Read the passage below carefully, and then decide whether the statements are true (T), false (F) or not given (N)
Education of students who are hard of hearing or deaf may involve the use of powerful amplification devices, such as hearing aids, or
it may use captions (printed words that appear on a television screen or computer monitor). Many deaf or hard of hearing students
learn sign language, an organized system of gestures for communication. Others learn to speechread (lipread), a method of
interpreting speech by “reading” the patterns of a person’s mouth as he or she speaks. Some deaf students receive cochlear implants,
which are receivers surgically implanted behind the ear and connected to electrodes placed in the cochlea of the inner ear, enabling
individuals to hear sounds to a varying degree.
Gifted children are often moved through the regular school curriculum at a faster pace than their peers. Some children with
exceptionally high ability in a particular subject area may be allowed to reduce the time they spend in their other subjects to permit
more time to focus on challenging content in their specialty. A high school student who is particularly gifted in math, for example,
may attend advanced math classes at a local college rather than music classes at the high school. Some gifted students may also skip
grades or they may enter kindergarten, high school, or college at an early age.

The meanings of the terms science and technology have changed significantly from one generation to another. More similarities than
differences, however, can be found between the terms.
Both science and technology imply a thinking process, both are concerned with causal relationships in the material world, and both
employ an experimental methodology that results in empirical demonstrations that can be verified by repetition. Science, at least in
theory, is less concerned with the practicality of its results and more concerned with the development of general laws, but in practice
science and technology are inextricably involved with each other. The varying interplay of the two can be observed in the historical
development of such practitioners as chemists, engineers, physicists, astronomers, carpenters, potters, and many other specialists.

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.
The custom of paying a bride price before marriage is still a well-established part of many African cultures. In paying a bride price,
the family of the groom must provide payment to the family of the bride before the marriage is allowed. The bride price can vary
greatly from culture to culture in Africa. In the Zulu and Swazi tribes of southern Africa, the bride price often takes the form of cattle.
In Western African, kola nuts, shells, and other goods are often used for the payment of the bride price. The actual payment of
money sometimes takes place, but the payment of goods is more frequent. The amount of paid in a bride price can also vary. In
modern times, the bride price is occasionally quite small and its value is mainly symbolic. However, the bride price can still be quite
high, especially among prominent or highly traditional families.
There are a number of justifications used to explain the payment of bride price. The first is that the bride price represents an
acknowledgement of the expense the bride’s family has gone in order to raise her and bring her up as a suitable bride for the groom.
It also represents payment for the loss of a family member, since the bride will officially become a member of her husband’s family
and will leave her own. On a deeper level the bride price represents payment for the fact that the bride will bring children into the
10
Khổ Luyện Thành Tài Miệt Mài Thành Giỏi
NguyỄN CôNg ThàNh 090 2787 090
family of the groom, thereby increasing the wealth of the family. This concept is reinforced by the fact that the bride price must often
be returned if the bride fails to bear children.
The payment of the bride price has quite a number of effects on African society. First, the payment of bride price acts to increase the
stability of African family structures. Sons are dependent on their fathers and older relatives to help them pay the bride price of their
wives, and this generally leads to greater levels of obedience and respect. The negotiations between the two families concerning the
bride price allow the parents and other family members to meet and get to know one another before the marriage. Finally, since the
bride price must often be repaid in case of divorce, the bride’s family often works to make sure that any marital problems are solved
quickly. Bride prices also work as a system of wealth distribution in African cultures. Wealthier families can afford to support the
marriage of their son, and thus their wealth is transferred to other families.
Question 1. According to paragraph 1, all of the following are true of the bride price EXCEPT
A. its amount and form can vary B. its practice is occasionally only symbolic
A. To stress that the use of goods in the payment of bride price is most common
B. To illustrate how the practice of bride price has changed over time.
D. To demonstrate the differences in how rich and poor families pay the bride price.
Question 4. The phrase “The first” in the passage refers to the first _________.
Question 5. It can be inferred from the paragraph 2 that African families ________.
A. never see their daughters after marriage B. never see their daughters after marriage
C. pay the bride price on the day of the wedding D. place great importance on childbirth
Question 6. The author uses the word “marital” to indicate that the problems are related to ________.
A. Sometimes the bride’s family has to return the bride price to the groom’s for equal distributionof wealth.
B. The initial negotiations over the birde price provide opportunities for 2 families to meet each other.
C. Animals are nt an acceptable form of payment when it comes to paying the bride prices.
D. Without having to pay the bride price, African men would not respect their family members.
A. Young men lack the financial to marry. B. The legal age for marriage is lower for women than for men.
C. Families are eager to gain the bride price from their daughter’s marriage. D. Women live longer than men on average.
