Scientists claim that air pollution causes a decline in the world’s average air temperature. In order to prove that theory, ecologists have turned to historical data in relation to especially huge volcanic eruptions. They suspect that volcanoes effect weather changes that are similar to air pollution. One source of information is the effect of the eruption of Tambora, a volcano in Sumbawa, the Dutch East Indies, in April 1815, the largest recorded volcanic eruption; Tambora threw 150 million tons of fine ash into the stratosphere. The ash from a volcano spread worldwide in a few days and remains in the air for years. Its effect is to turn incoming solar radiation into space and thus cool the earth. For example, records of weather in England show that between April and November 1815, the average temperature had fallen 4.5 o F. During the next twenty – four months, England suffered one of the coldest periods of its history. Farmers’ records from April 1815 to December 1818 indicate frost through out the spring and summer and sharp decrease in crop and livestock markets. Since there was a time lag of several years between cause and effect, by the time the world agriculture commodity community had deteriorated, no one realized the cause. Ecologists today warn that we face a twofold menace. The ever-present possibility of volcanic eruptions, such as that of Mt. St. Helens in Washington, added to man’s pollution of the atmosphere with oil, gas, coal and other polluting substances, may bring us increasingly colder weather. 31) It is believed that the earth get colder when ____________. A. volcanoes erupt B. the air is polluted by modern man C. the rays of the sun are turned into space. D. all of the above 32) The effects of Tambora’s eruption were ____________. A. felt mainly in the Dutch East Indies B. of several days’duration worldwide. C. evidence of pollution’s cooling the earth. D. immediately evident to the world’s scientist. 33) The cause of cold weather in England from 1815 to 1818 was ______________. A. decreased crop and livestock production B. volcanic ash in the atmosphere C. pollution caused by the Industrial Revolution D. its proximity to the North Sea 34) No one realize the cause of the deterioration of the world agricultural commodity market because A. there was a long delay between cause and effect B. the weather is beyond our comprehension C. weather forecasts were inaccurate D. ecologists didn’t exist until modern times. 35) If, as some scientist predict, the world ends in ice, what might be the cause? A. modern man’s pollution of the air B. volcanic eruptions C. obliteration of solar radiation D. all of the above. TTLTĐH NHẬT THÀNH - SỐ 65 HẢI TRIỀU, QUÁN TOAN, HỒNG BÀNG, HP.

Noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is another environmental pollutant. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a byproduct of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it. Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear. Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well- being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. 51) What is the author’s main point? A. Loud noises signal danger B. Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health C. The ear is not like the eye D.
