THE WILDLIFE
Wild animals, plants and the wild places where they live are seriously threatened. One species has become extinct in each year
of this century. But many hundreds are now in danger. Lack of attention would lead to the rapid advance of the process of
extinction.
Already many kinds of wild animals have been so reduced in number that their role in the ecosystem is forgotten. Animals like
the great apes, the whales, seals etc. are thought to be in danger of extinction.
But even more important, perhaps than individual kinds of animals and plants, whole habitats are in danger of vanishing:
marshes are being drained, and the world forests, especially tropical forests are being cut down to satisfy man's needs of timber
and paper.

To a European, money means power, the freedom to do as he likes, which also means that, consciously or unconsciously, he says:
“I want to have as much money as possible myself and others to have as little money as possible.”
In the United States, wealth was also acquired by stealing, but the real exploited victim was not a human being but poor
Mother Earth and her creatures who were ruthlessly plundered. It is true that the Indians were expropriated or exterminated, but
this was not, as it has always been in Europe, a matter of the conqueror seizing the wealth of the conquered, for the Indian had
never realized the potential riches of his country. It is also true that, in the Southern states, men lived on the labor of slaves, but
slave labor did not make them fortunes; what made slavery in the South all the more inexcusable was that, in addition to being
morally wicked, it didn’t even pay off handsomely.
Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making
more money than his father, so that, if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient. What an American
values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as proof of his manhood; once he has proved
himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away. In no society in history have rich men given away so
large a part of their fortunes. A poor American feels guilty at being poor, but less guilty than an American renter who had
inherited wealth but is doing nothing to increase it; what can the latter do but take to drink and psychoanalysis?
Câu 58: Which of the following can be concluded from the first paragraph?
A. Some people not only want to get rich but wish others to be poor.
B. Money is made either consciously or unconsciously.
C. Some European acquire money and power without even being conscious of it.
D. Those who have a lot of money enjoy real freedom.
Câu 59: To an American, money means ___________.
A. The freedom to do whatever he likes B. proof of ability and manhood
C. diligence and efficiency D. "proof of ability and manhood" and "diligence and efficiency"
Câu 60: The author seems to believe that the natural resources in the U.S. are _________.

A. human beings can live independently from other species B. children can grow up without their parents' care
C. growth is limited D. the more people survive on earth, the more resources are used
Câu 66: According to Albert Einstein, without bees ____________.
A. all human beings would die immediately B. human life on earth would be better
C. man would disappear soon D. human beings could survive in only 4 years
Câu 67: Which action is NOT referred in the text?
A. We are raising more and more bees. B. We are cutting down forests.
C. We are polluting the air and water. D. We are plundering the oceans.
