Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in
society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website
called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he
thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said about
HappyNews, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news,
misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out the scale.”
Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a
responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in
today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily
Trang 3
lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems.
HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world.
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60
percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of
the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews
gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis.
Question 30: Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

No sooner had the first intrepid male aviators safely returned to Earth than it seemed that women,
too, had been smitten by an urge to fly. From mere spectators, they became willing passengers and finally
pilots in their own right, plotting their skills and daring line against the hazards of the air and the
skepticism of their male counterparts. In doing so they enlarged the traditional bounds of a women's
world, won for their sex a new sense of competence and achievement, and contributed handsomely to the
progress of aviation.
But recognition of their abilities did not come easily. "Men do not believe us capable." The famed
aviator Amelia Earhart once remarked to a friend. "Because we are women, seldom are we trusted to do
an efficient job." Indeed old attitudes died hard: when Charles Lindbergh visited the Soviet Union in 1938
Trang 4
with his wife, Anne–herself a pilot and gifted proponent of aviation – he was astonished to discover both
men and women flying in the Soviet Air Force.
Such conventional wisdom made it difficult for women to raise money for the up – to – date
equipment they needed to compete on an equal basis with men. Yet they did compete, and often they
triumphed finally despite the odds.
Ruth Law, whose 590 – mile flight from Chicago to Hornell, New York, set a new nonstop distance
record in 1916, exemplified the resourcefulness and grit demanded of any woman who wanted to fly. And
when she addressed the Aero Club of America after completing her historic journey, her plainspoken
wordstestified to a universal human motivation that was unaffected by gender: "My flight was done with
no expectation of reward," she declared, "just purely for the love of accomplishment."
Question 35: Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. A Long Flight B. Women in Aviation History
C. Dangers Faced by Pilots D. Women Spectators
Question 36: According to the passage, women pilots were successful in all of the following
EXCEPT___.
A. challenging the conventional role of women B. contributing to the science of aviation

Question 37: What can be inferred from the passage about the United States Air Force in 1938?
A. It had no women pilots. B. It gave pilots handsome salaries.
C. It had old planes that were in need of repair. D. It could not be trusted to do an efficient job.
Question 38: In their efforts to compete with men, early women pilots had difficulty in ______.
A. addressing clubs B. flying nonstop C. setting records D. raising money
Question 39: According to the passage, who said that flying was done with no expectation of reward?
A. Amelia Earhart B. Charles Lindbergh C. Anne Lindbergh D. Ruth Law

For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party
on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent
population of around 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of
March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States. A
weeklong drinking binge is not for anyone, however, and a growing number of American university
students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of
volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to show problems such as poverty, homelessness,
or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can
feel good about. Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding.
While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student
volunteers are able to help people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous.
Students often sleep on the floor of a school or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay
around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to
more traditional spring break hotspots.
Alternative spring break trips appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United
States. Students cite a number of reason for participating. Some appreciate the opportunity to socialize
and meet new friends. Others want to exercise their beliefs about people’s obligation to serve humanity
and make the world a better place. Whatever their reason, these students have discovered something that
gives them rich rewards along with a break from school work.
Question 38. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Students’ travelling preferences B. A traditional approach to spring breaks
C. American students’ social life D. Students’ alternative spring breaks
Trang 5
Question 39. How many university students travel to Panama Beach City every March for spring break?

