Exercise 1:
Jean spent her first few years in Hooper and her family moved to Otsego early in her life. She was only ten
when her father died unexpectedly, leaving her mother to raise and support their family alone. Her mother soon
went to work outside the home to provide for the family, and Jean, being one of the oldest, had to help care for her
younger siblings. Although she had much responsibility at home, Jean thoroughly enjoyed school and was an
excellent student. She went on to graduate 10th in her class at Otsego High School in 1953.
While still in high school, Jean met a young man named Charles "Chuck" Holly, at a dance in Alamo; and they
were quite taken with each other. Over the next few years, their love for each other blossomed and they were
married on February 24, 1953, while Jean was still in school. At the time, Chuck was serving his country in the
military, and had come home on leave to marry his sweetheart. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, he was sent
overseas to serve in Korea for the next fifteen months.

ends meet, Jean went to work at the collection bureau in Kalamazoo for a while, before taking a job at the cheese
company in Otsego. In 1964, Chuck and Jean were overjoyed with the birth of their son, Chuck, who brought

Exercise 2:

I was born to dance. I've been dancing all my life, ever since my mother, who gave up a dancing career on the
stage when she married my father, picked me up and twirled me around as an infant. As much as I loved dancing
with her, her greatest gift to me was her "unconditional love" during her lifetime.
My parents divorced after only 5 years of marriage, but my father remarried a lovely lady who also loved to
dance. They used to take me to a dancing club where I would listen to the music and watch them dance-
occasionally my stepmother, Mary, invited me to dance I also met my wife, Charlotte, in a dancing party. I danced
with her for about 15 minutes, and during that brief span, I realized that I fell in love with her. We kept dancing
throughout our marriage. My earliest memories of dancing with my daughters started when I came home from
work to our small home in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and my daughter Laura was about 3 years old. It was very
relaxing for me. To turn on the record player, pick up Laura in my arms, and dance her around the room!
Our family danced a lot. My daughters, Laura and Anne, and I continued to dance on every occasion. One
favorite memory I have of dancing with Laura and Anne was when I took each of them when they were seniors in
high school to the Daddy-Daughter dance. We won both dance competitions!
As their father, I have tried to provide my daughters with unconditional love, as my Mother provided to me,
endless emotional and loving support, and good educations and life experiences which have helped prepare them
for happy and successful adult lives. Being a father who is worthy of their love and respect, I consider fatherhood
a privilege, not an entitlement.
In 1994, my oldest daughter Laura gave me a lovely book, which I still have, entitled "Fathers and Daughters."
My Father's Day suggestion to every father is to dance with your daughters at every opportunity. It will not only
bring you closer, it will give them memories of you “to hang onto" long after we are gone.

Exercise 3:
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They find a
person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking
for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same
songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a western man
and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding
from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's
country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very
disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you
are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name
you have grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often
played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your
49
feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard
the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do
not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality,
for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where
everybody can understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her
feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her questions,
get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a great
opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a
movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like.
Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

Exercise 4:
In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages were generally
arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was
not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based on love, and
in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions.
Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding continue
to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and eastern elements.
Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so
before the wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are
decided in advance by a fortune teller The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of
ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive
the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for
another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of
guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests
are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table
to table collecting.

Exerciser 5:
Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share
knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is
composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent behaviors
such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture
and spatial distance between two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in turn,
respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a
person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal
skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading nonverbal cues
than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As
children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not cease to exist although become
entwined in the total communication process.
1. According to the writer, ________.
A. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.
B. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language.
C. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language.
D. People communicate with both verbal and nonverbal language.
2. Which is not included in nonverbal communication?
A. words B. spatial distance C. facial expressions D. tone of voice
3. We can learn from the text that ________.
A. nonverbal can never get any responses B. most people do not like nonverbal communication
C. even silence has message value D. touching is not accepted in communicating
4. Human beings ________.
A. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books
B. can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature
C. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child
51
D. communicate in nonverbal language much less than they do in verbal language
5. The word reading has a close meaning to ________.
A. looking at the words that are written B. understanding
C. saying something aloud D. expressing
Exercise 6:
Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and face are the most pervasive
types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control. 'It is estimated that there are over 200.000 physical
signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person. For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements,
each capable of stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures. Body
movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked. Because such avenues of communication
are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt,
or cancels out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed with friends or when
addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates status or liking of the other individual. More
direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or reject the spoken
word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will be a
disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate.
1. Which part of body is not used to send body message?

