Invasive species are the foreign plants or animals which come into a place and badly affect it. Invasive species can harm local living things and people's health.

In the 1970s, fish farmers brought silver carp into the United States with the hope to improve water quality in fish ponds. Many carp then escaped into the Mississippi River. They have gradually taken over the resources of paddlefish in the river. Their population have grown so rapidly that paddlefish don't have enough food and are dying out.

Water hyacinth, which is native to South America, came to Africa in the 1980s. At First, people planted it for its beautiful purple flowers. Since then, the plant has spread very quickly and covered Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa. Water hyacinth blocks the flow of lake water and creates homes for mosquitoes and insects.

Since invasive species cause many types of problems, there should be stricter laws to stop people from taking plants and animals to a new place.

A. Definition of invasive species.

B. Some troubles caused by invasive species.

C. How local environments affect new species.

D. The impact of invasive animals on local people.

2. How do silver carp affect paddlefish in the Mississippi River?

A. They eat paddlefish,

B. They become food for the paddlefish.

C. They use up most of the paddlefish's food.

D. They make the river water dirty.

3. People in Africa first used water hyacinth as a type of _______.

A. decorative plant

B. herb medicine

C. fish food

D. insect killer

4. Which of the following is true about water hyacinth in Lake Victoria?

A. It is poisonous to local people.

B. It feeds the paddlefish in the lake.

C. it helps clean up the lake water.

D. It allows mosquito populations to increase.

London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, is situated on the River Thames, which meanders through the city. It is renowned for its numerous bridges. Among the bridges, the oldest one is London Bridge, which was originally built of wood but reconstructed in stone in 1217. However, the most unique bridge is Tower Bridge, which was designed to blend in with the nearby Tower of London.

London is a thriving commercial and cultural centre with many significant financial organisations such as the Bank of England and the London Stock Exchange. They are located in the area called the City. Docklands, the former port in east London, has been redeveloped as a business centre. The West End boasts theatres, cinemas, museums, and stores. Due to the high cost of housing near the city centre, many people working in London prefer to live in the suburbs and commute to work by train or bus. London’s transportation system is well-connected, with various modes of transportation available, including the red London buses, black taxi cabs, and the London Underground, commonly known as ‘the Tube’!

London is now a cosmopolitan, multicultural city which has attracted people from around the globe. Although some people from other parts of Britain view it as very noisy and dirty, many others visit London only for the ‘bright lights’ - the theatres round Shaftesbury Avenue or the shops of Oxford Street. People also take their children to visit Buckingham Palace, where the royal family lives, and the clock tower, from which Big Ben tolls the hour. Young people, on the other hand, are lured to the pubs and comedy clubs of Covent Garden, live music concerts, and the stalls of Camden market.

Tạm dịch bài đọc:

Luân Đôn, thủ đô của Anh và Vương quốc Anh, nằm trên sông Thames, uốn khúc qua thành phố. Nó nổi tiếng với nhiều cây cầu. Trong số các cây cầu, cây cầu cổ nhất là Cầu London, ban đầu được xây bằng gỗ nhưng được xây dựng lại bằng đá vào năm 1217. Tuy nhiên, cây cầu độc đáo nhất là Cầu Tháp, được thiết kế để hòa hợp với Tháp London gần đó.

London là một trung tâm thương mại và văn hóa thịnh vượng với nhiều tổ chức tài chính quan trọng như Ngân hàng Anh và Sở giao dịch chứng khoán London. Chúng nằm trong khu vực được gọi là The City. Docklands, cảng cũ ở phía đông London, đã được tái phát triển thành trung tâm thương mại. West End tự hào có nhà hát, rạp chiếu phim, bảo tàng và cửa hàng. Do chi phí nhà ở gần trung tâm thành phố cao, nhiều người làm việc ở London thích sống ở vùng ngoại ô và đi làm bằng tàu hỏa hoặc xe buýt. Hệ thống giao thông của London được kết nối tốt với nhiều phương thức vận chuyển khác nhau, bao gồm xe buýt London màu đỏ, taxi màu đen và Tàu điện ngầm London, thường được gọi là ‘the Tube’!