Question 41. The word “them” in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. degrees B. people C. projects D. students
Question 42. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem that alternative spring break trips

All over the country young people are entering a world of homelessness and poverty, according to a
recent report by the housing group, Shelter. Nearly 150,000 young people aged between sixteen and
twenty-five will become homeless this year, says Shelter. Some of the young homeless may sleep out in
the open in such places as 'cardboard city' in London, where people of all ages sleep in the open air in
their only homes - cardboard boxes. Others may find accommodation in shelters run by voluntary
organizations or get a place in a hostel, which gives them board for up to ten weeks.’
But who are these people? Those who are seeking a roof over their heads are mostly not runaways
but “throwaways” - people who have been thrown out of their homes or forced to leave because of
parental divorce, an unsympathetic step-parent or one of many other reasons.
Take the case of one sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, Alice. She did not come from a poor home and
had just passed her exams with good results. The Shelter team met her in a hostel where she was doing
her physics homework. It turned out that her parents had thrown her out of her home for no other reason
that she wanted to do Science Advanced Level exams - which her parents refused her permission to do,
saying that sciences were unladylike!
Shelter says that the Government's laws do nothing to help these youngsters. Rising rents, the
shortage of cheap housing and a cut in benefits for young people under the age of twenty-five are causing
a national problem, according to Shelter. The recent changes in the benefit laws mean that someone aged
between sixteen and twenty-five gets less than older people and they can only claim state help if they
prove that they left home for a good reason.
Shelter believes that because of the major cuts in benefits to young people, more and more are being
forced to sleep on the streets. Shelter also points out that if you are homeless, you can't get a job because
employers will not hire someone without a permanent address; and if you can't get a job, you are
homeless because you don't have any money to pay for accommodation. It's an impossible situation.

A Working Vacation
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get your dream job? It can take years to get the education
and develop the skills you need for the perfect job. However, there is a way to experience your dream job
without having to get the required training or degree. Since 2004, Brian Kurth’s company, Vocation
Vacations, has been connecting people with mentors who have the jobs of their dreams.
Kurth had been working for a phone company before starting his own company. He didn’t like his job, and
he had a long time to think about it on his drive to and from work. He also thought about his dream job
while driving. He was interested in becoming a dog trainer, but he didn’t want to take any chances and
switch to a field he didn’t have experience in. He really wanted to know what the job was like and if it was
realistic for him to work towards his goal. So, he found a mentor – a dog trainer that could tell him about
the job and everything it involved. After that, he helped his friends find mentors to explore jobs they were
interested in. They thought it was helpful to talk to people who had their dream jobs before spending lots
of time and money getting the training they needed for those jobs.
Kurth saw how much this helped his friends, so he decided to turn it into his business. He started Vocation
Vacations in 2004, and by 2005, the company was offering experience with over 200 dream jobs. Today,
about 300 mentors work with the company to share their knowledge about their jobs. Customers pay to
experience the job of their dreams and work with these mentors to see what a job is really like. A “job
vacation” costs between $350 and $3,000 and can be for one to three days. Many people use Vocation
Vacations to see if their dream job is a career path they want to continue. Others do it just to experience the
job of their dreams one time.
Vocation Vacations jobs are in the fields of fashion, food, entertainment, sports and animals. Many people
want to try glamorous jobs. For example, they want to try working as actors, music producers,
photographers and fashion designers. According to Kurth, some other popular dream jobs are working as
bakers, hotel managers and wedding planners.

correct answer to each of the questions 12–19.
Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is through ordinary or
“background” extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by more adaptable life forms.
The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in relatively short periods of biological time.
There have been five such extinctions, each provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some
geological eruption, climate shift, or space junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that another
mass extinction of species is currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger.
How are we are doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our assault on the
ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to bulldozer and chainsaw.
Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable. In Hawaii more than half of the native
birds are now gone – some 50 species. Such carnage has taken place all across the island communities of
the Pacific and Indian oceans. While many species were hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to
the „introduced predators’ that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat.
Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed. Hunting is no longer the major culprit, although rare
birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and internal organs, or taken as
savage pets. Today the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and
insects need to survive. The draining and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food
chain and our own seafood industry. Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean
biodiversity. Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the most global
biodiversity is at risk. The shinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon river basins and such place
as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare existing nowhere else. As those precious
hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture and cropland, such species disappear forever.