Exercise 7:
In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The National
Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and when they have to
take assessment tests.
Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary
Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a half
GCSE in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they must also be taught Physical Education,
Religious Education and Sex Education, although they do not take exams in these subjects.
At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually. take A (Advanced) levels, AS
(Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications). It is quite
common to combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.
Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To go to
52
university, pupils usually need two or three A levels.
AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take
the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature exam.
GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business, Leisure
and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at advanced level) is equal to two A

Exercise 9:
University Entrance Examination is very important in Vietnamese students. High school graduates have to
take it and get high results to be admitted to universities. The pressure on the candidates remains very high despite
the measures that have been taken to reduce the heat around these exams, since securing a place in a state
university is considered a major step towards a successful career for young people, especially those from rural
areas or disadvantaged families. In the year 2004, it was estimated that nearly 1 million Vietnamese students took
the University Entrance Examination, but on average only 1 out of 5 candidates succeeded. Normally, candidates
take 3 exam subjects, and each lasts; 180 minutes for the fixed group of subjects they choose. There are 4 fixed
groups of subjects: Group A: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry; Group B: Mathematics, Biology, and
Chemistry; Group C: Literature, History, and Geography; Group D: Literature, Foreign Language, and
Mathematics.

Exercise 10:
As Chinese society changes, higher education is undergoing major transformations. The university model of
the United States and other Western countries has a powerful influence. New trends in Chinese higher education
are attracting the attention of global educators. Since the establishment of Western-oriented modern universities at
the end of nineteenth century, Chinese higher education has continued to evolve. Over the past two decades,
however, tremendous economic development in China has stimulated reforms in higher education that have
resulted in some remarkable changes.
The first modern institution, Peiyang University, was founded in Tianjin. The university changed its name to
Tianjin University in 1951 and became one of the leading universities in China: Next, Jiaotong University was
founded in Shanghai in 1896. In the 1950s, most of this university was moved to Xi'an, an ancient capital city in
northwest China, and became Xi'an Jiaotong University; the part of the university remaining in Shanghai was
renamed Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Tianjin University celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 1995, followed by Xi'an Jiaotong and Shanghai
Jiaotong Universities in 1996. Other leading universities, such as Zhejiang University (1897), Beijing University
(1898), and Nanjing University (1902) also recently celebrated their hundredth anniversaries, one after another.

Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a little
nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really true. The more
you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as possible about the
company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and the services that they
provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect.
It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list
of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you
to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.

Exercise 13:
Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had to recover from the
ravages of war. Substantial progress was achieved from1986 to 1997 in moving forward from an extremely low
level of development and significantly reducing poverty.
Since 2001, Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic liberalization and international
integration. They have moved to implement the structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to
produce more competitive, export-driven industries. .
Vietnam's membership in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and entry into force of the US-Vietnam
Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001.have led to even more rapid changes in Vietnam's trade and
economic regime. Vietnam's exports to the US doubled in 2002 and again in 2003.
Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following over a decade long
negotiation process. This should provide ail important boost to the economy and should help to ensure the
continuation of liberalizing reforms.
Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labor force that is growing by more than one
million people every year. Vietnamese authorities have tightened monetary and fiscal policies to stem high
inflation. Hanoi is targeting an economic growth rate of 7.5-8% during the next five years.

Exercise 14:
In 1986 Vietnam launched a political and economic innovation campaign (Doi Moi) that introduced reforms
intended to facilitate the transition from a centralized economy to a "socialist-oriented market economy." Doi Moi
combined government planning with free-market incentives. The program abolished agricultural collectives,
removed price controls on agricultural goods, and enabled farmers to sell their goods in the marketplace. It
encouraged the establishment of private businesses and foreign investment, including foreign-owned enterprises.
By the late 1990s, .the success of the business and agricultural reforms ushered in under Doi Moi was evident.
More than 30,000 private businesses had been created, and the economy was growing at an annual rate of more
than 7 percent. From the early 1990s to 2005, poverty declined from about 50 percent to 29 percent of the
population. However, progress varied geographically, with most prosperity concentrated in urban areas,
particularly in and around Ho Chi Minh City. In general, rural areas also made progress, as rural housel olds living
57
in poverty declined from 66 percent of the total in 1993to 36 percent in 2002. By contrast, concentrations of
poverty remained in certain rural areas, particularly the northwest, north-central coast, and central highlands.
Government control of the economy and a nonconvertible currency have protected Vietnam from what could have
been a more severe impact resulting from the East Asian financial crisis in 1997.
1. The Vietnamese Doi Moi campaign _______.
A. has not interfered with politics B. has focused on centralized economy.
C. is not in favour of socialism D. came into being in 1986

