There are three separate sources of hazard in the ***Câ u 914*** of supplying energy by
nuclear power.First, the ***Câ u 915*** material must travel from its place of manufacture to
the power station. Although the power stations themselves are solidly built, the containers
used for the transport of the materials are ***Câ u 916***. There are normally only two
methods of transport ***Câ u 917*** namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these ***Câ u
918*** close contact with the general public since the ***Câ u 919*** are sure to pass near
or even through, heavily ***Câ u 920*** areas. Second, there is the problem of waste. All
nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will ***Câ u 921*** radioactive for
124
thousands of years. It is impossible to ***Câ u 922*** these wastes no radioactive, and so
they must be ***Câ u 923*** in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented.
For examples, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines or
sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake
could easily ***Câ u 924*** the containers open. Third, there is the problem of accidental
***Câ u 925*** due to a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two, this
is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection ***Câ u 926*** the nuclear
program. Nevertheless, it can happen. Separately, these three types of risks are a great
cause for***Câ u 927***. Taken together, though, the ***Câ u 928*** of disaster is extremely
high.

There are millions of people today who are able and ***Câ u 959*** to work but
unemployed. In this time of high unemployment, putting job satisfaction before job security
is a luxury most people can’t ***Câ u 960*** . For example, a friend of mine gave ***Câ u
961*** a secure secretarial job to find work that was more rewarding and exciting. That was
five years ago. She is still not employed ***Câ u 962** . If she wanted to return to her old job,
she would no longer be ***Câ u 963***  since the company now ***Câ u 964*** computer
skills. She risked job security to look for more interesting work, and she lost. She’s not only
having a hard time ***Câ u 965***  ends meet, but she also has none of the ordinary job
***Câ u 966*** , such as medical insurance or pension plan. I know someone else who is
working for a small company doing administrative work. A few years ago, she was very
***Câ u 967***  to change careers and look for different job. ***Câ u 968*** , she decided
instead to look for ways to change her job, she asked her supervisor for more ***Câ u
969***  in areas that interested her. Her supervisor agreed, and today she is very happy in
her work. She chose to try to alter her job so that it becomes more ***Câ u 970***  to her
instead of looking for other work. I believe that it’s ***Câ u 971*** these days for people to
look for challenges and changes within their present job ***Câ u 972***  than trying to find
different work and ***Câ u 973*** not having a job at all. There is a need in all of us to feel

Walt Whitman, born in New York, in 1891, was one of America’s unusual literary figures. As an
individualist, he rambled through the countryside seeing people and places, and making them his
own. His experiences in earning a living were varied; at times he was a printer, a teacher, a
carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper editor. He was a big-hearted man, open and accepting. He
gave freely of his time by caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Though he lived in the
city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried
through to his poems. In 1855 he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one
thin volume, “Leaves of Grass”, a book which he revised and rewrote all the rest of his life. The
book was ridiculed by some poets and generally ignored by others, probably because his verse
forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order
to communicate his views. His reputation didn’t grow until after his death, and it reached a high
point in the 1920s. Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly influenced modern poets.

England’s highest main-line railway station hangs on to life by a thread: deserted and unmanned
since it was officially closed in 1970. Dent, situated high in the hills of Yorkshire wakes up on six
summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, sightseers and people
who simply want to catch a train from the highest station to its platforms.
But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end. Dent station is situated on the
Settel to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most scenic in the country. But no amount of scenic
beauty can save the line from the British Rail’s cash problems.
This year, for the sake of economy, the express train which used to pass through Dent station
have been put to another route.
It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains
disappeared some time ago. Bridge, built on a grand scale a century ago, is failing down. It is not
alone. Half a dozen railway routes in the North of England are facing a similar threat. The
problem is a worn out system and an almost total lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are
showing their ages. The wooden supports for the tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are
getting old.
On major lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and
cash can be found to maintain them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. As
track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead, speed limits are introduced, making the journey longer
than necessary and discouraging customers.
If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find
money from another source. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at
Bridling station was threatening to fall down. Repairs were estimated at 200,000 pounds just for
one bridge and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised when two local councils offered
half that amount between them.

Câu 1094. Since 1970 Dent station has been used.       

A. only by local people
B. only by hill walkers
C. only for a part of each year
D. only in some years

Câu 1095. Of all the railway routes in Britain the one which passes through Dent.

