C. READING
I. Read the following passage then choose the best option to each question or statement.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative. However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it is very dangerous. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the future generations. The most effective thing is that we should use natural resources as economically as possible.

III. Read then answer the questions.
A rocket uses fuels to make power for the engine. The fuel is set on fire inside the rocket. As the fuel burns, it creates gases that have great pressure. These gases are blasted out of the rocket engines. These gases all go out the bottom of the rocket engine where it is open. They come out so fast and with so much power that the rocket is pushed up. It is pushed up so hard that the rocket overcome the force of gravity, which always tries to keep everything on the ground. The force that pushes up against the front of the rocket is called thrust. Unlike an airplane, a rocket doesn’t use wings to help it fly. It just uses the power and force created by the burning fuel to make enough thrust.
46. Where is the fuel set on fire?
47. How do the gases come out to make the rocket be pushed up?
48. What does the force of gravity do?

B. From production to distribution, food eats up a lot of natural resources before it even finds its way to your grocery cart. And once eaten, the leftover plastic wrappers, cardboard boxes and uneaten scraps find a more permanent home in the landfill, emitting greenhouse gasses as they slowly decompose. Here are a few tips for eco-friendly eating:
Plan your weekly meals to waste less food; Only buy food on your shopping list; Start a compost pile; Start a community garden.
C. There’s no doubt that the emissions from traffic pollute the air. Switching up your driving habits can make a bigger environmental impact than you think. Not only will you spend less money on gas, but you will also significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

Here’s how you can limit your paper use: Switch to online bill pay; Opt out of junk mail subscriptions; Think before you print; Recycle according to your local guidelines.
E. The byproducts of power plants can have a negative impact on the environment and human health. Limiting your family’s electricity use can make a big difference, while also saving you money.

The average life span of the Japanese is 78 for males and 85 for females, the longest in the world. The main secret lies in their food. The Japanese eat a lot of tofu, which is made from soybeans.

Seafood like fish and vegetables play an important role in their diet, too. They cook the seafood with less cooking oil and less time. For each meal, they have more dishes on the table than us but they eat only a little of everything, never stuffing themselves. Japanese people also work very hard and do more exercises. This helps them burn the calories off easily.