Exercise 15:
In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around for a
while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells becoming
smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy. A solar car is a vehicle powered by
photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into electrical energy. As a source
of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth of one second (.001), the sun emits
enough energy to fulfill our planet's energy needs for the next 5,000 years. It is a staggering fact, and an exciting
one. Since the energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources such as wind, tides, and heat, solar
energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the entire energy crisis. Despite the appearance
that solar energy may be the least feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar
powered devices and more specifically solar powered cars are beginning to be developed. How do Solar. Cars
work?
The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight. This action generates heat, which the cells then convert
into electrical energy and stores in an on-board battery. This process of conversion is called the photovoltaic
effect. Not surprisingly, such a vehicle has zero emissions, and is very environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, at
the moment photovoltaic cells are extremely inefficient, yet as time progresses the efficiency of these cells will
grow. This will make solar energy and solar cars the fuel and car of the future-a closer reality.
1. According to the text, _______.
A. up to now, we have designed some solar cars B. solar cars have been very .popular for many years
C. we have not produced any solar cars yet D. solar cars are not as much appreciated as other kinds of car

A. the process of operating a solar car B. the process of absorbing photons from the sun
C. the developing of solar cars and solar powered devices
D. the converting of heat from the sun into electricity
Exercise 16:
In the future, genetic engineering will allow us to create the perfect human. It will be hard to get used to.
Parents will order a baby who 'will grow up to become his new job because he is not quite prepared a genius or to
have a Miss World appearance. Also, genetic engineering will allow us to mix plants and animals.
As computers have advanced, they have helped us remember, calculate, organize, and clarify. So it will
become easier to deal with things, and much quicker. At a point in a future time, some may claim that computers
become about as smart as Newton or Einstein. More advanced computers will be able to be creative, respond to
feelings in a feeling way, develop intuition, recognize patterns, and suggest innovative alternatives. There is a
hope if we choose to take action. We can select Internet information wisely, choose healthy computer games, limit
our exposure to television commercials, and select television programs carefully. People will be aware of the
importance of keeping active, getting outside to do more physical activities. We will also plan to make a major
sacrifice the next time we buy a car, take the bus. Everybody will be more concerned about making
environmentally friendly choices, eating healthy, and helping build a healthier society by shopping at better stores
that sell better food.
Most people will be aware that a happy, loving family is a joy to be part of, and that it is a necessary
foundation for building a strong society. But it is extremely important for our future that we maintain a healthy
perspective. We need to value and appreciate the importance of what can be achieved by loving and committed
parents. People need a strong foundation, so it is vital for our society that we encourage parents to work at creating
love, joy, and happiness for their children in a .decent, stable, and productive atmosphere.

Exercise 17:
A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans. In hot deserts, high temperatures
cause rapid loss of water due to sweating, and the absence of water sources with which to replenish it can result in
dehydration and death within a few days. In addition, unprotected humans are also at risk from heatstroke.
59
Humans may also have to adapt to sandstorms in some deserts, not just in their adverse effects on respiratory
systems and eyes, but also in their potentially harmful effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles and
communication equipment. Sandstorms can last for hours, sometimes even days.
Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts 'their home for thousands of years, including the Bedouin,
Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people. Modern technology, including advanced irrigation systems, desalinization and air
conditioning, has made deserts much more hospitable, In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming
has found extensive use.
In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the absence of a
source of heat to melt ice for drinking. Falling through pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a
particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent rapid hypothermia. Starvation is also a hazard; in low
temperatures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat and to move. As with hot deserts,
some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts.
1. The text is about ________.
A. troubles that human beings have to face in a desert B. desert storms and desert inhabitants

