SECTION III: READING COMPREHENSION (6 pts)

PART 1: Read the text and choose the best answer. Write your answers (A, B, C, or D) in the
numbered box. (2 pts)

Football academies were set up by leading football clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool so
their coaches could run trials to identify and train talented boys from as young as eight as potential
players for their first team. All the big football clubs have one, and other less well known teams
run their own school of excellence.
This means that in Britain there are at least 9,000 boys at any one time attending academies after
school who think they are going to be a famous footballer. Unfortunately, for most this isn’t the
case. One eight year old was selected for Chelsea academy and he went from being top of his class
at school to being the boy who was messing around at the back. His mother asked him why he
wasn’t trying hard at school anymore. His reply was that he was going to be a goalkeeper and be
rich so he needn’t to. In the end he only lasted a year in the academy but, luckily for him, he was
still young enough to recover and not be so discouraged that he never played football again.
But football is not unique. Any sport or other field where only a few can get to the top has an
invisible layer of also-rans. These people are very talented and do their absolute best but
ultimately it will not pay off because they are just not exceptional enough. In football, this effect is
magnified because the numbers of players selected for training by academies is so huge. Most of
these won’t get into a team and most won’t become professionals.
This doesn’t put off all the boys who are spotted by the big football clubs and are desperate to join
the academies. The benefits are still there for them of course. They get to play as much football as
possible – the coaches teach them to pass, tackle and practice standard techniques, moves and
penalty kicks over and over again. The skills become part of them as they are with professional
players, so they are automatic and the boys don’t have to think about them when they’re on the
pitch. Experts say this is the way to do it. Otherwise you end up with players who are much more
likely to get injured.

1. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Football clubs C. Football coaches
B. Future football stars D. Football techniques
2. What does “one” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. a trial B. a coach C. a first team D. an academy
Trang 3/6
3. What did one boy’s mother notice after he joined an academy?
A. His schoolwork suffered because football took up too much time.
B. There was little support at school for his changed circumstances.
C. There was a significant change in his attitude towards school.
D. He refused to play football at school any more.
4. What is the writer referring to by “an invisible layer of also-rans” in the third paragraph?
A. those footballers who will not in the end be rewarded for their hard work
B. the fact that there are fewer opportunities for professional footballers than there used to be
C. the number of footballers who are not willing to put in the amount of effort required
D. the fact that the wrong people are sometimes selected to play in the best teams
5. What advantage of the academies is mentioned in the fourth paragraph?
A. The coaches can adapt techniques to suit individual players.
B. The players are trained in a way which results in fewer injuries.
C. There are experts to answer the players’ questions.
D. There are more opportunities to watch professional players in action.

PART 3: Read the following extract from a book about English people. Five sentences have
been removed from the text. Fill in gaps 1-5 with the missing sentences from A-F. There is one
extra sentence that won’t fit any gaps.

If you look from a helicopter at any English town, you will see that the residential areas consist
almost entirely of rows of small boxes, each with its own little patch of green. 1 _________. The
principle, however, will be clear: the English all want to live in their own private houses with their
own private gardens.
What you cannot see from your helicopter, you will learn as soon as you try to visit an English
home. 2 _________. Some humorists claim this is the result of ‘a conspiracy to mislead
foreigners’, pointing out that our streets are never straight, every time a street bends, it is given a
different name, there are at least 60 confusing synonyms for ‘street’, and the numbering of the
houses is hopelessly illogical.
The house numbers are at least as well camouflaged as the street names. 3 _________. One taxi
driver explained: ‘An English man’s home is his castle, right? We can’t actually have massive
walls around it, but we can make it difficult to get to.’
The English man’s home is much more than just his castle; it is also his identity and his prime
obsession. 4 _________. The mania for home improvements is widespread. Research shows that
only 2% of English males and 12% of females have never done any Do-It-Yourself.
Working on home improvememnts is an opportunity to exercise our creative talents. 5. _________.
Although it may sometimes be an economic necesstity, we see the arrangement, furnishing and
decorating of our homes as an expression of our unique personal taste.

A. You may have its address and a map, but you will have great difficulty in finding the house
you are looking for.
B. Or at least that’s how we like to think of it.
C. This is an unwritten rule of home ownership, and the moving in ritual.
D. They are either hidden, or even not there at all.
E. In better-off areas, these boxes will be further apart, and the green patches attached to them
will be larger.
F. This is why a house is not something you just passively ‘have’, it is something you
constantly ‘work on’.
