzy thing, brighter and bigger than a star, but nowhere near what he expected.
“I thought it’d be like an extra moon or something.” Andy complained.
“It’s not big enough for that, and it still might be very far away.” Dad explained.
“I still wish I could see it better.”
Dad nodded and went inside. When he came back out, he had a telescope. Together, they focused in and saw the comet a little better. It wasn’t much, but it helped.
“What else can we see?” Andy wondered.
Dad smiled and aimed the telescope over at the moon instead. That was cool. Seeing the craters and the details of the moon up closer was nice.
Astronomy was interesting. Andy made sure to read more about it at school!
31. What was Andy excited to see in the sky?
A. rainbows B. clouds C. the moon D. a comet
32. What problem did Andy have when he tries to look at the comet?
A. There were too many and he couldn’t find the right one.
B. He couldn’t see it.
C. It was too bright to see anything.
D. The sky was very cloudy.
33. When he couldn’t find the comet, what did Andy do first?
A. Called a friend B. Asked dad for help
C. Got a telescope D. Checked the Internet
34. When he still couldn’t find the comet, what did Andy do next?
A. Called a friend B. Asked dad for help

A. constellations B. a planet C. the moon D. a comet
