HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THE FACT THAT MOST OF WHAT YOU OWN WILL ONE DAY BE THROWN OUT ? THNK ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES, THE TELEVISION , AND THE STOVE. THEY WILL TEAR OR BREAK DOWN. OR YOU MAY JUST WANT TO GET NEW, BETTER THINGS. BUT WHERE DO THINGS GO WHEN YOU THROW THEM OUT ?

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT MOST OF IT GOES TO A LANDFILL. A LANDFILL IS A BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND. IT MAY HAVE A CONCRETE OR PLASTIC LINER. THIS LINER KEEPS CHEMICALS FROM SEEPING INTO THE GROUNDWATER AROUND THE LANDFILL.TRASH TRUCKS FILLED WITH ALL THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE THROW OUT GO TO THE LANDFILL.THEY DUMP THEIR LOADS INTO THE HOLE. BULLDOZERS COVER EVERYTHING WITH SOIL. BUT THERE IS A BETTER WAY. AND SINCE WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF LANDFILL SPACE, MORE PEOPLE ARE DOING IT.

THE BETTER WAY IS RECYCLING . RECYCLING LETS MANY THINGS BE USED AGAIN. GIVE AWAY AN OLD TV OR STOVE. THEY CAN BE FIXED SO THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN USE THEM . CLOTHES CAN BE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM. MOST GLASS , PAPER, PLASTIC, AND METAL IS RECYCLABE. WHEN PEOPLE RECYCLE THESE THINGS, IT HELPS THE ENVIRMONMENT. IT SAVES SPACE IN LANDFILL.( PEOPLE TAKES UP MORE SPACE IN LANDFILL THAN ANY OTHER THING!)

SOME PEOPLE HAVE RECYCLE BINS. THEY PUT THEIR PAPER,METAL,GLASS, AND PLASTIC INTO THE BIN. A SPECIAL TRUCK TAKES THESE THINGS TO A PROCESSING CENTER. OTHER PEOPLE MUST DRIVE TO A RECYCLING CENTER AND DROP OFF THEIR THINGS.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE RECYCLING CENTER? PAPER IS SHREDDED AND THEN MIXED WITH WATER AND WOOD PULP TO MAKE A NEW PAPER. GLASS,METAL, AND PLASTIC ARE MELTED DOWN. THEN THEY ARE POURED INTO MOLDS TO FORM NEW THINGS. GLASS JARS ARE MELTED DOWN AND BECOME NEW GLASS JARS. RECYCLING LETS THINGS BE USED OVER AND OVER.

Tái chế.

Bạn đã bao giờ thử nghĩ rằng nhiều thứ mà bạn có được trong một ngày nào đó sẽ bị ném đổ hết ra ngoài ? Nghĩ về quần áo của bạn, cái tivi, và cái lò. Chúng sẽ bị xé ra hoặc bị phá vỡ. Hoặc bạn chỉ muốn những thứ mới, tốt hơn. Nhưng những thứ đó sẽ đi đâu về đâu khi mà bạn ném chúng đi ?

Tin xấu rằng đa số những thứ bị ném đi sẽ ở trong một bãi rác. Bãi rác là một hố chôn lớn giữa bề mặt đất.Và có thể ở trong đó sẽ có bê tông hoặc nhựa. Chính cái nhựa này sẽ giữ hóa chất thấm vào nguồn nước xung quanh bãi rác đó.Những chiếc xe rác lấp đầy cái hố bằng tất cả những gì con người thải ra ngoài. Chúng đổ những đồ vật đó vào những cái hố. Xe lu bao bọc mọi thứ lại bằng đất. Nhưng đang có một cách tốt hơn. Và kể từ khi chúng ta đang cạn kiệt dần những khoảng trống cho hố rác, nhiều người đang thực hiện cách này.

Cách tốt nhất ở đây là tái chế. Tái chế cho phép nhiều thứ bị vứt đi có thể sử dụng lại. Cho đi những chiếc TV cũ và chiếc lò cũ. Chúng có thể được sửa lại để mà những người khác cũng có thể sử dụng. Quần áo có thể gửi đến cho những người mà cần chúng. Đa số thủy tinh, ly chén, nhựa, kim loại thì có thể tái tạo lại.Khi mà mọi người tái chế những thứ này, chúng giúp cho môi trường sống. Chúng giúp tiết kiệm không gian cho những hố rác.

Một số người lại có thùng đựng rác. Họ để giấy, kim loại, ly, và nhựa ở trong đó. Một chiếc xe tải đặc biệt lấy những thứ đó vào một trung tâm chế biến. Nhiều người khác phải lái xe đến một trung tâm chế biến nào đó và đưa những thứ này đến đó.

Chuyện gì sẽ xảy ra ở trung tâm tái chế ? Giấy sẽ được xé nhỏ, sau đó trộn với nước và bột gỗ để làm ra giấy mới. Ly thủy tinh, kim loại và nhựa thì được nung nấu.Sau đó chúng được đổ ra khuôn mẫu để làm những thứ mới. Những chiếc bình thủy tinh được nung nấu và trở thành những bình thủy tinh mới.Tái chế cho phép những thứ cũ được sử dụng nhiều lần.