London hiện là một thành phố quốc tế, đa văn hóa, thu hút mọi người từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Mặc dù một số người từ các vùng khác của nước Anh coi thành phố này rất ồn ào và bẩn thỉu, nhưng nhiều người khác đến thăm London chỉ vì ‘những ánh đèn rực rỡ’ - những nhà hát quanh Đại lộ Shaftesbury hoặc các cửa hàng trên Phố Oxford. Mọi người cũng đưa con cái đến thăm Cung điện Buckingham, nơi gia đình hoàng gia sinh sống và tháp đồng hồ, nơi Big Ben rung chuông. Mặt khác, giới trẻ bị thu hút đến các quán rượu và câu lạc bộ hài kịch ở Covent Garden, các buổi hòa nhạc trực tiếp và các quầy hàng ở chợ Camden.

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we would probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we kept a book and wrote in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer. In a way, this is similar to history.

Most people are proud to tell you what their ancestors did in the past. We may call this remembered history. But many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes people kept a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a lot about the people who lived in China about 2,500 years ago because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know little about the people who lived just 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had no writing system.

Sometimes, even if people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs, dances, and stories have been made about the most important past events, and these have been sung about, acted and told for generations.

Tạm dịch bài đọc:

Nếu được hỏi chính xác chúng ta đã làm gì một năm trước, có lẽ chúng ta sẽ phải nói rằng chúng ta không thể nhớ được. Nhưng nếu chúng ta giữ một cuốn sách và viết vào đó những gì chúng ta đã làm mỗi ngày, chúng ta sẽ có thể đưa ra câu trả lời. Ở một khía cạnh nào đó, điều này tương tự như lịch sử.

Hầu hết mọi người đều tự hào kể cho bạn nghe những gì tổ tiên họ đã làm trong quá khứ. Chúng ta có thể gọi đây là lịch sử được ghi nhớ. Nhưng nhiều điều đã bị lãng quên vì chúng ta không có tài liệu nào viết về chúng. Đôi khi người ta lưu giữ những ghi chép về những sự kiện quan trọng nhất xảy ra ở đất nước họ, nhưng nó thường bị phá hủy do hỏa hoạn hoặc chiến tranh. Đôi khi không bao giờ có bất kỳ bản ghi chép nào bởi vì người dân thời đó và ở nơi đó không biết viết. Ví dụ, chúng ta biết rất nhiều về những người sống ở Trung Quốc khoảng 2.500 năm trước vì họ có thể viết và để lại ghi chép cho những người sống sau họ. Nhưng chúng ta biết rất ít về những người sống cách đây 200 năm ở Trung Phi, vì họ không có hệ thống chữ viết.

Đôi khi, ngay cả khi người ta không thể viết, họ vẫn có thể biết được điều gì đó trong quá khứ. Họ đã nghe về nó từ những người lớn tuổi, và thường có những bài hát, điệu nhảy và câu chuyện về những sự kiện quan trọng nhất trong quá khứ, và những tư liệu này đã được hát, diễn và kể qua nhiều thế hệ.

Both of my parents love travelling, and they usually take us along. My mum told me that I started travelling with them when I was just four months old. It was a short trip to a city 120 kilometres away from our home town. Mum said I was a good girl since I ate and slept during the trip without ever crying.

Every year my family goes on different trips from 2 days to 2 weeks. We normally don’t stay in resorts. Instead we stay at homestays where we can get to know more about the life and culture of the people in those areas. We eat with them, watch them cook, and go hiking with them.

Sometimes we go abroad for our holidays. I still remember when I went to Disneyland in Hong Kong and later visited the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. I will never forget the moment seagulls took some snacks from my hands when we were sitting outside the Sydney Opera House.

I believe that when we travel together, we can strengthen our bonds and have great memories with our beloved family members.

