Pope and Napoleon (37) ________ responsible. Some years before the reign of Bonaparte, the pope came to visit
Paris. Up to then there had been no rule about the movement of traffic. The authorities, however, decreed (38)
______ the Parisians should ride or drive on the right-hand side of the street, leaving the left-hand side clear for
the movement of the papal carriage. Thus a custom was born and, when Bonaparte came along, he made it the law
of the land. Moreover, as he conquered country after country, the right-hand rule was (39) _______ in those lands

Read the following passage and choose the best answer:
e know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of these people
die. But, let’s look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill ? Well I think you
already know this : People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks.
One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have conđề thi thử
Đại học môn tiếng Anh hay test s to see who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks. Another reason that people

kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food.
In other countries, such as China, people use shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark,
fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food.
W
o, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worried that the
number of sharks is getting too small. That’s why many biologists think we should stop killing so many
sharks, and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already
passed some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the number of
sharks that people can kill for food or for sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to
protect them.