Đây nhé :)

Tái chế

Bạn đã bao giờ nghĩ về việc rằng những thứ mà bạn đang sở hữu sẽ bị vứt đi một ngày nào đó chưa? Hãy nghĩ về quần áo của bạn, cái ti vi, và cái bếp lò. Chúng sẽ bị xé rách đi hoặc là bị hư, hoặc là bạn có lẽ chỉ muốn có được những thứ mới và tốt hơn. Nhưng những đồ vật đó sẽ đi đâu nếu bạn vứt chúng đi?

Tin tệ là phần lớn chúng sẽ đưa đến hố chôn rác. Hố chôn rác là một cái hố lớn trên mặt đất, nó có thể có lớp lót bằng bê tông hoặc nhựa. Lớp lót này giữ các hoá chất không tràn vào nước ngầm ở quanh bãi rác. Xe chở rác sẽ lấp đầy tất cả những thứ mà người ta vứt xuống hố rác và đổ chất tải xuống cái hố. Những chiếc xe ủi sẽ che lấp tất cả với đất. Nhưng có một cách làm tốt hơn, và từ khi chúng ta đang hết không gian cho bãi rác, nhiều người đang thực hiện cách làm này.

Cách làm tốt hơn này là tái chế. Tái chế để cho nhiều thứ có thể được sử dụng lại lần nữa. Cho đi một cái ti vi cũ hoặc chiếc bếp lò, chúng có thể được sửa lại, nhờ thế ai đó khác có thể sử dụng chúng. Quần áo có thể được gửi đến những người cần chúng. Phần lớn thuỷ tinh, giấy. nhựa và kim loại thì có thể tái chế được. Khi người ta tái chế những thứ này sẽ giúp được cho môi trường, điều này sẽ tiết kiệm được không gian để làm bãi rác! ( Con người làm mất đi không gian để làm bãi rác nhiều hơn bất cứ thứ gì! )

Một số người có thùng rác. Họ vứt giấy, kim loại, thuỷ tinh và nhựa vào chiếc thùng. Một chiếc xe tải đặc biệt sẽ đưa nững thứ này đến một trung tâm xử lý. Những người khác sẽ lái xe đến một trung tâm tái chế và để rác ở đó.

Điều gì sẽ xảy ra tại một trung tâm tái chế? Giấy bị xé nhỏ ra rồi được pha trộn với nước và bột gỗ để làm giấy mới. Thuỷ tinh, kim loại và nhựa bị nấu chảy, sau đó chúng được đổ vào khuôn để hình thành một vật mới. Những chiếc lọ thuỷ tinh được nấu chảy và trở thành những chiếc lọ mới. Tái chế khiến các đồ vật được sử dụng hoài hoài.

Oke, tự dịch đó :v Có gì sai sót thông cảm nha :))

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each questions.

Your mind's ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory. There are two kind of remembering, recall and recognition. For instance, you may not be able to recall the poem you read yesterday in class, but if you see it again, you will know it instantly because you recognise it.

Some few people have "total recall", often spoken of as photographic memory. A person with total recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read only once, or play a musical composition after hearing it once. This is very unusual, however, and most people have difficulty in remembering even the names they heard the day before. This is not because most people lack the ability to remember, but because they had not paid much attention to what they heard. They felt no personal reasons to remember. Having a personal reason for remembering is one of the most important factors in a good memory.

When you have a strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you read or listen, and try to connect the new information to things you already know. A detail is easy to remember when it fits into a whole that make sense. If you understand the entire history lesson before you try to remember any particular dates, your memory may surprise you.

1. One way to improve your memory is __________.

A. to ask other people to repeat something again and again

B. to have a camera with you all the time

C. to concentrate on what you listen or read

D. to learn everything you read or hear by heart

2. This article as a whole tells us about __________.

A. people who can remember whole pages

B. people who can’t remember names

C. your memory and how you may improve it

D. recognition as one way to remember things

3. A person with photographic memory __________.

A. can only remember things if he looks at a photograph

B. can remember every detail of what he sees or hears

C. can be found in mental hospitals

D. brings his camera everywhere he goes

4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Most people lack the ability to remember.

B. Recognition and recall are the two kinds of memory.

C. Your memory is your ability to bring back experiences you had.

D. A person can remember things better if he has a strong reason for doing it.

5. While not directly stated, it may inferred from the article that __________.

A. details are more easily remembered than the whole

B. recall and recognition are the same

C. if one tries hard enough, he can remember as well as another

D. wanting to do a thing is very important to being able to do it

*Read the passage, then choose the best answer

Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, many coaches believe that it is possible for anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants do not run a marathon to win. More important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific age group and gender. Another very important goal is to break certain time barriers. For example, ambitious recreational first-timers often try to run the marathon under 4 hours; more competitive runners will attempt to run under 3 hours. Many runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which makes them " sub-3:30h marathoners ", instead of 3:30:01.

For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many coaches believe that the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to reach a maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance. During marathon training, adequate recovery time is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a kreak for a couple of days or more to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to recover from difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at a greater risk of injury.

 

1. Marathon completion is ______________ .

A. impossible B. easy C. not very difficult D. very difficult

2. One of the important goals in a marathon competition is __________ .

A. breaking time barriers B. age

C. gender D. reaching the finish

3. In marathon training, the most important is ____________ .

A. the age B. the coaches' belief

C. the long run D. the recreation

4. If the marathon runner feels tired or has a pain, _________.
