Tình đồng chí, đồng đội cao quý, trong sáng mà không kém phần thiêng liêng của những người lính được tác giả Chính Hữu tái hiện đầy sinh động trong bài thơ Đồng chí. Trong bảy câu thơ mở đầu, tác giả đã nói về nguồn gốc xuất thân của những người lính. Họ vốn là những con người hoàn toàn xa lạ nhưng lại gắn kết với nhau bởi chiến tranh, cùng chung lí tưởng đó chính là đấu tranh cho độc lập, cho tự do.

“Quê hương anh nước mặn đồng chua”

“Nước mặn đồng chua” là vùng đất bị nhiễm mặn ở ven biển và vùng đất phèn có độ chua cao, là những vùng đất khó trồng trọt. Từ đặc điểm về tự nhiên ta có thể xã định những người lính này đến từ miền Trung, miền Nam của tổ quốc.

“làng tôi nghèo đất cày lên sỏi đá”

Còn “đất cày lên sỏi đá” nói về sự cằn cỗi, tiêu điều của đất đai, đặc điểm này gợi cho ta liên tưởng đến những vùng trung du miền núi Bắc bộ.

Đặc điểm chung của những người lính này là họ đều đến từ những vùng quê nghèo trên khắp cả nước. Trước khi trở thành những người đồng đội họ hoàn toàn xa lạ, không hề quen biết, nhưng họ lại có chung một lí tưởng. Họ đi theo tiếng gọi của tổ quốc mà trở thành những người tri kỉ, những người bạn thân thiết mà theo cách định nghĩa của Chính Hữu thì họ đã trở thành những người tri kỉ.

Những người lính đã sát cánh bên nhau cùng chiến đấu, cùng giúp đỡ nhau vượt qua những khó khăn. Hai tiếng “Đồng chí” vang lên cuối khổ thơ thứ nhất như lời khẳng định về sự gắn bó trong tình cảm, về sự thiêng liêng của mối quan hệ.

Như vậy, qua bảy câu thơ đầu tiên, Chính Hữu đã xác lập được cơ sở của tình đồng đội, đồng chí, làm cơ sở cho sự phát triển tình đồng chí ở những khổ thơ sau đó.

It is most ly that students twenty years ago were not able to enjoy the Internet in their studies. That's why it took them a lot of time, energy, and even money, to do a project that we can now easily complete in one or two days.

For example, when being asked to write an assignment about past habits, the students had to go to the library, look for books on the topic, read the books, and hand-write any information that they thought was useful for their assignment.They would also have to meet with some old people and talk to them about the past. At home, they had to hand-write their assignment, possibly with a lot of erasing and rewriting of the first draft. After finishing the draft, they had to write a clean copy on another piece of paper for submission.

Dịch : 

Nhiều khả năng là sinh viên hai mươi năm trước đã không thể tận hưởng Internet trong nghiên cứu của họ. Đó là lý do tại sao họ mất rất nhiều thời gian, năng lượng và thậm chí cả tiền bạc, để thực hiện một dự án mà giờ đây chúng tôi có thể dễ dàng hoàn thành sau một hoặc hai ngày. Ví dụ, khi được yêu cầu viết bài tập về thói quen quá khứ, các sinh viên phải đến thư viện, tìm sách về chủ đề, đọc sách và viết tay bất kỳ thông tin nào mà họ cho là hữu ích cho bài tập của họ. cũng sẽ phải gặp một số người già và nói chuyện với họ về quá khứ. Ở nhà, họ đã phải viết tay bài tập của họ, có thể với rất nhiều tẩy xoá và viết lại bản nháp đầu tiên. Sau khi hoàn thành dự thảo, họ phải viết một bản sao sạch trên một mảnh giấy khác để nộp.

Chúc bạn học tốt :>

Dr. Jonas Salk is credited with developing the first vaccine to fight against the dreaded polio. Born in New York in 1914, Salk received his medical degree from New York University College of Medicine in 1939 and later attended the School of Public Heath at the University of Michigan.

Salk was very interested in preventive medicine. He worked for the army on producing a vaccine against influenza for five years from 1942 to 1947. In 1949, a group at Harvard University led by John Enders developed a method to grow the polio virus in quantity so that it could be studied further. This discovery was important as it allowed Salk and his fellow workers to study the disease in greater detail.

By 1952, Salk’s group had successfully tested a polio vaccine using an inactive polio virus. In 1954, there were field tests done on a large scale. Initially, there were many different vaccines being used among the public, and there were some deaths associated with the vaccinations. However, Salk’s vaccine proved to be the best and was used without further problems. What was once a dreaded killer had been tamed by the work of Dr. Jonas Salk and co-workers.

