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

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

COLORS AND EMOTIONS

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life I love them, and they are just as

important to me as emotions are Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately related?

Color directly affects your emotions Color both reflects the current state of your emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions The color that you choose

to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or emotion that you need

The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you Of

course they also affect anyone who looks at or sees you, but you are the one saturated with the

color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color In the morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day So you can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help you to feel better

Colors, sound, and emotions are all vibrations Emotions are literally energy in motion; they are meant to move and flow This is the reason why real feelings are the fastest way to get your energy in motion Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your body So, the fastest way to be healthy is to be open to your real feelings Alternately, the fastest way to create disease is to inhibit your emotions

C To prove the relationship between emotions and color

Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will

be different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle At first, the sounds that

an infant notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur

at the ends of utterances By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech

Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk

to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their

words They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain

words

More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to acquire aural language

Trang 15

Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults

Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A How babies differentiate between the sound of the humanvoice and other sounds

B The differences between a baby’s and adult’s ability to comprehend language

C How babies perceive and respond to the human voice in their earliest stages of

language development

D The response of babies to sounds other than the human voice

Question 44: Why does the author mention "a bell and a rattle" in paragraph 1?

A To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds

B To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry

C To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds

D To give examples of typical toys that babies do not like

Question 45: The word “they” in the passage refers to

A responses B sorts of auditory stimuli C the babies D sounds

Question 46: The passage mentions all of the followings as the ways adults modify their speech

when talking to babies EXCEPT

A giving all words equal emphasis

B speaking with shorter sentences

C speaking more loudly than normal

D using meaningless sounds

Question 47: The word "emphasize" is closest in meaning to

A stress B repeat C explain D leave out

Question 48: Which of the following can be inferred about the findings described in paragraph 2?

A Babies who are exposed to more than one language can speak earlier than babies exposed to a

single language

B Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways

C Babies ignore facial expressions in comprehending aural language

D The mothers observed by the researchers were consciously teaching their babies to speak

Question 49: What point does the author make to illustrate that babies are born with the ability to acquire language?

A Babies begin to understand words in songs

B Babies exaggerate their own sounds and expressions

Trang 16

C Babies are more sensitive to sounds than are adults

D Babies notice even minor differences between speech sounds

Question 50: According to the author, why do babies listen to songs and stories, even though they cannot understand them?

A They understand the rhythm

B They enjoy the sound

C They can remember them easily

D They focus on the meaning of their parents' word

A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake,

one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice Now

known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating

on the water of the lake

The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to

the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that

have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake

in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples
