ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS Paul Watson is an environmental activist He is a man who believes that he must do something, not just talk about doing something Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in controversial ways Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much Other people think that he is a criminal
On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful
The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally The captain and crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling Instead, they killed as many whales
as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it
is eaten
Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were controversial
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they have become impatient Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act to protect it

V Read the following article and answer questions 51 - 60 by choosing A, B, C, or D
Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually Although much
of this tea is consumed in Asian, European and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share According to estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the
Trang 5U.S population on any given day Black tea or green tea - iced, spiced, or instant - tea drinking has spurred a billion-dollar business with major tea producers in Africa and South America and throughout Asia
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in tropical regions On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new
buds called flush appear, they are plucked off by hand Even in today’s world of modern agricultural
machinery, hand harvesting continues to be the preferred method Ideally, only the top two leaves and a bud should be picked This new growth produces the highest quality tea
After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called withering racks, for 18 to
20 hours During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp Next, depending on the type of tea being produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled conditions of heat and humidity For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green color, and the fermentation process is skipped Producing black teas requires fermentation during which the tea leaves begin to darken After fermentation, black tea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or black color
No one knows when or how tea became popular, but legend has it that tea as a beverage, was discovered in 2737 B.C by Emperor Shen Nung of China when leaves from a Camellia dropped into his drinking water as it was boiling over a fire As the story goes, Emperor Shen Nung drank the resulting liquid and proclaimed the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing Though this account cannot be
documented, it is thought that tea drinking probably originated in China and spread to other parts of Asia,
then to Europe, and ultimately to America colonies around 1650
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce, but
not necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake Some people find that tea is less acidic than coffee and
