D. READING AND WRITING

I. READING
Exercise 1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
In 1812 a young man called James Barry finished his studies in medicine at Edinburgh
University. After graduating he moved to London where he studied surgery at Guy’s Hospital.
After that the popular young doctor joined the army and over the next forty years had a
brilliant career as an army medical officer, working in many far-off countries and fighting
successfully for improved conditions in hospitals. It was a remarkable career - made even
more remarkable by the discovery upon his death that he was in fact a she, James Barry was a
woman.
No one was more surprised at this discovery than her many friends and colleagues. It was true
that throughout her life people had remarked upon her small size, slight build and smooth pale
face. One officer had even objected to her appointment as a medical assistant because he
could not believe that Barry was old enough to have graduated in medicine. But no one had
ever seriously suggested that Barry was anything other than a man.
By all accounts Barry was a pleasant and good-humoured person with high cheekbones,
reddish hair, a long nose and large eyes. She was well-liked by her patients and had a
reputation for great speed in surgery - an important quality at a time when operations were
performed without anaesthetic. She was also quick tempered. When she was working in army
hospitals and prisons overseas, the terrible conditions often made her very angry. She fought
hard against injustice and cruelty and her temper sometimes got her into trouble with the
authority. After a long career overseas, she returned to London where she died in 1865. While
the undertaker’s assistant was preparing her body for burial, she discovered that James Barry
was a woman.
So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time a woman could not study
medicine, work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry had always wante to do these
things and pretending to be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was
going to tell the truth one day, but didn’t because she was enjoying her life as a man too much.
Whatever the reason, Barry's deception was successful. By the time it was discovered that she
had been the first woman in Britain to qualify as a doctor, it was too late for the authorities to
do anything about it.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Gender discrimination among doctors in London
B. James Barry pretended to be a man to become a doctor
C. James Barry and her career overseas
D. Punishment for James Barry’s deception
2. In paragraph 1, the word “remarkable" is closest in meaning to ____.

B. people remarked upon her small size
C. many people suspected that she was a woman
D. people noticed her slight build and smooth pale face
4. In paragraph 2, the word “objected" is closest in meaning to ____.
A. shared B. agreed C. protected D. protested
5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about James Barry?
A. She could control her temper perfectly. B. She lost her temper easily.
C. She never lost her temper. D. She was calm and well-behaved.

