2. A handful of countries produce a portion of their electricity using nuclear energy.
However many people oppose nuclear energy because an accident can cause massive
devastation. The 1966 accident at the chemobyl’s nuclear power plant in the Ukraine
scattered radioactive contamination over a large part of Europe. Approximately 200,000
people were evacuated, and human health has been dramatically affected. Studies in
1999 found that the rate of thyroid cancer in young Ukraine children was ten times
higher than was the norm prior to the accident.
One reasonable solution combines conservation strategies with the increased use of
solar energy. The price of solar energy has steadily dropped, and if environmental
concerns were factored into the cost, solar power would already be significantly cheaper
than traditional fuels.
According to the text, solar can be considered very cheap if ....
A. No other alternative source available
B. Traditional energy becomes scarce
C. Environmental concerns count
D. People are more economical

4. Sangduen Challert has elephants on her mind. She works tirelessly to keep the elephant
population in Thailand from Dwindling to drastic levels. “Thai elephants are under
serious threat. Unless they are promptly and appropriately protected, they might only
exist in books and photos in the near future” says Sangduen.
Sangduen was bom into a remote mountain community in northem Thailand 47
years ago. Her love of the pachyderm began when she was very young. She was just a
 teenager when she first saw elephants being used for commercial logging along the thai-
Burmese border. The experience changed her life.
In 1996, sangduen together with her family, founded the Elephant Nature Park in
Chiang Mai. Today, the park is supported by Sangduen’s family tour business which
runs educational and environment trips as well as a travel website. The main objective of
the park is to provide a sanctuary for elephants to live peacefully in their natural
environment. Thity rescued elephants of all ages are currently under the park’s care. The
disabled, orphan or blind elephants are mostly rescued from private owners, and fees are
negotiated to enable them to join the park’s herd.
Sangduen’s latest project is to remove elephants from urban cities and bring them
back to the natural environment. At present, thousands of elephants wander around big
cities like Bangkok with mahouts (elephant caretaker) seeking donations from tourist or
the public.
Sangduen also plans to open an elephant center in Surin. Thailand’s northeastern
province considered to be the primary home of indigenous elephants. The new sanctuary
will serve as another alternative for mahouts to bring their elephants back home to
nature.
“The Reader’s Digest recognition is a great honor for me. It shows that society cares
about the survival of the elephants,” she adds.
The most appropriate title of the above text is ….
A. An elephantine mission
B. Sanduen’s Awsome Enterprise
C. Safeguarding Elephants in Thailand
D. An Altenative Project of Saving the Pachyderm

About two centuries ago, humans enjoyed their first air bone ride in a cloth
balloon. Passenger rode in a basket fastened below the balloon. It was not easy for these
brave adventures because they depended solely on the wind velocity and direction to
move them about.
Germany began producing and using airships about forty-six years later with its
famous Zeppelins. The largest and probably most famous of Germany’s airships was the
Hindenberg, which could travel at eight-five miles per hour.
Later, Great Britain and France built smaller airships called ‘blimps’. The latter
airships were intended for patrolling the coast and observing submarine activity, while
the former served as passenger and cargo ships.

Why was it difficult to fly in the air-filled balloons?

The world’s nuclear plants have accumulated highly radioactive waste. Worldwide, high-
level waste is stored about ground, and no government has a clear policy on its eventual
disposal. While most experts believe that burying the waste is the safest bet in the long
term, the problem is finding sites that are geologically stable. Decaying radioactive
isotopes release heat. As a result, high-level waste must be constantly cooled. This is
many experts want to store waste above ground until it has decayed and is cool enough to
be stored safely in sealed repositories several hundreds of meters below ground.
It is clear from the passage that the safe disposal of radioactive waste....
A. Remains a global problem
B. Is a widely – controlled problem
C. Becomes an individual problem
D. Has been satisfactorily

