<strong><em>Sea Turtles Feel the Heat</em></strong>
A_ Sea Turtles are some of the oldest species in the world. The earliest sea turtles appeared over 200 million years
B In Australia, conservationists are studying the <strong>effects</strong> of climate change on sea turtles. They
believe global warming may affect sea turtles in several ways. First, warming temperatures lead to rising sea levels. As
sea levels rise, beach areas become flooded. Sea turtles lay their eggs in the beach sand. Flooding can
<strong>destroy</strong> sea turtle nests and the eggs inside them.
C_ Global warming also raises the temperature of sand around a sea turtle’s nest. The temperature of the nest
affects the <strong>sex</strong> of the turtle’s eggs. Warmer temperatures (above 84 degrees Fahrenheit, or 29
degrees Celsius) produce mostly females. Cooler temperatures produce more males. So, as global temperature rise, more
female babies will be born. Scientists <strong>predict</strong> that in 50 years <strong>almost</strong> all sea turtle
babies in northern Australia will be female.
D_ To survive these changes, sea turtles will need to <strong>adapt</strong>. But adapting is difficult because the
environmental changes are happening quickly. In addition, sea turtles are more at risk from other dangers, especially
ones related to human activities. For example, some populations are getting smaller because of predators brought in by
humans. As conservationist Mariana Fuentes says, ‘We can't be sure if sea turtles will adapt on their own.’ They may
need our help to survive.
E One of Fuentes’s projects is at Turtle Camp, a beach in northern Australia. Here, Fuentes helps to protect turtles
that are laying eggs. She works with a team of rangers and researchers. Together, they <strong>prevent</strong>
predators such as wild pigs and dogs from eating the turtles’ eggs. Without the rangers’ help, the turtles were losing up
to 90% of their eggs. Now there are fewer predators, so the turtles can <strong>safely</strong> lay their eggs.
F_ In the next few decades, sea turtles will face some <strong>tough</strong> challenges. With human help, says
Fuentes, they will have a better <strong>chance</strong> to adapt and survive.

<strong><em>Werre Living Faster, But Are We Living Better?</em></strong>
Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time, and be more relaxed. But
sadly this has not happened. Today we work harder, work longer hours, and are more stressed than ten years ago. We
walk faster, talk faster, and sleep less than previous generations. And although we are obsessed with machines which
save us time, we have less free time than our parents and grandparents had. But what is this doing to our health? An
American journalist James Gleick in a new book, <em>Faster: the acceleration of just about everything</em>, says that
people who live in cities are suffering from ‘hurry sickness’ — we are always trying to do more things in less time. As a
result, our lives are more stressful. He says that if we don’t slow down, we won't live as long as our parents. For most
people, faster doesn’t mean better.

<strong><em>Biogas: a Solution to Many Problems</em></strong>
In almost all developing countries, the lack of adequate supplies of cheap, convenient and reliable
<strong>fuel</strong> is a major problem. Rural communities depend largely on <strong>kerosene</strong>, wood
Dung is in constant supply wherever there are farm animals and, when dried, it is convenient to store and use. But
burning dung destroys its value as <strong>fertilizer</strong>, thus depriving the soil of a much needed source of
<strong>humus</strong> and <strong>nitrogen</strong>.
Rural areas of developing countries are also plagues by a lack of adequate sanitation. Improper waste disposal
spreads disease, <strong>contaminates</strong> water sources and provides breeding ground for disease-carrying
insects.
The problem of improving environmental hygiene, conserving resources and finding alternative sources of fuel may
be unrelated. Their solutions, however, are not, as many countries experimenting with <strong>biogas</strong>
technology are discovering. Biogas, a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, is produced by the
<strong>fermentation</strong> of organic matter. The process of anaerobic fermentation is a natural one, occurring
EHOU.ONLINE - Đề cương ôn tập môn: EG09.3 - Anh van Ill
Bién soan Thé Phong - 08 3533 8593
whenever living matter decomposes. By containing the matter — and the process — in a <strong>digester</strong> or
biogas plant, the combustible gas can be trapped and used as fuel for household lighting and cooking. The digested
slurry that remains can be used on the land as a soil conditioner and fertilizer.
Biogas plants have attracted much interest in recent years and they are in use in several Asian countries: 38,000 are
reported in rural area of India, 27,000 in Korea and more than 80,000 in China. In most countries, the value of the gas
has been the prime factor leading to their adoption: 70 percent of India’s plants, for instance, were built during the
energy and fertilizer crisis of 1975-76 — although their use in that country dates back to 1951. similarly in Thailand and
Korea, biogas is being investigated as an alternative to costly <strong>charcoal</strong> and to save compost materials
form being burned.
In Japan and China, reducing pollution from animal wastes has been an important factor. Privies, hen houses and
pigpens are built in proximity to the fermentation chamber in China. Examinations of the digested slurry have shown that
the total number of parasite eggs was reduced by 93.6 per cent, <strong>hookworms</strong> by 99 per cent and no
schistosome flukes were found.
The greatest benefits from biogas systems, however, are probably to be derived from the manorial value of the
Slurry, although it is not widely used outside of India and China. Vegetable farmers near Calcutta found that the digested
slurry produced bigger and better tasting peas than did other fertilizers and the weight of root vegetables increased by
nearly 300 per cent.
<strong>According to the reading passage, are the statements T (True) or F (False)?
</strong>1.
<answer>p1</answer> Biogas is the answer for the lack of cheap, convenient and reliable fuel.
2. <answer>p2</answer> The production of biogas by fermentation of animals and vegetables wastes is a
technology used in developed countries.
3. <answer>p3</answer> Family —sized biogas plants first came into widespread used in India in the 1940s.