A. She performed her operations quickly. B. She performed her operations slowly.

Exercise 2. Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or
FALSE?
Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a
peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Unfortunately, at the current time, 1 in 5 women
and girls between the ages of 15-49 have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence by
an intimate partner within a 12-month period and 49 countries currently have no laws
protecting women from domestic violence. Progress is occurring regarding harmful practices
such as child marriage and FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), which has declined by 30% in
the past decade, but there is still much work to be done to complete eliminate such practices.
Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and
representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable
economies and benefit societies and humanity at large. Implementing new legal frameworks
regarding female equality in the workplace and the eradication of harmful practices targeted at
women is crucial to ending the gender-based discrimination prevalent in many countries
around the world.
Question 1: Gender equality is a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and
sustainable world.
A. True B. False
Question 2: One in five girl or women put up with domestic violence within one-year period.
A. True B. False
Question 3: Child marriage is not a consequence of domestic violence.
A. True B. False
Question 4: It’s essential to provide women and girls with equal access to social issues.
A. True B. False
Question 5: New legal framework regarding female equality is important.
A. True B. False
Exercise 3.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 from 1 to 10.
Women in Families
Role reversal has not really become popular. Couples who swap roles are still few and
far between. Is that because women are better at rearing children? Or are men just
afraid to resist tradition?
The isolation was the worst thing, said Andrew Timpson, who left teaching to take
care of his home and children for two and a half years.
The idea of swapping roles-for the father to stay at home while mum goes out to work - is
still a relatively new one. In the 70s it sounded like a great idea. Let the newly liberated
women make progress with her career while the New Man stays at home and takes care of
the house and children.
Now, 10 years or so later, it seems as if we were a l i t t l e premature. A recent report by
the Family Policy Studies Center concludes: "Despite important social changes,
particularly greater female employment, it is still women in families who undertake the
great bulk of house-work, cooking, child-care and taking care of elderly relatives - The
much hyped New Man remains a rare species.’
Certainly some would argue that a man cannot replace a mother - that mum is the
natural homemaker, while dad is the provider. Some men might give help with shopping
and cooking, but most would do little more. Some men even believe that doing
housework is an insult to their masculinity. Others, like Andrew, want to stay at home-
8
but with reservations. Andrew, who is now about to return to work, says, "I don't know that
I could have continued doing it for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it, but I do want to support
my family and I do want to work. I thought I could handle being dependent on Maureen,
but it proved to be tough for both of us." Maureen says, "I've got a job I really love.
Continuing working has allowed me to fulfill my potential .
For many couples who swap roles, traditional attitudes are a major problem. Frank and
Joan Roberts found that they were confronted with strong views when Frank left his job to
look after Michael, five, while Joan continued with her career. Frank says, "It is not
socially acceptable where we live. People here are reared to believe that the man goes out to
work and woman stays at home."
1. According to the passage, that couples who change roles has been ...........................
A. still rare B. very popular C. popular D. not happened
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Women should not go out to work because they are better rearing children.
B. Men don't want to change roles because they are traditionally weak.
C. Andrew Timpson left teaching to take care of his home and children for two and a half
year.
D. Fathers have to stay at home to take care of their children because they are no longer the
provider.
3. The Family Policy Studies Center concluded that_______.
A..at present, women still do most of the housework
B..many women change their traditional roles, because there are many jobs created for
them
C..the men stay at home to take care of the house and children
D..a and c are correct
4. In the last paragraph, Frank and Joan Roberts were confronted with strong views
because ...............
A..Frank went out to work and Joan Roberts looked after her child
B..both of them went out to work
C..Frank was unable to look after his child
D..Frank left his job to look after his child, while his wife went on with her career.
5. The word “swap” in the passage most nearly means________
A. improve B. make better C. share D. change
6. Choose the best expression to replace the phrase “fulfill my potential” in the passage.
A. fulfill myself B. improve myself
C. improve my potential D. gain success
7. The word “major” in the passage most nearly means________
A. big B. primary C. important D. best
8. Frank said that _________
A.. his society encourages men to stay at home to look after children
B. men where he lives are brought up to do the housework
C. it is very common for women to go out to work where he lives
D. his society does not accept the fact that women go out to work while men stay at home
9. The word “resist” in the passage most nearly means_____
A. follow B. oppose C. eliminate D. realize
10. The topic of this paragraph might be ________
A.stay-at-home fathers B. stay-at-home mothers
C. taking care of children D. women's careers.

THE SUFFRAGETTES
England has had a democracy for a long time. Until 1918, however, women were not allowed
(34) ____ in it. The right to vote is called ‘suffrage’ and the English women who fought for
and won that right were called “suffragettes”.
The suffragette movement was led by Emmiline Pankhurst. In 1903, she (35) ____ an
organization called the Women’s Social and Politica Union (WSPU). Members of the WSPU
went to the Prime Minister to demand suffrage, but he told them to “be patient”. The
suffragettes were not (36) ____.They wanted change immediately.
The fight for the vote for women became intensive and sometimes violent. In 1908, two
suffragettes chained themselves to the fence outside the Prime Minister's front door! They
were arrested and spent weeks in jail. In 1912, hundreds of women (37) ____ the streets of
London. They broke shop windows and even threw Stones on the Prime Minister’s house.
Thousands of suffragettes were jailed for this and similar actions over the years.
World War I (1914-1918) proved to be an important (38) ____ for the women’s movement.
Women contributed so much to the war effort as nurses', factory workers, and at other jobs
that more people became convinced of their right to vote. Women were finally given that right
in January, 1918.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
For Catherine Lumby, deciding to take on the role of breadwinner in her relationship was not a
difficult choice. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been
offered a demanding new role as Director of the Media and Communications department at
the University of Sydney. But she didn't see this as an obstacle, and was prepared to use
childcare when the children were old enough. It came, therefore, as a surprise to Lumby and
13
her husband Derek that, after the birth of their son, they couldn’t actually bear the thought of
putting him into childcare tor nine hours a day. As she was the one with the secure job, the
role of primary care-giver fell to Derek, who was writing scripts for television. This
arrangement continued for the next four years, w ith Derek working from home and caring for
both of their sons. He returned to full-time work earlier this year.
Whilst Lumby and her husband are by no means the only Australians making such a role
reversal, research suggests that they are in the minority. In a government-funded survey in
2001, only 5.5 percent of couples in the 30-54 year age group saw the women working either
part- or full-time while the men were unemployed.
The situation is likely to change, according to the CEO of Relationships Australia, Anne
Hollonds. She suggests that this is due to several reasons, including the number of highly
educated women in the workforce and changing social patterns and expectations. However,
she warns that for couples involved in role-switching, there are many potential difficulties to
be overcome. For men whose self-esteem is connected to their jobs and the income it provides
to the family, a major change of thinking is required. It also requires women to reassess,
particularly with regard to domestic or child-rearing decisions, and they may have to learn to
deal with the guilt of not always being there at key times for their children. Being aware of
these issues can make operating in non-traditional roles a lot easier.

