This is because lycopene is insoluble in water and is tightly bound to vegetable fiber Thus, (26) _ tomato products such as pasteurized tomato juice, so up, sauce, and ketchup contain the highest concentrations of lycopene Cooking and crushing tomatoes as in the canning process and serving in oil-rich dishes such as spaghetti sauce or pizza (27) _ increase assimilation from the digestive tract into the bloodstream Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, so the oil is said

Garbage is a big problem all over the world People buy and use a lot of things nowadays After a while, they throw them away in the garbage bin All the garbage is later thrown away or dumped outside the city These places are called landfill sites In many cities, landfill sites are now full

We have to manage our waste and garbage better If we throw away so many things, soon we will have no place to dump them The best thing to do is to reduce the amount of garbage If we use less, we throw away less For instance, we can buy food in big boxes and packages Then we throw away only one box every month or so Otherwise, we throw away many small boxes or cans every day

Similarly, we can reuse a lot of packaging For example, we do not have to buy take-out coffee in Styrofoam cups, which are made of aluminum - a toxic material to the environment We can bring our own cup from home and fill it with fresh coffee

Trang 4

We also do not have to take the plastic bags from the supermarket We can bring our own cloth bag from home instead When we pack lunch, it is better to use a lunch box than a paper bag Instead of paper plates, we can use real plates We can clean up with a dishtowel, not a paper towel

We can use a compost bin for food scraps In this way, the food gets back into the earth It does not get mixed up with the regular garbage

Finally, all paper, glass and metal we do use, we can recycle In many countries, there are now recycling programs In Germany, for example, people separate all glass bottles by color Then they put the bottles into special bins that are on the street The city collects the glass, cleans it, and reuses it As well, in most countries, people recycle newspapers and cardboard It is easy and efficient

Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every

known culture The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that

it attracts attention, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is really great Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves A stop sign or barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions In some culture, applauding in

a theater provides performers with an auditory’ symbol of approval Gestures such as waving and handshaking also convey certain cultural messages

Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few

The concept of being environmentally conscious, or “green,” has become more prevalent in

twenty first-century U.S culture It has begun to affect the manufacturing of everything from toxic household cleaning products to motor vehicles powered by alternative sources of energy However, one way of being “green” that is perhaps not as apparent to the viewer but of equal importance in being environmentally conscious, is the construction of buildings that are considered

non-“sustainable.” Sustainable buildings are those that do not impose on the environment or rely on the over-utilization of energy or natural resources There are four main principles of sustainability, which include consideration of the health and stability of all living things and their environmental diversity, as well as the economic opportunities of humanity

Sustainable architecture consists of environmentally conscious design techniques In the past, the demolition of an old building meant that all or most of the debris of the building would end up in

a landfill or a waste disposal site Today, architects can plan and design a building that uses

recycled materials, such as wood, concrete, stone, or metal These materials are salvaged from the

demolition of an older building and can be appropriately incorporated into a new construction Architects and construction supervisors may also choose to recycle more organic parts of demolished buildings, such as wooden doors, windows and other glass, ceramics, paper, and textiles

A problem that has often arisen has been with how a site crew-whether it is demolition or construction crew determines and sorts what is “waste” and what is recyclable Architects and environmental scientists have to decide whether or not a material is appropriate for use in new construction and how it will impact the environment They must evaluate the materials from the

demolition and determine what those materials contain, and if they meet the standards set by the

U.S government’s Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA) If the debris from the demolition contains hazardous materials that are harmful to the environment or to the consumer, such as asbestos, then the material is not salvageable Use of asbestos for insulation and as a form of fire retardation in buildings and fabrics was common in the nineteenth century Asbestos was once

Trang 12

used in shingles on the sides of old buildings, as well as in the insulation in the interior walls of homes or other construction In new “green” construction, insulation that was once asbestos-based can be replaced with recycled denim or constructed with cellulose-a fibrous material found in paper products The same assessment applies to wood or wallboard painted with toxic lead-based paints In addition, gas-flow regulators and meters on both water and gas heating systems constructed prior to 1961 must be carefully evaluated to determine that they do not contain dangerous substances such as mercury Mercury can be harmful to humans and the environment if

it is spilled during the removal of these devices

Question 35: The word “prevalent” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A rare B unusual C widespread D valuable

Question 36: In paragraph 1, the author implies that

A all buildings impose on the environment

B the concept of being green has not influenced manufacturers

C uses of alternative energy are apparent to the consumer

D some companies manufacture vehicles that are not powered by gasoline

Question 37: According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true?

A Today’s cleaning products and appliances harm the environment

B All construction follows the concept of sustainable architecture

C Sustainable buildings do not overuse electricity, oil, or gas

D Construction of “green” buildings is an old idea

Question 38: In paragraph 2, the word “salvaged” is closest in meaning to

A destroyed B saved C buried D lost

Question 39: According to paragraph 2, environmentally conscious design incorporates

A safe, organic, recycled materials B new wood, stone, or concrete

C debris from a demolished building D materials from a landfill

Question 40: In paragraph 3, the author mention both demolition and construction crews in order

to

A contrast the work of the two types of crews on a site

B give an example of how choosing materials is not easily determined on a site

C illustrate the types of crews that sort waste and recyclables
