Trang 3II READING (2 points)
TASK 1 Read the passage Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
There are many reasons for reducing the forest areas,
and this causes many complicated problems for any
nation without any exception Due to the population
explosion, many governments need more land for
residents to live and develop the economy They also
clear forests to build dams for generating electricity or to
develop resorts and recreational complexes Besides, a
huge number of trees are logged illegally to trade wood
All of these lead to serious issues as forests always have
an important role in the ecosystem balance It is
undoubted that when a forest area is destroyed, the
following results affect the other neighbor regions The
first negative effect of the loss of forest lands is flooding
Forests help to prevent erosion and flooding and without
them, the downstream areas tend to be inundated
frequently in rainy and hurricane seasons Another
problem is global warming Forests are often considered
as the lungs of the earth because they absorb the carbon
dioxide and release the oxygen This helps to refresh the
atmosphere and lower the rate of the carbon dioxide in
the air If not, the average temperature will be higher and
higher since the emission of the gas into the atmosphere
increases every day Consequently, the price we would
pay for the flooding or for the increase of greenhouse
gasses is not only the damaged and polluted
environment but also our deteriorated health and lives
To save ourselves, it is advisable to join hands in
protecting and growing more and more forests

C. Illegal logging
D. Lack of land for agriculture
4 What is one of the negative impacts of clearing forests?
A. The increase of heat
B. Severe environmental disasters

Hello everyone, welcome to the Evening news podcast today We start with the news of the wildlife environment There is a threat to the red-shanked doucs According to experts, the primate is native to
Indochinese countries, but these days we can only observe them in Son Tra peninsula located in the Center of Viet Nam This kind of rare wild animal is listed among the most endangered animals over the world Recently, it faces the loss of its natural habitat because of local people's behaviors like cutting down trees to build houses and farms
Dangerously, a few doucs were found dead in the edge of the forest last week, which puts their survival at the very alarming situation There are some conservation efforts from the volunteer groups dedicated to
preventing the animals from harmfulness and raising people’s
awareness of protecting the vulnerable wild animals Nevertheless, the local authority also needs to immediately carry out more actions to secure the long-term survival of the wild mammals in the peninsula as well.
