answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
The environment we live in is facing many serious problems. We need to be aware of these problems so that we
can find ways to protect nature.
Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere. It is one of the biggest issues
facing humans today. It can have serious consequences such as rising sea levels, polar ice melting, and extreme
weather events like floods or heatwaves.
Another environmental problem is the cutting and clearing of natural forests. The loss of forests can have a
negative impact on the environment. It can damage the natural habitats of many animals and put wildlife in
danger. It can also destroy the natural soil and lead to climate change.
Air pollution is also a serious problem. It is mainly caused by waste gases that come out of vehicles, machines,
or factories. When these harmful gases combine with the water in the air, they come down as rain or snow,
which can damage all forms of life. In addition, this problem leads to global warming and climate change. It is
also a major cause of respiratory diseases or even lung cancer.
Around the world, the number of endangered animals is rising. Many of them disappear because of pollution
and climate change. In addition, humans illegally hunt and kill animals, and catch too many fish at once. This is
upsetting the natural balance of ecosystems, which can be harmful to all living and non-living things.
Môi trường chúng ta đang sống đang phải đối mặt với nhiều vấn đề nghiêm trọng. Chúng ta cần nhận thức được
những vấn đề này để có thể tìm ra cách bảo vệ thiên nhiên.
Hiện tượng nóng lên toàn cầu là sự gia tăng nhiệt độ trung bình của bầu khí quyển Trái đất. Đây là một trong
những vấn đề lớn nhất mà con người phải đối mặt ngày nay. Nó có thể gây ra những hậu quả nghiêm trọng như
mực nước biển dâng cao, băng ở hai cực tan chảy và các hiện tượng thời tiết khắc nghiệt như lũ lụt hoặc nắng
nóng.
Một vấn đề môi trường khác là việc chặt phá rừng tự nhiên. Việc mất rừng có thể tác động tiêu cực đến môi
trường. Nó có thể phá hủy môi trường sống tự nhiên của nhiều loài động vật và gây nguy hiểm cho động vật
hoang dã. Nó cũng có thể phá hủy đất tự nhiên và dẫn đến biến đổi khí hậu.
Ô nhiễm không khí cũng là một vấn đề nghiêm trọng. Nguyên nhân chủ yếu là do khí thải từ xe cộ, máy móc
hoặc nhà máy. Khi những loại khí độc hại này kết hợp với nước trong không khí, chúng sẽ rơi xuống dưới dạng
mưa hoặc tuyết, có thể gây hại cho mọi dạng sống. Ngoài ra, vấn đề này còn dẫn đến hiện tượng nóng lên toàn
cầu và biến đổi khí hậu. Đây cũng là nguyên nhân chính gây ra các bệnh về đường hô hấp hoặc thậm chí là ung
thư phổi.
Trên toàn thế giới, số lượng động vật có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng đang gia tăng. Nhiều loài trong số chúng biến mất
vì ô nhiễm và biến đổi khí hậu. Ngoài ra, con người săn bắt và giết động vật trái phép, và đánh bắt quá nhiều cá
cùng một lúc. Điều này làm mất cân bằng tự nhiên của hệ sinh thái, có thể gây hại cho tất cả các sinh vật sống
và không sống.

In this day and age, it’s inevitable that your kid will need a cell phone at some point. Buying a phone
for your kid is a big decision. Not only is it a financial investment, but you also need to consider Internet safety
and how kids can use electronics in a healthy way. “Today’s paretns are both blessed and cursed by technology
options made available to their children,’’ says Titania Jordan, the chief parenting officer of parental-control app
Bark. “While the ability to locate and communicate with your children in real-time is incredible, the ability of
others to do so can be frightening and dangerous.”
When considering which cell phone to buy for your child, consider their age, the intended users of the
phone, and the parental control options. If your teen juda m st started driving, a smartphone with a built in GPS
and full calling abilities in case of emergency may be a good bet. For a younger kid, a simple phone with no
internet access that lets them text their parents may be all they need. You may even decide they don’t need a
phone quite yet but can instead use a smart watch to text you and make short phone calls with approved
contacts. To find the best cell phones for kids, we surveyed nearly 500 parents to learn about the phones they
have bought for their own kids, as well as how their families navigate technology use. We also spoke to the
Internet safety experts that specialize in kids’ safe use of phones. Additionally, we reviewed guidance from the
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) regarding when to give your child a cell phone.
Question 31: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The pros and cons of children using cell phones
B. How to choose the best cell phone for your child
C. The importance of Internet safety for kids
D. The role of parental-control apps in protecting children
Question 32: What should parents consider when buying a smartphone for their kids?
A. Its material B. the child’s age C. its contact list D. its GPS
Question 33: What does Titania Jordan suggest?
A. Technology is just another burden for parents
B. Parents should spend more time communicating to their children
C. Parents should beware of strangers using technology to locate their children
D. Children should only be allowed to use phone to text their parents
Question 34: These methods have been used to figure out the right cell phone for kids EXCEPT
A. Internet safety experts C. guidance from AAP
B. Survey of parents’ view D. cell phone companies
