food surplus by delivering fresh produce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric
cars, offering farmers the lion's share of the retail price.
There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste. But
perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers and gradually move
towards a more sustainable future for us all.

E8: 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.
The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is
thiểu số, chiếm phần nhỏ (n)
(3) changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their
goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the
movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.
phong trào (n)
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they reduce
environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an
alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from
the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no they cost and with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity
use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of
fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer
in winter and cooler in summer.
tiên tiến (adj)
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally
mỗi, mọi khía cạnh xem xét, cân nhắc
(1)
responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things:
dễ chịu, thoải mái (v): giảm bớt
the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental
impact. 75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by
43 percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.
quy mô lớn (adj) theo như
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to green
building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army housing.
The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones.
These houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels.
A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400 families
built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire
neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in
new neighborhoods across China.
once= một khi, đã từng là
principle (n): nguyên tắc
site=place (n): địa điểm
require (v): yêu cầu, đòi hỏi
be equipped with= được trang bị với
conventional = traditional (adj): truyền thống in the long run = về lâu dài
(4)
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments
are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living
and working conditions and also save money in the long run. (6)
