Lợi ích săn bắn nấm phổ biến ở Mỹ Những gì từng là một hoạt động ngoài trời chỉ dành cho những người ăn kiêng cực đoan hiện đang trở nên ngày càng phổ biến ở nhiều nơi ở Hoa Kỳ. Tôi đang nói về săn nấm! Thợ săn nấm - còn được gọi là máy xay - dành hàng giờ, thậm chí cả ngày, ở những khu vực rừng tìm kiếm nấm hoang dã. Dennis Aita sống ở thành phố New York. Ông đã là một thợ săn nấm từ những năm 1980. Đầu tiên, ông bắt đầu quan tâm đến họ trong khi khám phá đường mòn Appalachian vào những năm 1970. Khi anh đi bộ, anh bắt đầu chú ý đến nấm và những thứ hoang dã khác. Vì vậy, anh quyết định thử thức ăn cho nấm. Aita nói rằng thức ăn cho nấm đã thay đổi mối quan hệ của mình với môi trường. Khi đi bộ đường dài, ông nói, ông sẽ đi bộ một cách nhanh chóng và không thấy nhiều cây cối và cây cối xung quanh. Tuy nhiên, để tìm nấm, bạn phải đi chậm. “Um, bằng cách tìm nấm, bạn có xu hướng chậm lại một chút. Bạn có cơ hội nhìn thấy những con chim.

The hunters used groups of dogs to chase the foxes while they followed on horses. They wore special clothes for hunting: bright jackets-usually red – black boots and black hats. This tradition continued through the 1800s and 1900s, especially in rural areas. However, many people in the UK were unhappy about the tradition of fox-hunting. It was especially unpopular among people who lived in cities. They thought it was a cruel andout-dated activity and argued that it is wrong to kill animals for fun. On September 15th, 2004, the government 2 made a new law to ban hunting with dogs. The traditional fox hunts had to stop. They were now illegal.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

Educating children at home as an alternative to formal education is an option chosen by families in many parts of the world. The homeschooling movement is popular in the United States, where close to one million Children are educated at home. In Canada, 1 percent of school-age children are homeschooled, and the idea also enjoys growing popularity in Australia, where 20,000 families homeschool their children. The movement is not limited to these countries. Homeschooling families can be found all over the world, from Japan to Taiwan to Argentina to South Africa.

Homeschooling is not a novel idea. In fact, the idea of sending children to spend most of their day away from home at a formal school is a relatively new custom. In the United States, for example, it was not until the latter part of the nineteenth century that state governments began making school attendance compulsory. Before that, the concept of a formal education was not so widespread. Children learned the skills they would need for adult life at home from tutors or their parents, through formal instruction or by working side by side with the adults of the family.

In the modern developed world, where the vast majority of children attend school, families choose homeschooling for a variety of reasons. For people who live in remote areas, such as the Australian outback or the Alaskan Wilderness, homeschooling may be their only option. Children who have exceptional talents in the arts or other areas may be homeschooled so that they have more time to devote to their special interests. Much of the homeschooling movement is made up of families who, for various reasons, are dissatisfied with the schools available to them. They may have a differing educational philosophy, they may be concerned about the safety of the school environment, or they may feel that the local schools cannot adequately address their children's educational needs. Although most families continue to choose a traditional classroom education for their children, homeschooling as an alternative educational option is becoming more popular.

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.

A mansion is a very large home. McDonald's is the name of a fast food hamburger chain. What do you get when you put the two together? You get McMansion, the recently created name for a type of large suburban, two storied home that originated in the United States. Many people love McMansions for their low price, abundant space and impressive styling, but the news is not all gooD. In fact, McMansions may now be a threatened species.

McMansion became very popular in the United States during the 1990s, and this popularity continued for almost 20 years. During those years the economy was relatively strong, and banks were willing to lend large sums of money to people who wanted to buy a home. The result was an increase in the average home size. In 1988, the average new American home was 170 square meters, but by 2008 this had risen to 244 square meters, a 44% increase.

To offset the greater costs of these large homes, land developers built many homes that all used a similar basic design and identical construction methods. Framing and interior fittings were constructed in

factories, instead of on site, and the materials used were often of a lower quality. Finally, the sections of land used for each house were much smaller than before.

The result was suburban developments full of huge homes, often over 280 square meters in floor area, that all looked similar to each other. Their standardization and lowest possible-cost construction reminded people of McDonald's hamburgers, hence the term McMansion. For many people a McMansion was their dream home, but that dream is now rapidly turning sour.

There are two main problems with McMansions. One problem is that their huge size means that they cost a lot to heat or cool. Energy is becoming more expensive, so owners are faced with huge bills if they try to heat or cool their home. The other problem is that McMansion owners are often in a lot of debt. They borrowed a lot of money to pay for their impressive home, but during the 2000s, with struggling economy and high unemployment, they couldn't afford to repay their loan.

McMansion are still popular in some area, but no one is sure how long it will last. Will energy become even more expensive and force owners to downsize? Will the economy grow and banks become more willing to end again? Will the drop-in house prices allow larger, less affluent families to afford a McMansion? These questions are weighing heavily on the future of one of the most popular housing styles of the late 20th century.

What can be inferred from this sentence in paragraph 1:

“McMansions may now be a threatened species”?

A. Some threatened species are living in McMansions.

B. It's dangerous to live in McMansions.

C. McMansions may be destroyed soon.

D. People will not build McMansions anymore.
