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 from 35 to 42.
Pollution emitted in industrial areas represents a threat to human health and the surrounding natural resources. We have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of environmental damage, and often forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production practices. We may think that the closure of these huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the remaining waste, which is abandoned and poorly stored. It represents an even bigger danger because it stands neglected as it degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all.
Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an ecosystem. It can affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of food up through the food chain. It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in contaminated water. In addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate contaminants in their bodies. When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.
Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the ground by manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may rise to the surface through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth. In many parts of fhe world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses, agriculture, and industry.
Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots. Eating, breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up soil contaminants can badly affect the health of humans and animals.
Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants are absorbed from the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm animals and humans when they contact the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the air.

A. a danger to the environment
B. the only source of pollution
C. the utmost harmful activity
D. a threat to human health

Dịch bài đọc:
Ô nhiễm trong lĩnh vực công nghiệp là mối đe dọa đối với sức khoẻ con người và các nguồn tài nguyên thiên nhiên xung quanh. Chúng ta có khuynh hướng tin tưởng rằng quá trình sản xuất là nguồn gây ra thiệt hại về môi trường duy nhất và thường quên đi những ảnh hưởng lâu dài có thể xảy ra đối với các hoạt động sản xuất có hại. Chúng ta có thể nghĩ rằng việc đóng cửa các khu công nghiệp lớn này sẽ cải thiện chất lượng môi trường. Thật không may, điều này đã bỏ qua mối đe dọa của chất thải hiện có, chúng bị đào thải và kém trong việc lưu trữ. Nó đại diện cho một nguy hiểm lớn hơn bởi vì nó bị lãng quên khi nó giảm và rò rỉ vào đất mà không có bất kỳ kiểm soát nào cả.
Những thay đổi trong hóa học nước do ô nhiễm nước bề mặt có thể ảnh hưởng đến tất cả các cấp của một hệ sinh thái. Nó có thể ảnh hưởng đến sức khoẻ của các sinh vật chuỗi thức ăn thấp, và theo đó là sự sẵn có của thức ăn thông qua chuỗi thức ăn. Nó có thể làm hại vùng đất ngập nước và làm hư hại khả năng hỗ trợ các hệ sinh thái lành mạnh, kiểm soát lũ lụt, và lọc các chất gây ô nhiễm khi bão lũ. Sức khoẻ của động vật và con người bị ảnh hưởng khi họ uống hoặc tắm trong nước bị ô nhiễm. Ngoài ra, các sinh vật sống dưới nước, như cá và động vật có vỏ, có thể chất đống lên và tập trung các chất gây ô nhiễm trong cơ thể của chúng. Khi các động vật hoặc con người ăn các sinh vật này, họ sẽ tiếp nhận một lượng chất gây ô nhiễm cao hơn nhiều so với khi họ bị nhiễm trực tiếp.
Nước ngầm bị nhiễm bẩn có thể ảnh hưởng xấu đến động vật, thực vật và con người nếu nó bị di chuyển khỏi mặt đất bằng các quá trình nhân tạo hoặc tự nhiên. Tùy thuộc vào các loại đá của vùng, nước ngầm có thể trào lên bề mặt thông qua suối hoặc bể nước, chảy theo dòng vào sông, suối, hoặc ao nuôi, hoặc chìm sâu vào lòng đất. Ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới, nước ngầm được bơm ra khỏi mặt đất để sử dụng cho việc uống, tắm rửa, sử dụng trong gia đình, nông nghiệp và công nghiệp.
Chất ô nhiễm trong đất có thể gây hại cho cây trồng khi rễ của chúng hút chất ô nhiễm. Ăn, hít vào hoặc chạm vào đất bị ô nhiễm, cũng như ăn thực vật hoặc động vật có chứa chất gây ô nhiễm có thể ảnh hưởng xấu tới sức khoẻ của người và động vật.
Ô nhiễm không khí có thể gây ra các vấn đề liên quan đến hô hấp và các ảnh hưởng xấu đến sức khoẻ khi chất ô nhiễm bị hấp thụ từ phổi vào các bộ phận khác của cơ thể. Một số chất gây ô nhiễm không khí cũng có thể gây hại cho động vật và người khi chúng tiếp xúc với da. Cây cối sống dựa vào quang hợp để tăng trưởng và cũng có thể bị ảnh hưởng bởi việc tiếp xúc với các chất gây ô nhiễm di chuyển trong không khí.

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