Exercise 1: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However,
wedding customs vary from country to country.
The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a
symbol of purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding
ceremony started around 150 years ago. Before that, most women could not afford to buy a
dress that they would only wear once. Now, bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles.
In some Asian countries and in the Middle East, colors of joy and happiness like red or orange
other than white are worn by the bride or used as part of the wedding ceremony,
The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of golf or silver
and worn on the third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony. The
circular shape of the ring is symbolic of the couple's eternal union. In Brazil, it is traditional to
have the rings engraved with the bride's name on the groom’s ring, an vice versa.
Flowers: Flowers play an important role in most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of
love, and because they usually bloom in June, this has become the most popular month for
weddings in many countries. After the wedding ceremony, in many countries the bride throws
her bouquet into a crowd of well-wishers – usually her single female friends. The person who
catches this bouquet will be the next one to marry.
Gifts: In Chinese cultures, wedding guests give gifts of money to the newly-weds in small red
envelopes. Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese wedding. In many
Western countries, for example in the U.K, wedding guests give the bride and groom
household items that they may need for their new home. In Russia, rather than receiving gifts,
the bride and groom provide gifts to their guests instead.
With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated
in one part of the world are crossing national boundaries and have been incorporated into
marriage ceremonies in other countries.

When living and working in another country, there are numerous things to consider apart from
the more obvious ones of climate, language, religion, currency, etc. Some important
considerations are less obvious. For example, do you have a pet or do you enjoy a hobby such
as horse riding? Your animal or hobby may be perceived in a completely different light in
another culture so it’s important to consider the significance given to specific animals in
different parts of the world and general perceptions towards them.
One example which is often mentioned in popular press is the case of dogs. In some
cultures, like the US or UK, dogs are loved and considered a great pet to have at home and
with the family. In other cultures, such as those where Islam is the majority religion, dogs may
be perceived as dirty or dangerous. Muslims’ treatment of dogs is still a matter of debate
amongst Islamic scholars. While these animals are widely considered by many Western
cultures to be ‘man’s best friend, the Koran describes them as unhygienic. Muslims will
therefore avoid touching a dog unless he can wash his hands immediately afterwards, and they
will almost never keep a dog in their home.
In Iran, for instance, a cleric once denounced ‘the moral depravity’ of dog owners and
even demanded their arrest. If you are an international assignee living and working in Saudi
Arabia or another Arabic country, you should remember this when inviting Arab counterparts
to your house in case you have a dog as a pet. This is just one example of how Islam and other
cultural beliefs can impact on aspects of everyday life that someone else may not even
question. A Middle Eastern man might be very surprised when going to Japan, for instance,
and seeing dogs being dressed and pampered like humans and carried around in baby prams!
Dogs are not the only animals which are perceived quite differently from one culture to
another. In India, for example, cows are sacred and are treated with the utmost respect.
Conversely in Argentina, beef is a symbol of national pride because of its tradition and the
high quality of its cuts. An Indian working in Argentina who has not done his research or
participated in a cross cultural training programme such as Doing Business in Argentina may
be surprised at his first welcome dinner with his Argentinean counterparts where a main dish
of beef would be served.
It is therefore crucial to be aware of the specific values assigned to objects or animals
in different cultures to avoid faux-pas or cultural misunderstandings, particularly when living
and working in another culture. Learning how people value animals and other symbols around
the world is one of the numerous cultural examples discussed in Communicaid’s intercultural
training courses. Understanding how your international colleagues may perceive certain
animals can help you ensure you aren’t insensitive and it may even provide you with a good
topic for conversation.

