III. (10pts) Read the passage below and choose the best answer from A, B, C, or D. 
July 4th is Independence Day. Another name for Independence Day is the Fourth of July. On this day, Americans remember the first Independence Day on July 4th, 1776.
The revolutionary War began in 1775. The 13 colonies were angry with England. They were tired of paying taxes to King George. They wanted freedom to make laws. So in 1776, leaders from 13 colonies met in Philadielphia, Pensylvania. They talked about freedom from England. Thomas Jefferson wrote a paper. The paper, the Declaration of Independence, said the colonies were “ free and independent states.” The leaders signed it on July 4th, 1776.
People in the 13 colonies were very happy about the Declaration of Independence. They made a lot of noise with bells, drums and guns.
People today like to make noise on Independent Day, too.
The fourth of July is a national holiday. Government offices, banks and schools close. Most people don’t go to work. Families and friends get together outside for picnics and cookouts. Many Americans fly the flag outside their homes or businesses on July 4th.
People also go to Fourth of July parades and listen to patriotic music. In the evening when it gets dark, people watch beautiful fireworks. In most states, people can’t buy fireworks because they are dangerous. People can get hurt. So, city governments usually have safe fireworks for everyone to enjoy.
Independence Day isn’t only day for cookouts, noise and fireworks. It is also a day to think about freedom. The Declaration of Independence says everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence is more than 200 years old, but its ideas are important.

IV. Read the text and decide if each sentence is True or False. (5points)
Every day on radio, on TV and in the newspaper, we hear, see or read about many 
problems in the world, for example, pollution problems.
Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from motorbikes,
cars, airplanes, trains and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped
anywhere, even in the city where many people are living. The second pollution problem 
is sea pollution. Many people earn their living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they
catch feed many people. But the sea has become so polluted from oil spills and factory 
wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing the fish, but it is also 
affecting those people who ate fish.
Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not polluted. This problem is growing more
