Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 

     Do you like tuna? People in many countries like to eat tuna whether it is canned, cooked, or raw. Unfortunately, humans are now eating too much tuna, and some species are becoming rare.

     The name “tuna” refers to over 48 species of carnivorous fish that live in Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Mediterranean oceans. The most important commercial species of tuna are yellowfin, bluefin, bigeye, albacore, and skipjack. Skipjack makes up the majority of canned tuna, while the other species are served either raw or cooked. 

     While the fishing of skipjack tuna is currently sustainable, it is widely accepted that the other species have been severely overfished. In particular, bluefin tuna stocks are now at risk of collapse. From 1976 to 2006, the population of bluefin decreased by 92%. Overfishing continues despite repeated warnings. In 2009, scientists recommended that the quota for northern bluefin tuna be set at 7,500 tonnes, but the Atlantic Tuna Commision set it at 16,000 tonnes. Even this limit was ignored, with the total catch of Atlantic bluefin estimated to be 60,000 tonnes in 2009. 

     The reason for this over-fishing is that yellowfin, bluefin, and bigeye tuna are prized for use as sashimi (raw fish). This makes them very valuable. In 2011, a bluefin tuna weighing 342 kilograms was sold in Tokyo for 32,49 million yen (USD 396,000). Recently, the sashimi-tuna species have become so rare, and their price is so high that many sashimi restaurants have had to close.

     In response to decreasing tuna stocks, scientists have been trying to breed tuna in captivity. In 2009, an Austrian company succeeded in breeding southern bluefin tuna in land-based tanks. This is an important development because tuna farming currently relies on raising juvenile tuna that are caught in the wild.  Catching these juvenile tuna makes overfishing even worse. 

     Everyone needs to work together to help the wild tuna survive. You can help to save the wild tuna, too.  Next time you have tuna, check to make sure you aren’t eating a wild bluefin, yellowfin, or bigeye. Hopefully, if we all play our part, it won’t be too long before stocks of tuna recover to their former levels.

It is stated in the passage that many sashimi restaurants closed down because _________.

A. bluefin tuna sashimi is not very popular 

B. bluefin tuna are extinct 

C. bluefin tuna has become expensive and rare 

Đáp án chính xác

D. people liked canned or cooked tuna more

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 

     What makes people give money to charity? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. For example, religious institutions receive the highest percentage of donations in the United States. Colleges and universities often receive gifts from successful graduates who want to widen educational opportunities for other students or support research on an issue they feel is important. Hospital and medical research organizations are often supported by donors who have been affected by a medical problem, either directly or through the experience of family members or friends.  Many donors give to causes that have touched them personally in some way. 

     Charitable gifts can also be made for reasons involving personal interest. Under U.S. tax law, an individual does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them. For instance, new buildings at colleges and universities are often named after important donors, which means that they will be remembered for their generosity for many years to come. 

The word "they" in paragraph 1 refers to __________.
