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 following questions.
When people hear the word "city", they usually imagine concrete, neon signs, and lots of air pollution. Thanks to some clever and concerned architects, this image is starting to change. The concept of green cities aims to bring some beauty from rural environments into urban areas. It is not only about looking better though. Green cities are also trying to improve the efficiency of cities and raise the standard of living for people who stay in them.
The term "green cities" refers to cities where builders take into account several environmental factors before those cities are constructed or redesigned. For starters, green cities are designed to be more physically appealing than traditional cities from the past. In addition, the mobility of citizens should be considered, so public transportation can be more convenient and travel time to work can be reduced. Energy sources should also be evaluated with the goal of minimizing air pollution.
When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time. Since 1859, its designers have consciously tried to create sustainable urban designs. Then in 1992, the city received a well-deserved makeover before hosting the Olympic Games. In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded its transportation system. This has reduced air pollution and more workers are using public transportation instead of their own vehicles. Barcelona also boasts one of the best recycling programs in the world. Visitors will find clear color-coded trash bins throughout the city where they can put all of their materials.
Which of the following is NOT a goal that a green city builder would have?

Khi mọi người nghe thấy từ "thành phố", họ thường tưởng tượng ra bê tông, bảng hiệu đèn neon và rất nhiều ô nhiễm không khí. Nhờ có một số kiến trúc sư thông minh và có tâm, hình ảnh này đang bắt đầu thay đổi. Khái niệm thành phố xanh nhằm mục đích mang vẻ đẹp từ môi trường nông thôn vào khu vực thành thị. Nó không chỉ là về việc nhìn tốt hơn. Các thành phố xanh cũng đang cố gắng nâng cao hiệu quả của các thành phố và nâng cao mức sống cho người dân ở đó. Thuật ngữ "thành phố xanh" dùng để chỉ những thành phố mà các nhà xây dựng phải tính đến một số yếu tố môi trường trước khi những thành phố đó được xây dựng hoặc thiết kế lại. Đầu tiên, các thành phố xanh được thiết kế để có vẻ ngoài hấp dẫn hơn so với các thành phố truyền thống trước đây. Ngoài ra, khả năng di chuyển của người dân cũng cần được xem xét để giao thông công cộng có thể thuận tiện hơn và thời gian đi lại làm việc có thể giảm bớt. Các nguồn năng lượng cũng cần được đánh giá với mục tiêu giảm thiểu ô nhiễm không khí. Khi nói đến việc sống xanh, thành phố Barcelona đã đi trước thời đại rất nhiều. Kể từ năm 1859, các nhà thiết kế của nó đã cố gắng tạo ra những thiết kế đô thị bền vững một cách có ý thức. Sau đó vào năm 1992, thành phố đã có sự thay đổi xứng đáng trước khi đăng cai Thế vận hội Olympic. Trong những năm gần đây, Barcelona đã nâng cấp hệ thống giao thông. Điều này đã làm giảm ô nhiễm không khí và ngày càng có nhiều công nhân sử dụng phương tiện giao thông công cộng thay vì phương tiện riêng của họ. Barcelona cũng tự hào có một trong những chương trình tái chế tốt nhất trên thế giới. Du khách sẽ tìm thấy các thùng rác có mã màu rõ ràng khắp thành phố, nơi họ có thể bỏ tất cả vật liệu của mình.
Điều nào sau đây KHÔNG phải là mục tiêu mà người xây dựng thành phố xanh sẽ hướng tới?
A. Giữ không khí trong lành và xanh tươi.
B. Giúp người dân cảm thấy thoải mái hơn.
C. Sơn xanh mọi tòa nhà.
D. Làm cho thành phố trông tự nhiên hơn.
