The following text is for questions 20 to 23.
Nuclear Power
There are three separate sources of hazard in the
process of supplying energy by nuclear power.
The radioactive material must travel from its place
of manufacture to the power station. Although the power
stations themselves are solidly built, the container used for
the transport of the materials are not. There are normally
only two methods of transport available, namely road or
rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with
the general public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or
even through, heavily populated areas.
Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear
power stations produce wastes that in most cases will
remain radioactive for thousand of years. It is imposibble
to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so they must be
stored in one of the inconvient ways that scientist have
invited. For example, they may be buried under the
ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the
sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem,
since an eartquake could easily crack the containers open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidential exposure
due to leak or an explosion at the power station. As the
other two hazards, this is not very likely, so that it does not
provide a serious objection to the nuclear program.
Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of risk are not great
causes for concern. On the whole through, probability of
disaster is still high.
20. How many ways can the nuclear wastes be transported?
A. One
B. Two
C. Three
D. Five
E. Six
21. The whole Text tells us about___
A. The danger of transforming radioactive materials
B. The way to make radioactive wastes not dangerous
for people
C. The potential dangers in supplying energy by
nuclear power
D. The accidents caused by nuclear power stations
E. People’s objections to the establishment of nuclear
stations
22. Storing radioactive wastes under the ground or sinking
them in the sea is still considered unsafe because.....
A. The place is inconvenient
B. An earthquake could easily break the containers
C. It is possible to store them there
D. The methods do not solve the problem
E. It is impossible to make them non-radioactive
C02/17-18

A laptop is a kind of computer unit which has the same
function as a PC (personal computer), but it is smaller,
lighter and of different sixes. Nowadays, most people
choose laptops for several reasons.
A laptop is a portable device. This portability is very
helpful for our work, study and other activities. We do not
need complicated cable installations to activate a laptop,
and with a laptop, we can do our work anytime anywhere.
Moreover, a laptop allows us to access the internet in
public places which provide free access called hot spot
areas. Some people like to use this facility to carry out their
tasks.
Finally, laptop consumes energy more efficiently than a
PC does. This device uses a rechargeable battery as a
source of electric energy. So if we prefer using laptop, it
means that we support the government program to save
energy.
That’s why a laptop has become very popular recently.

This text is for question 43 to 45.
Government should not raise fuel price to solve the
problem of economic issues. People were affected severely
with the high fuel price like last year. Obviously they cut
their spending. As an example, they had to buy lower
quality of rice or palm oil. There were also fewer buyers of
secondary commodities like flour, or canned meat or fish.
Furthermore, the condition of low income family
will become even worse because their expenses will
increase while their salaries will not. Many companies will
have to trim the number of employees because they are
incapable of managing, buying or selling price, standard
wages and personal affairs.
Finally, government should not raise fuel price to
overcome economic problem but the solution should be
sought by tapping into the nation’s own potential and
utilizing it to enhance productivity to its maximum.
45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The government should enhance productivity to
solve the economic problem
B. The government should raise fuel price to solve the
problem
C. The government should consider condition of low
family income
D. The government should reduce the number of
employees

The Near-Death Story of Mellen-Thomas Benedict
In 1982,1 died from terminal cancer. My condition
was non-operable. I chose not to have chemotherapy. I was
given six to eight months to live. Before this time, I had
become increasingly despondent over the nuclear crisis, the
ecology crisis, and so forth. I came to believe that nature
had made a mistake-that we were probably a cancerous
organism on the planet. And that is what eventually killed
me.
Before my near-death experience, I tried all sort of
alternative healing methods. None helped. So I determined
that this was between me and God. I had never really
considered God. Neither was I into any kind of spirituality
and alternative healing. I read various religions and
philosophies. They gave hope that there was something on
the other side.
I had no medical insurance, so my life savings went
overnight on tests. Unwilling to drag my family into this, I
determined to handle this myself. I ended up in hospice
care and was blessed with an angel for my hospice
caretaker, whom I will call "Anne." She stayed with me
through all that was to follow.
