THÓI QUEN ĂN CHAY

Cho đến gần đây, việc ăn chay khá phổ biến ở Anh và nó vẫn bị một số người coi là lạ. Nhưng kể từ những năm 1960, mức độ phổ biến của nó đã tăng lên rất nhiều, đến mức các cửa hàng trên đường phố cao cấp dự trữ rất nhiều sản phẩm cho người ăn chay. Những lý do mọi người đưa ra cho việc không ăn thịt là rất nhiều. Có lẽ hầu hết những người ăn chay làm điều đó vì lý do đạo đức, cho rằng việc giết chóc là sai. Quan điểm đối lập là việc chúng ta giết để lấy thức ăn là điều tự nhiên và chúng ta đã tiến hóa để làm như vậy. Tuy nhiên, có những xã hội mà việc ăn thịt không được phép vì nó chống lại tôn giáo của họ. Có những lý do tốt khác để từ bỏ thịt, một trong số đó là sự không hiệu quả của chăn nuôi. Một cánh đồng duy nhất của cây đậu nành thực sự có thể tạo ra lượng protein gấp 200 lần số lượng gia súc có thể được nuôi trên cùng một diện tích đất, vì vậy một thế giới chay có thể là một thế giới không có đói. Mặc dù về lý thuyết, chỉ ăn rau thì rẻ hơn, ăn chay phổ biến nhất ở các nước giàu hơn như Đức và Anh, nơi nhiều người loại trừ thịt vì lý do sức khỏe. Ở những nước này, ít nhất, nó trở thành vấn đề được lựa chọn hơn là điều cần thiết.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

       Geographers say that what defines a place are four properties: soil, climate, altitude, and aspect, or attitude to the Sun. Florida’s ancient scrub demonstrates this principle. Its soil is pure silica, so barren it supports only lichens as ground cover. (It does, however, sustain a sand- swimming lizard that cannot live where there is moisture or plant matter the soil.) Its climate, despite more than 50 inches of annual rainfall, is blistering desert plant life it can sustain is only the xerophytic, the quintessentially dry. Its altitude is a mere couple of hundred feet, but it is high ground on a peninsula elsewhere close to sea level, and its drainage is so critical that a difference of inches in elevation can bring major changes in its plant communities. Its aspect is flat, direct, brutal – and subtropical. Florida’s surrounding lushness cannot impinge on its desert scrubbiness.

       This does not sound like an attractive place. It does not look much like one either; Shrubby little oaks, clumps of scraggly bushes, prickly pear, thorns, and tangles. “It appear Said one early naturalist,” to desire to display the result of the misery through which it has Passed and is passing.” By our narrow standards, scrub is not beautiful; neither does it meet our selfish utilitarian needs. Even the name is an epithet, a synonym for the stunted, the scruffy, the insignificant, what is beautiful about such a place?

       The most important remaining patches of scrub lie along the Lake Wales Ridge, a chain of paleoislands running for a hundred miles down the center of Florida, in most places less than ten miles wide. It is relict seashore, tossed up millions of years ago when ocean levels were higher and the rest of the peninsula was submerged. That ancient emergence is precisely what makes Lake Wales Ridge so precious: it has remained unsubmerged, its ecosystems essentially undisturbed, since the Miocene era. As a result, it has gathered to itself one of the largest collections of rare organisms in the world. Only about 75 plant species survive there, but at least 30 of these are found nowhere else on Earth.

The author mentions all of the following as factors that define a place EXCEPT ___.

A. life-forms

B. aspect

C. soil

D. altitude
