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. But 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. But they are being destroyed by
the massive volumes of industrial wastes which pour into the lake every day. Even where
law existed, the government did 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.

THE ASIAN GAMES

The Asian Games, also called the Asiad, is a multi-sport event held every four years
among athletes from all over Asia. The Games are regulated by the Olympic Council of
Asia (OCA) under the supervision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Medals
are awarded in each event, with gold for first place, silver for second and bronze for third, a
tradition which started in 1951. The Asian Games are dominated by the People's Republic
of China.

part in. The special case of Taiwan was handled by having it compete as Chinese Taipei,

problem is that we the public have to observe the rules. For example, we must put a stamp
on a letter. If we don’t, the receiver will have to pay double. We often see the sign ALL
LETTERS MUST BE CORRECTLY ADDRESSED. These days, this means having to
use postcodes. If you didn’t use a postcode, it’s no good complaining that your letter should
have arrived sooner. Parcels are a problem because they must be correctly packaged. If Aunt
Sophie is going to send you a jar of your favourite jam, she will have to wrap it up well. The
most important thing we have to do is to address our letters and parcels clearly and
correctly. This means clear handwriting and correct spelling. What we should do and what
we actually do often miles apart. Recently, the Post Office had to deliver a letter which
showed a name followed by the word Arijaba. What is this, do you think? Say it out loud
and you’ll see it’s just plain English: HARWICH HARBOUR!

The natural environment includes all natural resources that are necessary for life: the air,
the oceans, the sun and the land. Because they are vital for life, these resources must be
protected from pollution and conserved. Ecologists study their importance and how to use
them carefully.

According to ecologists, resources are divided into two groups: renewable and non-
renewable. When a resource is used, it takes some time to replace it. If the resource can be
replaced quickly, it is called renewable. If it can not be replaced quickly and easily, it is
nonrenewable. For example grass for animals is a renewable resource. When cows eat the
grass , the resource is used. If the soil is fertilized and protected, more grass will grow.
Coal, however, is nonrenewable because it takes millions of years to make coal. All fossil
fuels are nonrenewable resources.

Solar energy, air and water are renewable resources because there is unlimited supply.
However, this definition may change, if people are not careful with these resources. The
amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends on the atmosphere . If the atmosphere
is polluted, the solar energy that reaches the earth may be dangerous. If life is going to
continue, the air must contain the correct amount of nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), Carbon
dioxide (CO2), and other gases. If humans continue to pollute the air, it will not contain the
correct amounts of these gases.

Câu 36: Ecology is the study of .

A. human beings and animals B. the environment and solar energy

C. human beings and their environment. D. natural and alternative resources

Câu 37: The natural environment consists of .

A. the air and the oceans B. all natural resources

C. the oceans and the land D. the sun and the air

Câu 38: If the resource can be , it is called renewable.

A. burnt quickly B. used easily C. divided properly D. replaced quickly

Câu 39: Grass for animals is a resource.

A. clean B. nonrenewable C. renewable D. limited

Câu 40: According to the passage, coal is nonrenewable because it takes to make
it.

The system of higher education had its origin in Europe in the Middle Ages, when
the first universities were established. In modern times, the nature of higher education
around the world, to some extent, has been determined by the models of influential
countries such as France and Germany.
Both France and Germany have systems of higher education that are basically
administered by state agencies. Entrance requirements for students are also similar in both
countries. In France, an examination called the baccalauréat is given at the end of
secondary education. Higher education in France is free and open to all students who have
passed this baccalauréat. Success in this examination allows students to continue their
higher education for another three or four years until they have attained the first university
degree called a licence in France.
 Basic differences, however, distinguish these two countries' systems. French
educational districts, called académies, are under the direction of a rector, an appointee of
the national government who is also in charge of universities in each district. The
uniformity in curriculum throughout the country leaves each university with little to
distinguish itself. Hence, many students prefer to go to Paris, where there are better
accommodations and more cultural amenities for them. Another difference is the existence
in France of prestigious higher educational institutions known as grandes écoles, which
provide advanced professional and technical training. Most of these schools are not
affiliated with the universities, although they too recruit their students by giving
competitive examinations to candidates. The grandes écoles provide rigorous training in all
branches of applied science and technology, and their diplomas have a somewhat higher
standing than the ordinary licence.
In Germany, the regional universities have autonomy in determining their curriculum
under the direction of rectors elected from within. Students in Germany change universities
according to their interests and the strengths of each university. In fact, it is a custom for
students to attend two, three, or even four different universities in the course of their
undergraduate studies, and the majority of professors at a particular university may have
taught in four or five others. This high degree mobility means that schemes of study and
examination are marked by a freedom and individuality unknown in France.
France and Germany have greatly influenced higher education systems 20cd the
world. The French, either through colonial influence or the work of missionaries, introduced
many aspects of their system in other countries. The German the first to stress the
importance of universities as research facilities, and they also created a sense of them as
emblems of a national mind.
