THE STORY OF CHINESE ZODIAC SIGNS

The story behind the Chinese Zodiac begins with the Jade Emperor who lives in the
heavens. From there, he couldn’t see all that happened on the Earth. Having become
curious about animals, he consulted with his advisers to see which creatures should be
welcome for a visit.

The first invitation was to the Rat who was asked to invite the Cat too. Rat conveniently
“forgot” that invitation. Other animals that received the King’s request were the Ox, Tiger,
Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.

All the animals were told that one of the 12 signs would be awarded a place in the celestial progression based on the
order in which they arrived.

The Cat finally heard of the race and traveled with the Rat. When they reached a river, the gentle and generous Ox
offered to get them across. Again the Rat took an opportunity and pushed the Cat into the water, then jumped off
the Ox to the shore, becoming the first zodiac sign. The Ox was right behind them followed shortly by the Tiger. The
Rabbit managed the river’s flow by jumping on rocks. The Dragon had no need but was a bit slower in his arrival
when he saw people in need of rain. The Horse and Snake came afterwards, the Horse was frightened at first by the
Snake’s appearance.

III. Read the passage about the use of astrology in choosing marriage partner in Viet Nam, and then

answer the questions.

Use of Astrology in Choosing Marriage Partners in Viet Nam

According to astrological beliefs in Viet Nam, the five major planets with a significant
influence on human lives and the items that represent them on Earth are: Venus, metal;
Jupiter, wood; Mars, fire; Mercury, water; and Saturn, soil. Each of these elements can
build up or destroy one another according to this theory. That is to say: Fire helps soil
but destroys metal while soil helps metal. Wood destroys soil while water helps wood.
Water destroys fire while metal helps water. Metal destroys wood while wood helps
fire.

Since individuals at birth come under the influence of at least one of the above planets,
it is imperative to make sure that two which oppose each other are not united. A man
born under Venus marrying a girl of Mars would find arguments, unhappiness, etc., whereas the same man marrying
a girl under Mercury’s influence would be happy. Similarly, if the man is of fire influence and the wife of water,
countless arguments, poverty and perhaps divorce is their predetermined fate; but if man is under influence of fire
and the girl of wood, they will have many children and prosperity.

However, astrology is only one of the three major factors which must be thought in considering marriage. Strange to
the western culture, the thought of romance is not a major factor, if considered at all.

1. What are the five major planets with a significant influence on human lives?

_____________________________________________________________________________
2. What is the theory of interaction between the basic elements?

_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________

3. According to astrology, what may happen if a man of fire influence marrying a girl under Mercury’s influence?
_____________________________________________________________________________

4. Who does a man born under influence of fire look for his marriage partner?

_____________________________________________________________________________
5. What is the major factor of marriage in the western culture?

HOW TO STOP WATER POLLUTION

Water pollution is one of the biggest threats to the environment today. There are several sources of water pollution
ranging from sewage and fertilizers to soil erosion. The impact of water pollution on wildlife and their natural habitat
can be immense. There are also a number of things that the average person can do to help stop water pollution.

</div>
(16)<div class='page_container' data-page=16>

The oil used to lubricate engines in all types of machines needs to be changed regularly. When the oil is changed, it
presents a number of environmental hazards if not disposed of properly. When a leaky engine releases this oil into
the street, it runs to the sewer and makes its way into waterways.

Wherever you see a lot of human recreation, you will almost always see lots of evidence of human use. Wrappers,
bottles and other trash are unfortunately a common site at many well-used beaches and rivers around the world. It
should be fairly obvious that the trash from these places often ends up in waterways and can cause pollution. Plastics
are an especially big issue when it comes to water contamination at beaches and waterways. Picking up litter wherever
you find it is honestly the best, fastest way to do your part to stop this type of water pollution.

Organize cleaning parties with local people to make the reach larger. Gel businesses involved as sponsors who will
donate prizes to the person who collects the most trash if you're having a hard time finding people to sign up to help.
It is estimated that the consumption of plastic by humans is between 250 and 300 million tons a year. About 80% of

the plastic in the oceans came from the land. Using alternatives to plastics or using "less disposable" plastics whenever
possible can have a surprising impact on ocean pollution. The fact that plastic is cheap and useful for different
purposes makes it obvious choices for many people.

36. Soil erosion can lead to water pollution because ______.
A. soil can be eroded by rain water

B. soil erosion can occur naturally everywhere

C. chemicals in the sediment from the soil erosion will pollute water 
D. massive fish deaths will make the rivers unsafe for human use 
37. The following are the effects of water pollution EXCEPT that ______.

A. it may cause massive fish deaths due to algae blooms 
B. it may keep the banks of rivers well-covered with trees 
C. it may make water unsafe for human use

D. it may spoil the beauty of beaches or waterways

38. Lubricants can cause environmental hazards when ______.
A. they are not disposed properly

B. they are changed regularly 
C. they may be found in the streets 
D. the engines work perfectly

39. In order to make beaches clean and green, we should ______.

A. organize campaigns in which prizes will be given to the business who collects the most trash 
B. find places with a lot of human recreation and of evidence of human use

C. follow the trash from these places which often ends up in waterways

D. ask local people to take part in cleaning up the beaches, maybe with the sponsor from businesses 
40. We can infer from the passage that .

A. alternatives to plastics or “less disposable” plastics can make the situation worse 
B. using too much plastic can cause bad effects on ocean pollution

C. using plastics only causes ocean pollution 
D. we don’t know how to stop water pollution
