The 24th SEA Games was held from 6th to 15th December, 2007 in three provinces in Thailand,
namely Nakhon Ratchsima, Bangkok, and Chon Buri. In fact, the 2007 SEA Games was to be hosted by
Singapore, but Singapore gave up the chance, as its new national sports stadium is under construction and
will not be completed in time for the next SEA Games. Thailand was then asked by The SEA Games
Federation to host this regional sport event in place of Singapore.

The SEA Games takes place every two years, with 11 countries in Southeast Asia participating.
Each member country, in alphabetical order, takes turn hosting this event. Let’s look at the number of sports

32 sports with 391 gold medals. There were 32 sports with 439 gold medals in The 22nd SEA Games, held
in Vietnam in 2003. The 23rd SEA Games, in The Philippines in 2005, had 40 sports with 439 gold medals.

The 24th SEA Games in Thailand this year, featuring 43 sports and 485 gold medals, had the highest
number of sports and gold medals in The Asian Games and The Olympic Games. So The SEA Games is
regarded as the largest regional sporting event in the world in terms of number of sports and medals.

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.

In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe,
recycling is big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive
to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of the
recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".

The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes
and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging:
usually paper, a box, and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that
are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality
products. When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss
of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be
easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a
product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce
garbage, the throwaway must stop.

The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After
customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store. The manufacturers of the drinks collect the
bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In
some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage
dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles.

The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and
used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one
aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum
(for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources.
