2. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer by marking the letter A, B, C, or D
on your answer sheet.
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!
 
46. The expression government-operated could best be replaced by _____.
A. independent                    b. state                               c. vocational                        d. boarding

A. are made to take primary and secondary education in the country

Câu 2: Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. (1.25p).
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.

Read the folio wing passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
We can communicate not only true words but also through body language. Body language concludes
our posture, facial expressions and gestures. Because body language is so important you will want to
know what yours is saying and how to interpret other people's, too. Here are some examples of body
language and its meaning. If you posture is slumped and your head is down, this could mean that you
are sad or you lack confidence. If your posture is straight but relaxed, you are expressing confidence
and friendliness. A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest. But people sometimes smile just to be
polite. To get another clue from people's faces, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are
expressed when a person's eyes meet yours and then look away and meet yours again. A person who
doesn't look away is expressing a challenge. A person who doesn't look at you is expressing lack of
interest or shyness. Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the conversation. But repeated
 movements- like tapping a pencil or tapping a foot- often mean the person is either impatient or
nervous. Stay away from someone who points at you while talking with you: that person might be
angry at you or feel superior to you.

            A. posture                      B. words                            C. gestures                       D. facial
expressions

            A. smile                                                                      B. look away
            C. stand straight but relaxingly                              D. Tap your foot repeatedly
38.    If someone wants to express their friendliness to you, they usually ________.
            A. look at your face all time                                   B. look at your eyes now and again
            C. look away from your eyes                                  D. look at your face now and again
39.    A person who expresses their interest in conversations usually uses their ________.
            A. posture                      B. hand gestures               C. smiles                          D. facial
expressions
40.    A person making repeated movements like tapping a pencil often means to be ________.