Exercise 18:
Approximately one-third of the Earth's land surface is desert, arid land with meager rainfall that supports only
sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals. Deserts have been portrayed as fascinating
environments of adventure and exploration. These arid regions are called deserts because they are dry. They may
be hot. They may be cold. They may be regions of sand or vast areas of rocks with occasional plants.
Deserts are natural laboratories in which to study the interactions of wind and sometimes water on the arid
surfaces of planets. They contain valuable mineral deposits that were formed in the arid environment or that were
exposed by erosion. Because deserts are dry, they are ideal places for human artifacts and fossils to be preserved.
Deserts are also fragile environments. The misuse of these lands is a serious and growing problem in parts of our
world.
There are many animals in the desert. Some are very large, like the kangaroo or the gazelle. Both are big and
have to travel long distances for water at a spring, or an oasis. Another fairly large animal is the addax. The addax
is a desert antelope. They live in the Sahara Desert. All addaxes are herbivores. There are less than 200 of them
left because of hunting and tourists. Some animals crawl along. Examples of these are snakes and lizards. Snakes
rarely drink water; they get their moisture from other prey that they eat. So do others, like the kangaroo rat.
Lizards are commonly found in the desert. They stay out of the sun and move as little as possible. There are also
other animals in the desert. The fennec lives in northern Africa in the Sahara Desert. They are a relative of the fox.
They eat mice, small birds, lizards, and insects. When necessary, they will eat fruit. One more desert animal is the
jerboa. The jerboa is a small, long distance jumper that lives in the desert. They are free drinking animals and they
eat plants, seeds, and bugs.

C. snakes in deserts need more water than any other species
D. addaxes are the most populous species in deserts
Exercise 19:
Asian elephants used to live in the forests from Iraq to Southern China. Since these forests were cut down to
make room for farms and villages, the elephants had to live in small, hilly regions. These small areas cannot
supply enough food for them. An adult elephant eats about 331 pounds of grasses, leaves and other plants each
day. When forests were larger, Asian elephants migrated with the seasons. In this way, they found new food
supplies. The plants and trees could also grow again after elephants left.
Today, there is nowhere for the elephants to go. Experts say that the Asian elephant population is about 55,000
living on a habitat of about 19,000 square miles (30,400 square kilometres). In contrast to this, the African
elephant population is about 10 times this size and live on almost 3 million square miles (4.8 million square
kilometers) of available habitat.
1. How much does an adult elephant eat a day?
A. About 150 kg of grasses leaves and other plants. B. About 331 kg of grasses leaves and other plants.
C. About 19,000 kg of grasses leaves and other plants. D. About 30,400 kg of grasses leaves and other plants.
2. How can Asian elephants find new food supplies?
A. They made forests larger. B. They found other plants.
C. They migrated with the seasons. D. They could grow plants and trees.
3. How many African elephants are there today?
A. 19,000. B. 30,400. C. 55,000. D. 550,000.
4. Which of these sentences is true to the text?
A. Asian elephants’ habitat is bigger than Africans’. B. Asian elephants’ habitat is as big as Africans’.
C. Africans’ habitat is bigger than Asian’. D. Africans’ habitat isn’t so big as Asian’.
5. According to the text, Asian elephants can be extinct because of
A. hunting. B. loss of habitat. C. change of climate. D. polluted environment.
Exercise 20:
By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to exist today. In recent
centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a result of human activities. The passenger
pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its extinction in
1914. The North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market hunters in the 1800s,
came close to sharing the same fate. Bison survive today only because of the efforts of early conservationists.
61
Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever. An essential task that falls to present-day
conservationists is to determine which species are most, endangered, so that conservation resources' can be applied
where action is needed most. Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild is
threatened. World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall mainly within the two most
serious categories of- threat: critically endangered and endangered. What threatens these species' existence? Some
of the top threats are habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human settlement;
pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged
fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines,
food, and tourist souvenirs. The list which conservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of
extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we do not yet know. Hundreds of species
without common names have been left out, which means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few
insects and mollusks are included.
Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the majestic tiger, to the humble
thick-shell pond snail. Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all species play a role in the complex circle of life. All of
us depend on the natural resources of our planet. Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and
beauty of our world is diminished. And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens people as well.
1. According to the first paragraph _______.
A. species extinction is only caused by hunting
B. human beings protect wife life much more than they do harm to them
C. the main cause of species extinction is human activities
D. we can stop radically species extinction by 2025
2. The North American bison _______.
A. was completely extinct in 1800s B. was not the aim of human hunting
C. was raised by settlers in 1800s D. has escaped from extinction thanks to
conservationists
3. Species are categorized _______.
A. to prevent hunting B. to provide food
C. to destroy their habitats D. to give preferential right to conserve
4. Which sentence is true?
A. Medicine is not a factor to cause species extinction.
B. The list which conservationists present does not include all kinds of species.
C. Pollution does nothing to species extinction.
D. Conservationists have good knowledge of all kinds of mollusks.
5. According to the last paragraph, _______.
A. species extinction has no relationship to human beings
B. what threaten plants and animals can do nothing to human beings
C. human beings depend on natural resources to survive
D. not every, species has a role in the circle of life.

