Kể từ chuyến đi đến Nha Trang, lần đầu tiên tôi đến Nha Trang, thành phố ven biển, là ba năm trước. Đó là một chuyến đi thú vị và đáng nhớ. Nha Trang, thủ phủ của tỉnh Khánh Hòa, có một trong những bãi biển thành phố nổi tiếng nhất tại Việt Nam. Ở Nha Trang, vẻ đẹp thiên nhiên thật hấp dẫn. Sóng vỗ vào vách đá; tiếng thở dài nhẹ nhàng của làn gió biển; bãi cát trắng sạch và làn nước ngọc lam; tất cả tạo nên một cảnh quan tuyệt đẹp. Khi đến Nha Trang, tôi thường dậy sớm mỗi sáng để đi dạo dọc bãi biển, hít thở không khí biển trong lành và ngắm bình minh trên mặt nước. Một điểm thu hút đã quyến rũ tôi ba năm trước và vẫn vậy là quần thể các đảo nhỏ ngoài khơi. Hòn Tre là hòn đảo lớn nhất và Đảo Khỉ, đúng như tên gọi, là nơi sinh sống của hàng trăm chú khỉ hoang dã. Đảo Yến nổi tiếng với tổ chim yến. Nha Trang là thành phố của tiền: thời tiết đẹp, vị trí thuận lợi và người dân thân thiện mang lại cho nơi đây sự cân bằng nhất định. Nha Trang là một điểm đến nghỉ dưỡng tuyệt vời. Tôi hy vọng sẽ có cơ hội quay lại.

At home, I used to suffer enough with my husband who is a heavy smoker. Now, I am delighted that smoking is going to be banned in the majority of enclosed public spaces in Britain from July this year. In fact, I cannot wait for the ban to arrive. When hanging out, I am fed up with sitting in pubs with my eyes and throat hurting because of all the tobacco smoke in the air. As soon as I leave the pub I always find that my clothes and hair stink of cigarettes, so the first thing I do when I get home is to have a shower.

It is not my problem if smokers want to destroy their own health, but I hate it when they start polluting my lungs as well. Passive smoking is a real problem, as a lot of medical studies have shown that non-smokers who spend a long time in smoky environments have an increased risk of heart disease and lung cancer.

It is ridiculous when you hear smokers talking about the ban taking away their ‘rights’. If they are in a pub and they feel the need for a cigarette, obviously they will still be able to go outside in the street and have one. What is wrong with that? It will certainly be a bit inconvenient for them, but maybe that will help them to quit.

In paragraph 3, What does the worl one refer to?

Aneed

B pub

C cigarette

Dstreet

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated with tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.

An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet’s dominants, most-distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize that landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth’s surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.

The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world’s rain forests does not seem surprising, considering the huge number of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably the sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some representation there .To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water contains life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacterial cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.

Question: The passage suggests that most rain forest species are ______.

A. birds

B. bacteria

C. mammals

D. insects

Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO)

VSO is a registered charity dedicated to assisting in developing countries. It is a recruitment agency which finds, selects and places volunteers in response to overseas requests.

This work makes it distinctive among other charities and organizations in the UK. It sends people, not money, so it tries to respond to requests from overseas which ask for volunteers. Its purpose is toward the poorest members of the community. Both staff and volunteers also pay special attention to women’s roles in development projects. This is because women’s roles in child–rearing, in education and community relationship are essential in any healthy process of change.

Over the past 38 years, more than 21.000 volunteers have worked abroad with VSO. There are now over 1,900 volunteers working in 59 of the less developed countries in Africa Asia, the Pacific and the Caribbean.

The application of each volunteer is carefully considered in order to select and interview candidates against each job request from the field, to look for the person with the right blend of skills and personality.

VSO volunteers do not go to developing countries as visiting experts with all the answers. It is always a process of sharing and learning. The aim is that when the volunteer returns home, there exists a community with a stronger sense of independence, and a volunteer with a new understanding of life and people everywhere. The range of jobs required of VSO is wide, reflecting the needs of any society in the modern world.

The volunteer chosen to go out to a developing country____.

Amust have experience of working overseas

Bwill quickly become an expert in the field

Cwill gain more knowledge about the world we live in
