Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Hawaii is often considered to be one place in the world where you can find paradise. But when I arrived in Hawaii, I was shocked to discover beaches were covered in plastic rubbish washed up from around the world. As I dug through the sand, I realized the sandy beach was being transformed into a plastic beach. A chill went down my spine.
From the beaches of Hawaii to the seas around Britain, we are polluting our own environment. Beaches are now covered in more rubbish than ever before. The plastic we see on our beaches is just a small amount of the plastic waste that exists in our oceans. Scientists believe that sea currents have created five huge garbage areas in our oceans, including the one in the North Atlantic. This is a global problem for which we are all responsible.
Plastic makes our life easier, but its production and use are completely out of control. Because plastic rubbish in the oceans looks like food, it is being eaten by small fish, which in turn is eaten by large fish, which in turn is eaten by us. Plastic is damaging our beaches, polluting the oceans, and poisoning our food chain. The consequences are still not fully understood, but they are likely to be terrible.
We need to stop using plastic bags for packaging and single-use water bottles. These make up most of the plastic garbage in the oceans. In Bangladesh and Kenya, they have stopped using plastic bags completely. The UK has put a tax on plastic bags. Many supermarkets around the world are not packing goods in plastic.
The future of our beaches, our seas, and the food chain is at risk. This is an environmental problem that we need to solve immediately.

Choose the word that best fits each blank space in the following passage.
Ca trù, the genre widely considered to be Vietnam’s most revered traditional form of music, was inscribed on the UNESCO List of Cultural Heritage in 2009.
Ca trù’s unique sound has roots that stretch back as far as the 11th century. First gaining popularity as for the aristocracy of Vietnam’s royal palaces, it later made its way into the inns and communal spaces of what is now modern-day Hanoi.
The ensemble is composed of at least three , including one female singing intricate poetry while tapping a phach (a small bamboo box), two musicians playing traditional , a long-necked lute and a praise drum. Ca trù is now found in cities across Vietnam.
New observers to the art often comment on how strikingly odd the vocal technique sounds, but it is the vocals themselves that are essential in Ca trù.