B. passes through the most attractive countryside
C. is the most expensive number of tourists
D. carries the greatest number of tourists

Câu 1096. The most urgent problem for many country railway lines is that.
A. rebuilding bridges
B. repairing stations
C. renewing coaches
D. repairing engines

Câu 1097. The people most affected by the difficulties facing the British Rail would appear to
be
A. holiday-makers
B. occasional and local travelers
C. organized and groups
D. businessmen

Câu 1098. In order to improve the financial situation of the country railway lines, British Rail
should
A. appeal to local councils
B. increase fares
C. reduce scale of maintenance
D. introduce speed limits

Our growing need for food, goods and energy has had many harmful effects on the environment.
Gases produced by cars, power stations and factories cause acid rain, which kills trees and
damages buildings. By using more environmentally – friendly forms of transport, we help reduce
this form of pollution.
A layer of carbon dioxide and other gases traps heat and keeps the earth at the right temperature.
This is called the greenhouse effect. By burning fossil fuels we are producing too much carbon
dioxide, which is causing temperatures to rise gradually. This global warming could lead to
dramatic changes in climate.
A layer of a gas called zone protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Certain
chemicals used in industry, such as CFCs, have caused a hole to develop in the ozone layer. The
increased levels of ultraviolet radiation damage plants and sea life, and increase the risk of skin
cancer.

Most of the energy we use to heat and light buildings, run machines, etc. is made by burning
fossil fuels. This will eventually run out, so we need to use more alternative sources of energy,
such as wind and solar power that are renewable and do not pollute the air. We should also avoid
wasting energy by using less electricity and water and insulating our houses.
We are destroying our forests, which produce oxygen and provide habitats for animals and birds.
Deforestation also allows rain to wash away the soil, making the land useless for growing things.
We pollute water by dumping waste from factories and houses, and by accidentally spilling
chemicals and oil. Chemical fertilizers damage rivers and lakes by causing a layer of tiny plants,
called algae, to cover the surface of the water. Organic farming does not harm the water supply.
Burying rubbish in landfills can let harmful chemicals leak through the ground into rivers, and it
uses a lot of land. Burning rubbish adds to global warming. By sorting out rubbish for recycling,
we can cut down on waste.

Agriculture is the world’s most important industry. It provides us with almost all our food. It also
supplies materials for two other basic human needs – clothing and shelter. In addition, agriculture
provides materials in making many industrial products, such as paints and medicines. About half
of the world’s workers are employed in agriculture – far more than in any other industry.
Agriculture is one of the world’s oldest industries. It began about 10,000 years ago in the Middle
East. By that time, certain Middle East tribes had discovered how to grow plants from seeds and
how to raise animals in captivity. Having mastered these skills, they could begin to practice
agriculture. Before the development of agriculture, people got all their food by gathering wild
plants, hunting and fishing. They had to search for food continually, which left them little time
for activities. But as agriculture develop the arts, crafts, trades and other activities of civilized
life. Agriculture, therefore, not only greatly affected the food supply but also made civilization

Computer programmer David Jones earns £ 35,000 a year by designing new computer games, yet
he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to /wait
another two years, until he is 18.
The 16-year- old boy works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young
people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases two new games for the expanding home
computer market each month.
But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned by
investing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit sharing, he
cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards.
He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His
company has to pay £ 150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every
day because David cannot drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool based company four months ago, a year after leaving school
with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people
who run the firm knew I had already written some programs”, he said. “I suppose £ 35,000
sounds a lot but actually that’s being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that this year”.
He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But, most
of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been
studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do
and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young,
anyway.”
David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You
never know when the market might disappear..

Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection .Loud noises
instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings
.In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning
brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the
same ways that we could respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and
our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and
psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only the ear and brain but also to the
heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal
health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be
victims of noise as well.

Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile accident nine years ago. He was also partially deaf
because of old age. Last week, he was strolling near his home when a thunderstorm approached.
He took refuge under a tree and was struck by lightning. He was knocked to the ground and woke
up some 20 minutes later lying face down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay
down in bed. A short time later, he awoke. His legs were numb and he was trembling, but, when
he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room fading in and out in front of him.
When his wife entered, he saw her for the first time in nine years. Doctors confirm that he has
163
regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of lightning, but they are unable to
explain the occurrence. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that, since

In his book “The Making of the President”, 1960, Theodore White made some insightful
observations about the television debates between Kennedy and Nixon .He contended that the
164
debates had to be analyzed within the context of the explosion in the field of the communications.
During the previous debate, Americans had purchased television sets at a phenomenal rate. By
the evening of the debate, 88 percent of all American families owned a television set, and a very
large percentage turned into the debate.
The format was really less like a debate than like a press conference. Each candidate was allowed
an opening statement of eight minutes, and then two and a half minutes to respond to each
question proposed by a panel. There was no provision for dialogue between the candidates. As
White observed, despite this format, Nixon proceeded as though he was in a personal debates
with Kennedy, trying to score points from the reporters on the panel. In contrast, Kennedy spoke
directly to the television viewers, concentrating on creating a dynamic and appealing image in
order to influence them.
Later Kennedy claimed that the debate were the single most important factor in the election. In
White’s view the debates did change the direction of the campaign. From research studies,
Including Gallup Poll, it appeared that Kennedy had gained at least 2 million votes as a result of
the televised programs. When you consider that Kennedy won by a little more than 100,000
votes, the debates had to have made the difference. It has been clear to candidates since then that
television debates are a very powerful tool
