STEPHEN HAWKING

There is a man driving around in a motorized wheelchair in Cambridge, England He can only move his eyes and twofingers on his left hand He communicates through a computer He types words on the computer and the computer speaks for

him This man is Stephen Hawking People know him for his courage and his sense of humor He is also the greatest physicist

since Albert Einstein

Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England His father was a specialist in tropical diseases Stephen wanted to

be a scientist too He went to the University of Oxford and received a degree in physics He then went to the University of

Cambridge to study for a Ph.D During this time doctors discovered that he had ALS, which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease This fatal disease weakens all of the body’s muscles Most people with ALS live for five years The doctors thought

Hawking would live for only two and a half more years.When Hawking heard this, he became very depressed

At about this time he met Jane Wilde, a language student at Cambridge They fell in love and got married in 1965 Hawking

has often said that his wife gave him the courage to continue to study and work Although Hawking had become moreseverely paralyzed, he became a professor at Cambridge Luckily, the work of a physicist only requires one thing: the mind.Hawking had a son and then a daughter He had another son 12 years later when his disease had gotten much worse Hisyoungest son has never heard his father’s real voice He has only heard the voice from the computer Hawking does researchabout how the universe began He sees connections and works out explanations that other people cannot His research hasinfluenced many other scientists Some of his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet His most

famous ideas are about black holes Black holes are not really holes They are areas in space that are very dense They are so dense that even light cannot pass through That is why they are called black holes.

As his disease got worse, money became a problem for Stephen Hawking He had a lot of medical expenses He neededspecial wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours a day, and machines to help him read and speak To earn extra money, Hawking gavespeeches and published articles Then someone told him to write a book that explained the universe to ordinary people

Hawking agreed and wrote A Brief History of Time The book sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and Hawking became a

millionaire Even though most people could not understand Hawking’s ideas, he amazed them Hawking became world

famous He met the Queen of England, he was on the covers of magazines, and he appeared on television shows.

In 1990, Hawking ended his 25-year marriage This was shocking to many of his friends because his wife, Jane, was verydevoted to him She took care of all of his needs She fed him, bathed him, dressed him, and raised their children by herself.Hawking left her for a younger woman - his nurse! They were married in 1995

Hawking’s strong personality and spirit have helped him to live with ALS for over 30 years He has helped to make peopleaware of ALS and other disabilities Hawking teaches us that even though a person is physically disabled, the mind has nolimits

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 from 30 to 35

Our carbon footprint is the estimated amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) given off as we go about our daily lives While theglobal average carbon footprint is about 4 metric tons per person each year, Americans contribute approximately 20 metrictons of greenhouse gas per person each year Compared to other countries, even those who use the least amount of energy in

the US - for example, a person who lives off the grid - still contribute double the carbon emissions than the global average per

person And, not surprisingly, a person's carbon footprint increases in size as his or her income increases So, the less youspend, the more environmentally friendly you are

Trang 3

How is it possible that people in the US who live simple lifestyles, e.g., children or the homeless, make such largecontributions to greenhouse gas emissions? The answer is simple: Each US citizen has access to various basic governmentservices such as firefighting and police departments, road and bridge repair, libraries, jails and prisons, the military, etc Whenthese public services are divided equally among the entire US population, it significantly raises the carbon footprint perperson In fact, according to a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the lowest carbon footprint thatcan be calculated for a person living in the US is 8.5 metric tons And shockingly, this carbon footprint corresponds to ahomeless person who sleeps in public shelters and eats in soup kitchens While it is admirable to make changes in lifestyle toreduce a carbon footprint, in reality, it is very difficult to do The MIT study revealed that a "rebound effect" occurred whensomeone made an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint Take the example of a person who made the deliberate choice tobuy a hybrid car instead of a large SUV to save money on gas costs Very often that person would use the money he or shesaved to do something else, e.g., take a long airplane trip In this ease, just one long airplane trip produces more CO2emissions than driving the large SUV for a year This ends up having a negative impact on a person's carbon footprint bymaking it bigger!

Can Americans reduce their carbon footprints? According to the study, it is possible, but it would require lifestyle changessuch as giving up long-distance travel and buying fewer smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players that have large energy costs toproduce and deliver

The most drastic way to lower the average American's US carbon footprint is to add a CO2 tax on food, housing, andtransportation, and most Americans don't want their taxes raised Unless we can find a way to reduce our carbon footprints,the price we may ultimately have to pay is much higher than the amount Americans will ever have to pay in taxes

[Fron AMERICAN ENGLISH FILE 4, Workbook, 2nd Edition, Oxford 2015]

Question 30: The idiom“lives off the grid” is closest in meaning to

A leads an independent life B does not use public utilities such as water, electricity,…

C does not pay taxes D does not have a job

A the CO2 footprint calculation is not divided equally among all US citizens.