By the time a child is six or seven she has all the essential avoidances well enough
by heart to be trusted with the care of a younger child. And she also develops a number
of simple techniques. She learns to weave firm square balls from palm leaves, to make
pinwheels of palm leaves, to climb a coconut tree by walking up the trunk on flexible
little feet, to break open a coconut with one firm well-directed blow of a knife, to play a
number of group games and sing the song, to tidy the house by picking up the litter on
the story floor, to go to neighboring house and bring back a lighted faggot for the cook-
house fire. But in the case of the little girls all these tasks are merely supplementary to
the main business of baby-tending. Very small boys also have some care of the younger
children, but at eight or nine years of age they are usually relieved of it. Whatever rough
edges have not been smoothed off by this responsibility for younger children are worm
off by their contact with older boys.
Little boys are admitted to interesting and important activities only so long as long
as their behavior is circumspect and helpful. Where small girls are brusquely pushed
aside, small boys will be patiently tolerated and they become adept at making themselves
useful. The four or five little boys who all wish to assist at the business of helping a
grown youth lasso reel eels, organize themselves into a highly efficient working team;
one boy holds the bait, another holds an extra lasso, others poke eagerly about in holes in
the reef looking for prey, while still another tucks the captured eels into his lavalava. The
small girls, burdened with heavy babies or the care of little staggerers who are too small
to adventure on the reef, discouraged by the hostility of the small boys and the scorn of
the older ones, have little opportunity for learning the more adventurous forms of work
and play. So while the little boys first undergo the chastening effects of baby-tending and
 then have many opportunities to learn effective cooperation under the supervision of
older boys, the girls’ education is less comprehensive. They have a high standard of
individual responsibility, but the community provides them with no lessons in
cooperation with one another. This is particularly apparent in the activities of young
people: the boys organize quickly; the girl’s waste hours in bickering, innocent of any
technique for quick and efficient cooperation.
The word brusquely in the text most nearly means….
A. quickly

In the 1920s, Josephine Dickson, an accident-prone New Jersey housewife, inspired the
invention of the Band-Aid. Her husband, Earle, who tended her various burns and
wounds, hit upon the idea of sticking small squares of sterile gauze onto adhesive tape,
covering it with a layer of crinoline, and then rolling bit up so that Josephine could out
off and apply the ready-made bandages herself.
Earle’s employer, Johnson & Johnson, soon began producing the first Band-Aids. By the

Erosion is regarded as the physical removal of soil by water and wind and the
deterrioration of all parts of the habitat in which man and his crop and livestock have to
exist. Since there is no conclusive evidence to any major climate change to explain this
deterioration, we must conclude that erosion has been due primarily to thoughtless
destruction of the vegetative cover. This has led to deterioration of the microclimate
above and below the surface, generally in the direction of a general drying out of the soil,
and to the loss of organic matter in the soil, and to the loss of organic matter in the soil
thus reducing its capacity to resist erosion by conserving the water that falls on the
surface. If everything possible is done to conserve the vegetation, this will also ensure
optimal conservation of soil and water.

Nickle can trigger eczema like rash
Some mobile phone contain nickel a metal that can cause allergic dermatitis- an itchy
rash – on one side of the face and in the ear in 10- 20% of the population .
“Woman are more likely than man to have allergy, probably because they were
sensitized when they had their ear pierced, which can introduce nickel into the
bloodstream, “says Luz Fonaice head of the allergy section of Winthrop_ University
Hospital in New York.
A study of popular models of mobile phones found that most flip phones and
approximately a third of the blackberry devices tested contained nickel. In some of these,
the plastic had worm of the keypads, the Iphone and Motorola models tested-which were
all touch-screens and had no keypads-contained no nickel at all
If you suspect you are allergic to your Iphone, you can protect your skin by setting
your phone to speakerphone using an earpiece, or putting a phone cover and clear screen
your device.
The expression they had their ears pierced in the second paragraph most nearly means….
A. Sound were heard in their ears
B. Holes were made in their ears