INTERNATIONAL GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS
Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture.
Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and
ideals. Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives,
children and parents. Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is
important. Culture affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and
number of children a couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital
childbearing, and the way parents raise children. Understanding how relationships and
marriages vary across cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify
the unique ways that marriages and family life affect people of various cultures. As a result,
we will be able to help families and sustain happy marriages. A cross cultural marriage or
similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural background, visits to the
other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the different habits and
ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are all very exciting
indeed. What of the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship with
someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your
husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural
communication and respect for differences. Misunderstanding seems to be unavoidable.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the question
One custom that gives insight into people’s history and values is the way they greet one
another. There is a wide range of greetings around the world. These range from the common
handshake to other strange rituals found in some countries. Let’s take a look at how the simple
action of greeting someone differs greatly from place to place.
In the United States and Canada, for example, a simple handshake or nod is the norm.
The handshake has an interesting origin: it started long ago as a way of showing people that
you weren’t carrying a weapon. Shaking the person’s right hand while looking him or her in
the eye is the usual method. Handshakes are also common in other parts of the world,
35
including Britain and Russia. In Russia, males grasp other men’s hands very strongly during
the handshake. Handshakes are also how most people in New Zealand greet each other.
However, the native Maori people of that country display more physical contact: they press
their noses together in a sign of trust and closeness.
In other countries, such as France and Belgium, hugging and kissing are more common
when two people meet. In those cultures, people kiss each other on the cheeks. The number of
times varies depending on the particular country. In Saudi Arabia, men might hug and kiss
each other (but not a woman) on the cheek. Men will also shake hands with other men there.
In some Eastern countries, including Korea and Japan, bowing is the traditional greeting. In
Japan, the deeper the bow, the deeper the respect shown. The strangest custom, though, is
likely in Tibet. People there opt to stick out their tongue to greet others.
42. What is this reading mainly about?
A. The importance of handshakes all around the world
B. The origins and histories of various greetings
C. The strangest types of greetings on Earth.
D. The wide range of greeting customs in the world
43. Which of the following sentence is TRUE?
A. People in Russia, but not England, shake hands
B. The number of times people kiss on the cheek varies
C. In the past, people nodded If they weren’t carrying a weapon
D. You shouldn’t look at people when shaking their hands in the United States
44. How do most people in New Zealand greet each other ? - ................................................
A. With a handshake B. By pressing noses together
C. With a kiss on the cheek D. By sticking cut their tongue
45. Which type of country is NOT mentioned in the reading?
A. A North American country B. A European country
C. A South American country D. An Asean country
46. What can be inferred about getting customs in Saudi Arabia?
A. Men shake hands with women when meeting them for the first time
B. It’s not proper for men to kiss women when they meet
C. Women do not kiss other women when they meet
D. Women can kiss men, but men can’t kiss women when they meet.

C. READING & WRITING

I. READING
Exercise1: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?
If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a
new word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual
learner. You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners
often think in pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that will
suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize
something by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a
more auditory learner. You prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often
learn best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.
However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles.
Sometimes you may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which
is the best style for the particular task you are doing.
1. Which of the following is probably NOT preferred by a visual learner?

A. reading aloud B. sources with illustrations C. sources with videos D. making notes
2. What does the word "it" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. the lecture B. the new word C. the note D. the written word
3. The word “visual” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A. picturesque B. written C. illustrative D. seeable
4. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Auditory learners hate taking notes.
48
B. Auditory learners prefer listening to speaking.

