MẸ ƠI MẸ

"Mẹ ơi Mẹ, chuyện gì sẽ xảy ra

Nếu ô nhiễm vẫn luôn cứ tiếp diễn?"

"À! Thế giới sẽ thành bãi phế thải,

Và tất cả kho tàng sẽ tiêu tan.

Túi nhựa và lon bừa bãi đầy đồng

Và những dòng suối phủ đầy bọt nước

Mọi người vẩn quẳng chai qua hàng rào,

Hãy cứu chúng tôi, hãy mang chúng về"

"Nhưng Mẹ ơi Mẹ, nếu con quẳng chai,

Sẽ không có làm ô nhiễm rừng chứ?"

"Thật là bậy bạ, làm thế cũng sai,

Con hãy yên lặng và ngoan đi nhé.

Nếu con tính làm chuyện gì ngớ ngẩn,

Mẹ sẽ lập tức dẫn con về nhà.

Vì ô nhiễm là do những người khác,

Mẹ con mình hãy tận hưởng ngày vui".

• Câu 1: Read the passage and then choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question below. Ordinary houses are full of hazardous waste. The most important hazardous waste in the homes is batteries. When you throw them out with your other garbage, they break open at the landfill. The poison inside them moves through rainwater and other liquids to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground. We should use rechargeable batteries. Another hazardous waste in homes is motor oil. Don't throw old motor oil on the ground or throw it on the garbage. It poisons the environment. We should recycle motor oil. Paint is another kind of hazardous waste in homes. Some cities have a "Paint Exchange Day". If you bring in open, unused blue paint and want red, they give you red. Sometimes they mix the paints together into strange colors. If you paint walls with them, you help save the environment.
