LESSON 6 – (February 25th, 2016)
READING 1. Read the passage then do the exercises that follow it.
Campaigning for the Earth
In 1971, a small boat set sail from Vancouver, Canada, to Amchitka, one of the
Aleutian Islands connecting North America and Asia. of non-violent protest against
a nuclear test that was to be conducted by the It was a gesture United States
government. The crew on the Phyllis Cormack included a doctor, a geographer, an
engineer, a political science teacher, a deep-sea diver, a social worker, a
photographer, and three journalists. Vehement opposition of the test from politicians,
scientists, government and environmental agencies, as well as the residents of the
Aleutian Islands, had been staged for months preceding the launch of the Phyllis
Cormack. Despite the protests, the US refused to change its plans to conduct the test.
Sadly, the ship and her crew did not reach Amchitka and failed to prevent the
nuclear test from occurring. Although Amchitka had not had any inhabitants since
the mid-nineteenth century and there was no imminent danger to humans, the
explosion caused tremendous suffering to local wildlife. It also caused wide-scale
destruction of the island, including a crater more than one mile wide and sixty feet
deep. The voyage of the Phyllis Cormack did not succeed in stopping the nuclear
test, but this peaceful demonstration did have a very positive outcome. It attracted
world-wide attention and gave birth to the international movement called
Greenpeace.
Today, Greenpeace is an international, non-profit organization with offices in more
than forty countries throughout Asia, Europe, North and South America, and the
Pacific. Its headquarters is in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Each office has its own
board of directors and agenda based on the unique needs of the region. Greenpeace
representatives from around the world meet each year to discuss environmental
issues and concerns of the global community. According to its website, “Greenpeace
exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change.
It needs action.” Greenpeace is committed to making the public aware of
environmental abuses. It seeks change through creative, non-violent confrontations
between activists and those responsible for harming the environment.
Greenpeace is currently working in six major areas where there is significant threat
to the environment. The first two areas address radiation and chemical contaminants.
As its initial action against the nuclear test on Amchitka demonstrated, Greenpeace
stands firm in its commitment to end the production and use of nuclear weapons. It
also aims to eliminate toxic chemicals that are released into the environment.
12
The third area of concern is the threat posed to the environment by genetically
engineered food ingredients, which cause irreversible biological pollution and many
types of health risks. In 2002, Greenpeace published the True Food Guide. This
helps consumers to select their foods by rating food companies according to their
willingness to use genetically engineered ingredients in their products.
A fourth item on the Greenpeace agenda is the protection of marine life. Of
particular concern are commercial fishing practices that do not protect endangered
species. Greenpeace is also engaged in educating the world community about the
effects of global warming.
Finally, Greenpeace actively supports measures that will protect the remaining
ancient forests of the world. With more than 80 percent of the world’s forests already
gone, preserving what we have left seems more urgent than ever. In a recent victory,
the Maisin people of Collingwood Bay, in Papua New Guinea, won a three-year
legal struggle to deny loggers access to their land. Greenpeace played an important
role in defending the interests of the Maisin in the court case.
I. Mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to the reading.
1. .... The Phyllis Cormack saved wildlife on Amchitka.
2. .... Greenpeace works to protect the world’s environment.
3. .... Greenpeace wants to eliminate toxic chemicals.
4. .... Less than 20 percent of the world’s forests are already gone.

falling together and collapsing at a central point. If the universe were motionless, the
result would be an unavoidable collapse.
In the 1920s, US astronomer Edwin Hubble observed a critical phenomenon that
increased our understanding of the universe. Using a powerful new telescope, he
identified a group of celestial objects outside our own galaxy. By observing the
Doppler Shift of these stars---the way the wavelengths and colors of their light
changed due to their motion---he realized that they were receding from our own
position in the universe. In fact, all the observable galaxies were moving away from
each other! Furthermore, the more distant the galaxy, the faster it was moving away.
This observation implied that the universe was expanding. Hubble’s observation led
to the assumption that at some point, all matter in the universe was close together.
The event that started its expansion is referred to as the Big Bang. According to the
Big Bang theory, time and space did not exist prior to the beginning of the
expansion. Thus, the age of the universe can be calculated from the distance and the
velocities of the stars traveling away from us. Due to experimental uncertainties, a
definite age still cannot be given for the universe; however, the age of the universe is
calculated to be between ten to twenty billion years old.
The Big Bang theory has led to many other theories and predictions in science.
Physicist George Gamow realized in the 1940s that the early universe must have
been extremely hot and dense. As the universe expanded, it would cool down, and
the initial hot radiation should eventually be observable as uniform radio waves
throughout space. In the 1960s, Robert Wilson and Arno Penzias discovered cosmic
uniform radio waves that implied a temperature of about 3 degrees above absolute
zero (Kelvin). Later, technology enabled scientists to take very detailed
measurements of this radiation. They confirmed that it is extremely uniform, is of the
shape predicted by theory, and has a temperature of 2.7 degrees Kelvin. This
observation provides strong support for the Big Bang theory.
Another interesting result of the Big Bang theory relates to the movement of the
galaxies. Though the universe is expanding, the galaxies themselves are not moving.
Instead, it is the space between the galaxies that is expanding, while the galaxies
themselves remain still. It’s much like points drawn on the surface of a balloon.
When the balloon inflates, only the material stretches out and separates the points.
The points themselves do not actually move.

16
Gia sư Thành Được www.daythem.edu.vn
River into Lake Victoria. Nile perch like to eat other fish. Since they came, more
than 200 native species of fish have disappeared from the lake. The third way
humans cause damage is by destroying natural habitats. They clear trees from forests
to build houses, farms, cities, and roads. One of the most terrible instances of habitat
destructions is the cutting down of the tropical rainforests. It is estimated that these
rainforests, which cover less than 10 percent of the Earth, contain almost half of all
the world’s plant and animal species.
Human activity has had a devastating effect on the natural environment. Each year,
an international organization of scientists releases a special “red list” that updates the
status of more than 44,000 animal and plant species. In 2008, the organization
reported that 25 percent of our planet’s 5,487 mammals are on the verge of
extinction. It also claimed that almost 40 percent of all species are “threatened” with
extinction, including 33 percent of all amphibians, a quarter of the Earth’s
coniferous trees, and about 12 percent of all birds. Of all threatened species on the
red list, about 3,000 are “critically endangered,” which means they could disappear
soon.
What would happen to people if the “Sixth Extinction” takes place? Scientists say
life on Earth would be grim. There would not be enough food to eat, and water
would be too polluted to drink. New species of pests and plants would invade the
natural areas that remain. These invaders could carry new kinds of germs, causing
diseases that human bodies cannot resist. Without plants to help cool the sun, the ice
at the North and South Poles could melt, causing sea levels to rise and wash away
coastal cities. By wiping out other species, human beings might be paving the way
for the greatest extinction of all: their own.
I. Mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to the reading.
1. .... Some scientists estimate that half of all species will be extinct in the next

2. .... The Earth is facing its third mass extinction in history.
