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
For three decades, China operated the "one-child" policy of population control This was abandoned
in 2016 in favor of a two-child policy to boost the labor force But average fertility rates keep falling, even
as restrictions are lifted In 2016, after the one-child policy was abandoned, there were 17.86 million births This dropped to 17.2 million in 2017 and 15.2 million in 2018 – the third-lowest rate since the foundation
of the People's Republic of China in 1949
Much of China's astonishing economic growth of the past four decades has been fueled by a young
labor force, but this too is in rapid decline, while the elderly population is dramatically increasing In China
in 2017, the ratio was six workers in the 20-64 age bracket supporting one senior citizen at least 65 years old This will decline to 2.0 workers in 2039 and 1.6 in 2050 "No social security net, no family security
and a pension crisis — this will evolve into a humanitarian catastrophe As women live six to seven years
longer than men on average [and are usually a few years younger than their husbands], they will be the main victims of population control," said Yi
Clearly more needs to be done to encourage women to have more children But couples in developed societies have fewer kids, largely because of expensive education costs and pressure on household incomes
in the cities Average fertility rates in Taiwan and Hong Kong from 2001 to 2018 were 1.14 and 1.07 respectively "The best way to get more women to have more children is to make it easy and cheap for women to get good reliable childcare, and work," said George Magnus, a research associate at Oxford University's China Centre, and at SOAS
We live in a grey world For the first time last year, there were more people on Earth who were 65 and over than children under 5 Because of the sheer pace of aging, China appears doomed to get old before
it gets rich "Measured by the proportion of 65+ and the old age dependency ratio, China will age as much
in the next 22 years as most Western economies have done in the last 60-70 years — and at far lower levels
of income per head, and with a much less developed social security system," Magnus said By 2040, China's income per head could be anywhere between 20,000 USD (18,000 Euro) and 40,000 USD per head depending on what happens to the economy and growth
The key to easing the effects of a greying population in China is to raise the participation of older
workers and women in the workforce It also needs to look to immigration, currently at negligible levels in China And key to all of this is productivity "Higher productivity is the Holy Grail, but how to deliver it? Investment in new technologies should help," said Magnus

Nanotechnology is the creation and use of materials or devices at extremely small scales These materials or devices fall in the range of 1 to 100 nanometers (nm) One nm is equal to one-billionth of a meter (0.000000001 m), which is about 50,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair Scientists
Trang 7refer to the dimensional range of 1 to 100 nm as the nanoscale, and materials at this scale are called nanocrystals or nanomaterials
The nanoscale is unique because nothing solid can be made any smaller It is also unique because many of the mechanisms of the biological and physical world operate on length scales from 0.1 to 100 nm
At these dimensions materials exhibit different physical properties; thus scientists expect that many novel
effects at the nanoscale will be discovered and used for breakthrough technologies
number of important breakthroughs have already occurred in nanotechnology These developments are found in products used throughout the world Some examples are catalytic converters in automobiles that help remove air pollutants, devices in computers that read from and write to the hard disk, certain sunscreens and cosmetics that transparently block harmful radiation from the Sun, and special coatings for sports clothes and gear that help improve the gear and possibly enhance the athlete’s performance Still, many scientists, engineers, and technologists believe they have only scratched the surface of nanotechnology’s potential
Nanotechnology is in its infancy, and no one can predict with accuracy what will result from the full flowering of the field over the next several decades Many scientists believe it can be said with confidence, however, that nanotechnology will have a major impact on medicine and health care; energy production and conservation; environmental cleanup and protection; electronics, computers, and sensors; and world security and defense

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
Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually Although much of this tea
is consumed in Asian, European, and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share According
to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the U.S population on any given day Black tea or green tea – iced, spiced, or instant – tea drinking has spurred a billion-dollar business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout Asia
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia saneness, which grows tall and lush in tropical regions On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new buds called
flush appear, they are plucked off by hand Even in today's world of modern agricultural machinery, hand
harvesting continues to be the preferred method Ideally, only the top two leaves and a bud should be picked This new growth produces the highest quality tea
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18 to 20 hours During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp Next, depending on the type of tea being produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled conditions of heat and humidity For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green color, and the fermentation process is skipped Producing black teas requires fermentation during which the tea leaves begin to darken After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or black color
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage was discovered in
2737 B.C by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his drinking water
as it was boiling over a fire As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting liquid and
proclaimed the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing Though this account cannot be documented, it
Trang 9is thought that tea drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia, then to Europe, and ultimately to America colonies around 1650
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but not
necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and therefore

Sadly, it's not quite that simple Counterfeit goods are a serious problem for the big brand name manufacturers "Although none of the big companies would admit how much they are losing, it clearly runs into millions of pound every year, " says John Anderson, executive secretary of the Anti-Counterfeiting Group, a body that represents around 200 major brands in the UK
“You can buy a bag of fake Lacoste crocodiles in a market in some foreign country and just sew them on
to a bunch of cheap T-shirts.” Anderson says, “The products are often very poor quality, and you have no right to return those kinds of goods to the shop afterwards if they run to the wash or something”
Although few people are likely to feel sorry for brand name manufacturers, the problem goes deeper than that “A fake T-shirt is not going to kill you, but you could die if the profits from that shirt go into making fake pharmaceuticals We have evidence that there is money – laundering going on and a lot of the profits often go back into drug-dealing” says Anderson
The Anti-Counterfeiting Group is convinced that most fake products are directly linked to organized crime and terrorism and there is strong anecdotal evidence to support this claim
Trading of goods often works like this The counterfeit traders operate from small portable crates, mostly selling fake perfumes and T-shirts Three or four of them work a patch and the cash is held by a money man who watches over his team
The money man hands out cash to his stooges, often women, who gather round traders pretending to feverishly buy the fake goods The stooge’s job is to whip up interest from the public
Each time the trader runs out of goods he gets more from a van parked out of sight nearby At the first sign
of trouble, the traders whip away their crates and disappear Policing the counterfeit is not easy
So while the cunning counterfeiters continue to escape the law, black-market shoppers will still be able to look like a million dollars on the cheap But at what cost to the rest of us?