The best explainer videos are realized by great background score. When was the last time you watched a
silent movie? Never? Not for a while? A long while? Even if you remember watching one, it would still
have had a background score, or you’ve accidentally pressed the mute button!
The importance of background music and sound effects for your explainer video, therefore, cannot be
overstated. You may not need a full blown orchestra or classy jazz tones to create the mood, but whether
Trang 3
going for a subtle effect, a professional demonstration or simply trying to attract customers, music is a
must. Explainer videos have the emotional quotient working for them and music is just going to add more
to make the viewers relate to the pain points you are highlighting in your video. Imagine if your favorite
video game has no background music or sound effects to back the amazing graphics? Would you play it
with the same feel and excitement? Nah! Same is the case with your explainer videos. They need to and
should have apt sound effects to make them worth your viewer’s time.
While the focus of explainer videos production is more on passing the desired information and explaining
technical and complex procedures easily, it doesn’t mean you’ll be distracting your viewers with the
background music. The sound effects and music is not going to take the message away from your
explainer, it’s just going to enhance it and turn it more watchable and share-able. Even if your video
doesn’t require a background score, it must include some sound effects or else it would be not so good an
experience for those who choose to watch it.

In our connected globalized world, the languages which dominate communications and business,
Mandarin, Hindi, English, Spanish and Russian amongst others, are placing small languages spoken in
Trang 4
remote places under increasing pressure. Fewer and fewer people speak languages such as Liki, Taushiro
and Dumi as their children shift away from the language of their ancestors towards languages which
promise education, success and the chance of a better life. While to many parents, this may appear a
reasonable choice, giving their offspring the opportunity to achieve the sort of prosperity they see on
television, the children themselves often lose touch with their roots. However, in many places the more
reasonable option of bilingualism, where children learn to speak both a local and a national language, is
being promoted. This gives hope that many endangered languages will survive, allowing people to
combine their links to local tradition with access to wider world culture.
While individuals are free to choose if they wish to speak a minority language, national governments
should be under no obligation to provide education in an economically unproductive language, especially
in times of budget constraints. It is generally accepted that national languages unite and help to create
wealth while minority regional languages divide. Furthermore, governments have a duty to ensure that
young people can fulfil their full potential, meaning that state education must provide them with the
ability to speak and work in their national language and so equip them to participate responsibly in
national affairs. People whose language competence does not extend beyond the use of a regional tongue
have limited prospects. This means that while many people may feel a sentimental attachment to their
local language, their government’s position should be one of benign neglect, allowing people to speak
the language, but not acting to prevent its eventual disappearance.
Many PhD students studying minority languages lack the resources to develop their language skills, with
the result that they have to rely on interpreters and translators to communicate with speakers of the
language they are studying. This has a detrimental effect on the quality of their research. At the same
time, they have to struggle against the frequently expressed opinion that minority languages serve no
useful purpose and should be allowed to die a natural death. Such a view fails to take into account the fact
that a unique body of knowledge and culture, built up over thousands of years, is contained in a language
and that language extinction and species extinction are different facets of the same process. They are part
of an impending global catastrophe which is beginning to look unavoidable.

question.
The world’s oldest post office, which has been operating in Sanquhar, Scotland, for more than 300 years,
faces an uncertain future. Current owner and stamp collector, Manzoor Alam, and his wife, Nazra, have
been forced to put the business and its accompanying cottage on the market due to ill health.
The Alams are “heartbroken” to leave the post office, and are concerned that if a buyer cannot be found
its rich history could be lost. “It was my husband who was always the one most interested in stamps and
the postal service but over the last few years of working here it has grown on me too,” said Mrs Alam.
The couple are the post office’s 16th postmasters, and if they become the last, the title will fall to a
Stockholm branch, which opened in 1720.
Dumfries and Galloway councillor, Andrew Wood, said lots of rural areas were struggling to keep their
post offices open. He said it would be a “sad day” if the business folded. “I was wondering if the
community could arrange a buyout but it shouldn’t come down to that,” he said. “We’re a wealthy
country and should be able to have them in good-sized towns.”
Trang 3
The property is on the market for £275,000, and includes a three-bed cottage with two bathrooms, a large
living room, and garden with outbuildings. Agent Humberstones suggests the outbuilding could be a
holiday let, tea room or postal museum, as Mr Alam had planned. “My ambition is to promote the rich
heritage of the past by establishing a postal museum — the only one in Scotland — and combining it with
a modern business, securing this wonderful post office for future generations,’” he had said when he took
on the business.

Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They represent how
far the human population has come in terms of community development. Many positive things come from
urbanization, but there are also negatives. This article will discuss and present data on the implications of
urbanization on the physical health of humans living in these large urban areas.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than
modern countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country experiencing these
problems is China. China is a country that in the past 30–40 years went from being an agrarian based
society to a significant industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect caused the need for more
centralized cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and living spaces within a close proximity. This
is what is known as urbanization. In most recent decades, since China’s change to being more of an
industrial based economy, the country has experienced record high numbers of people migrating within
Trang 4
its borders. In effect, the number of cities with over 500,000 people has more than doubled. These
migrations are typically of people from rural areas of China moving to the new urban areas. Due to this
large influx in the urban population, there are many possibilities for health challenges among these
people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air pollution. Air
pollution is defined as any harmful substance being suspended in the air. This could include particulate
matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or chemicals like CO2 or
Methane (which are also products of plants and refineries as well as cars and other modes of
transportation). Due to a vast number of people in these urbanized cities, the air pollution is known to be
very extreme. These conditions can lead to many different health problems such as: Asthma,
cardiovascular problems or disease, and different types of cancer (most commonly lung cancer). When
exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can experience even more detrimental
health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung capacity and health, being more susceptible to
respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations’ health is people’s change in diet. For instance,
urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also more than likely
not as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar. Because this food is so
accessible, people tend to eat it more. This increase in consumption of low quality food can then lead to
diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health conditions.

Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order of distance from the sun. It is well
placed for observation for several months in every year and on average is the brightest of the planets
apart from Venus, though for relatively brief periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter’s less than 10-hour
rotation period gives it the shortest day in the solar system in so far as the principal planets are
concerned. There are no true seasons on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the perpendicular of the
orbital plane is only just over 3°-less than that for any other planet.
The most famous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red spot. It has shown variations in both intensity and
color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns after a few years. At its greatest extent it
may be 40,000 kilometers long and 14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of
Earth. Though the latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in longitude. Over the past
century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 1200°. The latitude is generally very
close to -22°. It was once thought that the Red Spot might be a solid or semisolid body floating in
Jupiter’s outer gas. However, the Pioneer and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the
Red Spot to be a phenomenon of Jovian meteorology. Its longevity may well due to its exceptional
size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be permanent. Several smaller red
spots have been seen occasionally but have not lasted.
Question 38. According to the passage, which planet typically shines the most brightly?
A. Earth B. Jupiter C. Venus D. Mars
Question 39. The word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to ____________
A. Jupiter B. The Great Red Spot C. intensity D. color
Question 40. The word "exceptional" in paragraph 2 mostly means____________

A. Jupiter is bigger than all other planet in the solar system
B. A day in Jupiter is nearly 10 hours long
C. The Red Great Spot moves more vertically than horizontally
D. Scientists have proof showing that smaller red spots are increasing their size to become other Great
Red Spots.
Question 42. The passage was probably taken from____________
A. an art journal B. a geology magazine
C. a high school textbook D. an archaeology book

Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New York
Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last
year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle
symbolized the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time.
Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and left-
handed. He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. He was a
wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain Americas fascination with him. Perhaps it was because
he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from Oklahoma. His career, from
the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the American
dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who wins without
seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was Mickey Mantle.
But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played
without complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank
to forget his father’s early death.
It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and
accelerated the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life
and warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped.
Despite a liver transplant operation that had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a
recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the question.
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first
thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature;
neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys.
It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking
water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to the
bathroom more easily.
Trang 3
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that water
in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to drink
some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and
not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with
normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A
little more water each day could make you much healthier.

