READING COMPREHENSION 1
Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know much about them.
For example, there are about 350 species of sharks that live in oceans over the
world. All of the sharks are carnivores (đv ăn thịt), but most of them don't
attack people. Some sharks are very small - the smallest shark is about 6 inches
long - about as long as your hand but some sharks are very large. The largest
species of sharks may be 60 feet long and weigh 15 tons. Unlike many other kinds
of fish, sharks do not have bone. Their bodies are made up of a kind of tough
white flexible material (called cartilage). Sharks do not have ears, however, they
'hear’ sounds and movements in the wade. Any sound or movement makes the
water vibrates. Sharks can feel these vibrations. and they help the sharks find
food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food, too. Most sharks see best in low
light. They often hunt for food at dawn ,in the evening, or in the middle of the
night.

READING COMPREHENSION 2
Are you tired of traffic jams and overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the
crowds and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills.
These rugged mountains in New York State are famous for the summer hotels that
sprang up in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to
escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to
stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s, there were over 500
resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor
activities. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel,
however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers,
choosing instead more distant locations at different time of the year. Many of the
Catskill hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and
changed their facilities to meet the needs of today's visitors.
Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the
changing colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors
can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of
scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting
bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of
Public information.

T/F STATEMENTS
GOING GREEN
In Britain today, more 18-24-year-olds vote in TV shows like Pop Idol than in
general elections. All political parties are trying to encourage more young people
to get involved in politics. This means talking about the issues that are important
to them.
The first political party to make the environment an important issue was The
Green Party. The party has existed in the UK for about 30 years. (For the first ten
years, it was called the Ecology Party.) The Greens do not have any seats in the
House of Common because in general elections most people vote for the three
main parties: Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. However,
they have several MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) and many local
councilors across Britain. They campaign on many issues, including:Animal
rights: they want to ban scientific experiments on animals and improve conditions
for animals on farms.
Transport: they want to reduce the amount of traffic and pollution by making
buses and trains cheaper, and by encouraging people to walk and cycle more.
Green energy: they want to invest in clean, renewable sources of energy.
Food and farming: they are against GM (genetically modified) food and the use of
chemicals in farming.
