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.
Garbage is a big problem all over the world People buy and use a lot of things nowadays After a while, they throw them away in the garbage bin All the garbage is later thrown away or dumped outside the city These places are called landfill sites In many cities, landfill sites are now full
We have to manage our waste and garbage better If we throw away so many things, soon we will have no place to dump them The best thing to do is to reduce the amount of garbage If we use less, we throw away less For instance, we can buy food in big boxes and packages Then we throw away only one box every month
or so Otherwise, we throw away many small boxes or cans every day
Similarly, we can reuse a lot of packaging For example, we do not have to buy take-out coffee in Styrofoam cups, which are made of aluminum – a toxic material to the environment We can bring our own cup from home and fill it with fresh coffee
We also do not have to take the plastic bags from the supermarket We can bring our own cloth bag from home instead When we pack lunch, it is better to use a lunch box than a paper bag Instead of paper plates, we can use real plates We can clean up with a dishtowel, not a paper towel We can use a compost bin for food scraps
In this way, the food gets back into the earth It does not get mixed up with the regular garbage
Finally, all paper, glass and metal we do use, we can recycle In many countries, there are now recycling programs In Germany, for example, people separate all glass bottles by color Then they put the bottles into special bins that are on the street The city collects the glass, cleans it, and reuses it As well, in most countries, people recycle newspapers and cardboard It is easy and efficient

READING COMPREHENSION
Young people have always liked having their own language Each generation has its own slang words, and they change faster than most adults can keep up with That’s the point of slang, according to experts who study language and communication, and according to the young people themselves “You don’t want your parents or teachers understanding everything you say,” says one 15-year-old “We need our own space, too.”
But nowadays it’s not a matter of just a few words There is a whole new language developing It’s happening online, and it’s happening at lightning speed “It” is the language of Instant Messaging, or IM, also used in text messaging For young people, it’s a fun and creative way to converse And the cool thing for them
is, most adults can’t understand it
“Young people have always been secretive,” says one communication expert “It used to be passing notes under the desk in class It’s a way of keeping in touch and keeping adults in the dark.”
There isn’t only one IM language, either Young people in every country have developed their
own lingo, mainly based on sounds For example, the Spanish question word ¿que? Become K? in IM
language In French, A+ (a plus) isn’t a good grade, it’s the equivalent of L8R (later) In Japan, teenage girls
have created an entire language called Gal Go It is a combination of different types of Japanese characters,
and even boys of their generation find it impossible to figure out
The good news is that the preoccupation with IM – and with secrecy – doesn’t last forever By the time they enter college, most young people are using a simpler version of IM language, with just a few common abbreviations everyone knows By that time, IM is just a practical way to keep in touch with friends and
Trang 7colleagues, not a way to keep secrets from the older generation.
36 The 15-year-old suggests that young people _.
37 According to the passage, that is TRUE about IM language?
C It is being learned by adults D It is developing quickly
38 The word “lingo” in the passage would probably mean _.
39 The word “It’ in the passage refers to _.
40 What usually happened by the time young people enter college?
A The forget how to use IM
B They use a less complicated form of IM language
C They use a more complicated form of IM language
D They lose interest in keeping in touch
