People have come to settle in Britain for centuries from many parts of the world. Some came to avoid political or religious persecution, and others came to find a better way of life or an escape from poverty. The Irish has long made home in Britain. Many Jewish refugees started their new life in the country at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1930s and after the World War II a large number of people from other European countries came to live there. There also have been many people who came from some countries in Asia. According to the results of a recent survey the non-white population of Great Britain was about 2.4 million, 4.5% the total population. Only half of them were born in Britain. Most of the non-white refugees live in the poorest areas of the cities or in the coun­tryside, where they can only get the worst services and low living standards. All they have to suffer is due to racial discrimination. Although progress has undoubtedly made over the last twenty years in several areas, life is not really better to many non-white refugees. However, with their effort, many individuals have got success in their careers and in public life. The proportion of ethnic minority workers in professional and managerial jobs has increased.

          The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: it bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When Britain people think of the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagined cows or sheep in greenfield enclosed by hedges or stone walls and field of wheat and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths.
          Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer people go to fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would have a better and healthier lifestyle.
          The countryside faces many threats. Some are associated with modern farming practices, and the use of chemical harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for new houses. The green belt, an area of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure. Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect the countryside. Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay the building work.
          America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in States like Montana and Wyoming, where few people living. In the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farm surrounded by hills and green areas. In Ohio, Indianan, Illinoisan and other Midwestern states, field of corns or wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns.
          Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people who live in the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going shopping can mean driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can

We can see from the passage that in the countryside of Britain ______

A. none of the areas face the sea

B. most beautiful areas are not well preserved

C. only a few farms are publicly owned

D. it is difficult to travel from one farm to another

Đáp án C

Chúng ta thấy từ đoạn văn rằng vùng nông thôn ở nước Anh ____________.
A. không nơi nào giáp biển
B. những khu vực đệp nhất không được bảo tồn
C. chỉ một vài nông trại được sở hữu công khai, của nhà nước
D. rất khó để đi từ nông trại này sang nông trại khác.
Giải thích: “Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths.” (Hầu hết nông tại thuộc sở hữu tư nhân nhưng vẫn có một vài nông trại của nhà nước)

Vùng quê của Anh nổi tiếng với sắc đẹp của nó: hoàn toàn lànúi và vùng đất hoang, hồ, sông và rừng, và bờ biển hoang vu. Nhiều khu vực đẹp nhất là công viên quốc gia và được bảo tồn, phát triển. Khi mọi người Anh nghĩ đến vùng quê, họ nghĩ đến đất nông nghiệp, cũng như khoảng trống mở. Họ tưởng tượng bò hoặc cừu trong đồng xanh được bao bởi hàng rào hoặc đá tường và ruộng lúa mì và lúa mạch. Hầu hết các đất nông nghiệp thuộc sở hữu tư nhân nhưng vẫn có một ít là thuộc về nhà nước.
Nhiều người liên tưởng vùng quê đến hoà bình và thư giãn. Họ dùng thời gian rảnh rỗi của họ đi bộ ở đó, hoặc đi về quê cắm trại hoặc ăn bữa trưa. Vào mùa hè mọi người đi đến trái cây nông trại và hái dâu và quả khác. Chỉ một vài người người sống ở vùng quê làm việc trên nông trại. Nhiều người di chuyển trong để làm việc trong tỉnh lỵ. Nhiều người khác mơ về việc sống ở vùng quê, nơi họ tin họ sẽ có tốt hơn và lối sống lành mạnh hơn.
Vùng quê đối mặt với nhiều mối đe doạ. Một số gắn liền với cách canh tác nông nghiệp hiện đại, và việc sử dụng hoá chất độc hại đến thực vật và động vật hoang dã. Đất cũng là yêu cầu cho nhà mới. Vành đai xanh, vùng đất xung quanh nhiều thành phố, đang gia tăng áp lực. Dự định xây dựng con đường mới bị tổ chức kịch liệt phản đối để cố bảo vệ quê. Người biểu tình dựng trại để ngăn ngừa, hoặc ít nhất trì hoãn công việc xây dựng. Mỹ có nhiều vùng hoang dã và phong cảnh xinh đẹp, và có nhiều khu vực, nhất là trong West in States như Montana và Wyoming, nơi sống ít người. Ở tiểu bang thuộc vùng New England, như Vermont và New Hampshire, đây là chuyện bình thường khi trang trại nhỏ bị vây quanh bởi đồi và lĩnh vực xanh. Ở tiểu bang Ohio, Indianan, Illinoisan và các quốc gia Midwestern, ruộng bắp hoặc lúa mì tiến đến đằng chân trời và có nhiều dặm giữa tỉnh lỵ.
Chỉ khoảng 20% Người Mỹ sống bên ngoài thành phố và tỉnh lỵ. Cuộc sống có thể là khó khăn cho người sống ở vùng quê. Dịch vụ như bệnh viện và trường học phải đi xa và đi mua sắm nghĩa là lái xe trên quãng đường dài. Một số người thậm chí phải lái từ nhà của họ đến đường cái nơi thư của họ được còn lại ở hộp. Mặc dù sự bất lợi, nhiều người sống ở vùng quê nói rằng họ giống an toàn, sạch, môi trường hấp dẫn. Nhưng con của họ thường di chuyển đến thị trấn, thành phố sớm nhất có thể

The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths.

As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks.
