I.       Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the questions about it.

A Maine vacation can be a seaside vacation along the state’s rocky and winding coast. Glaciers and the sea have carved so many inlets and harbors that the 228-mile-long coast would be 3,478 miles if it were stretched out straight! Thousands of islands lie off the coast of Maine. Most are uninhabited and are visited only by fishermen. Many have strange names - for example, Wreck Island, the Hypocrites, Junk of Pork, Pope’s Folly, and No Man’s Land.

If you want to explore the coast and islands, you can hire a boat and a captain.

One large and well-known island is Mount Desert Island. Here you’ll find the town of Bar Harbor, a very popular summer resort. If you get tired of the shops and crowds, you can visit Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Somesville, the island’s smaller towns. You can also go for a swim, although the water temperature is hardly ever over 550F!

VIETNAMESE SNACKS

Vietnamese peasants used to have a lot of free time after the busy crop time passed, and preparing some nosh to eat is a certain result of the circumstance. Sweet potato is a prime example of the case. It is considered the most popular nosh in the countryside. Ever experience Vietnam home-staying? You must realize boiled sweet potato, cassava and peanuts are the most typically Vietnamese snacks - of course without salt or sugar added.

And if you dare venture beyond the standard ones, there are surely bizarre things to try. The best place to taste purely Vietnamese snacks is to have them right in a family or on the sidewalks along every street. Tasting a fertilized egg at 4 pm on a breezy afternoon may scare you, yet it is one of the most popular snacks out here and is considered extremely nutritious.

Besides varieties of wonderful noodle, made-of-rice cakes, bean sweet soups you may be too shy to eat a bowl of pig raw blood soups. Does it originate from Totem belief? Not many Vietnamese questions that when eating the dish. All they want to do is to choose the right restaurant and wait to be served the raw blood soups with Vietnamese spirit.

1. When do Vietnamese farmers used to have lots of free time?

2. What is considered the most popular nosh in the countryside?

3. What are the most typically Vietnamese snacks?

4. Are blood soups can be served in restaurants?

Farmers in developing countries are some of the most vulnerable people on earth, prey to world commodity markets, middlemen and the weather. So-called “fair trade” arrangements guarantee co-operative groups a price above the world market and a bonus on top. The growing fair-trade market has distributed hundreds of millions of pounds to more than 50 million people worldwide. But critics say that fair trade will never lift a country out of poverty; indeed, it may keep it there, because the money generated from the sale goes almost in its entirety to rich countries which promote the products. As a simple guide, only about 5% of the sale price of a fair-trade chocolate bar may actually go to a poor country.

B. ORGANIC FOOD

For food to be organic it must be free of added chemicals, both in the growing of the food and in the killing of the pests that might damage the crop. In a world where many manufactured chemicals have never been properly tested for safety, this is a very big selling point. Parents are thus prepared to pay a premium for organic food, especially when chemicals suspected of causing a variety of problems have been found, albeit in tiny quantities, in most children’s blood. The problem is that many farmers have not switched to organic in sufficient numbers to satisfy this growing market. As a result, supermarkets are often forced to fly vegetables as they can label “organic” halfway around the world, at a great cost to the planet in extra greenhouse gases. Environmentalists are now urging shoppers to buy locally produced vegetables, even if they are not organic and have been sprayed with pesticides.

C. RECYCLING

A great shift has taken place in the way we think about rubbish. Where once we were happy to bury it in landfills or dump it at sea, we are now being urged by national and local governments to recycle it and think of waste as a resource. The wheelie-bin culture is being replaced by a series of kerbside collections for paper, metals, plastic, bottles, clothes and compost. The idea is to cut landfill as well as saving the planet. It is, however, having some unexpected consequences. Most of Britain's plastic and paper is now being sent for recycling in China or India, which creates more greenhouse gases just to get it there, plus workers then have to separate it. Meanwhile, some paper and bottles carefully sorted out by householders end up being dumped in landfills after all, because the demand for recycled materials constantly fluctuates.