Polyester is now being used for bottles. ICI., the chemicals and plastics company, believes that it is now beginning to the grip of glass on the bottles business and thus take advantage of this huge market.

All the plastics manufacturers have been experiencing hard times as their traditional products have been doing badly worldwide for the last few years. Between 1982 and 1984 the Plastics Division of ICI had lost a hundred and twenty million dollars and they fell that the most hopeful new market was in packaging, bottles and cans.

Since 1982 it has opened there new factories producing “Melinar”, the raw material from which high quality polyester bottles are made.

The polyester bottle was born in the 1970s, when soft drink companies like Coca Cola started selling their drinks in giant two-litre containers. Because of the build-up the pressure of gas in these large containers, glass was unsuitable. Nor was PVC, the plastic which had been used for bottles since the 1960s, suitable for drinks with gas in them. A new plastic had to the made.

Glass is still cheaper for the smaller bottles, and will continue to be so unless oil and plastic become much cheaper, but plastic does well for the larger sizes.

Polyester bottles are virtually unbreakable. The manufacturers claim they are also lighter also, less noisy when being handled, and can be re-used. Shopkeepers and other business people are unlikely to object to a change from glass to polyester, since these bottles mean few breakages, which are costly and time- consuming. The bottles with interesting shapes, to try and make them visually more attractive to the public.

The next step could be to develop a plastic which could replace tins for food. The problem here is the high temperatures necessary for cooking the food in the container.

61. Plastics of various kinds have been used for making bottles

A. since 1982

B. since the 1970s but only for large bottles

C. since the 1960s but not for liquids with gas in them

D. since the 1970s but only for large bottles.

62. Why is ICI’s Plastics Division interested in polyester for bottles?

A. The other things they make are not selling well

B. Glass manufacturers cannot make enough new bottles

C. They have factories which could be adapted to make it

D. The price of oil keeps changing

63. Why aren’t all bottles now made of polyester?

A. The price of oil and plastic has risen

B. It is not suitable for containing gassy drinks

C. The public like traditional glass bottles

D. Shop-keepers dislike re-usable bottles.

64. Manufacturers think polyester bottles are better than glass bottles because they

A. are cheaper

B. are more suited to small sizes

C. are more exciting to look at

D. do not break easily

VI. For questions 66 – 70, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text.

Although party invitations no longer frightened me, I still found myself making careful preparations for this particular party. I got a hair-cut. laid out my best suit, selected a special, tie, and cuff links. I had recently gone on a diet, but because I didn’t want to look too thin. I discontinued it. What should I bring my hosts? Flowers? What kind of wine? Sherry? Or possibly even champagne? Meeting new people was still a major undertaking.

It was scheduled for this Saturday and I decided to take a cab to the suburb where it was being held. It was early autumn and the weather had been mild, but that morning it turned cold and rainy, and as I listened to the steam hissing in my radiator, it already felt like midwinter. Trees, visible from my window, covered will foliage only yesterday, had become bare overnight. Churning clouds augured a further change in the weather. From my new paper I learned that a hurricane which had already struck another state as on its way to New York, though it might veer out to sea. The storm left destruction in its wake. In one village an entire cottage was sheared from its foundation and blown into the ocean together with its occupants.

As I lay in bed the morning of the party, I envisioned a change also taking place in me. A loose tooth which hadn’t bothered me suddenly sent a stabbing pain through my jaw. Ordinarily I’m not to headaches, but I awoke with a dull ache on the left side of my head. Several disturbing dreams had given me a restless night, though 1 could only remember them vaguely. In one dream I recalled shouting at someone and being involved in a light. There was also something about an animal, but what it was I couldn’t recollect. What did stay with me afterwards was the despairing knowledge that one leads a double – each part hermetically scaled off from the other.

VII. For question 71 – 75, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text.

Half of the planet’s population lives in cites, yet they consume 75% of the world’s resources and create most of its pollution. This means that all governments are going to have to create effective recycling plans. In cities where recycling schemes have been successful, it is possible to recycle 95% of all household waste. It takes 30 – 40% less energy to make paper from recycled materials than it does to make it from trees. Statistics show that there is a growing awareness of the importance of recycling, and countries such as Sweden already recycle much of their waste.

As the burning of fossil fuel is a major cause of pollution we will have to turn to other energy sources and what could be a better source than the sun? Solar energy is getting cheaper and can produce power even in cloudy conditions. The Japanese have already developed solar-electric roof tiles which are going to make entire buildings self-sufficient, greatly cutting down the need for fossil fuel.
