Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions from 1 to 5
In 1976 one survey revealed that 3000 bald eagles in the lower 48 States, the mainland, of the USA.

those same nest states.
The eagle, America’s national Symbol, had been shot and poisoned and deprived of its living space.
Another reason for its decline lay in it nesting habits. Bald eagles do not bread until they are 3 to 5
years old, and then they normally produce only two ergs per year. The eagle often returns each year to
the same nest so preservation of nesting areas is important.
Congress took action to protect the eagle in 1972. Criminal penalties for killing a bald eagle may be
as much as a $ 20000 fine and one year in prison or one year in prison. Healthy eagle eggs have also
been transplanted from unpolluted areas to another ones where eggshells are very thin, and young birds

68. EX: In my life, I have read many books. To my view, Harry Potter is one of the most
interesting books not only for children but also for adult. There are three main reasons: attractive,
imaginative , and educative.Firstly, no sooner do you start reading the book than you will be carried
into story. When HP was in the day of beginning of term of Hogwart, when HP had to face to
Voldemort, you could not guess what would happen next. Therefore, before the seventh chapter of HP
was introduced, people had designed many website only to predict the ending of story. However, most
of people are forecast wrong. And you still will find it suprised until finishing reading the
book.Secondly, J.K.Rowling wrote an imaginative story. When you come to the magical world of HP,
you will see aggresive dragons, huge people. You could sit onto a magical broom in order to fly and
experience the feeling of a bird. You could attend Snatch matches and try to gain the victory in the
battle of four rival buildings: Grinffidor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Finally, HP include an
educative meaning. Through the story, you will find the warming love between HP and his parents, the

honest friendship of HP, Ron, and Hermione; and the brave of Mr.Snape. There are remain many
respectable other relationships. It makes us understand that we have to more respect and more love our
surrounding relatives.In brief, I personally think that HP is a wonderful story. When closing the final
page of its, I was under impression on its attraction, imagination, and education.
