EX13: Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks:
Household air pollution
About 3 billion people cook using wood, coal or crop waste on open fires traditional stoves. This cooking causes household air pollution. This type of pollution contains health damaging pollutants. It can lead to child and adult diseases such as heart disease and lung cancer.
The governments would reduce poverty if they reduced solid fuel (wood, coal) use. Cleaner fuels such as biogas, electricity and solar power should replace solid fuels. We can also reduce indoor air pollution by drying fuel wood before use or keeping children from smoke. Moreover, we can lower pollution levels by using improved stoves. These stoves are effective in reducing smoke because of lower emission levels and shorter cooking times.
Task A: Mark the sentences T (True) or F (False)
1. About 2 billion people use wood or coal for cooking
2. Household air pollution contains pollutants harmful to health
3. Household water pollution results in heart disease and lung cancer
4. Solid fuels are oil and gas
5. Outdoor air pollution is another phrase for household air pollution
6. Cleaner fuels should replace coal or wood
7. We don’t have to dry fuel wood before use to reduce indoor air pollution
8. Using improved stoves is another way to increase pollution levels
Task B: Read the passage again and finish the sentences
1. Some solid fuels are ……………, …………… and ………………………………………
2. Some child and adult diseases are …………… and ……………………………
3. Some cleaner fuels are …………………, ………………… and ………………………
4. Cleaner fuels should …………………………………………………………………………

EX14: Read the passage and answer the questions
Land pollution is another term for soil contamination (for example, by factory chemicals or sewage and other wastewater). It means any kind or long – term land damage, destruction, degradation or loss.
Air and water pollution disappear, but land pollution doesn’t. It stays exactly where it is. Radiation can contaminate for thousands of years. That means radioactive waste dumps remain that way indefinitely.
The biggest problem comes when contaminated land is returned to use as buildings or agriculture land. People might get their water from rivers. Diseases might happen over years for this reason.
We should try to find a way of stopping or reducing land pollution. We should recycle old things to reduce our need for new ones. Also, we need to clean up many contaminated sites.
1. What’s another term for land pollution?
-> __________________
2. What causes land pollution?
-> _________________
3. Is long – term land damage a form of land pollution?
-> __________________
4. How long can radiation contaminate land?
-> __________________
5. When does the biggest problem happen?

Changes in Food Habits
Before the Stone Age, people used to eat fruits, leaves, and anything they found from the forest. However, this habit changed into hunting animals, preserving food items, and planting and growing vegetables, which eventually led to farming different crops like maize, corn, and rice. People were healthy, they rarely had diseases and never needed extra exercise because their daily work kept their bodies running.
At present, we have turned agriculture into a mass scale production, including machinery, technology, and pesticides, all of which came in with the green revolution. With the green revolution agriculture and the traditional farming culture turned upside down. As far nor now, farmers who are able to cope up with the multinational cooperation’s and their large-scale, expensive products, pesticides, and high-yielding varieties of seeds, keep producing crops for the market. Yet the traditional, low-income farmers even today, especially in Asian countries, are in a dire state. Fast food is another major factor in modern food habits. Although many people find it convenient, it leads to many health conditions. Today people are unhealthy, need medicine, and function on diets and exercise machines.
A. Decide whether the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).
1. People in the past ate healthy food so they rarely had diseases. __________
2. The green revolution is the decrease in agriculture production. __________
3. The green revolution caused agriculture to change completely. __________
4. Farmers nowadays can’t meet the great demand of the food market. __________
5. Fast food is convenient but it’s not good for health.
B. Answer the following questions. 6. In the past, why didn’t people need extra exercise? _______________________________________________________________
7. Who is still in the serious situation despite the development in agriculture? _______________________________________________________________
8. How are people nowadays compared to those in the past? _______________________________________________________________

HURRICANE KATRINA
New Orleans, in Louisiana, is known as the most unique city in the United States with distinctive architecture, cross-cultural heritage and annual music festivals.
However, due to its location along the Mississippi River with lakes on the other side, and nearly half of the city below sea level, the city faces the danger of flooding. So, a levee system and drainage canals were built to protect the city.
Early in the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina, the most destructive natural disaster in the history of New Orleands, struck the city. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rains for several days. As a result water from the river and lakes rose, breaking the levees and poured directly into the city. Soon 80 percent of the city was under water. People scrambled to rooftops for safety, desperate for food and drinking water. The winds were so strong that even beds in Hyatt Hotel were seen flying out of the hotel windows. The loss was ‘tremendous’. Most of the major roads and bridges were destroyed and houses collapsed. Nearly 2,000 people were killed. After the storm, several natural grounds for the breeding and migrating of different species of animals and birds were permanently lost.

Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake.
As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings. Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires, which followed. If the earthquake had occurred at night while people were sleeping, far fewer would have died.
A. Answer the following questions.
1. How many people were killed after the earthquake?
2. Why were the engines prevented from going to help?
3. Was it possible to use fighting equipment?
B. Choose the correct answer.
4. When did the earthquake start?
A. in the afternoon B. before noon C. at night D. after midday meals
5. What was the main cause of the damage and death of most people?
A. The roads B. The collapse of the building C. The water pipes D. The fire

52.Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers.
GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS IN VIETNAM
Gift giving is important in Vietnam because of the significance of interpersonal relationships in Vietnamese culture.
First and foremost, do not encourage corruption. There is a clear cut between gift-giving and bribery. Nevertheless, it is common in Vietnam for exchanging small gifts on certain occasions such as anniversary, Tet holiday... to express your respect, love, appreciation or gratitude.
Gift-giving customs depend on the context. If it is a private gift for one Vietnamese partner you should give the gift at a private occasion. If you have a gift for the whole office or company, you should give it after the business meeting with the whole office’s employee.
Do not wrap a gift in the black paper because this color is unlucky and associated with funerals in Vietnam. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the relationship.
Vietnamese may or may not open these gifts when they are received; leave the option to them. You will also receive gifts and should defer to your host as to whether you should open it when received or not. Regardless of when it is opened or what it is, profuse thanks are always appropriate.
According to the passage, why is gift giving important in Vietnam?
(2 Points)
A.Because it helps to establish a friendship.
B.Because it’s common in Vietnamese culture.
C.Because it’s the best way to build up a stable relationship.
