IV. READING

Read the text and choose the correct answer.

The city of Beijing has such a big problem with its air quality that there are days when you can't see the buildings on the other side of the street. More and more people suffer from chest pain and have difficulty breathing. Children and the elderly are most at risk.

Last week, a Smog Free Tower was built in the arts district of Beijing. It is part of an air purifying project by Daan Roosegaarde from Holland and is designed to take in smog and release clean air. The seven-metre-high tower resembles the kind of air purifier you may have in your house. Roosegaarde describes it as the largest smog vacuum cleaner in the world.

The Smog Free Tower was created by Roosegaarde and a green tech company in the Netherlands. It runs on renewable power. Smog particles that are dangerous to health are collected and stored inside the tower. The tower then blows out cleaner air. Roosegaarde uses the collected smog particles to make jewellery. When you buy a Smog Free Ring or a pair of cufflinks, you buy 1,000 cubic metres of clean air.

Roosegaarde got the idea for the Smog Free Project when he visited Beijing in 2013. One day, he looked out of his hotel window and he simply couldn't see anything. The city had disappeared under a thick layer of smog.

Roosegaarde and the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection are planning to set up 800 of his giant air purifiers in parks all over China to raise awareness of the huge problem of pollution. He believes that both citizens and the government need to work together to fight pollution. His dream is that in ten to fifteen years from now, we won't need his towers anymore.

31. According to the text, who suffers most from air pollution?

A. Adults                   

B. Children                

C. The elderly           

D. Both B & C

32. What does the Smog Free Tower look like?

A. Smog                     

B. A home air purifier

C. A vacuum cleaner  

D. Particles

33. What sort of things can you make with smog particles?

A. Jewellery               

B. Cufflink                 

C. Renewable power  

D. Clean air    

34. What made Roosegaarde want to design the Smog Free Tower?

A. The support of the Netherlands’ government       

B. Air pollution in Beijing

C. The help of the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection

D. Beijing’s citizens

35. What is the best title for the text?

A. Air Quality in the District of Beijing

B. Roosegaarde and His New Inventions

C. The Tower That Sucks in Smog and Spits out Clean Air

D. Roosegaarde’s Wildest Dreams

E. But a home is a house full of people with their favourite rooms.

What makes your house a home?

In English, the words ‘house’ and ‘home’ do not have the same meaning. In towns and cities, a modern house is a building with four walls and a roof above it, often on a street with many other houses. (21)__________ People can dine in the kitchen, sleep in the bedrooms, take a shower in the bathroom, and relax in the living room.

(22)__________ For example, my favourite room is my bedroom. It has all my things in it so it’s not very spacious, but I really love it. My mum loves reading in the charming living room. Tom, the cat, lies under her feet by the hot fireplace. And my dad can cook pretty well so he’s usually in the kitchen.

(23)__________ Of course, I miss all my music, my games, and my books, but I also miss family routines. Our house is rather noisy in the mornings before work or school. Then, when I get back in the evening, Tom jumps on me with his dirty cat feet, and there is the fantastic smell of the food in the kitchen.

So, home is the people and animals who live in a house, and the objects in the rooms that are special to us. It’s the activities we do, our feelings, and the familiar surroundings. Home is also the community we are part of. Every summer, there’s a big party in our street. When new people move in, they have a housewarming party with all the neighbours. (24)__________

by Minh Trang, student and future journalist
