VII Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 61 to 65
When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career I decided to give them the confidence to get out and run
I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed by the attitude
of many race organizers They complain about the lack of women in the sport but also use this as
an excuse for not providing separate changing facilities
I put up posters 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined All of them were attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had really thought about running before When or
if they did, they had a picture of painful training They didn’t think of chatting and smiling while running in beautiful places, like by a river
At first they ran for only a minute- now they can run for thirty minutes They’ve also learned from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general
I wanted to do something for women’s running and I’ve had so much pleasure watching their progress- almost as much as they’ve had themselves

VIII Read the following passage and Decide if the statements are TRUE, FALSE or NOT STATED
Living in the modern world
Pollution is one of the greatest problems facing mankind The nuclear accident at Chernobyl and the poisoning of the river Rhine by chemicals are just two recent examples of disasters affecting the environment What can be done? Some people say there is no practical solution However, I believe the problem can be dealt with on three levels: internationally, nationally, and last but not least, on a personal level
Let us begin by looking at the type of international action that can be taken The first point I would like to make is that when a disaster such as that at Chernobyl occurs, it affects millions of people Radiation does not respect international borders In my opinion, there should be strict reactors should be regularly inspected by teams of international experts Similarly, if a country wishes to get rid of nuclear waste by dumping it at sea, it should only be allowed once the matter has been thoroughly discussed by all the countries that would be affected Environmental
disasters can be avoided
Let us now look at what can be done on a national level Governments must be prepared to take action against pollution For instance, air pollution could be reduced if car manufacturers and companies were made to fit effective filters on car exhausts and factory chimneys These measures would in turn help to reduce the damage caused to lakes and forests by acid rain Lastly, what can we do as individuals? Firstly, I believe we should all be prepared to make changes to our lifestyles Personally, I try and use public transport or my bicycle as much as possible When I buy petrol, I make sure it is the lead free variety Secondly, we can protest against companies responsible for pollution by making our opinions known and hitting them in
Trang 14the pocket For example, if the public boycotted products such as aerosols, which damage the ozone layer, the manufacturers would have to change their packaging policies We would show them that we are not prepared to let them get away with destroying the environment
To sum up, I have tried to show that there are steps that can be taken in the fight against pollution It is a problem that can be solved if given the right level of commitment However, only by acting as individuals first can we expect governments to act in their turn
Question 66: Pollution gets a lot of publicity
A true
B false
C not stated
Question 67: Many people accept pollution as part of life
A true
B false
C not stated
Question 68: The writer is a pessimist
