C. Reading comprehension
I. Read and answer the questions .
1/ RECYCLING
Recycling is the collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can be recycled. The
recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products cost less and requires less energy than using new
materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-pollution alternatives or
minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing process. Recycling decreases the amount of
land needed for trash dumps by reducing the volume of discarded waste.
Questions
a. What does recycling mean?
b. What can be recycled?
c. Does using the recycled materials to make new products cost much?
d. Which requires more energy, using recycled materials or using new materials?
2/ ZIPPER
The zipper is a wonderful invention. How did people ever live without zippers? Zippers are very common, so we
forget that they are wonderful. They are very strong, but they open and close very easily. They come in many colors
and sizes.
Whitcomb L. Judson invented the zipper in 1893. He was an engineer in Chicago. He called the zipper a slide

fastener. However, it didn’t stay closed very well. This was embarrassing, and people didn’t buy many of them.
Then Dr. Gideon Sundback from Sweden solved this problem. Dr. Sundback put the hooks on the strips of cloth. The
cloth holds all the hooks in place. They don’t come apart very easily. This solved the problem of the first zipper.
Questions
a. Why do we forget that zippers are wonderful?
b. Was the zipper invented by Dr. Gideon Sundback in 1893?
c. What did Whitcomb L. Judson call the zipper?
d. Who made the zippers better?
3/ Vietnam’s New Year is celebrated according to the Lunar calendar. It is officially known as Tet Nguyen
Dan, or Tet. It begins between January twenty-first and February nineteen. The exact date changes from year to

houses, cook special food, clean and made offerings on the family altars. On the New Year’s Eve, people sit up to
midnight to see the New Year in, then they put on new clothes and give one another the greetings of the season. Tet
lasts ten days. The first three days are the most important. Vietnamese people believe that how people act during
those days will influence the whole year. As a result, they make every effort to avoid arguments and smile as much
as possible.

d. Why are the first three days the most important?
