Read the following passage. Then, decide whether the first four statements are True or False, and choose the correct answer for the remaining two questions.
In cities across Vietnam, from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, a green trend is growing. Young people are filling their rooms and favorite cafes with houseplants. This is not just for decoration; many believe these plants are natural air purifiers. Shops and social media often promote specific plants as being excellent at cleaning the air. But is this popular belief based on solid science, or is it more of a hopeful myth?
The idea that plants can clean indoor air comes from a famous 1989 NASA study. Researchers found that common houseplants could absorb harmful chemicals called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air in a sealed laboratory chamber. This process happens as the plant takes in gases through its leaves and the microorganisms in the soil also play a part. The study was originally intended to explore life support systems for potential space stations.
However, translating these findings to a typical home or bedroom is complicated. The NASA experiment was conducted in a small, airtight chamber. Our rooms are much larger and have constant air exchange from windows, doors, and ventilation systems. Therefore, the cleaning effect of a few plants in a normal-sized room is actually quite minor. You would need an enormous number of plants—perhaps hundreds—to have a noticeable impact on air quality.
So, should you get rid of your plants? Absolutely not. While they may not be powerful air filters, houseplants offer other proven benefits. Studies show they can reduce stress, boost mood, and improve focus. They add beauty and a touch of nature to our urban lives. It's best to appreciate houseplants for these qualities, rather than relying on them to solve air pollution problems.
Question 25
The 1989 NASA study proved that placing a few houseplants in a typical home bedroom can significantly clean the air.
- True
- False
Question 26
The process of air purification by plants involves only the leaves absorbing harmful gases.
- True
- False
Question 27
According to the passage, the primary reason young people in Vietnam grow houseplants is for decoration.
- True
- False
Question 28
The passage confirms that houseplants have scientifically supported benefits, such as reducing stress and improving mood.
- True
- False
Question 29
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
- The Famous NASA Study on Air Quality
- Why Vietnamese Cities Need More Greenery
- Houseplants: More for Mood Than for Clean Air
- How to Choose the Best Air-Purifying Plant
Question 30

- It introduces a popular claim, provides its scientific basis, critiques its real-world application, and offers an alternative perspective.
- It presents a problem, lists several solutions, and recommends the most effective one.
- It argues for a specific viewpoint and uses personal anecdotes to support it.
- It compares and contrasts the benefits of different types of houseplants for city living.
