Are you one of those lucky people blessed with ample free time? Do you have the luxury of dozens of interesting, fulfilling activities to choose from? Let us be realistic. For many, particularly couples where both partners need to work out of financial necessity and, certainly, hard-pressed single parents, the luxury of more limited working hours does not mean an increase in leisure. Instead, it is a mere safety valve, providing a slightly more relaxed environment in which to keep up with all the chores associated with being householders and parents, not to mention other family responsibilities. But what about genuine free time? Firstly, it is important to note that a whole world of possibilities may be open to your imagination, only for you to be barred from these options due to financial considerations. (I). Secondly, do we all have the maturity to take advantage of the opportunities available? There may be emotional, intellectual or cultural barriers in our way that prevent us from making the most of our free time!. (II) . In France, laws which meant that the vast majority of employees worked a maximum of 35-hours a week have recently been repealed. (III).

Bees play a critical role in ecosystems as pollinators, facilitating the reproduction of many plants, including those crucial for human food production. However, habitat loss poses a significant threat to bee populations worldwide. This loss is primarily driven by human activities such as urbanization, agricultural expansion, and deforestation, which reduce the availability of natural habitats for bees.
Trang 4 Maõ Ñeà 0012-Anh Văn-Thi Thử TNTHPT Urbanization leads to the conversion of natural landscapes into cities and towns, fragmenting and reducing bee habitats. (I). This fragmentation isolates bee populations, making it difficult for them to find food and mates. Similarly, agricultural expansion often involves the transformation of diverse ecosystems into monocultures. These monocultures lack the variety of plants that bees require for a balanced diet, leading to nutritional stress. Deforestation further exacerbates habitat loss by removing trees that provide nesting sites and floral resources for bees. This not only affects the bees directly but also disrupts the entire ecosystem, as bees are integral to the pollination of many tree species. (II). Climate change also interacts with habitat loss, altering flowering times and reducing the availability of floral resources. As temperatures rise, some plant species may bloom earlier or later than usual, disrupting the synchrony between bees and their food sources. (III). This mismatch can lead to a decline in bee populations as they struggle to find adequate nutrition. (IV). Efforts to mitigate habitat loss include creating bee-friendly environments in urban areas, such as planting diverse flowering plants and establishing green spaces. Farmers can also contribute by maintaining hedgerows and practicing crop rotation to support bee diversity. Conservation of natural habitats and reforestation are crucial strategies to ensure the survival of bee populations and the ecosystems they support. In conclusion, while bees face numerous challenges due to habitat loss, concerted efforts to preserve and restore their natural environments can help sustain their populations. Protecting bees is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the resilience of ecosystems that humans and wildlife depend on. 26. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The effects of climate change on global ecosystems. B. The importance of reforestation in urban areas. C. The role of bees in pollination and threats to their habitats. D. The impact of urbanization on agriculture. 27. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 3? A. Urbanization leads to habitat fragmentation. B. Deforestation removes trees that provide essential resources for bees. C. Climate change disrupts flowering times. D. Agricultural expansion creates monocultures. 28. Which word is a synonym for "exacerbates" as used in the passage? A. mitigates B. reduces C. alleviates D. intensifies 29. Which word is an antonym for "fragmentation" as used in the passage?