Exercise 22:
It is often said that books are always a good friends and reading is an active mental process. Unlike TV, books
make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and become smarter. Reading improves concentration and
focus. Reading books takes brain power. It requires you to focus on what you are reading for long periods. Unlike
magazines, Internet posts or e-Mails that might contain small pieces of information. Books tell the whole story".
Since you must concentrate in order to read, you will get better at concentration. Many studies show if you do not
use your memory; you lose it. Reading helps you stretch your memory muscles. Reading requires remembering
details, facts and figures and in literature, plot lines, themes and characters.
Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when you were at elementary
school you learned how to infer the meaning of one word by reading the context of the other words in the
sentence? While reading books, especially challenging ones, you will find yourself exposed to many new words.
Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to go with it. Why? Because
books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide information that goes deeper than just classroom discussions
By reading more books you become better informed and more of an expert on the topics you read about. This
expertise translates into higher self-esteem. Since you are so well-read, people look to you for answers. Your
feelings about yourself can only get better.
Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information you have got, the richer your
knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by letting you see what other cities and countries have to offer
before you visit them.
1. Books have great influence on ________.
A. TV B. friendship C. brain D. muscles

Exercise 23:
The word “Olympic” comes from the name of the town Olympia in Greece, where the ancient Olympic Games
were always held. The first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C., and the Games took place every four years
after that date until A.D.394..
In 1875, a French scholar and educator, Pierre de Coubertin, proposed that the Games should be revived as an
international competition to encourage both sport and world peace. The first modern Olympic Games were held
in Athens in 1896. Like the ancient Games, the athletes were men only. Women began to take part in the Games
in 1900. Since that time, the Games have been held every four years as in the ancient Greece. The Games,
however, did not take place in 1916, 1940 and 1944 because of the two World Wars.
Only amateur athletes are admitted to the Games, and these words appear at every Olympic opening: “The most
important thing is not to win but to take part.”

Exercise 24:
The 23rd Southeast Asian Games were held in the Philippines from November 27th to December 5th in 2005.
The games were participated by the eleven nations of Southeast Asia. This was the first time that the opening and
closing ceremonies were held in a large open field, despite the fact that Manila has many stadiums. The
organization decided to hold the games at an open space to accommodate the large number of participants and
spectators. As a result, the 2005 SEA Games ranked as having the largest audience - 200,000 people – during the
opening and closing ceremonies. These games were also noted for having the most number of delegates in the
history of the SEA Games. In the end, all participating countries received medals.
Events in men's football actually started on November 20th, prior to the opening ceremony. Water polo events
began on November 21st, women's football on November 23rd, sailing on November 26th, and tennis on
November 26th;
64
The first gold medal of the games was awarded to Singapore on November 25th when their water polo team
came out undefeated during the round-robin tournament round. The Philippine team took the silver medal in that
event, and Malaysia brought home the bronze.
The Games were also considered a valuable opportunity for athletes to gain competition experience and
preparation for the upcoming Asian Games and Olympic Games. It was purposely created to strengthen
friendship, solidarity and understanding among neighboring countries in the region.
This was the third SEA Games to be hosted by the Philippines. The last two times the Philippines hosted the
games were in 1981, and again in 1991.

