MY MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE
As a sale manager, I often take business trips to some countries. Of course, I prefer to
travel by plane due to its advantages. I really had many safe and pleasant flights.
However, everything happened on my flight last month still remained a fright to me.
I remember that I was with about 250 passengers on the plane flying from Guadalajara to
Mexico city. When the plane took off from Guadalajara, the wind was blowing hard and
it was raining heavily. Some passengers around me appeared the sign of nervousness, and
so did I. The plane was all right for about thirty minutes. I was listening to the airplane's
radio. Other people were talking and exchanging information. The stewardesses were
serving drinks and food to the passengers. Looking out of the window, I saw masses of
dense black clouds flying past. Suddenly, lightening struck one of the engines. The plane
dropped rapidly. Some people were screaming and the stewardesses were falling down.
From the cabin, the co-pilot's voice was heard to require passengers to fasten their
seatbelts and keep calm. Some passengers couldn't control their fear, they shouted for
help.
Though I got used to this experience, my heart was beating very fast and I was trembling
with fear. I thought I was going to die. But my fear didn't last long. After about thirty
seconds, the pilots started the engine. Everyone on the plane heaved a deep sign of relief.
We landed safely at last.
That time I had to cancel my return flight. I took a sea voyage instead. I thought I would
never fly in bad weather condition.

is generally sung. A birthday party may be an event planned carefully through a special
agency or through a party service.

A house-warming party is held on the occasion of moving into a new residence. It is an

Today I'd like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth. First we'll
touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably
remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to
all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of
oxygen, is regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists
suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of
the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray
cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from theses fuorocrabons can account
for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies
linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We'll go into that new study
more next time.
Câu 1: Who is the most likely speaker?
A. A mechanic B. A professor C. A doctor D. A chemist
Câu 2: What is the speaker's main topic?
A. Fluorocarbons and ozone layer B. Ultraviolet
C. Air-conditioning systems D. The uses of spray cans
Câu 3: What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?
A. Providing fluorocarbons B. Shielding the sun
C. Protecting the earth D. Destroying chemicals
Câu 4: What is the ozone layer made of?
