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
In 1959, the government of Egypt was working on a plan to build a dam on the River Nile. It was called the Aswan Dam, and it was intended to generate electricity and allow the river water to be used for agriculture. There was one big problem with the plan, though. The dam would flood a nearby valley that contained ancient Egyptian treasures, including two enormous stone temples.
It can be difficult for governments to choose culture and history over economics. However, if countries always made decisions like this, the majority of the world's ancient sites would end up being destroyed. Luckily, UNESCO stepped in. They formed a committee that tried to convince Egypt to protect its ancient treasures. With support from many countries, they were finally successful. The huge temples were carefully removed from their original site and moved to a safe location so that the dam could be built.
After their success in saving the temples in Egypt, UNESCO went on to save more sites around the world. They protected lagoons in Venice, ruins in Pakistan, and temples in Indonesia. With industrialization changing the world rapidly, there were many sites that needed to be saved. Eventually, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Organization to protect important natural and historic sites wherever it was necessary.
By now, the World Heritage Organization has protected hundreds of sites ranging from beautiful natural islands to buildings in large cities and ancient ruins. If you're able to visit any of the many protected sites, you'll agree it was worth it.

Dịch nghĩa:
“Vào năm 1959, chính phủ Ai Cập đang thực hiện kế hoạch xây dựng một con đập trên sông Nile. Con đập này được gọi là đập Aswan và nó được dự định để tạo ra điện và cho phép sử dụng nước sông cho nông nghiệp. Tuy nhiên, có một vấn đề lớn với kế hoạch này. Con đập sẽ làm ngập một thung lũng gần đó chứa đựng các kho báu cổ đại của Ai Cập, bao gồm hai ngôi đền đá khổng lồ.
Rất khó để các chính phủ lựa chọn văn hóa và lịch sử thay vì kinh tế. Tuy nhiên, nếu các quốc gia luôn đưa ra quyết định như vậy, phần lớn các di tích cổ đại trên thế giới sẽ bị phá hủy. May mắn thay, UNESCO đã can thiệp. Họ đã thành lập một ủy ban cố gắng thuyết phục Ai Cập bảo vệ các kho báu cổ đại của mình. Với sự hỗ trợ từ nhiều quốc gia, cuối cùng họ đã thành công. Các ngôi đền khổng lồ đã được cẩn thận dời khỏi vị trí ban đầu của chúng và chuyển đến một địa điểm an toàn để con đập có thể được xây dựng.
Sau thành công trong việc cứu các ngôi đền ở Ai Cập, UNESCO đã tiếp tục cứu thêm nhiều di tích khác trên toàn thế giới. Họ bảo vệ các đầm phá ở Venice, các di tích ở Pakistan và các ngôi đền ở Indonesia. Với quá trình công nghiệp hóa đang thay đổi thế giới nhanh chóng, có rất nhiều di tích cần được bảo vệ. Cuối cùng, UNESCO đã thành lập Tổ chức Di sản Thế giới để bảo vệ các di tích thiên nhiên và lịch sử quan trọng ở bất cứ nơi nào cần thiết.
Đến nay, Tổ chức Di sản Thế giới đã bảo vệ hàng trăm di tích từ các hòn đảo thiên nhiên xinh đẹp đến các tòa nhà trong các thành phố lớn và các di tích cổ đại. Nếu bạn có cơ hội thăm bất kỳ di tích nào trong số nhiều di tích được bảo vệ, bạn sẽ đồng ý rằng điều đó là xứng đáng.”
