One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having
clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have
made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools
of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of
animals and plants, including 1, 300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they
are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day.
Even though laws have been made, the government does not have the power to enforce them. Most
industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water
surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw
industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was
limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now
scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

A. The shortage of clean water. B. Environmental problems in the world today.
C. Industrial pollution. D. Population explosion.
2. What is the serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia?

Because of 1, 000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated a formal
education system in Vietnam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders and declared
Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh, did not last so long, and were busy
with the national defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, the founder king of the Ly
dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly Thanh Tong
established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage people to
appreciate the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Tong to select
scholars for the office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Vietnam’s
history, was set up for the education of sons of royalty and other high-ranking officials.
There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy Don,
Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan, .... The students would only study literature
and ancient history of China, and Vietnam for entirety of their schooling. Later on, the Public
Administration curriculum was finally added to the programme. When the Ho Royal family ruled the
country, students were taught simple mathematics.
From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam’s education programme adopted the western education system with three
levels:elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese national language is
officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history, philosophy, law, science, math,
medicine and other languages.

Road rage is aggressive or angry behavior of a driver in a road vehicle. Road rage includes rude gestures,
verbal insults, physical threats or even dangerous driving methods. Those behaviors intend to release

of road rage, one of them is traffic jam. With the increased number of private vehicles in the streets,
congestion is getting worse and worse. People are easy to get angry if they are stuck in the traffic jam, so
road rage is more likely to happen. People are recommended to calm themselves in the traffic jam by
listening to radio or music, so they can prevent road rage.
