Dịch bài đọc:
Mọi người đều mong giảm thiểu ô nhiễm. Nhưng vấn đề ô nhiễm là phức tạp như đúng tính nghiêm trọng của nó. Nó phức tạp bởi vì phần lớn ô nhiễm được gây ra bởi những thứ mang lại lợi ích con người. Chẳng hạn, khí thải từ ô tô gây nên phần lớn lượng ô nhiễm không khí. Nhưng ô tô lại cung cấp việc đi lại cho hàng triệu người. Các nhà máy thải ra phần lớn các chất làm ô nhiễm không khí, nhưng các nhà máy lại tạo ra việc làm cho rất nhiều người.
Vì vậy, để dừng hoặc giảm thiểu đáng kể ô nhiễm ngay lập tức, mọi người cần phải dừng việc sử dụng những thứ có lợi cho họ. Tất nhiên phần lớn mọi người đều không muốn làm như vậy. Nhưng ô nhiễm có thể được giảm thiểu từ từ bằng nhiều cách. Các nhà khoa học và các kỹ sư có thể nghiên cúu để tìm ra cách giảm thiểu lượng ô nhiễm mà các ô tô và nhà máy thải ra. Chính phủ cần thông qua và ban hành những đạo luật yêu cầu các việc kinh doanh và giao thông chấm dứt hoặc cắt giảm những hoạt động gây ô nhiễm nhất định.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase their children’s language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.
A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggy doing?” rather than, “Is the doggy running away?” Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their children’s answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.
What conclusion can be drawn from this passage?
