One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pours into the lake everyday. Even where law existed, the government did not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.

Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

1. According to the writer, one environmental problem in the world today is ________ .

A. acid rain B. industrial pollution. C. safe water shortage. D. population explosion .

2. Many sources of water are not drinkable because of _______ .

A. acid rain. B. industrial pollution. C. garbage D. all A, B, C, are correct

3. What is serious problem of Lake Baikal in Russia?

A. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants.

B. It is polluted by massive volumes of industrial wastes discharged into it .

C. It has 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world .

D. The government did not have the power to enforce laws and regulations.

4. How many countries throw industrial waste into the Mediterranean Sea regularly?

A. nearly 16 B. exactly 16. C. exactly 15 D. less than 15.

5. What is the message to the reader?

A. We should take action to protect our water resources.

B. We should take all water resources into account.

C. We should limit the use of water resources.

D. We should encourage people to use safe water.

Are Sports Bad for Kids?

People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while playing with others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-esteem or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40 million kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they have been yelled at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression in children’s sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At children’s sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.

As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock yourself out to enjoy sports. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health is not as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.

28. What is the main idea of the reading?

A. Children often become like their parents.

B. Children need to play sports in school.

C. Playing sports may have negative results.

D. Some sports can cause health problems.

29. How many children said they had some negative experience when playing sports?

A. All of the children B. More than half of the children

C. Less than half of the children D. About ten percent of the children

30. Which is described as the main cause of more aggressive playing?

A. Adults B. Children with low grades in school

C. New rules in sports D. Other players

31. What does the writer suggest?

A. Aggressive sports should not be shown on television.

B. Children should not play sports until high school.

C. Coaches should be required to study child psychology.

D. Parents should teach children to play sports for fun and exercise.

32. What would probably NOT be done when “facing up to a problem”?

A. Ignoring the problem B. Finding the reason

C. Admitting there is a problem D. Looking for a solution

VI Read the following passage and answer each of the question below. ( 10 points )

We speak about the weather almost everyday. Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be.

Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult. We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching TV or doing other things.

When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant . It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad one. The sun will stop shinning, and the rain may come.

And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of coure there is. As English people say*rain or shine we must go to school.*.School is good in any weather, isn’t it?

It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplanr pilot, and a hip’s captain to know what the weather will be like. Unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.

1 How often do we speak about the weather?

2 What do we usually do on a rainy day?

3 What is wrong with us when we are at the seasidde on a windy day?

4 According to the writer, what thing can we do and must we do in any weather?

5 Why is it important for us to know what kind of weather it is going to be?
