FOOD AROUND THE WORLD

It isn't amazing how much time we spend talking about food? "Have you ever eaten ...?", "What do you have for
lunch?" and so on. And yet, when you travel from one county to another, you find that people have quite different
feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and what other people eat is strange and silly.
In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day.

In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating becomes a habit which is difficult to change.

in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but never eat goat meat.

Li-Fi Technology
Li-Fi technology is a new technology that transmits signals as light instead of radio waves. In urban areas where
Wi-Fi networks become congested and there is a lot of noise in the signals, this technology is something that can
be of immense use to an individual. The basic requirement of this technology is the available of light!
 BỘ ĐỀ KIỂM TRA HỌC KỲ 1 – TIẾNG ANH 10
ĐỀ SỐ 3

Light is also an electromagnetic wave like radio waves. The only difference is that the former has the
ability to transmit data almost ten thousand times faster than latter! The basic process is quite simple to
understand. An LED light bulb, any one at all, can be flicked on and off in order to be able to generate signals. A
light sensor on a device picks up the digital information sent by the LED, which enables it to be processed by a
computer.

The question is whether anyone wants to go through the annoying experience of sitting under a flickering
light bulb. This is the interesting part. The technology is focusing on make sure that the light bulb is flickered up
to billions of times a second! At that rate, the human eye simply cannot notice the light bulb being flicked on and
off.

However, everything comes with a disadvantage. The major disadvantage here is the fact that these
signals cannot penetrate walls. So if you want to move from one room to another, you will need to have a wired
bulb present in that room as well.
An Estonian startup company called Velmenni took the technology out of the laboratories and brought it
into the real-world offices, and industrial environments in Tallinn for the first time.

Overall, this sounds like quite a development in the field of communication technology.

Question 31. Li-Fi is similar to the Wi- Fi except that it uses light waves instead of radio waves. T
Question 32. The speed generated by Li-Fi can be up to ten thousand times greater than the average Wi-Fi T

building.

Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.

High school students from Southeast Asia protect the environment with inventions that challenge the present
situation. They presented their research at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. (ISEF)

The team of Thailand presented its research on using Fish scales to create plastic were items such as bowls and
plates, with no trace of fish odour in 2011. The team also found out that the material completely breaks down in
about 28 days when buried in soil, and does not harm creatures that live in the dirt. In comparison, conventional
plastic products release toxins during the manufacturing process and during disposal.

The Vietnamese team proposed using solar energy and vacuum techniques to power the desalination process in
2012. Conventional desalination methods are expensive affairs as they tend to consume vast amounts of electricity
and fuel. In contrast, solar energy is an inexhaustible and renewable energy source.

The Indonesian team built a “ Green Refrigerant Box” in 2014 that, instead of running on electricity, used a hand-
operated vacuum pump made from plastic soft drink bottle. The idea was formed because the students’ hometown
in rural South Sumatra frequently experiences power cuts, constantly shutting down electrical appliance.

Bio-waste materials such as mangosteen skin can be used as a substance to dye cotton fabric, together with onion
skin extract. The project of Malaysian students in 2014 not only replaced the usage of hazardous chemical dye
with bio-waste material, but also helped recycle bio-waste itself.

Answer the questions about the passage.

Question 26. What did the team from Thailand use fish scales for?