of the question.
Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too busy to listen to their
stories from the olden days.
A study of 1,000 five to 18 year-olds reveals just 21 per cent will visit their older relatives to hear about
how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was living in the war, and
how they met the love of their life. More than half of youths have no idea what job their grandparent did
before retirement – admitting they’d never thought to ask. Sadly, one in 10 admitted they are simply not
interested in their grandmother’s or grandad’s previous job or talents and interests, and a quarter only turn
up to see them for pocket money. But 23 per cent claim the reason they don’t know anything about their
older relatives is because they don’t really get the chance to talk properly.
Trang 4
Geoff Bates, spokesman for McCarthy & Stone’s Inspirational Generation campaign, said: “We know this
generation have lived full lives with heroic tales to tell and so much to offer, but how many of us have
actually thought to ask these questions of our older family members? We want to shout about the amazing
feats retirees have achieved in their lifetime and put the spotlight on the wonderfully colorful lives of
today’s older people. We are calling on parents and children to talk to their grandparents, to find out what
they have done in their lives – and continue to do, and tell us all about it so we can give them the credit
they deserve.”
Researchers found that although 65 per cent of youngsters do see their grandparents every single week, 37
per cent claim this is only because their parents want them to. And while 39 per cent talk to their
grandparents on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a week – 16 per cent once a day –
conversation is rarely focused on what they are doing or have done in the past. Four in 10 kids have no
idea what their grandparents proudest achievements are, while 30 per cent don’t know if they have any
special skills or talents. And 42 per cent don’t spend any time talking about their grandparent’s history –
and are therefore clueless about what their grandmother or grandad was like when they were younger.
Perhaps due to this lack of communication and respect, just six per cent of children say they look up to
their grandparents as a role model and inspiration. However, grandchildren are agreed their grandparents
are both loving and friendly, while 43 per cent think they’re funny – with 23 per cent admitting they often
have more fun with their elderly relatives than their parents.

In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a
greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily
available, renewable resources that are both cost-effective and earth-friendly. Two such resources are
solar power and geothermal power. Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so
abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar
energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. In
the US alone, more than 100,000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar
panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use
of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal
power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam
that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which
produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of
fossil fuel resources. And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is
fairly simple. A prime example of effective geothermal use is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal
activity where over 80 percent of private homes are heated by geothermal power. Solar and geothermal
energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources. The time is
long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on a global scale.
Question 30: According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources?
A. Because fossil fuels are no longer available.
B. Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.
C. Because they are free and available worldwide.
D. Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage
Question 31: The word “harnessing” in the first paragraph can best be replaced by__________?
A. capturing B. harassing C. depleting D. exporting
Question 32: All of the following statements are true about geothermal energy EXCEPT__________.
Trang 5
A. it is abundant in specific geographical areas
B. it is more abundant than fossil fuel resources
C. it is used without success in Iceland
D. it is a promising renewable alternative
Question 33: The word “which” in paragraph 2 refers to__________.
A. hot water B. steam C. a generator D. the surface
Question 34: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
C. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
When a popular book gets made into a movie, there will always be a debate about whether the novel
or film is better. The filmmakers always have to consider certain things: do they want to follow the
book closely to please dedicated readers, or do they want to change parts of the book if they don’t
translate well on-screen? No matter what they do, there will always be people who feel the movie will
never be as good as the book, people who will love the movie without ever reading the book, and
people who enjoy both.
The vampire series Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer, became so popular that movie companies wanted
to produce it for the big screen. Most Twilight fans were excited about seeing characters such as
Edward and Bella “come to life,” but there were other fans who did not trust the movie script. They
assumed the scriptwriters would change parts of the story to make it seem more interesting as a movie.
By the time the first Twilight movie was released, millions of people had read the series. Many of
these people went on to watch the film, which made $35.7 million just on its opening day. While many
Trang 6
fans and critics liked it and said the movie more or less followed the book’s storyline, some fans were
not impressed. One change that angered them was that certain sound effects were added to the movie,
such as a “whooshing” sound when the vampires jumped. This was not mentioned in the book, and
many fans felt that it was too distracting.
Those who liked the movie said they enjoyed the light mood and excitement. This was very different
from the book. The writing in Twilight is dark and gloomy, like many vampire novels. The movie,
however, added more energy to the story and more personality to the characters. For example, many
characters in the book are portrayed as being quiet, and they spend most of their time at school. But in
the movie, the characters are cooler and funnier, one scene even shows them going surfing together.
The director of the first movie, Catherine Hardwicke, thought it was important for the characters to be
believable. She wanted them to have a wide variety of emotions, since the series is for, and about,
teenagers.
In the end, the films were considered a success, even if there were both happy and unhappy fans. It’s
a great accomplishment to make films that are watched by millions of people, and you can’t expect to
be able to please everyone all the time.

