TAPESCRIPT
Water is very necessary to people and other living things. Without water, people, animal and plants cannot live. And if there were no plants, water would run off after it rains; and this would cause a lot of floods. But nature has many ways of consening and controlling water. Water can be held on the land by planting vegetation. Forests and grass should be planted in where there are no natural growths. Dams built across rivers help hold back the water. Reservoirs behind the dams store water during wet seasons for use in dry seasons. Dams help prevent floods by controlling the flow of water.

II. READING
Read the passace and answer the questions. (Đọc kĩ đoạn văn và trả lời các câu hỏi.)
Air, water, and soil are necessary to the survival of all living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of the soil reduces the amount of land that is available for growing food. The pollution problem is very complicated because much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. For example, exhaust from automobiles causes a large percentage of air pollution. But the automobile provides transportation for millions of people. Factories discharge much of the material that pollutes the air and water, but factories give employment to a large number of people. Thus, to end or greatly reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many things that benefit them. Pollution can be gradually reduced in several ways. Scientists and engineers can work to find ways to lessen the amount of pollution that such things as automobiles and factories cause. Governments can pass and enforce laws that require businesses and individuals to stop, or to cut down on certain polluting activities.
Dịch bài:
Không khí, nước và đất cần thiết cho sự sống còn của tất cả các sinh vật. Không khí bị ô nhiễm nặng có thể xảy ra bệnh tật và thậm chí tử vong. Nước ô nhiễm giết chết cá và các sinh vật biển khác. Ô nhiễm đất làm giảm số lượng đất có sẵn để trồng cây lương thực, vấn đề ô nhiễm môi trường rất phức tạp bởi vì ô nhiễm nhiều gây ra bởi những thứ mang lại lợi ích cho mọi người. Ví dụ, khí thải từ ô tô gây ra một tỉ lệ lớn ô nhiễm không khí. Tuy nhiên, ô tô cung cấp giao thông vận tải cho hàng triệu người. Nhà máy xả nhiều vật liệu gây ô nhiễm không khí và nước, nhưng các nhà máy cung cấp việc làm cho một số lượng lớn người dân. Vì vậy, để chấm dứt hay giảm đáng kể ô nhiễm ngay lập tức, mọi người sẽ phải ngưng sử dụng nhiều thứ có lợi cho họ. Ô nhiễm có thể sẽ được giảm dần theo nhiều cách. Các nhà khoa học và các kĩ sư có thể làm việc để tìm cách giảm bớt lượng ô nhiễm mà những thứ như xe ô tô và các nhà máy gây ra. Chính phủ có thể thông qua và thực thi luật yêu cầu các doanh nghiệp và cá nhân phải ngưng hoặc cắt giảm một số hoạt động gây ô nhiễm môi trường.
