Dịch bài đọc:

Người dân của các quốc gia khác nhau có lối sống khá khác nhau. Người Mỹ chúng tôi là những người lãng phí, không quen tiết kiệm.

Cha ông của chúng ta đã bắt đầu khuôn mẫu này, vì nguồn tài nguyên có vẻ phong phú đến mức không ai có thể tưởng tượng được sẽ có sự thiếu hụt. Ví dụ, trong một vài năm của khu định cư Virginia đầu tiên, những người khai hoang đã đốt cháy nhà của họ khi họ sẵn sàng di chuyển về phía tây. Họ chỉ cần móng tay để dùng cho tương lai. Không ai từng nghĩ đến những cây gỗ vô giá đã bốc cháy. Chúng tôi, người dân ở Hoa Kỳ phá hủy nhiều thứ mà các dân tộc khác gìn giữ. Tôi nhận thấy điều này khi tôi sống ở Anh. Tôi nhận được một lá thư từ một trong những ngân hàng lớn nhất nước Anh. Nó được để trong một phong bì đã qua sử dụng đã sửa lại địa chỉ cho tôi. Một điều như vậy là không thể tưởng tượng nổi ở Mỹ. Các ngân hàng Mỹ, dù là nhỏ nhất, luôn sử dụng văn phòng phẩm đắt tiền với tên của tất cả hai mươi tám phó tổng thống được liệt kê ở một bên của trang.

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 33 to 38.

Sylvia Earle, a marine botanist and one of the foremost deep-sea explorers, has spent over 6,000 hours, more than seven months, underwater. From her earliest years, Earle had an affinity for marine life, and she took her first plunge into the open sea as a teenager. In the years since then she has taken part in a number of landmark underwater projects, from exploratory expeditions around the world to her celebrated “Jim dive” in 1978, which was the deepest solo dive ever made without cable connecting the diver to a support vessel at the surface of the sea.

Clothed in a Jim suit, a futuristic suit of plastic and metal armor, which was secured to a manned submarine, Sylvia Earle plunged vertically into the Pacific Ocean, at times at the speed of 100 feet per minute. On reaching the ocean floor, she was released from the submarine and from that point her only connection to the sub was an 18-foot tether. For the next 2½ hours, Earle roamed the seabed taking notes, collecting 15 specimens, and planting a U.S. flag. Consumed by a desire to descend deeper still, in 1981 she became involved in the design and manufacture of 20 deep-sea submersibles, one of which took her to a depth of 3,000 feet. This did not end Sylvia Earle’s accomplishments.

It can be inferred from the passage that Sylvia Earle _______.
