Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer.
The relationship between Britain and the US has always been a close one. Like all close relationships it has
had difficult times. The US was first a British colony, but between 1775 and 1783 the US fought a war to become
independent. The US fought the British again in the War of 1812.
In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than to any other country, and their
foreign policies have shown this. During World War I and World War II, Britain and the US supported each other.
When the US looks for foreign support, Britain is usually the first country to come forward and it is sometimes called
“the 51st state of the union”.
But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared political interests. An
important reason for the friendship is that the people of the two countries are very similar. They share the same
language and enjoy each other’s literature, films and television. Many Americans have British ancestors, or relatives
still living in Britain. The US government and political system is based on Britain’s, and there are many Anglo-
American businesses operating on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain some people are worried about the extent of
US influence, and there is some jealousy of its current power. The special relationship was strong in the early 1980s
when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister in Britain and Ronald Reagan was President of the US.
38: [NĐH] What is the passage mainly about?
A. The strong friendship between the UK and the US.
B. The close relationship between Britain and the US.
C. A special relationship the UK developed during the World Wars.

A. be willing to help B. be able to help C. be reluctant to help D. be eager to help

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer.
Hamams, or bath houses, are a traditional part of Turkish culture. They represent an important piece of
Turkey’s long history and serve as a window into the past. However, these bath houses are quickly disappearing
because of the changing habits of the Turkish people.

Hamams hold a strong place in the history of Turkey and many date back hundreds of years. Traditionally, all
kinds of people went to hamams because Islam has strict laws for cleanness. Believers must wash themselves
regularly, particularly before their daily prayers. As most people in Turkey didn’t have access to running water in their
homes, the hamam was the perfect to get clean, relax, and catch up with friends.
Today, however, the tradition of going to the hamam is quickly dying out for many young people. Now
almost everyone has running water in their bathrooms, so they prefer to bathe at home. As a result, Turkish people are
not going to hamams as often as they used to. These days, instead of relying on locals, many hamams are trying to
attract foreign tourists.
Some of the best hamams in Turkey are located in Istanbul, the country’s largest city. The Cagaloglu hamam
is a great example. It was a gift to the people from the Sultan in 1741 and is one of the last old hamams to be built
during the Ottoman Empire. Many visitors are impressed by the high domed ceilings, marble floors, and marble walls
used throughout.
A typical session at a hamam can last well over an hour. Visitors will be welcomed into camekan, or entrance
hall. There they will be able to relax with friends and chat over a cup of tea. They will also be able to change into the
customary pestemal, or Turkish towel, which wraps around the waist like a skirt. When ready, visitors will head into
hararet, or hot room. There they will lie on the hot floor and be scrubbed clean and massaged by one of the in-house
masseurs or masseuses. Men and women always bathe separately, but their experiences are very similar.
Although many hamams are in danger of closing, they will always remain a part of Turkish culture. An
experience in one of Istanbul’s famous bath houses is not to be missed on any visit to Turkey. It will certainly leave
you refreshed, relaxed, and squeaky clean for your next adventure.