C. Most people are auditory learners.
D. When learning something by heart, an auditory learner prefers reading it out loud.
5. The word "auditory” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by________.
A. discussive B. noisy C. audible D. recordable
Exercise 2: Read the passage below and decide whether the statements are TRUE or
FALSE?
Traditional Education And Advantages Of Online Learning
There are several problems with the traditional system of education. First of all, you need to
pay thousands of dollars per term to attend a prestigious school. With all those budget cuts,
busy classrooms, and course shortages, you won’t always get the chance to study exactly what
you want.
It’s no wonder why millions of students from all around the world opt for online degree
programs or take at least one college course through an online platform. Online learning has to
be the greatest revolution in contemporary education. It made a huge change in the system and
opened great opportunities for everyone who wants to learn something.
Nevertheless, online education is still related to stereotypes. People often think that online
students are not smart enough for a traditional college or university, they are lazy, and they
don’t get “real” degrees. These claims discourage many people from taking online courses, so
they get stuck in the traditional educational system that consumes a huge deal of money,
nerves, and years of their lives.
Allow us to explain why online learning is more awesome than you think. We have 5
advantages of online learning that will make you reconsider your attitude towards this type of
education.
1. You can learn whatever you want!
You can pick the program of your dreams in traditional education, too, but that would involve
traveling away from home, living in a completely unknown city, and struggling in an
extremely competitive learning environment. With online education, you can take any
program or course present in traditional four-year universities.
2. Comfort.
Forget about attending classes for hours, sitting in an uncomfortable chair, and suffering from
back pain by the end of the day. You will not be bound to physical class session when you opt
for online education. All lectures and needed materials are provided via online platforms, so
you’ll easily access them from the comfort of your home. You will not take public transport to
get to campus, you won’t have to spend money on gas for your car, you won’t have to get up
early to get dressed for class… the list of conveniences goes on and on.
3. Online courses look great on a resume.
It doesn’t matter where your career stands at this moment; an online program will always look
good on your resume. It will show potential employers that you’re committed to learning and
you’re eager to obtain more knowledge and new skills. Hiring managers don’t see online
degrees as inferior to traditional ones. A degree is a degree. If you obtain an online degree
from a prestigious university, you’ll boost your career with the speed of light. You will
certainly become a better candidate for a job promotion, and your resume will look much
better when you apply for new positions.
Question 1: Traditional system of education is costly and time-consuming.
A. True B. False
Question 2: Online learning has to be the greatest revolution in contemporary education.
A. True B. False
Question 3: Online students are not smart enough for a traditional college or university.
A. True B. False
Question 4: Studying online is more comfortable than traditional one.
A. True B. False

Question 5: Employers underestimate online degrees.

A. True B. False

BECOMING AN EFFECTIVE STUDENT
Learning how to study effectively is an essential skill for students in any discipline.
There are six areas which are crucial to developing good study habits. Work on these and you
will become an effective student.
Targets: Always set a realistic work target. Don't try to do too much. For example, plan to
read one chapter of a book each evening rather than think about reading the whole book over
the weekend. This kind of detailed, planned target is more effective than a vague commitment.
It is sometimes helpful to tell your friends about your plan. This is a good incentive to keep
you on target because they will know if you fail!
Rewards: Develop a system of small rewards for your work. For example, stop for a cup of
coffee or tea, or listen to a favorite piece of music after one hour's study, Rewarding yourself
for keeping to your work plan will make you feel good about yourself.
Timing: Make sure you choose a suitable time to study, i.e. when it is quiet and when you are
most'alert. Try to make this a regular, time-tabled part of your day. If you plan to start work at
a certain time, say 7 pm, do not find reasons to put off getting started. You can watch a DVD
later, and your emails are not urgent!
Quantity: A large task such as researching a new topic for an essay can be daunting - so
daunting, in fact, that it can be difficult to sit down and make a start. Break the larger task
down into several smaller ones. For example, make a list of questions that you will have to
deal with in your essay, and then approach each question separately. This makes the work
more manageable.
Notes and Learning styles:The books you are studying won't always present information in a
way that suits your learning style. It is, therefore, worthwhile spending time making notes and
organizing them in a way that suits you best. It is also a good idea to keep your notebooks neat
and well-organized. This will make it much easier to retrieve information later.
Revision: Don't leave revision until the last moment. When you set your study targets, allow
regular revision time. This is much more effective than trying to cram before an exam.
Question 38. How does the writer think you can develop good study habits?
A. By setting a realistic work target B. By planning and considering your learning style
C. By revising your work on a regular basis D. By taking into account six important areas
Question 39. Why is it a good idea to tell other people about your work plan?
A. They can help you develop a detailed target.
B. They will be very helpful with your plan.
C. They will know if you do not stick to your plan, which motivates you to reach the target.
D. They will know how to help you avoid failing.

