Bài 9: Đọc đoạn văn dưới đây và trả lời câu hỏi

East Somalia’s prolonged the shortage of rain, which has already caused food supply to failand brought unemployment in farming areas, could also affect the production of electricity, and thus reduce the output from the nation’s mines The mining industry, and especially copper mining, uses a huge amount of electricity and is almost completely dependent on the government Electricity Supply

Commission But the Commission has recently asked the mines what would happen if electricity supplies were reduced by ten, twenty or thirty percent

The Commission’s power stations which reduce the electricity using coal as fuel, are mostly situated near the large coalfields of Eastern Province But this area has little water so the cooling towers at the power stations have to be supplied with water from elsewhere The problem now is that water levels in all rivers and lakes have fallen dangerously low and, in some cases, are well below the intake pipes which feed into the pipelines which supply the cooling towers

In a separate attempt to solve the problem, engineers are spending some forty million dollars on building a series of small dams across the Haro river It is hoped that these dams will make the water level at the Malawa Dam rise so that water can then be pumped through a new pipeline to the power stations

This will take time and it is now the dry season Very little rain falls before October or

November, and after a shortage which has lasted for four years and is believed to be the worst in two centuries, nobody can say whether the rain will be sufficient

The amount of electricity and water used by the mines has tended to increase in recent years The mines which produce about half the country’s export earnings, need electricity in order to pump fresh air through their workings and to drive machines which crush vast quantities of rock Each mine also has to provide accommodation for as many as three thousands workers

1 How might East Somalia’s lack of rain affect electricity supplies and mining? A Copper mines are having to use less electricity

B Coal supplies are failing to reach power stations

C Electricity supplies to mines may be cut by up to thirty percent D Copper mines may be unable to pump water by October

2 Where does Electricity Supply Commission produce most of its electricity? A Along the Haro River B Near the copper mines

3 The action that the engineers are taking

A may not help if the rain is sufficient B will become effective towards the end of the year C should get enough water to the mines D will use up a lot of electricity

4 The engineers aim to

A change the direction of the Haro river B keep more water at the Malawa Dam C get more water into the Haro river D dig out artificial lakes near the dam

5 Why are the copper mines important to East Somlia? A They train many skilled mechanics

B Each mine employs approximately 3,000 people C Their costs and production are rising

D They bring in fifty percent of what the country earns

people around the world speaking English as a first language and more than 430 million speaking it as a second language, there are English speakers in most countries around the world Why is English so popular, though? And why has it become a global language?

People often call English the international language of business, and it’s increasingly true as

international trade expands every year, bringing new countries into contact Most multinational companies

require a certain degree of English proficiency from potential employees so in order to get a position with a

top company, more and more people are learning English

If your ambitions lie in science or medicine, you can’t neglect English either Much of the technical terminology is based on English words, and if you want to learn about the latest developments and

discoveries from around the world, you’ll read about them in journals and research reports published in English, no matter whether the scientists who wrote them are from China or Norway

If you want a career in travel, English is absolutely essential As the international language of aviation,

pilots and cabin crew all need to speak English Even if you’re not up in the air, speaking English accurately will ensure you are able to communicate with clients and suppliers all over the world

So, what’s stopping you from learning this global language? With all the English resources available on the internet and so many other English speakers around the world to practice with, there’s never been a better time to start learning English Pick up a book, learn a few words, or even start a course today and

take your first steps towards becoming one of nearly 800 million English speakers in the world
