Bài 2: Đọc các bài đọc dưới đây và trả lời các câu hỏi kèm theo: I. WATER Water is necessary for sustaining life in plants and animals. Men have always been interested in the nature of water. At one time, water was considered an element. Most water is derived from ocean directly or indirectly. Water which New Yorkers use does not come from Hudson River. Water used in New York homes comes from large reservoirs. Water in these reservoirs is purified. However, absolutely pure water is probably unknown. Lake water is relatively pure, especially in the mountainous regions. Most people think spring water is pure. However, water which comes from spring sometimes contains large amounts of two types of salt. Therefore, water in your springs should be analyzed. 1. What is the importance of water?  It is necessary for sustaining life in plants and animals 2. How is water which New Yorkers use?  It is purified in large reservoirs 3. Is there absolutely pure water in the world?  Probably not 4. What should people do to spring water?  It should be analyzed. II. Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language. Human beings have been writing ( as far as we can tell from surviving evidence ) for at least 5,000 years, but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings. When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write: any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk; a normal human being can not be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write: in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly. To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to say that the latter is of little importance. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and make possible the records that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human writing makes us civilized. Questions : 1. What is more real than speech ?  Writing. 2. How long have human beings had speech ?  Since there were human beings. 3. Do all spoken languages in the world have their written forms ?  No. 4. Can a normal human being learn to write without trying ?  No. III. One year Miss Wyatt decided to have a holiday in Italy. She did not speak much Italian, but wherever she went, she was fortune enough to find people who knew enough English to be able to understand what she wanted, until one day she decided to have lunch in a charming little restaurant in a village in the south of Italy. She had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another village nearby and thought they would taste very good, so when the waiter came to take her order, she inquired whether she could have some mushrooms for her meal, but she had great difficulty in explaining to him 7 because she did not know the Italian word for mushrooms. At last she took out a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom. The waiter’s face brightened at once, and he hastened out to the kitchen. A minute later he returned, carrying an umbrella. Questions : 1. Why did Miss Wyatt’s poor knowledge of Italian not interfere with her enjoyment of her holiday most of the time ?  Because (wherever she went,) she was lucky enough to find people who knew enough English to be able to understand what she wanted. 2.

Bài 2: Đọc các bài đọc dưới đây và trả lời các câu hỏi kèm theo: I. Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other things from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small. One day when Louis was three years old, he was cutting some leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye. Louis soon became completely blind. 9 When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the Blind in Paris. One day his class went to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis. It showed messages in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no one else can read them. The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper. Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so blind people could “read” with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis used a “cell” of six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down. There are 63 possible arrangements of the dots in the Braille system. Each arrangement stands for one letter, punctuation mark, or number. He also used his system to write music. Louis Braille invented this system when he was only fifteen years old. Blind people can also write Braille. They use a special kind of pen to make the dots. Questions : 1. What was Louis Braille’s place of birth?  Louis Braille was born in France 2. How did he become blind?  He became blind by the fact that One day when Louis was three years old, he was cutting some leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye. Louis soon became completely blind. 3. What gave him the idea for the Braille system?  The messages in secret codes used in the army gave him the idea for the braille system. 4. How old was he when he invented the Braille system?  Louis Braille invented this system when he was only fifteen years old. 5. Are there raised letters in the Braille system?  No, there aren’t. II. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT Scientists say that something very serious is happening to the Earth. It will begin to get warmer in the 1990s. There will be major changes in climate during the next century. Coastal waters will have a higher temperature. This will have a serious effect on agriculture. In northern areas, the growing season will be ten days longer by the year 2000. However, in warmer areas, it will be too dry. The amount of water could decrease by fifty percent. This would cause a large decrease in agricultural production. World temperatures could increase two degrees centigrade by the year 2040. However, the increase could be three times as great in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. This would cause the ice sheets to melt and raise the level of the oceans by one or two metres. Many coastal cities would be under water. Why is this happening ? There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the air. When oil, gas, and coal burn, they create large amounts of carbon dioxide. We send five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. This amount will double in fifty years. This carbon dioxide lets sunlights enter the earth’s atmosphere and heat the earth. However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space. It is like a blanket. The heat can pass from the sun through the blanket to warm the earth. The heat stays there and can not escape through the blanket again. Scientists call this greenhouse effect. A greenhouse is a building for growing plants. It is made of glass or clear plastic. QUESTIONS 1. What is a greenhouse ?  A greenhouse with is made of glass or clear plastic 2. What causes the greenhouse effect ?  There is too much carbon dioxide in the air 3. Why do scientists call this the greenhouse effect ?  Scientists call this the greenhouse effect because there is too much carbon dioxide(CO2) in the air. This carbon dioxide lets sunlights enter the earth’s atmosphere and heat the earth. However, it dose not let sa much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space. It is like a blanket. The heat can pass from the sun through the blanket to warm the earth. The heat stays there and can not escape through the blanket again. 4. What changes will this effect make in the earth’s climate ?  This effect will make a lot of major changes in the Earth’s climate such as higher temperature in coastal waters, seriours effect on agriculture, dry area, decreasing amount of water and decreasing in agricultural. 5. What would the temperature in the Arctic and Antarctic regions be in the year 2040 ?  The temperature wuold in the Arctic and Antarctic regions would be three times in the year 2040.
