Coral reefs, which you can find on the coasts of most continents and around many islands, are an importantpart of the ocean environment. A coral reef is actually a living thing. Small animals, polyps, make a hard case around their bodies. When they die, the hard case remains, and new polyps build their cases on top of the old ones. Over thousands of years, these animals build a coral reef. Coral reefs are important for many reasons. They provide a home for about 25% of all the life in the ocean. Small fish gather around the reefs because they can hide in the reef. They also eat the plants in the coral reef. Coral reefs also serve as hunting areas for larger fish, who eat the smaller fish. Without the reefs, these fish would have no food. Coral reefs are also important because they protect the beaches. The coral reef makes the waves smaller by taking some of the energy out of the waves. Without the reefs, the waves could destroy the beach. Many reefs around the world are in danger because of people. Pollution, too much fishing, and too many boats can destroy the coral reefs. We should work harder to protect the reefs because they will take thousands of years to replace. Question 37: According to paragraph 1, how do coral reefs form? A. Waves make them B.

Cambridge University is considering axing compulsory written exams, allowing students to use laptops or iPads instead, after tutors complained that students' handwriting is becoming illegible. Academics say the move, which would bring an end to over 800 years of tradition, has come about because students rely too heavily on laptops in lectures, and are losing the ability to write by hand. Dr. Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at Cambridge University, said handwriting is becoming a ''lost art'' among the current generation of students. She added, ''It's increasingly hard for our examiners to read students' scripts. Those with illegible writing are forced to come back to their college during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud in the presence of two university administrators. It's extraordinarily commendable that the University is considering reforms to its examination practices.'' Sir. Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said it is inevitable that universities will move to computers as handwriting deteriorates in the coming years. ''We By Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – Trang 3/4
4. have to accept the reality. Handwriting has now become an optional, not a necessary, part of education. There simply isn't the same time in the curriculum for learning elegant, beautiful handwriting. Life is so quick now. Everybody writes as if they were a doctor writing a prescription,'' he said. ''Handwriting is not necessary for great thought, great English, or great intelligence. Some of our finest wordsmiths today write using laptops, and we have to fight to preserve what is really important, such as the use of great English or great sentence structures.'' Others, however, were not very positive about the move. Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert, urged Cambridge to ensure that students continue to write by hand. She said, ''It's vital that people continue to write by hand. Writing by hand improves memory and equates to a higher rate of comprehension and information retention.'' There is also concern that schools could follow Cambridge's example by moving away from handwriting. Dr. Jane Medwell, Associate Professor of Education at the University of Nottingham, is concerned that scrapping handwritten exams in universities could prompt ''downward curriculum pressure'' on primary and secondary schools to follow suit. (Adapted from Question 42: Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage? A. Cambridge University in an Attempt to Improve Students' Handwriting B. Cambridge University Pondering Changes to its Exam Practices C. Cambridge University Attacked again for Abolishing Written Exams D.
