In a single minute, the world consumes one million plastic bottles; in a year, the world consumes five billion single-use plastic bags, according to Vietnamplus. The scary fact is that such plastic bottles and bags are not properly treated, as each year, the world discharges 300 million tons of plastic waste, accounting for some 10% of all solid waste, putting the environment and human health under tenterhooks, according to the news site. The conference also drew attention to another fact: “For a plastic bag that can be used for five minutes, it takes five seconds to produce, one second to discard, but 500 to 1,000 years to become totally decomposed,” says Vietnamplus. In another message given by the UN General Secretary and delivered at the conference, it is reported that since more than eight million tons of plastic bags end up in the oceans each year, “microplastics in the seas now outnumber stars in our galaxy.” “If present trends continue, by 2050 our oceans will have more plastic than fish,” Dan Tri reports, quoting Caitlin Wiesen, country director of the UN Development Programme in Vietnam. These above-mentioned fearful facts, however, are not merely global issues, but domestic problems as well, according to local media. Many local news outlets, when relating data from the conference, point out that white pollution – a term used to indicate the overwhelming discharge of plastic bags into the environment – is even getting worse in Vietnam than elsewhere.

She studied biology at college and zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In 1936, she was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life. Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the limitations of her nontechnical readers. In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed. However, her work was proved by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee. 30- The passage mainly discusses Rachel Carson’s work A. as a researcher B. at college C. at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service D. as a writer 31- When she published her first book, Carson was closest to the age of .

B. a discussion of the hazards insects pose to the food supply. C. a warning about the dangers of misusing insecticides. D. an illustration of the benefits of the chemical industry. * From questions 35 to 40, rewrite the sentences as suggested. Example: Protecting these rare animals is essential.

And is what they learn the sort of thing they should be learning? It is my belief that children should not just be acquiring knowledge of animals but also developing attitudes and feelings towards them based on exposure to the real lives of animals in their natural habitats. But is this happening?
8. Some research in this area indicates that it is not. Learning about animals in school is often completely disconnected from the real lives of real animals, with the result that children often end up with little or no understanding or lasting knowledge of them. They learn factual information about animals, aimed at enabling them to identify them and have various abstract ideas about them, but that is the extent of their learning. Children's storybooks tend to personify animals as characters rather than teach about them. For direct contact with wild and international animals, the only opportunity most children have is visiting a zoo. The educational benefit of this for children is often given as the main reason for doing it but research has shown that zoo visits seldom add to children's knowledge of animals – the animals are simply like exhibits in a museum that the children look at without engaging with them as living creatures. Children who belong to wildlife or environmental organizations or who watch wildlife TV programmes, however, show significantly higher knowledge than any other group of children studied in research. The studies show that if children learn about animals in their natural habitats, particularly through wildlife-based activities, they know more about them than they do as a result of visiting zoos or learning about them in the classroom. (Adapted from New English File, by Christina Latham -Koenig, Oxford University Press) Question 30: What could be the best title for the passage? A. Zoos: The Best Opportunity to Learn About Animals B. Methods of Learning About Animals at School C. Learning About Animals at School D. Research on Learning About Animals Question 31: The word “disconnected” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___. A. separated B. removed C. divided D. disagreed Question 32: According to paragprah 3,what is the best way to help students learn about animals ? A. Learning in the classroomB. visiting the zoo C. Learning in their natural habitatsD. visiting a museum Question 33: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. ideas B. children's storybooks C. children D. animals Question 34: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Children's storybooks give factual information about animals. B. The writer raises the issue of the outcome of what children learn about animals. C. Learning about animals in their natural habitats teaches children more about animals than other methods. D. Zoo visits have less educational benefit than they are believed to have. From questions 35 to 40, rewrite the sentences as suggested. Example: Protecting these rare animals is essential.

16. 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. BOOKS Kids can be creatures of habit. Much like how they can watch the same movie over and over, some kids will stick to one author or genre of book that they've fallen in love with. But does it matter if they're always reading the same type of book? After all, isn't their love of reading in itself enough? Reading builds their imagination, develops their critical thinking skills, and improves their communication skills, amongst many other benefits. Well, while a love of reading of any sort is to be nurtured, when a child only reads the same author or type of book, their growth and the benefits they gain may not be as broad if they were to explore more types of books. Coaxing them to open up to reading other genres can be a big advantage for them in the long term. They will get exposed to different types of characters and lifestyles when they read a wider range of writing. For example, their favourite fantasy novels may spark their imagination, but true tales of life halfway around the world can trigger interest in traveling and foster understanding of other cultures. It helps them develop a broad perspective on the world around them. Their vocabulary will benefit, too, if they read a wide selection of books. Think of the words and the sentence structure used in a vampire book and how they will differ significantly from those in a suspense novel. They will have to sound out words, and it’ll be helpful to have a dictionary handy. With each new word encountered in the broad range of reading materials they're consuming, their vocabulary grows. Reading a variety of books will also help your child grow their love of reading and it'll fuel their motivation to read more and more. They once only adored one author, who has a limited number of books written, discovering new authors or types of books expands their choice of reading material; they'll never run out of books to add to their reading list! (Source: Câu 30: Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss? A. How many types of books there are for kids. B. Some kinds of books that kids should read. C. How kids benefit from reading a variety of books. D. How to create habit of reading books for kids. Câu 31: According to paragraph 1, reading ___. A. makes them fall in love with one author or genre of book B. is as good as watching movies C. gives children a nice habit D. builds children's imagination, develops critical thinking skills, and improves communication skills Câu 32: The word " nurtured " in paragraph 2 mostly means ___. A. promoted B. improved C. developed D. boosted Câu 33: What does the word "it" in paragraph 3 refer to? A. True tale B. Favourite fantasy novel C. Understanding of other cultures D. Imagination Câu 34: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Discovering new authors or types of books helps kids be interested in reading many books. B. Reading many genres of books can be a big advantage for kids in the long term. C. If kids read a wide selection of books, their vocabulary won’t benefit. D.

Whereas it may be little more than a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked, it becomes all the more important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your airplane, your pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid. Another short-term challenge is preventing a devastating arms race in lethal autonomous weapons. In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. Such a system could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. By inventing revolutionary new technologies, such a superintelligence might help us eradicate war, disease, and poverty, and so the creation of strong AI might be the biggest event in human history. Some experts have expressed concern, though, that it might also be the last, unless we learn to align the goals of the AI with ours before it becomes superintelligent. There are some who question whether strong AI will ever be achieved, and others who insist that the creation of super intelligent AI is guaranteed to be beneficial. At FLI we recognize both of these possibilities, but also recognize the potential for an artificial intelligence system to intentionally or unintentionally cause great harm. We believe research today will help us better prepare for and prevent such potentially negative consequences in the future, thus enjoying the benefits of AI while avoiding pitfalls.

Though wolves and dogs share some

Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a broader skull than dogs. They also walk differently than dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels raised up from the ground. This is more similar to a cat’s walk than a dog’s. Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means that dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves have not been domesticated. They are wild animals.

Wolves need to be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.
