Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of
man. The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today,
nearly two thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on
land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many man's needs. The list
of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have
been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals existing on the ocean floor are ready to
be mined. Additionally. fishing farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.
Besides, the sea may offer plenty of oil and gas and even other new sources of energy. For example, the
warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2030 the problems
that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source of the sea will be largely solved

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer

My life in the past was not very exciting. It was just a cycle of going to school then coming back home. The
same cycle went on until the summer two years ago. That summer my dad took me to his village, and I had
the most thrilling but the most frightening experience in my life.
The village is a peaceful place by a river, with green fields around. We stayed for a week in my
grandparents’ house, with my aunt, uncle and my cousin Tam. I was eager to explore new things in the
countryside. Every day, Tam took me to ride a buffalo in the field. It was so pleasant and exhilarating to sit
on the buffalo, watching the scenery around, and listening to birds singing. Tam sat before me on the
buffalo, supervising it to wade through the river or the rice field. I experienced the happiest days in my life
until the fourth day when an accident happened. When Tam urged the animal to run faster. The faster it ran,
the more exciting we felt. Then suddenly I loosed hold of Tam, and fell down. I felt hurt and terrified; but
luckily I wasn’t seriously injured. I still remember the terror until now. Anyway, it was indeed a “once in a
lifetime” kind of exciting experience for me.
