Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he
sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first
son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no – it was covered
with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that
smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son
disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season
in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that
the essence of who they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be
Trang 3
measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the
promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.
Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the
rest.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Times are tough. The nightly news is filled with stories of people who have lost their jobs due to the
economic crisis, or lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster. Have you ever seen people who have
just endured an awful situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But
other people focus on what they did not lose, and they start thinking about a better future.
One good piece of advice to remember is that you cannot always control situations or other people.
The only thing you can control is your own personal reaction to bad situations. Sometimes a situation
may really be overwhelming. However, in many cases, you really can influence our own moods by the
way you think about negative situations.
Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One
family cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They
cannot imagine how they will ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life
seems to have been completely lost. In contrast, a second family is crying with joy. All of the people in
Trang 4
their family are unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that everyone has survived. This family
is already trying to figure out how they can recover. You can’t really blame the first family for
experiencing a very normal reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems
to be better off. They are thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events.
Though this scenario is extreme, everyone experiences setbacks that seem just awful at the time. This
could be a job loss, illness, or problems with family members. Nobody gets through life without
having some bad things happen. In these situations, try to focus on the steps you can take to remedy
the situation, instead of how awful the setback is. By doing this, you will be laying the foundation for a
better tomorrow. And you will not suffer as much pain today.
Actually, controlling how you feel and trying to maintain a positive attitude can help you through
many tough situations. The bottom line is, no matter what the problem is, you are more likely to fix it
if you can stay positive and work out a plan. Also, never be afraid to seek help when you need it. The
advice of a friend, family member, or even a professional may be all it takes to get back on track.
It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can
certainly give you an advantage in surviving most of life’s minor setbacks.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Exactly 50 years ago, humanity stepped foot on the surface of the Moon for the first time. It was a
miracle, and one made so powerful because it was so very unlikely. It was hailed as an incredible
success. But the chance of failure was such that authorities had to prepare for the possibility of losing
the astronauts. Those preparations offer a humbling insight into how risky that mission was, and how
high the stakes were. Probably the most potent document from those preparations is the speech that
would have been used to hail the bravery of the astronauts as they were left to their death on the Moon.
It was written to announce to the world that the astronauts had been lost, and that the Moon mission
was a failure. After it was read, the two astronauts would be given a ceremony something like the
burial at sea, but one entirely without precedent. The document was hidden for many years – unused, it
was "quietly tucked away into the record" after the astronauts returned home, as the National Archive
that now holds it notes. But over time it became public, after being revealed by the man who wrote it,
and is now available for the public to read.
It was prepared in the case that the astronauts and their moon lander failed to get back to the main craft
that was floating around in the Moon's orbit ready to bring them home, and contained Neil Armstrong
and Buzz Aldrin's colleague Michael Collins. In that case, it was most likely that those pioneering
explorers would not lose their lives in a single spectacular moment. Instead, they would most likely be
stranded, stuck 250,000 miles from Earth with no way of getting back home. "If they couldn't get back
safely, they'd have to be abandoned on the moon, left to die there," speechwriter William Safire said in
1999. "The men would either have to starve to death or commit suicide."
In the end, and despite some very anxious moments, the crew would explore the lunar surface and
come back down safely. That meant that, instead of announcing their loss, Nixon could instead share
in the astronaut's success. In one of the most famous moments of the mission, he spoke to them in a
phone call that was beamed around the world. He recognised the triumph of their achievement, and
wished them safety for their return.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with
scientists blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the Arctic
islands this summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said it had never
logged so many deaths at once in 40 years of monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to
find so many dead animals,” project leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This
is an example of how climate change affects nature. It is just sad.”
Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker
than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder
temperatures in the region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice
when the precipitation froze. This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to
reach the vegetation they graze on in their usual pastures, the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been
Trang 11
observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them
stomach problems.
A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and weakest
are often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so
many calves last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global
warming,” said Ms Onvik Pedersen.
A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this
year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in
check by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.
Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was
partly to blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater
risk of diseases spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by
3.7C since 1900, more than three times the global average increase of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance
to the town’s “Doomsday” seed vault – which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was
flooded following heavy rainfall.
