The designation of an areas marine sanctuaryindicates that it is protected area, just as national park is. People are permitted to visit andobserve there, but living organisms and their environments may not be harmed or removed. The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is administered by the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration, branch of the United States Department of Commerce.Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status. Two and half decades later,only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after 1978. They rangein size from the very small (less than square kilometer) Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary inAmerican Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in California, extending over15,744 square kilometers.The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is crucial part of new management practices inwhich whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are offered some degree ofprotection from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Only in this way can reasonable degreeof marine species diversity be maintained in setting that also maintains the naturalinterrelationships that exist among these species.Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other countries.The National Estuarine Research Reserve System, managed by the United States government,includes 23 designated and protected estuaries. Outside the United States, marine protected-areaprograms exist as marine parks, reserves, and preserves.Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Caribbean Sea. Others rangefrom the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks in countriessuch as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reefsystems. As state, national, and international agencies come to recognize the importance ofconserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas. whether as sanctuaries, parks, or estuarinereserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity.© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5Question 36 What does the passage mainly discuss?

This man is Stephen Hawking Peopleknow him for his courage and his sense of humor. He is also the greatest physicist since AlbertEinstein. Stephen Hawking was born in 1942 in Oxford, England. His father was specialist in tropicaldiseases. Stephen wanted to be scientist too. He went to the University of Oxford and received adegree in physics. He then went to the University of Cambridge to study for Ph.D. During this timedoctors discovered that he had ALS, which is sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease This fataldisease weakens all of the body’s muscles. Most people with ALS live for five years. The doctorsthought Hawking would live for only two and half more years. When Hawking heard this, hebecame very depressed. At about this time he met Jane Wilde language student at Cambridge. They fell in love andgot married in 1965. Hawking has often said that his wife gave him the courage to continue to studyand work. Although Hawking had become more severely paralyzed, he became professor atCambridge. Luckily, the work of physicist only requires one thing: the mind. Hawking had sonand then daughter. He had another son 12 years later when his disease had gotten much worse.His youngest son has never heard his father’s real voice. He has only heard the voice from the© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5computer. Hawking does research about how the universe began. He sees connections and worksout explanations that other people cannot. His research has influenced many other scientists. Someof his ideas are so advanced that other scientists cannot prove them yet. His most famous ideas areabout black holes Black holes are not really holes. They are areas in space that are very dense. Theyare so dense that even light cannot pass through. That is why they are called black holes As his disease got worse, money became problem for Stephen Hawking. He had lot ofmedical expenses. He needed special wheelchairs, nurses 24 hours day, and machines to help himread and speak. To earn extra money, Hawking gave speeches and published articles. Then someonetold him to write book that explained the universe to ordinary people. Hawking agreed and wroteA Brief History of Time The book sold over million copies worldwide, and Hawking became amillionaire. Even though most people could not understand Hawking’s ideas, he amazed them.Hawking became world famous. He met the Queen of England he was on the covers of magazines,and he appeared on television shows. In 1990, Hawking ended his 25-year marriage. This was shocking to many of his friendsbecause his wife, Jane, was very devoted to him. She took care of all of his needs. She fed him, bathedhim, dressed him, and raised their children by herself. Hawking left her for younger woman hisnurse They were married in 1995. Hawking’s strong personality and spirit have helped him to live with ALS for over 30 years.He has helped to make people aware of ALS and other disabilities.
