6. READING COMPREHENSION: Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are TRUE or FALSE (1.5 pts)

Nowadays our modern life is full of mass media. Normally, our day always begins with a newspaper, a print paper, delivered to us with our morning cup of tea or coffee. Some of us switch on the radio or TV while getting ready for the day. Many try to look for the daily news on their smart phones with some cigarettes. Others stop to buy some newspaper on the way to work because they want to read whenever they can. Some are at office work, using their computers to surf the internet and search the information they like. So, I wonder if there is no means of the media for our life, how will we become? And that's the reason why we need the latest daily news around the world. To me, as we are lucky to live in a modern hi-tech world, we easily contact anyone else through the internet. Actually, we can work at home after work or while going outside we're able to manage to check and reply our e-mails like we used to see our mail boxes.

Một trong những vấn đề môi trường cấp bách nhất trên thế giới hiện nay (17) là tình trạng thiếu nước sạch. Có nước sạch sinh hoạt là quyền cơ bản của con người. Nhưng mưa axit, ô nhiễm công nghiệp và rác thải đã khiến nhiều nguồn nước (18) không thể uống được. Các hồ, hồ chứa và thậm chí toàn bộ vùng biển đã trở thành nguồn độc hại nghiêm trọng. Hồ Baikal ở Nga là một trong những hồ lớn nhất thế giới. Nó chứa (19) nhiều loài động vật và thực vật phong phú, bao gồm 1.300 loài quý hiếm không tồn tại ở bất kỳ nơi nào khác trên thế giới. Nhưng chúng đang bị phá hủy bởi khối lượng lớn chất thải công nghiệp (20) mà đổ vào hồ mỗi ngày. Ngay cả khi luật pháp tồn tại, chính phủ cũng không có quyền thực thi chúng. Hầu hết các ngành công nghiệp chỉ đơn giản là bỏ qua các quy định. Biển Địa Trung Hải chiếm 1% diện tích mặt nước của thế giới. Nhưng nó lại là bãi rác của 50% tổng số ô nhiễm môi trường biển. Nước miễn phí (21) cho tất cả mọi người. Cách đây vài năm, người ta nghĩ rằng nguồn cung cấp nước sạch trên thế giới là vô hạn. Ngày nay, nhiều nguồn cung cấp nước đã bị hủy hoại do ô nhiễm và nước thải. Nước sạch hiện nay đang khan hiếm, và (22) ít nhất chúng ta cũng bắt đầu tôn trọng nguồn nước quý giá này. Chúng ta nên làm gì đó ngay bây giờ.