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products,
they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most
important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers,
only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to
gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the
empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to
persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food
with, and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy
or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can
educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there
are trees their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing it
being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on
hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in
which crops grow so well, when all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.
Question 38. In the writer's opinion, _____________, or the forests slowly disappear.
A. people shouldn't draw benefit from the tree
B. measures must be taken
C. government must realize the serious results
D. unless trees never be cut down
Question 39. The word “bind ” in the passage probably means___________
A. to make wet B. to wash away C. to make stay together D. to improve
Question 40. In the last two paragraphs the writer wanted to make it clear that____________
A. where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor
B. where there are no trees, the land might become desert slowly
C. where there are many trees, there are fewer floods
Trang 5
D. floods will make the land become desert
Question 41. It’s a great pity that in many places____________
A. man is not eager to make profits from trees
B. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees
C. man hasn’t realised the importance of trees to him
D. man is only interested in building empire
Question 42. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they
can ____________
A. keep him from the hot sunshine B. make him draw quick profit from them
C. enable him to build warships D. protecthim from drought and floods
PERCEPTIONS OF ANIMALS ACROSS CULTURES
When living and working in another country, there are numerous things to consider apart from the more
obvious ones of climate, language, religion, currency, etc. Some important considerations are less
obvious. For example, do you have a pet or do you enjoy a hobby such as horse riding? Your animal or
hobby may be perceived in a completely different light in another culture so it’s important to consider the
significance given to specific animals in different parts of the world and general perceptions towards
them.
One example which is often mentioned in popular press is the case of dogs. In some cultures,
like the US or UK, dogs are loved and considered a great pet to have at home and with the family. In
other cultures, such as those where Islam is the majority religion, dogs may be perceived as dirty or
dangerous. Muslims treatment of dogs is still a matter of debate amongst Islamic scholars, while these
animals are widely considered by many Western cultures to be “mans best friend”, the Koran describes
them as “unhygienic”. Muslims will therefore avoid touching a dog unless he can wash his hands
immediately afterwards, and they will almost never keep a dog in their home.
In Iran, for instance, a cleric once denounced “the moral depravity” of dog owners and even demanded
their arrest. If you are an international assignee living and working in Saudi Arabia or another Arabic
country, you should remember this when inviting Arab counterparts to your house in case you have a dog
as a pet. This is just one example of how Islam and other cultural beliefs can impact on aspects of
everyday life that someone else may not even question. A Middle Eastern man might be very surprised
when going to Japan, for instance, and seeing dogs being dressed and pampered like humans and carried
around in baby prams!
Dogs are not the only animals which are perceived quite differently from one culture to another. In India,
for example, cows are sacred and are treated with the utmost respect. Conversely in Argentina, beef is a
Trang 6
symbol of national pride because of its tradition and the high quality of its cuts. An Indian working in
Argentina who has not done his research or participated in a cross cultural training programme such as
Doing Business in Argentina may be surprised at his first welcome dinner with his Argentinean
counterparts where a main dish of beef would be served.
It is therefore crucial to be aware of the specific values assigned to objects or animals in different cultures
to avoid faux-pas or cultural misunderstandings, particularly when living and working in another culture.
Learning how people value animals and other symbols around the world is one of the numerous cultural
examples discussed in Communicaid’s intercultural training courses. Understanding how your
international colleagues may perceive certain animals can help you ensure you aren’t insensitive and it
may even provide you with a good topic for conversation.

