As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example,
American eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of their diet,
they have high rate of cancer and heart disease. In japan, in constrast, people eat large amount of grains
and very little meat. The Japnanese also have very low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact , The
japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when japanese people move to the
united States, the rates of heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as humbergers,
ice-cream, and other high fat foods become popular in japan , the rates of heart disease and cancer are
increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as
Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not surprisingly, thr disease rates in these countries are increasing along

vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer dairy products.

III/reading comprehension
One of the most feared occurrences in nature is the tornado(tɔ:'neidou]bão táp, cơn lốc xoáy,vòi rồng
). The area most frequently the target of this violent windstorm is the Great Plains, the region
extending(trãi dài) from the Rockies to the Mississippi, and from Canada down through Texas. When
warm , moist air meets with cooler, drier air at low levels , a tornado often occurs, Prior to( prior to
something) trước khi) the formation of the familiar funnel-shaped cloud, the sky is very clear. Then, a
black line suddenly appears . as this black ara moves in , the fast wind becomes hot and moist and a deep
stillnss encircles the landscape. Because the air pressure drops steadily during a tornado, breathing
becomes difficult. Insects fall to the ground, unable to balance themselves in flight. Suddenly, a black
funnel( 'fʌnl]cái phễu) resembling a giant whip dips down out of the sky, destroying what it touches, and
then retreats. Although a tornado usually destroys property rather than lives, an average of 120 people die
yearly as the result of these violent storms. It is obvious why the tornado is feared through out the Great
Plains.

A.the air has yellowish tinge B.he skyis very dark C.the sky is cloudless D. A red line
stretches across the horizon
2.what effect does a tornado have on insects?
A. they fly above the darkend clouds to safety B.they are unable to navigate
C.thier rate of breathing is increase D.they die instantly due to low atmospheric
pressure
3.on the average , how many people are killed by tornadoes annually?
A.83 B.120 C.300 D.250
4.what atmospheric conditions bring about the formation of a tornado?
A. warm, damp air encounters cooler arid air B.extremely hot, dry air meets ith warm,dry air
C.Dampair connects with extremely wet air D.cold, damp air encounters hot, dry air
5.why does breathing become more difficult for humans just before a tornado strikes?