<strong><em>The 1001 night</em></strong>
<em>The Thousand and one nights</em> is probably one of the most famous books in the world. It is a collection
of stories first told by travelers from Persia, Arabia, India and China between the ninth and thirteenth centuries. In later
years professional storytellers also told the stories in coffee houses in Turkey, Egypt and many other countries. <em>The
Thousand and one nights </em>contains well-known stories like Aladdin and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, so people
often think they are just for children — but they were originally for adults.
<strong><em>Shahrazad’s story</em></strong>
There was once an Indian King called Shahriyar. One day King Shahriyar found his wife with another man so he
killed her and her lover. After that the King married a different woman everyday and killed her the next morning before
Shahrazad was the clever and beautiful daughter of the King’s adviser. When her father told her what was
happening, she decided to marry the King. Shahrazad’s father tried to stop her because he knew she was going to die.
But Shahrazad had a plan to save herself and all the women in the kingdom. The King and Shahrazad got married a few
days later.
After the wedding, while the King was drinking with his friends, Shahrazad went to find her sister. ‘I need your help,’
said Shahrazad. ‘Come to the palace this evening and ask me to tell you a story’.
So that night, Shahrazad was getting ready for bed when her sister came to visit her. She began telling her sister a
story called <em>The Fisherman and the Genie</em>. While she was telling the story, the King came into the room. He
started listening to her story too, and became more and more interested.
Shahrazad continued telling the story all night, but she stopped just before the end and said, ‘The morning's here,
husband. Am I going to die now?’. ‘No, no’, said the King. ‘Tell me the end of the story’. ‘I'll tell you this evening, but not
before’, said Shahrazad with a smile.
That night Shahrazad finished the story — and then immediately began another. This continued night after night. The
King never heard the end of a story until the next evening. He couldn't kill his wife because he always wanted to know
how each story ended.
As time passed, the King fell in love with Shahrazad. He knew he could never kill her because he couldn’t live without

her and her stories. To show Shahrazad he really loved her, the King married her again. The stories Shahrazad told the
King became the stories of <em>The Thousand and one nights.</em>

<strong><em>The Olympic Games</em></strong>
During the Olympic Games, people from all over the world come together in the peace and friendship. Some of these
people complete for medals. Several million people attend the games, and millions of other people watch them on
television.
Why do we have the Olympic Games? How did they begin? The first Olympic Games that we have records of were in
Greece in 776 B.C. The games lasted one day. The only event in the first thirteen Olympic Games was a race. Men ran
the length or the stadium (about 192 meters). Then, longer running races were added. Through the years, a few other
In 1984, Pierre de Coubertin of France helped from the International Olympic Committee, and the modern Olympic
Games began. In1896, the games were held again in Athens, Greece. The Greeks built a new stadium for the
competition. Three hundred and eleven athletes from thirteen countries competed in many events. The winners became
national heroes.
After 1896, the games were held every four years during the summer in different cities around the world. In 1900,
the Olympics were in Paris, France, and women competed for the first time. In 1908, in London, England, the first gold
medals were given to winning athletes. Before that time, the winners received only silver and bronze medals. The
Olympic flag was first introduced in 1920 in Antwerp, Belgium. The flag has five rings on it. The rings represent the
continents of Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South American. Each ring is a different color — blue, yellow,
black, green, or red — because the flag of each of the countries that compete in the games has at least one of these
colors in it.
The Olympic Winter games began in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Athletes competed in winter events such as skiing,
ice skating, and ice hockey. Today, the Winter Games take places every four years. The Summer Games also take place
every four years, but not in the same year as the winter events. Both the Summer Games and the Winter Games must
have at least fifteen events, and they cannot last more than sixteen days.
Until recently, Olympic competitors could not be professional athletes. All of the athletes in the Olympic Games were
amateurs. Today, however, many of the Olympic athletes are professional who play their sports for money during the
year. Some people disagree with this idea. They believe that the Olympic game are for amateur athletes, not paid
professionals. Other people think that any one can play in the Olympic Games. No matter who the athletes are, millions
of people throughout the world enjoy watching the greatest athletic competitions, the Summer Game and the Winter
Games of the Olympics.