Exercise 25:
The 22nd SEA Games, hosted this year by Vietnam, has joined the international movement to rid sports of
tobacco. For the first time, the regional sporting event will be tobacco-free under a landmark cooperative
agreement signed in April 2003 between the World Health Organization (WHO), the 22nd SEA Games
Organizing Committee and the Vietnamese Ministry of Health. Hanoi Health Department has organized a press
seminar to celebrate and raise awareness about the tobacco-free SEA Games.
The 22nd SEA Games is the first games hosted by Vietnam and 10 countries from the Southeast Asian region
with nearly 8,000 athletes and coaches will participate. It will be the first tobacco-free international sporting event
in Vietnam, joining other international tobacco-free sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup 2002, and the
Winter Olympic Games 2002.
The 22nd SEA Games will ban all sales, advertising and other promotion of tobacco products, and restricts
smoking in all Games venues. The aim is to protect spectators, athletes, event staff, media and other visitors from
the serious health hazards of second-hand tobacco smoke, as well as to change public attitudes about the social
acceptability of smoking.
Madame Pascale Brudon, WHO Representative in Vietnam, stated, "Vietnam has established 3 years ago a
comprehensive, ambitious national tobacco control policy and a national tobacco control program. The tobacco-
free 22nd SEA Games will be yet another area where Vietnam is leading the way for other countries in the region
and the world in protecting its citizens from the debilitating and disastrous consequences of tobacco use."
WHO has provided funding and technical assistance to the SEA Games Organizing Committee and
Vietnamese Ministry of Health to train of over 4,000 SEA Games organizers and volunteers on the
implementation of the tobacco-free policy. An international team of trainers from the Ministry of Health,
International Organization for Good Temper (lOGT), WHO and International Development Enterprises (IDE)
began a series of national training workshops for volunteers in April, 2003.
The tobacco-free SEA Games are an inspiration and a model for other sport events, big and small, not only in
Vietnam but also in the Southeast Asian and Western Pacific Region.

Exercise 26:
On Monday, May 12, 2008 a violent earthquake, measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale, happened in
southwestern China's Sichuan Province. Hundreds of aftershocks followed in the area. The earthquake destroyed
thousands buildings, roads, schools and hospitals, as well as infrastructure like communication networks and
electrical towers. Thousands of people died or are missing, and more than 45 million people were affected by the
earthquake, which has been the worst natural disaster to hit China for 30 years.
The American Red Cross has contributed $20 million to support the relief and recovery efforts of the Red
Cross Society of China. These funds will be used to assist survivors through the purchase and distribution of relief
supplies, coordination of logistics and transportation of disaster workers to the hardest hit areas. The American
Red Cross has also sent relief experts to the affected area to help monitor and coordinate the response efforts. On
June 6, the American Red Cross co-hosted a forum to address the U.S. response and recovery efforts following the
earthquake. More than 30 representatives from humanitarian organizations, the business companies and the
government participated in the event.
More than 35,000 staff and volunteers with the Red Cross Society of China responded to the disaster by
distributing food, water, tents and other essential items. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies are providing 100,000 tents to help those in need.
The Red Cross Society of China is a very strong organization with extensive experience responding to
disasters. The American Red Cross has long history of working with the Red Cross Society of China, going to
back to famines in 1906 and including severe storms earlier this year. There has been a close contact between the
Red Cross Society of China and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, arid they
have been ready to provide additional support such as disaster workers, relief supplies or financial assistance.
Concerned family and friends in the United States may have difficulty contacting their loved ones because
telecommunication has been out of work by this disaster. If they are trying to reach relatives living in China or
66
those who are citizens of China, the American Red Cross suggests them keep calling or try contacting other family
members who live nearby.