A. Talking about different perceptions with others will help you overcome insensitivity.
B. To avoid cultural shocks, people should not live or work in another culture.
C. It’s important to value the objects or animals in different countries before going there.
D. Understanding different perceptions of animals will help you avoid faux-pas in another nation.
Question 44. According to paragraph 2, which sentence is INCORRECT?
A. The dog is a typical example of different views in the world about animals.
B. Dogs are well-treated and loved in the US and UK.
C. Muslims are those considering dogs as their best pets at home.
D. People whose religion is Islam don’t like having dogs in their home.
Question 45. The word “unhygienic” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to____________
A. unhealthy B. undependable C. unreliable D. unacceptable

Women often complain that the men in their lives are not romantic enough. But men sometimes have
trouble expressing their feelings, often resorting to cheesy Hallmark cards or pricey bejeweled baubles to
do the job for them. But there is a far better way to be romantic and it doesn’t involve spending a fortune
or even opening your mouth.
In the days before courting consisted of hanging out and getting drinks, courting was a formal and
dignified endeavor. Symbols were used to express feelings and thoughts deemed too special for mere
words. During the Victorian Era, a whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving
of flowers. Everything from the type and size of the flower to the way it was held or presented conveyed
layers of meaning and communicated a gentleman’s feelings and intentions. Each bouquet contained a
secret message for a lady to eagerly interpret and endlessly dissect.
These days giving flowers has become a somewhat ho-hum cliché. Resurrecting this Victorian tradition
will infuse the gesture with new life and romance and bring back some of the subtly, mystery, and fun of
Trang 3
courtship. Your lady will swoon that you put far more thought into your selection of flowers than
grabbing a bouquet out of the case at Wal-Mart. You’ll come off as a real gentleman and a hopeless
romantic. It can become an amazing tradition you’ll both enjoy. Seriously, women eat this stuff up.
Of course, even women nowadays have forgotten the meanings of flowers. So buy your lady a flower
dictionary. And keep a copy for yourself (it’s important that you both use the same reference, as the
meanings were never set in stone and can sometimes vary from book to book). Then, each time you
present her with a bouquet, she can search the volume to find what secret messages you have embedded
in the flowers.

of the question.
Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to use
them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without,
they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the
Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place
in the future because of the plastic bags.
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic
bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very popular with
both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a
hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used
Trang 4
every year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India,
China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is further
exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India.
Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the
environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and
streets. And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes. About 100,000 animals, such as
dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest plastic
bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even
after the death and decomposition of the animal. Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another
victim may ingest it. One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. The
decomposition takes about 400 years. No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic!
Thus, save the environment for the future generations as well as animals.
Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this non-
renewable resource increasingly. And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed
every year around the world. Surely, this precious resource should not be wasted on producing plastic
bags, should it? Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life. It is necessary for our energy requirements
- for our factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on. Without viable alternative sources of
energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the
entire world grinding to a halt.
So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping.
You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag.
Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. These can come into use for various purposes,
like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones. While governments may be working out ways
to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the
responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but
are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to
plastic whenever and wherever possible. Cut down your use of plastic, and do your bit to save our planet.
