The phrase “healthy lifestyle” is a definition of how you should live if you want to get the
healthiest body you can- one that both looks good and feels good. You know the obvious behaviors that
describe someone who is healthy and takes care of themselves. A healthy person doesn't smoke, cats
healthy foods with plenty of fruits, vegetables and fiber and, of course, exercises regularly. A healthy
person also knows how to manage stress, gets good quality sleep each night, doesn't drink too much,
doesn't sit too much, does everything in moderation all the time. When you look at everything that could
possibly make a healthy lifestyle, you can see just how hard all of those things are in our current world.
There is no such thing as a "bad" food, but there are some foods you should try not to have regular basis.
Fast food refers to food that can be prepared and served quickly. It is popular as the food is inexpensive,
convenient, and tastes good. Because fast food is high in sodium, trans fat, and cholesterol. it isn't
something you should cat often.
The good news is you don't have to change everything at the same time. In fact, the trick to
healthy living is making small changes-taking more steps cach day, adding fruit to your cereal, having an
extra glass of water, or saying no to that second helping of buttery mashed potatoes. One thing you can do
right now to make your lifestyle healthier is to move more.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions 36-40.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from anywhere
else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and
plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but
sometimes you don't know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach
the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical
parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon
covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in
Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia,
and the Pacific Islands
Mã đề 101 Page 3
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "Lungs of our
planet" because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is
also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and
insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For
example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from
rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only
in rainforests.
Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from
rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square
meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to
harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the
destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more
pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
