Đáp án: B
Dịch bài đọc:
Khoảng 200 triệu người được tuyển dụng trong ngành du lịch trên toàn thế giới, điều này làm cho du lịch
trở thành ngành công nghiệp lớn nhất trong nền kinh tế toàn cầu hiện đại. Người ta ước tính rằng 3/4 tỷ
(750 triệu) người đi nghỉ mỗi năm, và các nhà hoạch định ngành dự kiến con số này sẽ tăng gấp đôi vào
năm 2020. Một số người hưởng lợi lớn nhất là các nước kém phát triển hơn, nơi mà du lịch thường là
nguồn thu nhập chính của họ.
Tuy nhiên, cùng với những lợi ích kinh tế, phong trào quần chúng này của con người đã dẫn đến những
mối đe dọa đến môi trường. Mọi người thường quên những thiệt hại do khí thải carbon từ máy bay, cái
mà góp phần trực tiếp vào sự nóng lên toàn cầu. Nạn phá rừng đã san bằng đất để xây dựng khách sạn,
sân bay và đường sá, và điều này đã hủy diệt động vật hoang dã. Ở một số khu vực, tình trạng thiếu nước


hiện nay phổ biến vì cần phải lấp đầy các hồ bơi và sân golf nước cho khách du lịch. Bằng cách tăng giá
hàng hóa và dịch vụ, du lịch cũng có thể gây hại cho những người dân sống tại các điểm du lịch.
Để đối phó với những lo ngại này, một số nhà điều hành du lịch hiện cung cấp các ngày lễ thân thiện với
môi trường. Nhiều hoạt động trong số này nhằm giảm các tác động tiêu cực của du lịch bằng cách khuyến
khích chỉ các khách sạn đã đầu tư trang thiết bị để tái chế chất thải và sử dụng năng lượng và nước một

Dịch bài đọc: Hình ảnh phổ biến về cuộc sống sinh viên là những con người trẻ tuổi, có ít trách nhiệm với
bản thân và làm rất ít việc. Điều này thường không đúng. Nhiều người già bây giờ học đại học hoặc đại
học, đôi khi trên cơ sở bán thời gian trong khi có một công việc và chăm sóc một gia đình.
Những sinh viên này thường có động lực cao và làm việc rất chăm chỉ. Những sinh viên trẻ hơn thường
được cho là lười biếng và bất cẩn về tiền bạc nhưng tình trạng này đang thay đổi. Ở Anh, việc giảm sự hỗ
trợ của chính phủ cho giáo dục đại học có nghĩa là sinh viên không còn có thể dựa vào việc chi trả cho họ.
Trước đây, sinh viên nhận được một khoản trợ cấp cho chi phí sinh hoạt của họ. Bây giờ, hầu hết chỉ có
thể nhận được một khoản vay và phải được trả lại. Kể từ năm 1999, họ đã trả hơn 1.000 bảng cho học phí


và số tiền này sẽ tăng lên đến một con số tối đa là 3.000 bảng. Ở Mỹ, sinh viên phải trả tiền học phí và
tiền phòng. Nhiều người nhận được gói hỗ trợ tài chính có thể bao gồm các khoản trợ cấp, học bổng và
các khoản vay. Nỗi sợ có những khoản nợ lớn gây áp lực đáng kể cho sinh viên và nhiều người phải làm

Khoảng cách thế hệ
Mọi người hay nói về khoảng cách thế hệ như một sự chia rẽ những người trẻ và cha mẹ họ. Nhìn

chung đó là một vấn đề khi trẻ em bước vào độ tuổi thiếu niên, và gây nên than phiền ở cả hai phía. Ví
dụ, các bậc phụ huynh hay nói người trẻ tuổi bất kính và không vâng lời, ngoài ra còn tiêu xài vô trách
nhiệm vì họ không trân trọng giá trị đồng tiền. Thanh thiếu niên, mặt khác, phàn nàn rằng cha mẹ không
hiểu họ.
Vấn đề thực chất là gì? Một lời giải thích nằm ở cách mà xã hội thay đổi. Trong quá khứ, con cái
thường chỉ sống theo lối sống của cha mẹ mình. Trong thế giới hiện tại, cha mẹ tham vọng nhiều về con
cái của họ vì họ muốn con mình đạt được nhiều hơn những gì mình đã làm được. Vấn đề là con cái không
đồng tình với những dự định của cha mẹ. Các thiếu niên cũng trưởng thành ở độ tuổi nhỏ hơn và muốn
được tự lập sớm hơn. Mâu thuẫn xảy ra khiến cả hai bên đều chịu buồn phiền.
