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 In the early days of the United States, postal charges were paid by the recipient and charges varied with the distance carried. In 1825, the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery, but these carriers received no government salary and their entire ‘compensation on what they were paid by the recipients of indi In 1847 the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp, which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay. Besides, the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address. In Philadelphia, for example, with a population of 150,000, people still had to go to the post office to get their mail. The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail. It is no wonder that, during the years of these cumbersome arrangements, private letter-carrying and express businesses developed. Although their activities were only semilegal, they thrived, and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they were a half-day speedier than the government mail. The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had. Finally, in 1863, Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary, and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery. But this delivery service was at first confined to cities, and free home delivery became a mark of urbanism. As late as 1887, a town had to have 10,000 people to be eligible for free home delivery. In 1890, of the 75 million people in the United States. Fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors. The rest, nearly three-quarters of the population, still received no mail unless they went to their post office. Question 6: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The increased use of private mail services. B, The development of a government postal system. C. A comparison of urban and rural postal services. D. The history of postage stamps.

Free postage stamps Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Desertification is the process by which once fertile lands in sub-humid, arid, and semi-arid areas becomes infertile desert. These changes can be caused by climatic variations and by human activities. Much modern desertification is the result of heavy demands by increasing populations for land on which ‘crops can be raised and cattle can graze, The biggest problems of desertification are the loss of biodiversity and productive capacity. These effects can be seen in the U.S. Southwest, where many once-dominant bunchgrasses have been wiped out and replaced by creosotebush shrublands since the early 1900s. Another place these changes are evident is on the central highland plateau of Madagascar, where ten percent of the entire country has undergone the desertification process. This terrible loss of vegetation and farmland is due to the slash and burn agricultural practices used by the indigenous people One of the major modern causes of the desertification process is the grazing of livestock beyond the sustainable limit for a piece of land. These cows and sheep pound the soil with their hooves, which causes the substrate to become compacted and decreases its ability to absorb moisture, The weight and constant stomping of the livestock also grinds the soil into finer particles. All of these activities make the soil more vulnerable to erosion by wind and water. The grazing activity of the livestock as well as the collection of ‘wood for fires also reduce and eliminate the plants that bind the soil. Another cause of desertification is the over-farming of land, As fertile soil is used to plant crops, the crops are harvested, and the land is reused. Eventually it is stripped of its minerals and moisture. As farmers break up the land to plant new crops, the soil is left exposed to the forces of erosion. These poor farming practices contributed to the desertification of the midwestern United States in the 1930s. This economic disaster that drove a large portion of the population away from their homes as they attempted to abandon unproductive lands was termed the Dust Bowl. Desertification is occurring rapidly over large portions of the People's Republic of China, Because the populations of rural areas have increased since the middle of the 20th century and species of livestock which require higher food intakes have been introduced, desertification is on the rise. As desertification has been recognized as a major threat to biodiversity, some countries have developed biodiversity action plans to reverse the ill effects. These plans have been designed to limit the damaging factors and to protect the endangered flora and fauna as well, Question 13. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The process of desertification B. The loss of biodiversity C. Ways to combat desertification ‘D. Causes and effects of desertification Question 14, According to paragraph 3, soil gets more affected by erosion because of.

Advertising has a major influence on everyday life. In order to be successful, advertisements need to attract the attention of customers and convince them that they need to buy the product being advertised. Four main techniques are used to create effective advertisements. Appeal is the most important technique. Some products are promoted by the use of factual appeal. This, involves explaining how a product is made or how it works so as to assure the customers that the product is superior to all other products on the market. Other advertisements target people’s emotions. For example, an advertisement may try to convince customers that they will be more popular or attractive if they use a particular product. This technique is referred to as emotional appeal. Both emotional and factual appeals are powerful advertising techniques. Another technique employed in advertising is the use of slogans. Slogans are short phrases which are easy to remember. American Express uses the slogan “Don’t leave home without it!” This slogan is used repeatedly so that people readily associate it with the credit card. ‘The third technique is the use of testimonials. The term “testimonial” refers to advertisements which have a person recommending a particular product, Famous people such as athletes, musicians, and actors are often used to provide testimonials. The final technique is repetition. This means running advertisements frequently in various media forms so that itis difficult for consumers to escape the message. For example, advertisements for Coca Cola can be seen in newspapers and magazines, on television, billboards, and the Internet. Repetition has played a key role in increasing Coca Cola’s popularity. ans) VIP 90 - TONG ON TRONG DIEM VA GIAI DE DY’ DOAN - TY TIN TANG 1-2 DIEM TRONG 4 TUAN CUO!PRO 3M/PRO 3MPLUS - ON LUYEN TOAN DIEN ~ CHINH PHUC DIEM 9+ MOI KI THI Theo doi Page : Hoe Tiéng Anh cling ¢6 Vil Mai Phuong dé hoc GIO!