Exercise 27:
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that acts as a
coordinating authority on international public health. Established on 7 April, 1948, and headquartered in Geneva,
Switzerland, the agency inherited the mandate and resources of its predecessor, the Health Organization.
The WHO's constitution, states that its objective is "the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level
of health." Its major task is to combat diseases, especially key infectious diseases, and to promote the general
health of the people of the world. The WHO also sponsors programs to prevent and treat serious epidemics such as
SARS, malaria, and AIDS. The WHO supports the development and distribution of safe and effective vaccines,
pharmaceutical diagnostics, and drugs. After over 2 decades of fighting smallpox, the WHO declared in 1980 that
the disease had been eradicated - the first disease in history to be eliminated by human effort.
The WHO is nearing success in developing vaccines against malaria and aims to eradicate polio within the
next few years. The organization has already endorsed the world's first official HIV/AIDS Tool kit for Zimbabwe
making it an international standard. In addition to its work in eradicating disease, the WHO also carries out
various health-related campaigns, for example, to boost the consumption of fruits and vegetables worldwide and to
discourage tobacco use.
Experts met at the WHO headquarters in Geneva in February, 2007, and reported that their work on pandemic
influenza vaccine development had achieved encouraging progress. More than 40 clinic trials have been
completed or are ongoing. Most have focused on healthy adults. Some companies, after completing safety
analyses in adults, have initiated clinical trials in the elderly and in children. All vaccines so far appear to be safe
arid well-tolerated in all age groups tested.

Exercise 28:
Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas.
Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such as
business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power
than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has become
popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and women
enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socio-
economic development. According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research Centre
under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has
reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members
from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to
27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men
and women. Women account for about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders
and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal
documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender equity" mark
a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great importance
in modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties. Many projects
on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various
mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable conditions for
women to become involved.

Exercise 29:
It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real
equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women
had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was
housework. In many places, women were not even' allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right
to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they thought they were more
intelligent than women. Men often considered women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their
husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters.
Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from
generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key
leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework
such as washing and cooking.
According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day including
working in offices and doing countless household chores without any help from their husbands. In some regions,
the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family. Moreover,
women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas.
Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in
every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he is.
Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children.
1. Which is not women's role in the former days?

st
5. According to the text, women in the 21 century ________.

Exercise 30:
On 8 August 1967, five leaders - the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and
Thailand- sat down together in the main hall of the Department of Foreign Affairs building in Bangkok, Thailand
and signed a document. By virtue of that document, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was
born. The five Foreign Ministers who signed it have been considered as the founders of probably the most
69
successful intergovernmental organization in the developing world today. The document that they signed would be
known as the ASEAN Declaration.
It is a short, simply-worded document containing just five articles. It declares the establishment of an
Association for Regional Cooperation among the Countries of Southeast Asia to be known as the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and spells out the aims and purposes of that Association. These aims and
purposes are about the cooperation in economy, society, culture, techniques, education and other fields, and in the
promotion of regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the principles of the United
Nations Charter. It stipulates that the Association will be open for participation by all States in the Southeast Asian
region subscribing to its aims, principles and purposes. It proclaims ASEAN as representing the collective will of
the nations of Southeast Asia to bind themselves together in friendship and cooperation and, through joint efforts
and sacrifices, secure for their peoples and for posterity the blessings of peace, freedom and prosperity. The goal
of ASEAN, then, is to create, not to destroy.
The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one for each founding member.
Beneath the sheaves is the legend "ASEAN" in blue. These are set on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border.
Brown stands for strength and stability, yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which ASEAN
affairs are conducted. When ASEAN celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 1997, the sheaves on the logo had
increased to ten -representing all ten countries of Southeast Asia and reflecting the colors of the flags of all of
them. In a very real sense, ASEAN and Southeast Asia will be one and the same, just as the founders had
envisioned.

five original Member Countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand. Brunei joined
on 8 January 1984, Vietnam on 28 July 1995, Lao PDR and Myanmar on 23 July 1997, and Cambodia on 30 April
1999. The ASEAN Declaration states that the aims and purposes of the Association are: to accelerate economic
growth, social progress and cultural development in the region and to promote regional peace and stability through
abiding respect for justice and the rule of law in the relationship among countries in the region and adherence to
the principles of the United Nations Charter.
In 2003, the ASEAN Leaders resolved that an ASEAN Community shall be established comprising three
pillars, namely, ASEAN Security Community, ASEAN Economic Community and ASEAN Socio-Cultural
Community.
The ASEAN Vision 2020, adopted by the ASEAN Leaders on the 30 th Anniversary of ASEAN, agreed on a
shared vision of ASEAN as a concert of Southeast Asian nations, outward looking, living in peace, stability and
prosperity, bonded together in partnership in dynamic development and in a community of caring societies.
