Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer 
to each of the questions from 41 to 50. 
 In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is 
big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. 
Recycling means finds ways to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is “Reduce, 
Reuse, Recycle”. 
 The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and 
expensive plastic wrapping. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a 
*English teaching centre – Contact us at 35145579 or 0985536368* Trang 3/5 – Mã đề thi 701 
box and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. Another ways to reduce waste is to boy high-quality 
products. When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones – a loss of 
resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, 
the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less 
packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway 
must stop. 
 The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers 
empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and 
then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, 
returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass 
and plastic from throwaway bottles. 
 The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycling. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used 
again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it 
does to run a TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one 
of the world’s precious resources.

A. Because people will soon throw them away. B. Because they have to be repaired many times. 
C. Because customers change their ideas all the time. D. Because they produce less energy. 
Question 45: What does it mean “Customers can vote with their wallets”? 
A. They can choose the cheapest products. 
B. They can cast a lot of to praise a producer.

 The American Red Cross was established in 1881, largely through the efforts of Clara Barton, who had done 
relief work during the Civil War. In 1900, the society was approved by Congress, and since then it has developed 
until each county in the US and its possessions is served by a Red Cross chapter. This American Red Cross 
performs a great variety of services. In times of war, its biggest task is to give help and comfort to men and women 
in the national armed forces, whether they are sick or well, and to assist their families back home if they need help. 
Even in peacetime, Red Cross members work with these forces whenever they may be of help. 
 The Canadian Red Cross Society was founded in 1896 as the first branch of the British Red Cross Society. 
Since 1927, however, it has been an independent national organization. Almost every activity of Canadian Red 
Cross is carried on similarly by the Canadian one, and its served effectively in both world wars as well as in Korea. 
Nevertheless, the Canadian society has some projects that are unique. Because the country is so large and many 
areas are thinly populated, the Canadian red Cross provides outpost hospitals, nursing stations, veteran’s lodges, 
and travelling medical and dental clinics. 
 The programs of the American and Canadian Red Cross societies are dedicated to the helping people at home
