Many years ago, people often said “A woman’s place is in the home”. But Americans do not feel that way
anymore. Today, women make up about 43 percent of the America labor force. There are about 45 million working
women in the United States, and a large number of them are married women with children. In 1980, for the first time
in the nation’s history there were more working wives than household wives. Looking back to 1940, we can see
picture of some very rapid change. In 1940, only 15 percent of married women held jobs.
Today, most young women choose to work even when they have young children. Why do they work? The
most important reason is that they need to earn money. But another reason is that women today are better educated
and they have more opportunities to work in various professions than women had earlier.
41: [NĐH] According to the passage, what is the percentage of men in the labor force today?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer.
Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives people
much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their exams. The
students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the word, spend the morning studying. In the
afternoon, they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning
difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers. 
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social
backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A quarter of
students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help. 
“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people”, as
Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. “You learn to live with people and respect them, even the
ones you don’t like. During the summer holidays, my mother could not believe how much less I argued with my
sister.” 
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to
work.
46: [NĐH] What does the word “argued” in the third paragraph mean?
A. quarreled B. respected C. admired D. regarded
47: [NĐH] How has Barbara changed since being at Atlantic College?
A. She knows a lot about other countries.
B. She is more confident than her sister now.

48: [NĐH] What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. Give an opinion about a particular student.
B. Give an opinion about a special type of education.
C. Describe the activities the students do in their free time.
D. Describe his own experience of education.
49: [NĐH] What can a reader find out from this text?
A. How to become a student at Atlantic College.
B. What kind of programme Atlantic College offers.
C. What the British education system is like.
D. How to get along better with other people.
50: [NĐH] What is the writer’s opinion of Atlantic College?
