V. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their children, may be more
an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American
family was always more varied than we has been led to believe, reflecting the very
different racial, ethnic, class and religious customs among different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current
American
Families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either
have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent
of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty –
five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consist of unmarried
people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually
divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and
therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationship in
family forms other than the traditional one.
40. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?
A. The traditional American family B. The nuclear family
C. The current American family D. The ideal family
41. The writer implies that ______________ .

no children represent ______________ .
A. 1/3 percent of households B. 20 percent of households
C. 7 percent of households D. 3 percent of households
44. Who generally constitutes a one – person household?
A. A single man in his twenties B. An elderly man
C. A single woman in her late sixties D. A divorced woman.

IV. Read the passage and choose the best answer.

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.
Page 32
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.

Page 36
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.

40. Speaking to a person is of non-verbal form of communication.
IV. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many
ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may
be found in every culture. Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a
finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to
Page 58
know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. When you are in
the United States, should greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The
handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or
unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people,
usually women, greet a friend with a hug. Moreover, sign languages convey meaning more
difficult to describe because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural
perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theatre provides performers with an
auditory symbol of approval. Gestures, such as waving and handshaking also
communicate certain cultural messages.
Although nonverbal forms of communication such as signals, signs, symbols and
gestures are very useful, they do have a large number of disadvantages. They usually do
not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. As a
result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended
periods are based on speech. Radios, televisions, and telephones were invented.

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary
and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be
accomplished either at public or government-operated schools, or at private schools.
These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA,
thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American
education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most
impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from
other countries have experienced the American education system and graduated from a
university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education
system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools.
That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the
rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational
or high school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is
essential. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student
will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American
education system and the American school system host more international students than
any other country in the world!

C. There are not many foreign students in the US.
D. Many leaders all over the world have studied in the US.
71. What is the writer's advice?
A. International students should not invest their future education in the US.
B. International students should not study at a top USA university, a top USA college,
a vocational or high school.
C. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student
can make the right academic choices
D. International students should have a thorough understanding of how the American
education system works before going there to study.
There are many issues over computers and the education of today’s children. One
concern that parents face now is when to start educating a child about computers. Parents
and teachers alike have mixed opinions as to when it is appropriate and most beneficial to
the child. Many preschool children learn to work with a mouse and play interactive games
before they learn to write or learn their ABC. It is true that computers can be used as very
effective tools for learning , but at what age do you begin?
Some parents believe that computer education should be much like a young child
taking piano or hockey lessons. They feel that if you start a child early enough you might
find a computer genius. This will help develop the child’s knowledge quickly while they
are still young. Parents who currently work using computers understand the importance of
computer education and desire to give their children a head start.
On the other hand, some parents are concerned that computers deprive children of
their activity and socialization skills. They argue that children become brainwashed and
less socialized by being exposed to computers too early.
72. Parents and teachers don’t know when _____________
A children should play computer games
B. it is suitable time to teach children ABC
C. it is suitable to teach computers to children
D. children learn to work with a mouse

74. Why do parents whose work using computers desire to give their children a head
start?
A. because they understand the importance of computer education.
B. because they would like their children to become a computer genius
C. because they would like their children to play with computer games./

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.
Page 82
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. These celebrations
marked the beginning of a new chapter in Chinese higher education.

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 practise, 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, practise 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.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best
person for the job. Your application or résumé has already exhibited that you are
qualified. Now it is up to you to show how your skills and experience match this position
and this company. The employer will be looking and listening to determine if you are a
good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills
that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths;
arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active
listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate
your interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that
Page 103
the note gets there before the hiring: decision is made. You should also follow up with a
phone call if you do not hear back from the employer within the specified time.

If the door was closed before you entered, make sure you shut the door behind you softly.
Look at the interviewer and confidently say 'Good day sir/madam'.
If the interviewer wants to shake hands, then offer a firm grip first maintaining eye contact
and a smile.
Seek permission to sit down. If the interviewer is standing, wait for them to sit down first
before you take your seat.

immediately set rapport with the interviewer.
The interviewer normally pays more attention if you display an enthusiasm in whatever
you say. This enthusiasm comes across in the energetic way you put forward your ideas.
You should maintain a cheerful disposition throughout the interview.

at the pleasant side of your personality.

honesty. Many interviewees while answering questions, tend to look away. This conveys
you are concealing your own anxiety, fear and lack of confidence. Maintaining an eye
contact is a difficult process. As the circumstances in an interview are different, the value

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

shopping at better stores that sell better food.

necessary foundation for building a strong society. But it is extremely important for our
