Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many problems in the world, for example, pollution problems. Air pollution is the first kind.

In addition, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city where many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution.

However, I will never forget my first personal experience with the strangeness of nature the London Killer Fog of 1952. It began on Thursday, December 4, when a high pressure system (warm air) covered southern England. With the freezing cold air below, heavy fog formed. Pollution from factories, cars, and coal stoves mixed with the fog. The humidity was terrible high, there was no breeze at all. Traffic (cars, trains, and boats) stopped. People couldnt see, and some walked onto the railroad tracks or into the river. It was hard to breathe, and many people got sick. Finally, on Tuesday, December 9, the wind came and the fog went away. But after that, even more people got sick. Many of them died. 1. Which natural disaster isnt mentioned in the text?

If people can still not figure out what the object is after an investigation, it is called a UFO. If they figure out what the object is, it can no longer be called a UFO because it has been identified. Even though UFOs can be anything, people often use the word UFO when they are talking about alien spacecraft. Flying saucer is another word that is often used to describe an unidentified flying object.

English is my mother tongue. Besides, I can speak French and Spanish. I studied the two languages when I was at high school. Now, I am still learning Spanish at the University. As for me, mastering a foreign language is not easy. After studying a language, practice is very necessary and useful. Travelling to the country where the target language is spoken is very helpful, but if you cannot speak the language well enough you will certainly have troubles. I also frequently go to the movies, watch television, and listen to the radio in the language I am trying to learn. Reading is another good way to learn. Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However, getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing. Grammar and vocabulary should be mastered first. 1. How many languages can the writer speak? A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4 2. The writer has learnt Spanish.... A. in Spain B. at high school C. at University D. B and C 3. Travelling may cause troubles if.... A. you cannot speak the language well enough. B. you can speak the language well enough. C. you can speak the language bad enough. D. you can communicate in the target language. 4. Some useful ways to practice your target language are.... A. listening to the radio and watching TV in the language B. reading books in the language C. seeing films in the language D. all is correct 5. According to the writer, what should be mastered first? A. Vocabulary B. Vocabulary and grammar C. Writing skill D. Reading skill 30. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to complete each blank. FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON Long ago, many people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky. And others thought it was a big ball of cheese! The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there. On July 20, 1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldine. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off. The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study. They drug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft.

Then they were off on their long trip back to earth. Behind them, they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever. 1. This story tells....

The air is also very clean because there is not much traffic. The people here are much friendlier than those in a city. If someone has a problem, there are always people who can help.