TENG ANH HON mai ngay cling c6. DICH BAI: In the early days of the United States, postal charges were paid by the recipient and charges varied with the distance carried. In 1825, the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery, but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation on what they were paid by the recipients of individual letters. In 1847 the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp, which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay. Besides, the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address. In Philadelphia, for example, with a population of 150,000, people still had to go to the post office to get their mail, The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail. It is no wonder that, during the years of these cumbersome arrangements, private letter-carrying, and express businesses developed. Although their activities were only semilegal, they thrived, and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they were a half-day speedier than the government mail. The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had. Finally, in 1863, Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary, and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery. But this delivery service was at first confined to cities, and free home delivery became a mark of urbanism, As late as 1887, a town had to have 10,000 people to be eligible for free home delivery. In 1890, of the 75 million people in the United States. Fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors. The rest, nearly three- quarters of the population, still received no mail unless they went to their post office.

Desertification is the process by which once fertile lands in sub-humid, arid, and semi-arid areas becomes infertile desert. These changes can be caused by climatic variations and by human activities. Much modern desertification is the result of heavy demands by increasing populations for land on which crops can be raised and cattle can graze. The biggest problems of desertification are the loss of biodiversity and productive capacity. These effects can be seen in the U.S. Southwest, where many once-dominant bunchgrasses have been wiped out and replaced by creosotebush shrublands since the early 1900s. Another place these changes are evident is on the central highland plateau of Madagascar, where ten percent of the entire country has undergone the desertification process. This terrible loss of vegetation and farmland is due to the slash and burn agricultural practices used by the indigenous people One of the major modern causes of the desertification process is the grazing of livestock beyond the sustainable limit for a piece of land. These cows and sheep pound the soil with their hooves, which causes the substrate to become compacted and decreases its ability to absorb moisture, The weight and constant stomping of the livestock also grinds the soil into finer particles. All of these activities make the soil more vulnerable to erosion by wind and water. The grazing activity of the livestock as well as the collection of wood for fires also reduce and eliminate the plants that bind the soil, Another cause of desertification is the over-farming of land, As fertile soil is used to plant crops, the crops are harvested, and the land is reused. Eventually it is stripped of its minerals and moisture. As farmers break up the land to plant new crops, the soil is left exposed to the forces of erosion. These poor farming practices contributed to the desertification of the midwestern United States in the 1930s. This economic disaster that drove a large portion of the population away from their homes as they attempted to abandon unproductive lands was termed the Dust Bowl. Desertification is occurring rapidly over large portions of the People's Republic of China, Because the populations of rural areas have increased since the middle of the 20th century and species of livestock which require higher food intakes have been introduced, desertification is on the rise. As desertification has been recognized as a major threat to biodiversity, some countries have developed biodiversity action plans to reverse the ill effects, These plans have been designed to limit the damaging factors and to protect the endangered flora and fauna as well.

In order to be successful, advertisements need to attract the attention of customers and convince them that they need to buy the product being advertised. Four main techniques are used to create effective advertisements. Appeal is the most important technique. Some products are promoted by the use of factual appeal. This involves explaining how a product is made or how it works so as to assure the customers that the product is superior to all other products on the market. Other advertisements target people’s emotions. For example, an advertisement may try to convince customers that they will be more popular or attractive if they use a particular product. This technique is referred to as emotional appeal. Both emotional and factual appeals are powerfull advertising techniques. Another technique employed in advertising is the use of slogans. Slogans are short phrases which are easy to remember. American Express uses the slogan “Don’t leave home without it!” This slogan is used repeatedly so that people readily associate it with the credit card. The third technique is the use of testimonials. The term “testimonial” refers to advertisements which have a person recommending a particular product. Famous people such as athletes, musicians, and actors are often used to provide testimonials. The final technique is repetition. This means running advertisements frequently in various media forms so that it is difficult for consumers to escape the message. For example, advertisements for Coca Cola can be seen in newspapers and magazines, on television, billboards, and the Intemet. Repetition has played a key role in increasing Coca Cola’s popularity.
