bind = stick together: liên kết lại, dán chặt lại
to make wet: làm ẩm ướt to wash away: rửa trôi
to make stay stronger: làm cho mạnh mẽ, cứng cáp hơn to improve: cải thiện
=> bind = to make stay stronger
Thông tin: For where there are trees their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor.
Tạm dịch: Đối với những nơi có cây cối, rễ của chúng xới đất, cho phép nước mưa chìm xuống và liên kết đất, do đó ngăn chặn việc nó bị cuốn trôi một cách dễ dàng, nhưng nơi không có cây, đất trở nên khô cứng và bạc màu.

Dịch bài đọc:
Cây xanh rất hữu ích cho con người theo ba cách rất quan trọng: chúng cung cấp cho một người gỗ và các sản phẩm khác, chúng cho người đó bóng mát, và giúp ngăn chặn hạn hán và lũ lụt.
Thật không may, ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới, con người đã không nhận ra rằng lợi ích thứ ba trong số đó là quan trọng nhất. Trong sự háo hức của mình để thu được lợi nhuận nhanh chóng từ cây xanh, người ta đã chặt phá chúng với số lượng lớn, chỉ để thấy rằng không có chúng, người ta đã mất đi những người bạn thân nhất mà mình có.
Hai ngàn năm trước, một quốc gia giàu có và hùng mạnh đã chặt hạ cây cối của mình để chế tạo tàu chiến, để tự mình trở thành một đế chế. Nó đã giành được đế chế, nhưng không có cây cối, đất đai của nó trở nên khô cứng và bạc màu. Khi đế chế sụp đổ, đất nước này phải đối mặt với lũ lụt và nạn đói.
Mặc dù chính phủ nhận ra tầm quan trọng của nguồn cung cấp cây xanh dồi dào, thật khó để thuyết phục người dân nhìn thấy điều này. Dân làng cần gỗ để nấu thức ăn của mình và người đó có thể kiếm tiền bằng cách đốt than hoặc bán gỗ cho người dân thị trấn. Anh ấy thường quá lười biếng hoặc quá bất cẩn để
trồng và chăm sóc cây. Vì vậy, trừ khi chính phủ có một hệ thống kiểm soát tốt, hoặc có thể giáo dục người dân, các khu rừng sẽ dần biến mất.
Điều này không chỉ có nghĩa là sẽ có ít cây cối hơn. Kết quả thậm chí còn nghiêm trọng hơn. Đối với những nơi có cây cối, rễ của chúng xới đất, cho phép nước mưa chìm xuống và liên kết đất, do đó ngăn chặn việc nó bị cuốn trôi một cách dễ dàng, nhưng nơi không có cây, đất trở nên khô cứng và bạc màu. Mưa rơi trên mặt đất cứng và chảy trên bề mặt, gây ra lũ lụt và mang theo lớp đất mặt màu mỡ, nơi mà cây trồng phát triển rất tốt. Khi tất cả lớp đất mặt đã biến mất, không còn gì ngoài một sa mạc vô giá trị

FOOTPRINTS ON THE MOON
Long ago a lot of people thought the moon was a god. Other people thought it was just a light in the sky. And others thought it was a big ball of cheese.
The telescopes were made. And men saw that the moon was really another world. They wondered what it was like. They dreamed of going there.
On July 20,1969, that dream came true. Two American men landed on the moon. Their names were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. The first thing the men found was that the moon is covered with dust. The dust is so thick that the men left footprints where they walked. Those were the first marks a living thing had ever made on the moon. And they could stay there for years and years. There is no wind or rain to wipe them off.
The two men walked on the moon for hours. They picked up rocks to bring back to earth for study. They dug up dirt to bring back. They set up machines to find out things people wanted to know. Then they climbed back into their moon landing craft.
Next day, the landing craft roared as the two men took off from the moon. They joined Michael Collins in the spaceship that waited for them above the moon. Then they were off on their trip back to earth. Behind them they left the plains and tall mountains of the moon. They left the machines they had set up. And they left footprints that may last forever.

A. makes the moon brighter.
B. turns the moon into another world.
C. makes many of men’s dreams come true.

A. they wanted something to show they were there.
B. people wanted to use them to learn about the moon.
C. they wanted to keep them as souvenirs.
D. they might sell them to scientists.
