SHOPPING CENTRES

In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow twisting roads with many shops huddling together along the two sides. These commercial places are not so modern and convenient as those called shopping centres in modern cities, especially in the suburbs of the big cities in the United States.

Shopping centres have developed rapidly because of the shift of the population to the suburbs, the growing use of and dependence upon the automobile and the heavy traffic in downtown areas.

A shopping centre is a large group of stores facing a huge central mall which may be covered , heated and air conditioned. A shopping centre is also surrounded by a parking area with space for thousands of cars.

We can buy all kinds of food and get anything we need in a shopping centre. Unlike a supermarket where groceries are chiefly sold, a shopping centre provides us with all services besides food. We can get our hair cut, eyes examined, clothes washed; we can book our tickets for a world tour and even enroll in special classes.

Shopping centres are, therefore, very convenient for customers, but they lack the "sense of closeness" as felt in order commercial centres.

PURE SCIENCE AND APPLIED SCIENCE

Many of the latest scientific accomplishments fall in the realm of "pure" science. This is research for the sake of increasing man's knowledge without concern about how the knowledge is going to be used. In contrast with pure science is "applied" science. The production of synthetic diamonds is an example of applied science. In applied science the facts and principles of pure science are used in the solution of a problem which has or will have immediate economic and social importance.

Often in the past, applied science has gone far ahead of pure science. Its practical applications have been used for man's good even before the basic facts and principles were understood. For example, the telegraph, telephone and electric motor, which could not work without electrons, were invented before man discovered the electron. People were vaccinated long before viruses were investigated. Chemicals like sulfuric acid and soda were manufactured long before man began to understand the nature of the atom. Today, however, if applied science is to grow it must depend more and more on increased knowledge of pure science.

KHOA HỌC THUẦN TÚY VÀ KHOA HỌC ỨNG DỤNG

Nhiều thành tựu khoa học mới nhất rơi vào lĩnh vực khoa học "thuần khiết". Đây là nghiên cứu vì lợi ích của việc nâng cao kiến ​​thức của con người mà không cần quan tâm đến kiến ​​thức sẽ được sử dụng như thế nào. Trái ngược với khoa học thuần túy là khoa học "ứng dụng". Việc sản xuất kim cương tổng hợp là một ví dụ về khoa học ứng dụng. Trong khoa học ứng dụng các sự kiện và nguyên tắc của khoa học thuần túy được sử dụng trong giải pháp của một vấn đề có hoặc sẽ có ngay lập tức kinh tế và xã hội quan trọng.

Thông thường trong quá khứ, khoa học ứng dụng đã vượt xa khoa học thuần túy. Ứng dụng thực tế của nó đã được sử dụng cho con người tốt ngay cả trước khi các sự kiện cơ bản và nguyên tắc đã được hiểu. Ví dụ, điện báo, điện thoại và động cơ điện, không hoạt động mà không có điện tử, đã được phát minh trước khi người đàn ông phát hiện ra điện tử. Người ta đã chủng ngừa lâu trước khi các vi rút được điều tra. Các hóa chất như axít sulfuric và soda được sản xuất từ ​​lâu trước khi người đàn ông bắt đầu hiểu bản chất của nguyên tử. Tuy nhiên, ngày nay, nếu khoa học ứng dụng là để phát triển nó phải phụ thuộc nhiều hơn vào kiến ​​thức khoa học thuần túy.

21) The aim of pure science is ...

A/ to promote the production of pure chemicals

B/ to solve practical problems of everyday life

C/ to develop human knowledge of general principles of science

D/ to apply scientific facts to the invention of electronic devices

22) Applied science has ...

A/ made our lives more comfortable with the understanding of basic scientific theories.

B/ made our lives more enjoyable with the production of everything we need.

C/ given us the basic facts and principles of science.

D/ help us research for the sake of increasing man's knowledge.

COMPOSITION

There are plenty of good jobs in our society. In my opinion, working as a tourist guide is the most interesting.

Being a tourist guide enables us to know more about our country, visit beautiful places and meet all kinds of people. Above all, when dealing with foreign tourists, we have good opportunities to practise our English and widen our knowledge. Besides, the salary of tourist guide is satisfactory.

It will apply for a job at a tourist agency and become a tourist guide when I have graduated from high school and obtained and B level certificate of English.

Có rất nhiều công việc tốt trong xã hội chúng ta. Theo tôi, làm việc như một hướng dẫn viên du lịch là thú vị nhất.
