Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and

Europe, recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new

ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding was to use products a

second time. The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".

The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister

packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant

comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted

resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and

utensils đồ dùng, dụng cụ. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When

low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of

more resources and more energy. For example. if a customer buys a high-quality appliance

that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same

way. if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important

message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop.

The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable

bottles. After customers. empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of

the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is

necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for

money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass

and plastic from throwaway bottles.

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be

cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of

energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When

people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's

precious resources.
