Banking and banks are very important for the functioning of the modern world Without banks, the way we use money would not work Banks enable people to save money, borrow money and to pay for things with ease and security

are convenient for people to use People often have to visit the local branch of the bank when they want certain services There are also some very big multinational banks that have branches in most countries in the world
As well as the local branches that are in most cities, each bank will also have a head office This is where all central tasks are performed that let the local branches function The people that work in the branches will be the bank manager, the person in charge, and various tellers who work behind the bank counter and help the customers There will also likely be security guards to protect the money, workers and customers Most customers will just need to see the tellers when they go to the bank if they are paying money into their account
as either cash or a check However, they might need to see the bank manager if they want to open an account or
if they have become overdrawn, when they have spent more money than there was in the account Also if they want to borrow money and get a loan the person will need to see the bank manager who will have to approve it
As well as being able to use cash or checks to pay for things, banks also offer their customers the more convenient methods of using either a debit card or credit card These methods are very convenient as you just need to carry a small plastic card to be able to pay for anything When paying with plastic you will need to

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
The biologist's role in society as well as his moral and ethical responsibility in the discovery and development of new ideas has led to a reassessment of his social and scientific value systems A scientist can no longer ignore the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings
as he is with the basic research in which he is involved This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of
a laboratory balance As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development
As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human traits are made to order, may soon be a reality As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishment would entail many value judgments Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for change? In cases of genetic deficiencies and disease, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the possibilities for social misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits
Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life
Many scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population A rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products of which
increase the pollution of air, water, and soil The question of how many people the resources of the Earth can support is one of critical importance
Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the need for biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet For although many of man's present and future
Trang 5problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological ramifications
that could affect the very existence of life itself
Question 36: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "ramifications" in paragraph 4?

Question 38: According to the passage, to save our planet, biologists should work _
A accurately and objectively B harder and harder
C on social and political purposes D with other social scientists
Question 39: What is the author's purpose in this passage?
A To conduct a survey of the biologist's role in society
B To emphasize the biologist's role in solving the world's problems
C To urge biologists to solve the problem of surplus human population
D To advise biologists to carry out extensive research into genetic engineering
Question 40: It is implied in the passage that genetic engineering
A is the most desirable for life B may do us more harm than good
C will change all human traits D is no longer desirable
Question 41: What is probably the most important biological problem mentioned in the passage?
A genetic engineering misuse B social and economic deficiencies
C environmental pollution D manipulation of genes
Question 42: According to the passage, a modern scientist should be more concerned about _
A the development of new ideas B his basic research
C his manipulation of genes D the consequences of his discoveries
Question 43: The word "which" in paragraph 3 refers to _
A serious environmental pollution B activities of an overpopulated society's industry

A The workers at the factory shouldn’t wear protective clothing
B The workers at the factory must wear protective clothing

D The workers at the factory may wear protective clothing

B It has been reported that soil pollution has actually put many local farmers' lives at risk
C It is reported that the livelihood of many local farmers has led to serious soil pollution
D The livelihood of many local farmers was reported to be seriously endangered by soil pollution
