 Despite widespread assumptions to the contrary, there is no prescribed pathway for the development 
of a society, no single model on which development strategies should be based. The Western model of 
development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often incompatible with the 
complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different goals, reflecting their own 
values. The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the social fabric and foundations- 
often rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that have received “development aid” 
Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive approach to 
development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and environmental problems 
confronting the planet as a whole. Cultural diversity - which emphasizes the dynamic interactions between 
cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus becomes a key lever for ensuring sustainable, holistic 
development strategies. While the international community, in its attempts to operationalize the concept of 
sustainable development over the last two decades, has begun to acknowledge the role of culture in the 
development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully integrated into the development equation. 
 The 1987 Bruntland Report of the UN Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED), 
entitled our Common Future, was seminal in its assertion that genuine development must be sustainable - 
denoting a form of growth “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future 
generations to meet their own needs". At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainability was 
conceived in terms of the three pillars of economic viability, social responsiveness and respect for the 
environment. These pillars have since served as the basis for important standard-setting instruments, 
including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nations Framework Convention on 
Climate Change (UNFCCC). The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg went 
further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant cross-cutting factor in sustainable development. 
Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth pillar of sustainability), 
with an important role to play in all development projects, from poverty eradication and the safeguarding of 
biodiversity to resource management and climate change. 
Câu 3: It is stated in paragraph 3 that ______. 
 A. sustainable development does not only meet the needs of the present but also of future generations 
 B. sustainable development refers to the ability of future generations to meet their own needs

 A. the Western model of development has nothing to do the complex societie 
 B. complex societies are equally concerned with traditions and communal solidarity 
 C. there is no single model on which development strategies should be based

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. 
 Thunderstorms, with their jagged bursts of lightning and roaring thunder, are actually one of nature’s 
primary mechanisms for transferring heat from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere. A thunderstorm 
starts when low-lying pockets of warm air from the surface of the earth begin to rise. The pockets of warm 
air float upward through the air above that is both cooler and heavier. The rising pockets cool as their 
pressure decreases, and their latent heat is released above the condensation line through the formation of 
cumulus clouds. 
 What will happen with these clouds depends on the temperature of the atmosphere. In winter, the air 
temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is not extremely great, and the temperature of 
the rising air mass drops more slowly. During these colder months, the atmosphere, therefore, tends to 
remain rather stable. In summer, however, when there is a high accumulation of heat near the earth’s 
surface, in direct contrast to the considerably colder air higher up, the temperature differential between 
higher and lower altitudes is much more pronounced. As warm air rises in this type of environment, the 
temperature drops much more rapidly than it does in winter; when the temperature drops more than 4 
degrees Fahrenheit per thousand feet of altitude, cumulus clouds aggregate into a single massive 
cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead. 
 In isolation, a single thunderstorm is an impressive but fairly benign way for Mother Earth to defuse 
trapped heat from her surface; thunderstorms, however, can appear in concert, and the resulting show, 
while extremely impressive, can also prove extraordinarily destructive. When there is a large-scale collision 
between cold air and warm air masses during the summer months, a squall line, or series of thunderheads, 
may develop. It is common for a squall line to begin when an advancing cold front meets up with and forces 
itself under a layer of warm and moist air, creating a line of thunderstorms that races forward at speeds of 
approximately forty miles per hour. A squall line, which can be hundreds of miles long and can contain fifty 
distinct thunderheads, is a magnificent force of nature with incredible potential for destruction. Within the 
squall line, often near its southern end, can be found supercells, long-lived rotating storms of exceptional 
strength that serve as the source of tornadoes.
