II. Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions: (1,0pt) 
Black Friday and Cyber Monday promote mindless consumption, excessive packaging and shipping waste,
especially with the rise of online shopping. The sales produce massive waste not just from the unwanted

single-use plastic and cardboard packaging, but also from the return of unwanted items. This mindset also
ensures that the earth overshoot day keeps moving back.
This is especially true of the clothing industry, where much of the online returns are tossed into the landfill
because the logistics and cost of putting the item back on the shelf
are much too complicated. Britons throw away approximately 300,000 tonnes of clothes every year and many
of them are only worn a handful of times.
The negative impact of Black Friday is also significant from non-recyclable, mostly plastic toys, to e-waste, to
fast fashion that is only used for one season. In fact, in France, the government is considering banning Black
Friday due to the impact on the planet and the promotion of unsustainable consumption habits.
26. The passage mainly _____________.
A. explains why Black Friday sales are bad for the environment
B. describes shopping activities on Black Friday and Cyber Monday
C. criticizes the unwanted single-use plastic and cardboard packaging
D. concerns about the impact of non-recyclable products

A. drop

B. improvement

C. increase

D. fall

28. According to the second paragraph, what do people do with much of the online returns?
A. People carefully put the online returns on the shelf.
B. People resend the online returns to the logistics agent.
C. People have to pay more for the online returns.

Part 2. Đọc kĩ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng (ứng với A hoặc B, C, D) cho mỗi câu:
My name is Sara, and I love shopping online. I prefer mobile phone apps, but sometimes I use my computer. The phone is more convenient for me, and I can even do my shopping from bed!
I love shopping so much that I buy everything I need at home. I get food, electronics, books, and even large pieces of furniture like my sofa and bookshelves all online! But I still prefer
getting clothes from a store so I can try them on to be sure they fit me fine.
Yesterday, I bought a birthday present for my mother, and it arrived today! That saves me a lot of time. I am a very busy person, and I am a little forgetful too. If I think of something I need,
then it is wonderful that I can buy it at that moment.
My friends aren't as comfortable with buying things online as I am because they think that it can be dangerous. Of course, bad things sometimes happen, but I am very careful with all of my
personal details. I think the biggest fear that people have with using their credit cards online is that someone will steal  their number. It is important to be sure that the web page is secure. You
can see this if the address has got an “s” in it, like https://. That “s” means it is safe.
People should not be afraid of shopping online. I think it will be the only way we will do our shopping in the future!
