Endangered species

          There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. Aesthetic justification contends that biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals are particularly appreciated for their unique physical beauty. The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literature of every culture attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many groups. According to the proponents of the aesthetic argument, people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world.

          Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological fields, is that of ecological self-interest. By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind. Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every species contributes important or even essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own species. Some advocates of the ecological argument contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then they cannot protect us.

          Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral justification contend that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations World Charter for Nature, created in 1982. Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement called “deep ecology,” the members of which rank the biosphere higher than people because the continuation of life depends on this larger perspective. To carry their argument to its logical conclusion, all choices must be made for the biosphere, not for people.

The word “perspective” in the 3rd paragraph could best be replaced by

A. idea

B. event

C. truth

D. view

ENDANGERED SPECIES

There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. An aesthetic justification contends that biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals are particularly appreciated for their unique physical beauty. The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms is reflected in the art and literature of every culture, attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many groups. According to the proponents of the aesthetic argument, people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms as part of the experience of the world.

Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological fields, is that of ecological self-interest. By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial to humankind. Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every species contributes important or even essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own species. Some advocates of the ecological argument contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the key to a cure for one of the diseases currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then they cannot protect us.

Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral justification contend that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations  World Charter for nature, created in 1982. Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures on Earth, then it is incumbent upon human beings to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all species. Moral justification has been extended by a movement called “deep ecology,” the members of which rank the biosphere higher than people because the continuation of life depends on this larger perspective. To carry their argument to its logical conclusion, all choices must be made for the biosphere, not for people.

        Cooking shows on TV are usually all about exotic foods. Thank to globalization, people everywhere are introducing their taste buds to dishes from every corner of the world. At the same time, other people are discovering that food from their area is the best kept secret. In the past few years, this movement of purchasing local produce keeps picking up steam because it offers a lot of benefits. For starters, local food is often tastier because it is fresher. Goods that are imported from abroad must be flown or shinped in from far away, so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey. A simple way to test this is to sample a banana from overseas versus one that was grown locally and compare the tastes. Imported goods must also be washed and packaged in plastic or other containers so they can survive the journey. These materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline during the shipping process. Food safety is another reason why people are choosing local produce. Today's laws regarding foods vary from country to country. This causes confusion and makes it difficult to detect if any harmful pesticides were used. When you know the local farmer who grows your food and the fields that are used to produce it, the chances of it being contaminated are greatly reduced.

        Buying local foods can also have beneficial impact on the environment. By supporting local growers, consumers can maintain green space and farmland in their communities. Buying locally also helps to build the local community. If farmers can sell directly to consumers instead of a middleman, they will earn more money for their families. Additional profits also enable farmers to better care for their soil and keep quality standards high. In the end, it is a win-win situation for both parties.

      If you are interested in incorporating more local foods into your diet, you can start by attending a farmers' market in your area. This is an open market where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, and meat directly to the public. If you have any questions about the production process or quality of these goods, you can ask the farmers directly. Once you experience the freshness of local foods for yourself, it might be tough to go back to the supermarket.

Some people say that _____ is the best-kept secret.

A. other people

B. foreign foods

C. exotic foods

D. local produce

Tác giả có ý nghĩa gì trong câu nói ở đoạn đầu tiên?

"Theo những người đề xướng lập luận thẩm mỹ, con người cần thiên nhiên trong tất cả các hình thức đa dạng và đẹp đẽ của nó như là một phần trải nghiệm của thế giới."?

A. Thế giới được thiên nhiên trải nghiệm dưới nhiều hình thức đẹp như nhau.

B. Con người một cách rất tự nhiên bị thu hút bởi những hình thức đẹp hơn những thứ khác.

C. Để đánh giá đúng Trái Đất đòi hỏi mọi người phải có cơ hội tận hưởng sự đa dạng và

vẻ đẹp của thiên nhiên.

D. Thiên nhiên rất đẹp vì nó cung cấp những trải nghiệm khác nhau cho con người.

Dịch bài đọc:

Có ba lập luận có căn cứ để ủng hộ việc bảo tồn các loài có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng. Lý lẽ về mặt thẩm mỹ cho rằng đa dạng sinh học góp phần trong chất lượng cuộc sống vì nhiều loài động thực vật có nguy cơ tuyệt chủng được đánh giá cao đặc biệt vì vẻ đẹp tự nhiên độc đáo của chúng. Vai trò thẩm mỹ của thiên nhiên trong tất cả các hình thức đa dạng của nó được thể hiện trong nghệ thuật và văn học của mọi nền văn hóa, đạt được vị thế biểu trưng trong đời sống tinh thần của nhiều nhóm người. Theo những người đề xướng lập luận thẩm mỹ, con người cần thiên nhiên trong tất cả các hình thức đa dạng và đẹp đẽ của nó như là một phần trải nghiệm của thế giới.

Một lập luận khác đã được đưa ra, đặc biệt là bởi các nhóm người trong lĩnh vực y tế và dược, đó là về lợi ích sinh thái. Bằng cách bảo tồn tất cả các loài, chúng ta giữ được sự cân bằng của tự nhiên và cuối cùng đem lại lợi ích cho loài người. Nghiên cứu gần đây về hệ sinh thái toàn cầu được trích dẫn làm bằng chứng cho thấy mọi loài đều đóng góp các chức năng quan trọng hoặc thậm chí là thiết yếu mà có thể cần thiết cho sự sống còn của loài người chúng ta. Một số người đề xướng lập luận sinh thái cho rằng các hợp chất hóa học quan trọng có nguồn gốc từ thực vật quý hiếm có thể chứa thành phần then chốt để chữa một trong những căn bệnh hiện đang đe dọa mạng sống con người. Nếu chúng ta không bảo vệ các loài khác, thì chúng không thể bảo vệ chúng ta.

Ngoài lợi ích cho con người về cả thẩm mỹ và sinh thái, những người đề xướng lý lẽ về mặt đạo đức cho rằng tất cả các loài đều có quyền tồn tại, đó là một quan điểm đã được nêu trong Hiến chương về Tự nhiên của Liên hợp quốc viết năm 1982. Hơn nữa, nếu con người tự xem mình là người quản lý của tất cả các sinh vật trên Trái Đất thì sau đó, con người phải có trách nhiệm bảo vệ chúng và đảm bảo sự tồn tại liên tục của tất cả các loài. Lý lẽ về mặt đạo đức được mở rộng bởi một phong trào gọi là "sinh thái sâu sắc", các thành viên của phong trào xếp hạng sinh quyển cao hơn con người vì sự tiếp tục của cuộc sống phụ thuộc vào tầm nhìn xa hơn này. Để đưa lập luận này đến kết luận hợp lý, tất cả các lựa chọn phải được thực hiện vì sinh quyển, không phải vì con người