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.
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with
care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a
living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the
difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to
unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of
your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to
consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to
begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes,
hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as
“Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to
solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is
important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer,
and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all
day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent –
that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a
concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job
can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as
68
hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country. If a high
salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as
insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases
along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive
or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that
of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and
may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling
hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors.
Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and
skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be
your final one.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today. Maybe,
country music is very popular because it is about simple but strong human feelings and

events like love, sadness, good times and bad times. It tells real life stories and sounds the
way people really talk. As life becomes more complicated and difficult, it is good to hear
about simple ordinary people.
Country music is sometimes called country-western music. It comes from two kinds of
music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern
United States. The other is traditional, cowboy music from the American West. The singers

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Conservation conflicts arise when natural-resource shortages develop in the face of steadily
increasing demands from a growing human population. Controversy frequently surrounds
how a resource should be used, or allocated, and for whom. For example, a river may supply
water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water-generated electricity for a factory.
Farmers, fishers, and industry leader vie for unrestricted access to this river, but such freedom
could destroy the resource, and conservation methods are necessary to protect the river for
future use.
Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries. For example, the
headwaters, or source, of a major river may be located in a different country than the country
through which the river flows. There is no guarantee that the river source will be protected to
accommodate resource needs downstream. In addition, the way in which one natural resource
is managed has a direct effect upon other natural resources. Cutting down a forest near a
river, for instance, increases erosion, the wearing away of topsoil, and can lead to flooding.
Eroded soil and silt cloud the river and adversely affect many organisms such as fish and
important aquatic plants that require clean, clear freshwater for survival.
Question 36. What does “supply” in line 3 mean?
A.cover B. provide C. make up for D. compensate for
Question 37. Which word in the reading means “living or growing in, or relating to water”?

A. when natural-resource shortages increase in the features of gradually increasing demands
from a rising human population.
B. when a natural resource crosses political borders
C. when freedom could destroy the resource.
D. when eroded soil and silt cloud affect many organisms.
Question 39. Which sentence below is NOT correct?
A. Argument often surrounds how a resource should be used, or allocated, and for whom.
B. A river may provide water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water-generated
electricity for a factory
C. Conservation methods are incidental to care for the river for future use.

Read the passage then choose the best answer
Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times.
Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently
to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates
jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy
song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is
creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not
want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes
that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our
body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China,
India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pythagoras, in ancient
Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these
ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and
beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better
understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.
Question 44. The text is about_____.
A. The science of music B. Understanding music
C. The effects of music on human feelings D. Music and an angry person

A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way

As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production of
pictures, computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in
computer science. It is used routinely in such diverse areas as business, industry, art,
government, education, research, training, and medicine.
One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as
an aid to design, generally to referred to as computer-aided design (CAD). One of its greatest
advantages is that designers can see how an object will look after construction and make
changes freely and much more quickly than with hand drafting. For three-dimensional
rendering of machine parts, engineers now rely heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft,
aerospace, and ship designers use CAD techniques to design vehicles and test their
performance. Building designs are also created with computer graphics system. Architects can
design a building layout, create a three-dimensional model, and even go for a simulated ‘walk’
through the rooms or around the outside of the building.
Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used
to create graphs, charts, and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical,
scientific, and economic data. As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create
weather maps and cartographic materials. Computer art also has creative and commercial art
applications, where it is used in advertising, publishing, and film productions, particularly for
computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential process.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Routine uses of computers B. Computer graphic applications
C. The rapidly growing field of computer science D. Computers as the architects of the future
2. The word “it” in line 2 refers to...........................
A. computer graphics B. computer science C. field D. computer

4. According to the passage, engineers use CAD for ..........................
A. A simulated “walk” through modal rooms B. Rendering machine parts
C. Making cost models D. Advertising products
5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a use of computer graphic in business?

