Read the passage below and choose the best answer among A, B, C or D for each question :

Once there were lots of pandas in the mountains of Western China. Today they are becoming extinct. The reason is that they cannot find enough food. Pandas eat bamboo leaves. They do not like another food. The bamboo grows very slowly. It can take 10 years for a bamboo to grow from a seed to a big plant. Some types of bamboo have seeds only once every 60 years. Pandas must wait many years for their food to grow. While the bamboo is growing, pandas do not have enough leaves to eat.

Farmers are using more and more of the land on the mountain side to grow food for man. The farmers cut down the bamboo. Bamboo leaves become less plentiful. Pandas can not find enough food to eat. They starve and die.

China and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are trying to save the pandas. In 1979 they began to set up special parks where pandas live. Once such park is the Wolong Reserve in Sichuan. The Wolong Reserve has the highest number of pandas in the world. Scientists come here to study the panda’s eating and mating habits. By learning more about panda’s habits, scientists can save it from extinction.

Question: How long does it take a bamboo to grow into a big plant?

A. 10 months

B. A decade

C. A century

D. 60 years

1. What would happen if we all stopped eating meat? (Điều gì sẽ xảy ra nếu tất cả chúng ta ngừng ăn thịt?)

2. Why are people eating less meat? (Tại sao mọi người ăn ít thịt?)

Saving the environment doesn't have to be expensive. You don't need to buy an electric car - just change your diet! Here are some of the biggest benefits of choosing a plant-based diet: 

We would reduce greenhouse gases.

According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), farmed livestock produces 14.5% of the world's greenhouse gases. If we all ate plant-based diets, we would reduce food-related greenhouse gases by 70% by 2050.*

We would save water.

Farming takes up about 70% of all freshwater use and nearly one-third of that is for livestock.** Do you know how much water is used to produce just one kilogram of beef? Over 15,000 liters! Beans, on the other hand, need about 4,000 liters per kilogram and vegetables need just over 300 liters on average. ***

We would save forests and wild animals.

In many parts of the world, forests are being cut down to make land for farming. Deforestation leads to many problems, but the most obvious one is that wild animals lose their homes. According to FAO, of all the land we use for farming, 77% is used for livestock, including the land we use to grow their food **. If we ate less meat and planted more food for humans, we would have more land for forests and wild animals.

Eating less meat is one of the best ways to reduce your impact on the planet. If you start eating more plant-based foods, you might even like vegetables more than meat!

Teen Shopping Habits in Vietnam

We interviewed three teens about their shopping habits. Read on to find the best tips.

Thanh, 16: “I like to shop at thrift stores. It's more fun and, of course, less expensive than buying clothes in the shopping mall. And your clothes will be unique. Also, we already have so much trash on our planet, so I don't think we need to buy new clothes. My top tip is to pay attention to the brands. Some brands use quality materials, and if you see them at a thrift store, get them quickly before someone else does.”

Vân, 15: “I buy most of my clothes from a local store near my house. I can walk there in just a few minutes. It's much easier and less crowded than at shopping malls, and the customer service is better. The sales assistants are friendlier and always give me good advice on what to buy.”

Ngọc, 15: “I prefer to do my shopping at shopping malls. It's easier because my parents don't have to take me to different stores. My advice is to be careful with money. Decide how much you can spend,and don't spend more than that. Never buy things you don't need just because they're on sale. My least favorite clothes are always things I bought just because they were cheap.”
