This text is for question 18-21
I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that
these phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for
emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance,
if you fall down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone,
it is handy to have one to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a
strange neighborhood, it would be dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.
My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For
example, if you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do
some important work, it is useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important
information can be received. People can’t stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to
ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or they will go out of business. You can even send
faxes or messages and use the internet with your mobile.
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of
everyday life. Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a
simple press of a button. Whether this is to do with business or personal information or
emergencies, it goes to show that they are necessary in the new millennium

18. How many reasons are used to support the writer’s opinion?
a. One reason
b. Two reasons
c. Three reasons
d. Four reasons
e. Five reasons
19. Why are mobile phones very convenient for business people?
a. They can contact clients
b. They can do some important works
c. They can receive some important information
d. They can send some data and surf Internet
e. They can run business by staying in and out office
20. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
a. The advantages cellular phones during the emergencies
b. The solution to do when your car breaks down
c. The danger to leave a mobile phone in the car
d. The differences of a mobile phone and a pay phone
e. The necessary equipments among neighbors

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be


thrown away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to
plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in
new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less
energy than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the
demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during
the manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and
office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling,
old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum
foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in
a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove
smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper
fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as
boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month.
Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton
of recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

27. The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT....


a. precious metals
b. broken glass
c. old newspapers
d. plastic spoons
e. fresh vegetables and fruits
28. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of recycling?
a. It costs much money for the process of recycling
b. It costs less to make new products.
c. It requires less energy.
d. It can reduce pollution.

29. What is the third step of recycling paper products?
a. Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil.
b. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp.
c. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants.
d. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres.
e. Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again.
30. We can make use of the ink after being separated from the paper fibres by doing the followings,
EXCEPT....
