VII. Read the following passage, then make up questions and then answer them.
Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspapers, we hear, see, or read about many problems in the world,
for example, pollution problems.
Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains,
and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city where many
people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing in
the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and
factory wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing the fish, but is also affecting those
people who eat fish.
Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more difficult every day.
We must find a good solution that makes the world a better place to live.

VII. Read the passage carefully, then decide if the following sentences are true (T) or false (F).
In the Pacific Ocean there are many volcanoes. Their tops form islands. The rich volcanic soil grows fruit and
vegetables abundantly. People do not find it difficult to live on these islands, for the abundant plant life
makes food easy to get and warm climate makes heavy clothing and well-built houses unnecessary. In August
1883, the peaceful island of Krakatoa lay in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. The native people
were going about their daily tasks, giving little thought to the mountain which towered above their island
home. Almost without warning, there came a terrific explosion, probably the most gigantic ever seen by man.
In an instant, the mountain disappeared in a mighty cloud of dust. Huge masses of lava were thrown in every
direction.
The force of the explosion sent out the giant water wave 100 feet high. It swept along the shores of nearby
islands, completely destroyed more than two hundred villages. Thousands of people were killed either by the
explosion or the wave.