B he or she has access to public services paid for by the government.

D he or she lives off the grid

Question 32: Americans with the lowest carbon footprints are usually

A people who serve as soldiers B people who are unemployed.

C people who have high income D people who have nowhere to live or eat.

Question 33: The "rebound effect"

A has a positive impact on an individual's carbon footprint.

B has a negative impact on an individual’s carbon footprint.

C has a double effect on an individual's carbon footprint.

D has no impact on an individual's carbon footprint.

Question 34: The writer's conclusion is that

A finding a way to reduce the average US citizen's carbon footprint is more important than anything else to all

Americans

B reducing the US carbon footprint is almost impossible.

C paying a carbon footprint tax is an easy solution.

D to reduce the US carbon footprint, taxes should be lowered

Question 35: The average American's carbon footprint is

A approximately four times the global average carbon footprint per person.

B approximately eight times more than the global average carbon footprint per person.

C approximately five times more than the global average carbon footprint per person.

Our carbon footprint is the estimated amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) given off as we go about our daily lives While theglobal average carbon footprint is about 4 metric tons per person each year, Americans contribute approximately 20 metrictons of greenhouse gas per person each year Compared to other countries, even those who use the least amount of energy in

the US - for example, a person who lives off the grid - still contribute double the carbon emissions than the global average per

person And, not surprisingly, a person's carbon footprint increases in size as his or her income increases So, the less youspend, the more environmentally friendly you are

How is it possible that people in the US who live simple lifestyles, e.g., children or the homeless, make such largecontributions to greenhouse gas emissions? The answer is simple: Each US citizen has access to various basic governmentservices such as firefighting and police departments, road and bridge repair, libraries, jails and prisons, the military, etc Whenthese public services are divided equally among the entire US population, it significantly raises the carbon footprint perperson In fact, according to a study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the lowest carbon footprint thatcan be calculated for a person living in the US is 8.5 metric tons And shockingly, this carbon footprint corresponds to ahomeless person who sleeps in public shelters and eats in soup kitchens While it is admirable to make changes in lifestyle toreduce a carbon footprint, in reality, it is very difficult to do The MIT study revealed that a "rebound effect" occurred whensomeone made an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint Take the example of a person who made the deliberate choice tobuy a hybrid car instead of a large SUV to save money on gas costs Very often that person would use the money he or shesaved to do something else, e.g., take a long airplane trip In this ease, just one long airplane trip produces more CO2emissions than driving the large SUV for a year This ends up having a negative impact on a person's carbon footprint bymaking it bigger!

Can Americans reduce their carbon footprints? According to the study, it is possible, but it would require lifestyle changessuch as giving up long-distance travel and buying fewer smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players that have large energy costs toproduce and deliver

The most drastic way to lower the average American's US carbon footprint is to add a CO2 tax on food, housing, andtransportation, and most Americans don't want their taxes raised Unless we can find a way to reduce our carbon footprints,the price we may ultimately have to pay is much higher than the amount Americans will ever have to pay in taxes

[Fron AMERICAN ENGLISH FILE 4, Workbook, 2nd Edition, Oxford 2015]

Cambridge to study for a Ph.D During this time doctors discovered that he had ALS, which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease This fatal disease weakens all of the body’s muscles Most people with ALS live for five years The doctors thought

Hawking would live for only two and a half more years.When Hawking heard this, he became very depressed

has often said that his wife gave him the courage to continue to study and work Although Hawking had become moreseverely paralyzed, he became a professor at Cambridge Luckily, the work of a physicist only requires one thing: the mind.Hawking had a son and then a daughter He had another son 12 years later when his disease had gotten much worse Hisyoungest son has never heard his father’s real voice He has only heard the voice from the computer Hawking does researchabout how the universe began He sees connections and works out explanations that other people cannot His research hasinfluenced many other scientists Some of his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet His most

famous ideas are about black holes Black holes are not really holes They are areas in space that are very dense They are so dense that even light cannot pass through That is why they are called black holes.

As his disease got worse, money became a problem for Stephen Hawking He had a lot of medical expenses He neededspecial wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours a day, and machines to help him read and speak To earn extra money, Hawking gavespeeches and published articles Then someone told him to write a book that explained the universe to ordinary people

Hawking agreed and wrote A Brief History of Time The book sold over 8 million copies worldwide, and Hawking became a

millionaire Even though most people could not understand Hawking’s ideas, he amazed them Hawking became world

famous He met the Queen of England, he was on the covers of magazines, and he appeared on television shows.