D. BEING CARBON NEUTRAL

If you want to make yourself feel better about the planet, there are lots for you to ease your conscience by becoming “carbon neutral”. One of the most appealing methods is to pay for someone to plant trees, preferably creating or regenerating new forests. The theory is that trees grow by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen storing the carbon in their trunks. But woods and forests create their own mini-climate, which collects and stores water and creates rainclouds. Added to this, there is the potential problem that planting trees often releases carbon stored in the soil – and what happens if the forests catch fire, or are chopped down and harvested for timber? Another and perhaps better solution might be to invest in small-scale hydro-electric schemes, so that people who live in the Himalayas, for example, and currently do not have electricity, can develop a 21st-century lifestyle without polluting the planet.

E. ECO-TOURISM

The idea of “green” tourism is to persuade local people not to chop down forests, shoot elephants or wipe out tigers, but to preserve them so rich tourists visit and peer at the wildlife through binoculars. Unfortunately, the best money is made from reintroducing animals for trophy hunting by the very rich- an idea which does not always meet with approval and has caused much debate. While tourists may help sustain some national parks, they often create as many problems as they solve. One is that they tend to demand all mod cons in their hotels, such as a great deal of water for showers; a luxury sometimes not available for locals. Eco-tourism, when properly managed, can offer the locals and the animals a brighter future. Sometimes, though, the only winners are a few business people who own hotels.

 

In which section is the following mentioned?

an action that creates a different weather patternQuestion 2. ______ 

an undesirable result of unnecessary global transportation

(NB. You must provide two different option)

Until that October I had never even seen Laerg. This unity seem strange, considering my father was born there and that I’d been half in love with it since I was a child. But Laerg isn’t the sort of place you can visit easily. The small island group is eighty miles west of the Outer Hebrides. Eighty sea miles may be no great distance, but this sea is the North Atlantic and the seven islands are a lonely group standing in the way of the great storms that sweep up towards Iceland and the Barents Sea.

Oddly enough, it wasn’t my father who’d made me want to go to Laerg. He seldom talked of the island. He’d become a sailor as a young man and then married a girl from Glasgow and settled down after surviving a shipwreck in mid-Atlantic but losing his confidence in the sea. It was Grandfather Ross who filled our heads with his talk of island history.

This old man with a fierce face and huge hands had been a powerful influence on both my brother lain and myself. He’d come to live within us when everyone left the island. He had been the only man to vote against leaving when the Laerg Parliament made its decision, and to the day he died he disliked living on the mainland. It wasn’t only that he talked endlessly of Laerg, in the years he stayed with us he taught my brother and myself everything he knew about the way to live on that island of rock, sheep and birds.

I’d tried to get there once a long time ago, hiding away on fishing boat. But on that trip the boat hadn’t gone within a hundred miles of Laerg, and then I joined Iain, working in a Glasgow factory. A year in the Navy followed, and then ten years at sea, and after that I had started the thing I had always wanted to do – I began to study as a painter. It was during a winter spent in the Aegean Islands that I suddenly realized Laerg was the subject that most attracted me. It had never been painted, at least not the way my grandfather had described it. I’d packed up at once and returned to England, but by then Laerg had become a tracking station for the new missile developments. It was a closed island, forbidden to unauthorized visitors, and the Army would not give me permission to visit it.

That was the position until October in the following year when a man called Lane came to my house. It was just after ten in time morning that the phone rang, and a man's voice, rather soft, said, "Mr.Ross? My name's Ed lane. Are you by any chance related to Iain Ross, reported lost when the Duart Castle sank twenty years ago?" "He was my brother."

"He was? Well that's fine. I didn't expect to find you that fast. You're only the fifth Ross I've telephoned. I'll be with you in an hour. OK?" And he'd rung off,

leaving me wondering what in the world it was all about.

I was working on another book cover for Alee Robinson, but after that phone call I'd found it impossible to go back to it. I went into the kitchenette and made myself some coffee. And after that I stood drinking it at the window, looking out across the rooftops, an endless view of chimneys and TV aerials. I was thinking of my brother, of how I'd loved him and hated him, of how there had been nobody else in my life who had made up for the loss I'd felt at his going.
