Read the text and choose the best answer to fill in the blanks.
Grass is probably the most successful living plant in the world. There are over 9,000 different types of grasses and they are in every region on the earth. They are the only flowering plants that can exist in the freezing of the Arctic and the Antarctic. Grasslands support a wide range of animal life, from tiny insects and birds to huge animals like cows and lions. All of them on the grass in one way or another. Grass recovers very quickly after it is cut or damaged. Unlike other plants, the new leaves grow from the soil, not from the top of the plant. That is why large families of animals are able to live together in one area. As as they have eaten all the grass there, a fresh meal is always available because the plants start to grow again.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Unlike life in the countryside which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city is modern and complicated. People, from different regions, move to the cities in the hope of having a better life for them and their children. The inhabitants in the city work as secretaries, businessmen, teachers, government workers, factory workers and even street vendors or construction workers.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially someone with low income, to work harder or they have to take a part-time job to support their family. For many people, an ordinary day starts as usual by getting up in the early morning to do exercise in public parks, preparing for a full day of working and studying, then travelling along crowded boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home after a busy day. They usually live in large houses, or high-rise apartment blocks or even in a small rental room equipped with modern facilities, like the Internet, telephone, television, and so on. Industrialization and modernization as well as global integration have a big impact on lifestyle in the cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of clothes. The "ao dai" – Vietnamese traditional clothes are no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese women’s daily life. Instead, jeans, T-shirts and fashionable clothes are widely preferred.
