III. Read the following  passage and do the tasks below :  

HURRICANE KATRINA

New Orleans, in Louisiana, is known as the most unique city in the United States with distinctive architecture, cross-cultural heritage and annual music festivals.

However, due to its location along the Mississippi River with lakes on the other side, and nearly half of the city below sea level, the city faces the danger of flooding. So, a levee system and drainage canals were built to protect the city.

Early in the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina, the most destructive natural disaster in the history of New Orleands, struck the city. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rains for several days. As a result water from the river and lakes rose, breaking the levees and poured directly into the city. Soon 80 percent of the city was under water. People scrambled to rooftops for safety, desperate for food and drinking water. The winds were so strong that even beds in Hyatt Hotel were seen flying out of the hotel windows. The loss was ‘tremendous’. Most of the major roads and bridges were destroyed and houses collapsed. Nearly 2,000 people were killed. After the storm, several natural grounds for the breeding and migrating of different species of animals and birds were permanently lost.

A hurricane is a huge storm that forms over warm ocean water. Bands of thunderstorms form and swirl around and around because the rotation of the earth. As more and more thunderstorms form, the hurricane gets bigger and bigger. A hurricane is one of the world's worst storms because it can last for days or weeks.

Hurricanes can also be very large. They may cover hundreds of miles and affect large areas of land. For a storm to be classified as a hurricane, wind speeds within the storm have to reach at least 74 per hour. But hurricane winds can reach speeds of over 155 miles per hour! A large amount of destruction may occur with winds that strong. Roofs may be torn off homes. Buildings may be flattened. Trees topple over. Hurricanes are deadly, but not just because of their winds. They can also produce very heavy rains and huge waves that slam into the coastline. Hurricanes are very common along the east coast of the United States. Here, wind, waves, and rain do the most damage.

Luckily, meteorologists (people who study weather) can forecast hurricanes days in advance by using radar technology. Radar is a little bit like a moving picture. It shows how big storms are and which way they are moving. Radar images people time to prepare for a coming storm. If the storm is very strong, home and business owners will put up plywood to protect their glass windows and doors. People who live along the coast will evacuate. They'll go to a hurricane shelter or stay with friends and relatives who live in safer places farther inland. Many lives are saved every year by people who take the necessary precautions.

Question28. What is a hurricane?

A. a tidal wave B. a huge storm C. a thunderstorm D. a tsunami

Question 29. What makes a hurricane?

A. thunderstorms B. strong winds C. seawater D. the earth rotation

Question 30. What of the following is not correct?

A. A hurricane is very dangerous because it lasts for days and weeks.

B. The hurricane wind speeds per hour can be nearly twice as fast as the wind speeds.

C. A hurricane can reach speeds of at least 74 km per hour.

D. Hurricanes often appear along the east coast of the United States.

Question 31. Who is meteorologist?

A. People study weather.

B. People do businesses in the meteorological field.

C. People live along the coast.

D. People are evacuated from the regions affected by hurricanes.

Question 32. What is radar used for?

There are two types of air pollution. That is the outdoor air pollution caused by factories, automobiles and biological matter. We most commonly associate air pollution with smog and acid rain. That is of course a problem and you might be surprised how aware children are of the air pollution concerns. However, there is also indoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution causes just as many health problems around the globe as outdoor air pollution. And because many people are not aware of it, they suffer unnecessarily. According to the World Health Organization, 2.4 million people die each year from air pollution and 1.5 million of these deaths are caused by indoor air pollution. Educating young  kids about  air pollution can be an efficient solution to this alarming worldwide issue because it can make them somewhat aware of air pollution. They may have heard about the greenhouse effect, global warming and acid rain. These problems may be  frightening for children to hear. However, children also have the power to make changes both inside their home and globally.

Rising sea levels are threatening parts of the Egyptian coastal city of Alexandria. Alexander the Great established the city more than 2,000 years ago. In that time, it has survived invasions, fires and earthquakes. But, Alexandria now faces severe flooding from rising waters blamed on climate change.

Alexandria is Egypt’s second largest city, with more than 5 million people. It is also an important port and home to about 40 percent of Egypt’s industrial activity. The city is surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea and sits next to a lake.

Officials have built concrete barriers in the sea in an effort to reduce the force of waves. A severe storm in 2015 flooded large parts of the city. At least six people were killed in the flooding, which also caused the collapse of many homes.

The United Nations has warned that worldwide sea levels could rise by 0.98 meters by 2100, with “serious implications for coastal cities, deltas and low-lying states.”

Mực nước biển dâng cao đang đe dọa một phần của thành phố ven biển

Alexandria của Ai Cập. Alexander Đại đế đã thành lập thành phố hơn 2.000 năm trước. Trong thời gian đó, nó đã sống sót sau các cuộc xâm lược, hỏa hoạn và động đất. Nhưng, Alexandria bây giờ phải đối mặt với lũ lụt nghiêm trọng từ vùng nước dâng cao đổ lỗi cho biến đổi khí hậu.Alexandria là thành phố lớn thứ hai của Ai Cập, với hơn 5 triệu người. Đây cũng là một cảng quan trọng và là ngôi nhà của khoảng 40% hoạt động công nghiệp của Ai Cập. Thành phố được bao quanh ba phía bởi biển Địa Trung Hải và nằm cạnh một hồ nước.

Các quan chức đã xây dựng các hàng rào bê tông trên biển trong nỗ lực giảm lực của sóng. Một cơn bão nghiêm trọng vào năm 2015 đã làm ngập lụt một phần lớn của thành phố. Ít nhất sáu người đã thiệt mạng trong trận lụt, điều này cũng gây ra sự sụp đổ của nhiều ngôi nhà.

Liên Hợp Quốc đã cảnh báo rằng mực nước biển trên toàn thế giới có thể tăng 0,98 mét vào năm 2100, với những hệ lụy nghiêm trọng đối với các thành phố ven biển, đồng bằng châu thổ và các quốc gia trũng thấp.
