If you are searching for scenic places or areas, visiting wetlands probably won’t be high on your list Wetlands are areas of land that are often saturated with water and they are quite an eyesore Although they might not look pretty, they play an important part in keeping the environment clean and suitable for plant and animal life
With the exception of Antarctica, wetlands occur naturally on every continent There are many
Trang 4different types of wetlands on the Earth, including bogs, swamps, and marshes Along with rainforests, they are among the most diverse places on the Earth In addition to naturally-occurring wetlands, humans
are creating artificial ones for a number of purposes related to water management.
One of the main benefits of wetlands is that they can prevent floods They do so by storing water temporarily and then slowly releasing it over time Wetlands operate similarly to a sponge When it rains heavily and water levels rise, they absorb the excess water This prevents runoff from entering streams and keeping them from overflowing Then, when water levels become low in the future, they will release
it In many cases, wetlands offer a much more affordable solutions than dams However, it’s important to note that wetlands, like dams, don’t eliminate all danger from flooding In cases of extremely heavy rainfall, wetlands can fill up and any additional water will start to run off
Wetlands can also play a part in water purification Agricultural practices, urban runoff, and sewage waste are a major cause of water pollution Wetlands contain plants and organisms that can reduce this pollution by filtering out unwanted substances such as chemicals, and decomposing matter, as well as sediment
Wetlands have additional benefits for the environment as well They can help to feed nearby fish population by releasing vegetative matter to rivers Also, many amphibians use wetlands as breeding grounds because it provides places for foraging and shallow water they require for reproduction Some birds also use wetlands for migration, as they can settle in trees and then raid the wetland’s waters for fish
when they are hungry Although wetlands may not look pretty, it’s clear that they are capable of doing the dirty work required to keep our planet clean and ensure that the circle of life remains unbroken.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and may even cause harm These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out
Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 485
Trang 5The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect If a person has one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information Hence, in an interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first few moments Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers A suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is
Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability Of the various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests
