A tornado is a violent, rotating column of air that is in contact with the surface of the earth and

19
 BÀI TẬP TIẾNG ANH 8_ TÂP 2 _ Global Success_8
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

the form of a condensation funnel. The speed of tornadoes can cause tremendous destruction.
Most of them have wind speeds of about 177 km/h and are approximately 80 metres wide. The
most violent tornadoes can reach more than 480 km/h and stretch more than 3 km across.
Tornadoes are formed during the first stages of a thunderstorm. Usually, there is a change in
wind direction and wind speed increases. This creates an invisible, horizontal effect. The rising
air the thunderstorm brings makes the air rotate from horizontal to vertical, forming the funnel.
Then an area of rotation extends through the storm. This area can be from 3 to 10 km wide.
T F
1. A tornado is a column of air that is always a distance from the surface of
the earth.
2. A tornado often has the shape of a funnel.
3. The most violent tornadoes can stretch approximately 80 metres across.

IX. Read the text and answer the questions.

We all want to protect our planet, but most of us are too busy or too lazy to make a big
change that would save the environment. These are several simple habits to apply in your
everyday life.
1. Use compact fluorescent light bulbs:
These bulbs are more expensive, but they last longer and they can save energy. Then you
can reduce your electricity bill.
2. Donate:
Give the unnessary clothes or things to someone who needs them, if they are still usable.
You may also give them to some charity groups who may sell them and collect a little money.
3. Turn off your devices:
When you do not use any equipment in your house, turn it off. For example, if you don't
watch TV, turn it off. Turn off the light when you leave a room. This easy habit will help you
save a lot of money.
4. Walk or cycle:
Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself
the following question: do I really need my car? Walk or use your bike if the distance is short.

Nobody knows how many planets there are in our galaxy and whether there is life on other
planets. And the Kelper has the mission to find the answer to those questions.
In 2009, NASA launched the Kelper space telescope to find planets that support life. It has
discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our solar system so far. These planets are
hotter than the Earth. The Kelper team predicted that it will take them at least three years to
find an Earth-like planet. This mission costs about six hundred million dollars.
The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is water (not frozen or gas), so the
distance from the planet's sun and therefore temperature is important. The planet also needs a
certain amount of air. If a planet is as small as Mars (half the size of Earth), it can't hold on to
air molecules because of weak gravity. If a planet is four times bigger than Earth - Neptune
size - it has very strong gravity and too much air. So the size of those planets also matter.

XII. Read the text and decide whether the sentence is true (T) or false (F).
Among the eight planets in the solar system, Mercury has achieved several "most" records:
• Closest to the sun
The average distance between Mercury and the sun is 57.9 million kilometres, which is closer
than other planets in the solar system. Scientists haven't discovered any planets closer to the
sun than Mercury so far.
• Maximum surface temperature difference
Because it is very close to the sun, the temperature of the sunny side on Mercury can reach
430°C at the highest, but the night temperature on the back sunny side can fall to -160°CThe
temperature difference between day and night is nearly 600°C. This is the largest temperature
difference between the planet's surface.
• Fastest year
The earth orbits around the sun every year, and the "Mercury year" is the shortest year in the
solar system. It takes only 88 days to go around the sun, which is less than 3 months on the
earth. This is because Mercury is flying around the sun at high speed. It also explains why the
signs and symbols representing Mercury are compared to a messenger wearing flying shoes
and holding a magic wand, based on Greek mythology.

If you want to make Australia your home, it helps to gain some perspective and
understanding of the Australian way of life as it will open up a whole world of exciting new
possibilities and experiences.
Aussies tend to be casual and relaxed and do not like formal greetings very much. When
meeting for the first time, generally Australians shake hands, smile and introduce themselves
with their first names. They love their laid-back lifestyle and take their time with family and
friends very seriously. Picnics, family barbeques, parties, a day at the beach and gatherings at
the park are all essential to the Australian way of life.
Giving and exchanging gifts with family, friends, neighbours and workmates on birthdays
and Christmas is common. If you have been invited to someone's home for a meal, it is polite
to bring a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates for the hosts. Please be punctual as it is
impolite if you are late by more than 15 minutes. If your delay is unavoidable, contact and
inform your host ahead of time.
