ÔN THI TUYỂN SINH TIẾNG ANH 10 (7) – June 5th, 2016
I. READING. 
 In the UK we each use about two hundred steel food and drink cans every year. Steel cans are popular because they are convenient, easy to store and unbreakable. But when you have finished with a can what do you do with it? Do you throw it away and forget all about it? Probably! But behind the scenes there are people whose job is to make sure that the steel is never wasted. In fact, recycling or reusing steel cans is so successful that every day of the year more than five million cans start new lives in new steel products.
 After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all it is collected by the men who empty your dustbin each week and taken to a tip, together with all the other household rubbish.
 Then the rubbish is sorted and the steel cans are taken separately to a special factory which turns old cans into high quality steel. It’s this steel that may well find its way back into your home in the form of knives and forks, garden equipment and, of course, food and drink cans.
 So next tune you open your fizzy drink, just remember where your can may have been!