Tạm dịch bài đọc:

Cả bố mẹ tôi đều thích đi du lịch và họ thường đưa chúng tôi đi cùng. Mẹ tôi nói với tôi rằng tôi bắt đầu đi du lịch cùng họ khi tôi mới bốn tháng tuổi. Đó là một chuyến đi ngắn đến một thành phố cách quê hương của chúng tôi 120 km. Mẹ nói tôi là một cô bé ngoan vì suốt chuyến đi tôi ăn và ngủ mà không bao giờ khóc.

Mỗi năm gia đình tôi đi các chuyến du lịch khác nhau từ 2 ngày đến 2 tuần. Chúng tôi thường không ở trong khu nghỉ dưỡng. Thay vào đó chúng tôi ở nhà dân, nơi chúng tôi có thể biết thêm về cuộc sống và văn hóa của người dân ở những khu vực đó. Chúng tôi ăn cùng họ, xem họ nấu ăn và đi bộ đường dài cùng họ.

Đôi khi chúng tôi đi ra nước ngoài để nghỉ lễ. Tôi vẫn nhớ khi đến Disneyland ở Hồng Kông và sau đó đến thăm Sở thú Taronga ở Sydney. Tôi sẽ không bao giờ quên khoảnh khắc những chú hải âu giật lấy đồ ăn nhẹ từ tay tôi khi chúng tôi đang ngồi bên ngoài Nhà hát Opera Sydney.

Tôi tin rằng khi đi du lịch cùng nhau, chúng tôi có thể thắt chặt tình cảm và có những kỷ niệm tuyệt vời với những người thân yêu trong gia đình của chúng tôi.

Digital technologies have remarkably changed teenagers’ life and work both positively and negatively. According to UNICEF, 71% of 15-24-year-olds are online and one third of Internet users are under 18 years old.

Teenagers benefit from the advances in technology. They have various devices like computers, tablets, smartphones, and applications to improve the ways they learn, broaden their relationships, and spend their leisure time. They have more opportunities to learn, get access to information, and use different communication channels inexpensively.

However, they also face many risks. First, there is a concern about children’s physical and mental health. Statistics show that teens spend less time doing physical activities, and many more teens suffer from obesity, bone and eye problems. Moreover, teens are also at risk of visiting websites which promote self-harm or suicide. In fact, cyber-bullying on the Internet has become more serious than bullying at school.

Schools and parents should guide children so that they can use devices wisely and not become victims of those devices and technologies.

Tạm dịch bài đọc:

Công nghệ số đã thay đổi đáng kể cuộc sống và công việc của thanh thiếu niên theo cả hướng tích cực và tiêu cực. Theo UNICEF, 71% thanh thiếu niên từ 15-24 tuổi trực tuyến và một phần ba người dùng Internet dưới 18 tuổi.

Thanh thiếu niên được hưởng lợi từ những tiến bộ của công nghệ. Họ có nhiều thiết bị như máy tính, máy tính bảng, điện thoại thông minh và các ứng dụng để cải thiện cách học tập, mở rộng các mối quan hệ và dành thời gian rảnh rỗi. Họ có nhiều cơ hội hơn để học tập, tiếp cận thông tin và sử dụng nhiều kênh truyền thông khác nhau với chi phí thấp.

Tuy nhiên, họ cũng phải đối mặt với nhiều rủi ro. Đầu tiên, có mối quan tâm về sức khỏe thể chất và tinh thần của trẻ em. Thống kê cho thấy thanh thiếu niên dành ít thời gian hơn cho các hoạt động thể chất và nhiều thanh thiếu niên mắc bệnh béo phì, các vấn đề về xương và mắt. Hơn nữa, thanh thiếu niên cũng có nguy cơ truy cập vào các trang web khuyến khích tự làm hại bản thân hoặc tự tử. Trên thực tế, bắt nạt trên mạng Internet đã trở nên nghiêm trọng hơn bắt nạt ở trường học.

Nhà trường và phụ huynh nên hướng dẫn trẻ em để chúng có thể sử dụng các thiết bị một cách khôn ngoan và không trở thành nạn nhân của những thiết bị và công nghệ đó.
