This has major economic, social and environmental consequences, given by the traffic congestion and pollution which (1. VARY). follow. According to (2.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer (A, B, C, D) for each of the questions below. (5 points) # page “Hoc voi Otto Channel” # Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are ‘screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere, they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage. Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rem has been agreed on. The trouble is that itis extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage - a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation, and during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rem. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far. 1. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man because A. it protects him against the harmful rays from space B. it provides sufficient light for plant growth C. it supplies the heat necessary for human survival D. it screens off the falling meteors 2. We know from the passage that ‘A. exposure to even tiny amounts of radia B. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming C. radiation is avoidable in space exploration D. astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage 3.

(5 pts) # page “Hoc voi Otto Channel” # The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although Vietnam lies geographically in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and influence has resulted in the emergence of many East Asian characteristics in Vietnamese culture, and generally Vietnam is said to be a part of the East Asian cultural sphere, known widely as Chinese cultural sphere. Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many distinct customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese culture, there is also a much smaller influence from the Cham and later Western cultures, most notably of France, Russia and the United States In term of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the ancient Dong Son Culture to be one of the defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization. Vietnam’s population in 2006 was 84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per km2. Most people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong deltas. Due to the nation’s southward expansion throughout its history, along with the different climate and environment met by the settlers as they moved further south, slightly different regional cultures began to emerge, most notably between Northern and Southern Vietnam. 71.
