                                    Where do we get the news?

     Information about what has happened in the world, in our country, in our area, or even in our town comes to us in many ways. People who can read often get their news from the media. Because many people in the world are illiterate, however, they get the news from television or radio.

     Newspapers around the world are similar in many ways. They all have news stories that tell people about the events of the day or week. Often, papers have other purposes that are devoted to business, sports and maybe the latest fashion news. Papers usually appear weekly or everyday, but in some places they may only appear monthly. Magazines are another way that some people get the news. They are longer and usually appear slower. Television and radio are two other ways of the news. They get the news out faster than the newspapers and magazines, and they don’t have to be read. Radio and television stations broadcast the news several times each day.

II. READING COMPREHENSION (1 point / 0.25 each): Read the passage carefully and decide whether the
following statements are TRUE or FALSE
(Lưu ý:Học sinh phải viết rõ câu trả lời là TRUE hoặc FALSE,không viết tắt là T hoặc F).
Air pollution is a cause of ill-health in human beings. In a lot of countries there are laws limiting the
amount of smoke which factories can produce. Although there isn’t enough information on the effects of
smoke in the atmosphere, doctors have proved that air pollution causes lung diseases.
The gases from the exhausts of cars have also increased air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol
produces a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets surrounded by high buildings. Children who live
in areas where there is a lot of lead in the atmosphere cannot think as quickly as other children and are clumsy
when they use their hands. There are other long-term effects of pollution. If the gases in the atmosphere
continue to increase, the earth’s climate may become warmer. A lot of the ice near the poles may melt and
may cause serious floods.
Statements True False
5. Air pollution can cause lung diseases.
6. The lead in petrol produces a harmful gas.
7. If the gases in the atmosphere increase, the earth’s climate may become cooler.
8. Ice melt from the poles can cause serious floods.
