Câu hỏi:

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 12 to 19.

1. Many years ago, the central park in Greenfield was clean and beautiful. Families would visit on weekends, children played on the swings, and people enjoyed walking among the trees. However, in recent years, the park became dirty and full of trash because people stopped caring for it. Broken benches, empty bottles, and plastic bags covered the ground. The community regularly complained about the mess, yet no one made an effort to address it.

2. Everything changed when a group of teenagers decided to take action. They formed a volunteer organization called "Green Heroes" with the mission of bringing the park back to its former beauty. The group began by designing posters and posting on social media to raise awareness. Soon, their enthusiasm inspired many residents, including parents, children, and even elderly people, to join their efforts.

3. Every weekend, the volunteers brought gloves, garbage bags, and tools to the park. They picked up trash, removed weeds, and planted flowers and trees. Some volunteers repainted the fences and repaired broken benches. The group also set up signs to remind people not to litter. Within weeks, the transformation was remarkable. The park once again became a lively hub where families relaxed, children played, and the community came together.

4. The "Green Heroes" showed the community that small actions can bring big changes. Their hard work not only improved the park but also brought people closer together. Inspired by their success, other neighborhoods started their own projects, proving that teamwork can truly create a better community.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 26 to 35.

1. The microwave oven is a very common kitchen appliance today, but many people do not know that it was discovered by accident. In 1945, Percy Spencer, an engineer, was working on a project involving radar technology. He was testing a device called a magnetron, which generates microwaves. One day, while standing near the magnetron, he noticed something surprising. A chocolate bar in his pocket began to melt. What began as a surprising observation soon turned into a curiosity that drove him to study how microwaves might interact with food.

2. Percy Spencer decided to perform more experiments. [I] He placed popcorn kernels near the magnetron, and they started to pop. Then, he tried heating an egg. The egg exploded quickly, which was a clear sign that microwaves could generate heat. [II] These experiments showed that microwaves could cook food very efficiently. [III] Spencer realized that this discovery had the potential to change the way people prepared meals. [IV]

3. In 1947, the first microwave oven was introduced. However, it was far from the compact machines we use today. These early microwaves were enormous, about the size of refrigerators, and extremely expensive, costing thousands of dollars. They were mostly used in restaurants and by the military, as ordinary people could not afford them. Over the years, improvements were made to make the microwave smaller, more affordable, and easier to use. By the 1970s, microwave ovens started to appear in homes around the world.

4. Today, the microwave oven is an integral tool in many kitchens. It allows people to heat or cook food in just a few minutes. Percy Spencer’s accidental discovery reminds us that sometimes great inventions come from unexpected events. With curiosity and determination, even a simple observation can lead to something life-changing.
