Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation, blindness and even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild mental retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems.

142English 9


This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to lead-based paint. Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when the children ingest flakes of chipped paint, plaster or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nail biting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although American paint companies nowadays must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint, this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous. Children living in order, diapidated houses are particularly at risk.

A. problems with household paint B. major health concern for children

C. lead poisoning in children D. lead paint in order homes

A. experience B. reveal C. feel pain from D. grieve with

3. According to the passage, what is the most common source of lead poisoning in children?

A. household dust B. lead-based paint C. painted toys D. dilapidated houses

4. What does the author imply in the final sentence of the passage?

A. Lead-based paint chips off more easily than newer paints.

B. Poor people did not comply with the regulations

C. Old homes were painted with lead – based paint.

D. Old homes need to be rebuilt in order to be safe for children.

5. Which of the following is not true?

A. Only high dose of lead can have serious effects.

B. American paint companies today must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint.

C. Lead poisoning can lead to mental retardation.

D. Lead poisoning in children was linked to lead – based paint in the 1990s.

English is one of the most popular languages in the world. It comes second in the number of speakers after Chinese. In Viet Nam, more and more people are studying English, considering it a key to success. However, not everyone knows how to learn English effectively.

The best way to improve the four skills, speaking, listening, reading, and writing, is to practice regularly. You should make use of every opportunity to speak English with friends in class or at English speaking clubs or even with yourselves in front of the mirror. Learning by heart all the words does not help much if you do not read a lot because you will easily forget what you have learnt. Reading books, listening to radio and watching films are better ways to memorize words. Besides, English learners should not be so shy because making mistakes is unavoidable in learning foreign languages. Practicing speaking a lot is a good way to correct your mistakes.

(29-32) Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are True or False. Write True or False in your answer sheet:

The word UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. UFOs are strange objects that some people claim to have seen in the sky and believe UFOs are spacecraft from another planet. Many other people consider them just as atmospheric phenomena, hallucinations or tricks of light.

Some people believe that UFOs are real objects, not hallucinations. Some people even claimed they themselves had seen a UFO and man-like creatures on it. The UFO was able to turn round, stop in mid-air and go up very quickly. It flew at remarkably speed. In 1971, two men claimed that aliens from a UFO had captured and taken them aboard. These aliens examined them and then freed them afterwards.

Hundreds of UFO sightings have been reported. No one can be sure when these reports will finish. Are we alone in the universe? We hope the question will be answered in the near future.

When a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood strikes, time is often a critical factor in providing needed food, water and shelter for people who are suddenly homeless and exposed to the elements.

Lifts stopped working, so that even if you were lucky enough not to be trapped between two floors, you had the unpleasant task of finding your way down hundreds of flights of stairs.

Children’s education is changing rapidly today. In the past, teachers made children sit still for hours. They made them memorize all sorts of things. In other words, children had to go on repeating things until they knew them by heart. Today, many teachers wonder if it is possible to make children learn at all. They say you can only help them learn. They say you must let children learn and discover things for themselves.
