2 They stick with you through both the good and bad times.
This one probably best distinguishes a fake friend from a real one; in hard times, a true friendwould never dream of leaving you in the shadows alone Instead, they offer to help youhowever they can, and bring you back into the light, again Fake friends often bail on youbecause they only wanted to stick around when things went well for you, and felt like helpingyou through your problems was a burden for them

memories among friends

An activity where you have to work even harder is called vigorous intensity activity There issubstantial evidence that vigorous activity can bring health benefits over and above that ofmoderate activity You can tell when it’s vigorous activity because you’re breathing hard andfast, and your heart rate has gone up quite a bit If you’re working at this level, you won’t beable to say more than a few words without pausing for a breath People are less activenowadays, partly because technology has made our lives easier We drive cars or take publictransport Machines wash our clothes We entertain ourselves in front of a TV or computerscreen Fewer people are doing manual work, and most of US have jobs that involve littlephysical effort Work, household chores, shopping, and other necessary activities are far less
Trang 21demanding than for previous generations.
We move around less and burn off less energy than people used to Research suggests thatmany adults spend more than 7 hours a day sitting down, at work, on transport or in theirleisure time People aged over 65 spend 10 hours or more each day sitting or lying down,making them the most sedentary age group

Question 46-50
Have you ever thought about going abroad to volunteer? Making a difference in a countryless fortunate than your own is seen by most as a really positive thing to do However, noteveryone is in favour of this so-called ‘voluntourism’
Volunteer tourism is a growing fashion - in 2015, it was estimated that 10 millionvolunteers helped on projects abroad These include building houses or hospitals, teachingEnglish in schools, helping locals get to grips with computers, installing water filters,looking after children in orphanages, and much more
However, there’s an argument that volunteers take away jobs from locals who wouldhave otherwise done that work Yes, sometimes volunteers have specific knowledge whichcan benefit communities, such as IT skills or speaking English as a native language.However, in some cases they are put to work on construction sites, for example, deprivinglocals of a job on that project Additionally, many young travellers are untrained for therole This could become a health and safety problem on construction sites or when caringfor children Furthermore, the booming industry is seen by some as just that - an industry,
a way for companies to make money It’s estimated that up to $2 billion was spent by
Trang 22volunteers last year in 2015 Surely it would be better if this money were directly donated
to an established chanty, equipped to spend the money where it is needed the most?Instead, most of the money is going to profit-seeking tourism companies, while localcommunities only see a fraction of it
Finally, volunteering abroad also helps you develop as a person, and is a shining addition to a
cv I think volunteer projects are usually very valuable for communities, but often benefit theparticipant just as much, if not more, than those they are helping
46. It was estimated that 1 million volunteers worked on projects abroad in
2015
47. Helping locals get to grips with computers and installing water filters are
some voluntary activities you can do abroad

Pollution is an environmental concern for people throughout the world One university studysuggests that pollutants in the water, air, and soil cause up to 40% of the premature deaths
in the world’s population The majority of these deaths occur in developing countries
Water in many developing countries is contaminated with toxic chemicals, also known astoxins The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.1 billion people have little or
no access to clean water In many of these regions the water that is used for drinking,cooking, and washing is the same water that is used for dumping sewage and hazardouswaste Most developing countries cannot afford water treatment facilities Approximately 80%
of infectious diseases in the world are caused by contaminated water
Air pollution is a growing problem throughout the world Indoor air pollution is one of theleading causes of lung cancer Families in developing countries use open stoves for cookingand heating their homes These homes do not have proper ventilation The smoke, which isfull of chemicals and carcinogens, gets trapped inside where families eat and sleep Outdoor

Frustration may be the most difficult stage of culture shock and is probably familiar toanyone who has lived abroad or who travels frequently At this stage, the fatigue of notunderstanding gestures, signs, and the language sets in and miscommunications may behappening frequently
Frustrations are often subdued as travelers begin to feel more familiar and comfortablewith the cultures, people, food and languages of new environments Navigation becomeseasier, friends, and communities of support are established and details of local languagesmay become more recognizable during the adjustment stage
Generally - though sometimes weeks, months or years after wrestling with the emotionalstages outlined above - the final stage of culture shock is acceptance Acceptance doesn’tmean that new cultures or environments are completely understood, rather it signifiesrealization that complete understanding isn’t necessary to function and thrive in the newsurroundings

All of our energy comes from the Sun, which is our nearest star The Sun sends out hugeamounts of energy through its rays every day We call this energy solar energy or radiantenergy Without the Sun, life on Earth would not exist, since our planet would be totallyfrozen We use this solar energy in many different ways The sunlight lets US see and warms
US Plants use the light from the Sun to grow They store it as chemical energy This process
is called photosynthesis The energy is stored in their roots, fruits, and leaves This energyfeeds every living thing on the earth When humans and animals eat plants and the foodmade from plants, we store the energy in our bodies, in our muscles and in our brain cells.Just as humans store energy in their bodies, the Earth stores the Sun’s energy too TheSun’s energy is stored in coal, natural gas, water and wind Coal, oil, and natural gas areknown as fossil fuels Fossil fuels were formed over millions of years ago when the remainsand fossils of prehistoric plants and animals sank to the bottom of swamps and oceans.These animal and plant remains were slowly covered and crushed by layers of rock, mud,sand, and water The pressure of all those layers caused the plants and animals to breakdown and change into coal, oil, and natural gas We use the energy in these fossil fuels tomake electricity We use electricity in many different ways We light and heat our homes,schools, and businesses using electricity, and to run computers, refrigerators, washingmachines, and air conditioners Our cars and planes run on gasoline, which comes from oil
