Câu hỏi: 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 from 39 to 43.
You might think trash is just something you throw away. But some people have found creative ways to turn trash into cash.
Trash made Cheung Yan one of the richest women in the world. Cheung Yan buys paper garbage in the United States and sends it to her factories in China. In her factories, the paper becomes cardboard boxes. Companies in China use her cardboard boxes to send products made in China, such as TVs and microwaves, to Europe and the United States. When people in the United States throw the boxes away, Cheung Yan buys them, and her trash-to-riches process starts all over again. Cheung Yan's company made $3.8 billion in 2011.
Collecting trash helped 14-year-old Willow Tufano buy a house. Willow collected things on the sidewalk in her neighborhood that people didn't want anymore, items such as furniture and electronics. "It's amazing the things they throw away," Willow said. If the items were broken, Willow fixed them. Then she sold the items on the Internet. She earned $6,000 from her sales. Her mother added another \$ 6,000, and together they bought an inexpensive house in Port Charlotte, Florida. Willow continues to make money by renting the house to tenants.