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.
In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the
growth of the human population. In the last 100 years, the world population has more than
tripled. Obviously, this has meant that the world has needed to produce three times as much
food, energy, and other natural resources.
In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the average
person one hundred years ago, meaning that the rates of consumption are actually much
higher than just the increase in population would imply.
136
All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources,
contribute to climate change in some way. The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned
to create energy release chemicals which add to global warming. In order to produce more
food, farmers cut down trees to gain more land for their fields. In addition, we cut down trees
to build the houses needed for a larger population. Those trees are an essential part of
controlling global warming.
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher
standard of living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even
more natural resources. For example, China is the world’s most populous nation, with 1.3
billion people. Currently, the standard of living for most of those people is far below that of
people in first world nations. Therefore, the average Chinese citizen uses far fewer natural
resources and less energy than the average citizen of the US or Japan. If every Chinese person
attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources needed in the world
will double, even if the standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains the same as it
is today.
31. The word “pace” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.
A. growth B. speed C. problem D. pollution
32. The word “consumption” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.
A. development B. usage C. population D. increase
33. According to the passage, how does food production contribute to global warming?
A. Food production requires that the forests be cleared to create farmland.
B. Food production uses many chemicals which add to global warming.
C. Producing more food leads to growth in the world population.
D. Food production decreases the ability of the air to release heat.
34. According to the passage, how does the standard of living affect global warming?
A. Higher standards of living are better for the environment.
B. First world nations create less population than developing nations.
C. The use of natural resources is directly related to the standard of living.
D. High standards of living lead to increases in world population.
35. Why does the author discuss China, Japan and the United States?
A. To compare the standards of their citizens.
B. To explain why China will not be able to become a first world nation.
C. To explain why the world’s use of energy will need to double soon.
D. To better illustrate the effects of an increase in standards of living.

Nature gave us all necessary resources to live and prosper. Now it is in danger and needs our
help. What else we can do to protect environment? First of all this decisions must be made on
governmental level and provide legal limitations for industries that emit a lot of greenhouse
gases. We must unite together in order to protect the place we live in. People are an integral
part of nature, we are dependent of it as we cannot imagine our life without nature. So why to
destroy environment and bite the hand that feeds you? We must stop deforestation and plant
trees on cut down areas. Trees are natural filter of air that absorb carbon dioxide and produce
oxygen. Cutting down trees we deprive animals of their natural environment and the soil
begin to grow in erosion. Planting trees will save birds and other animals.
We often make forced choices that are advertised on TV. Manufacturers try to rise their
profits and sell more products. Sometimes we have so many unnecessary things we do not
use. Imagine that you are moving your house, what are the necessary items you may need to
live, only several bags. In reality the matter is opposite. There are a lot of things we do not
use. People have to reconsider their views of life and promote healthy and ecologically
friendly lifestyle. It is up to us to change situation for better and leave good legacy for
generations to come.

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Conservation conflicts arise when natural-resource shortages develop in the face of
steadily increasing demands from a growing human population. Controversy frequently
surrounds how a resource should be used, or allocated, and for whom. For example, a river
may supply water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water-generated electricity
for a factory. Farmers, fishers, and industry leader vie for unrestricted access to this river, but
such freedom could destroy the resource, and conservation methods are necessary to protect
the river for future use.
Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries. For example, the
headwaters, or source, of a major river may be located in a different country than the country
through which the river flows. There is no guarantee that the river source will be protected to

Most of us are interested in one kind of sport or another, even if we don't go in for it actively.
Lots of people take up a particular sport at an early age, for example tennis, skiing, or ice-
skating. If they get up to a suitably high standard, they may go in for local competitions or

up. Many of them opt out when they come up against tough competition.

regularly every day.

Read the following passage carefully, and then choose the best answer.
Galileo Galilei, one of the first modern scientists, was born in Pisa, Italy, in 1564. About
twenty years later he attended the University of Pisa. At first he studied philosophy, but later
he studied mathematics and astronomy. He was interested in the way the earth and other
planets move around the sun. He made the telescope, which made far-away things look larger
and easier to examine. He also started the new way of working in science. Before Galileo;
scientists did not do experiments. They just guessed about how something happened. Galileo
was different. He did not just make guesses. He did experiments and watched to see what
happened.
Galileo was famous for his study of how things fall. He was the first person to do experiments
about this problem. Before, people thought that heavy things always fell faster than light
things. He found out that this was not true. He took a heavy ball and a light ball and he
dropped them both from a high place. They fell at the same speed. This meant that weight is
not important. This is the law of falling bodies. It is an important law for understanding our
world.
The life of the scientist was not always easy in the 1500s. For example, Galileo got into
trouble because of his scientific ideas. His ideas were not the same as the religious ideas at the
time. Many religious people did not agree with him. During his whole life he had to worry
about this. He even went to prison for a while. But no one could stop him from thinking. He
continued to look for scientific answers to his questions about the world.

If you want to turn your hobbies into jobs, consider the following experts' suggestions. If you
are a helpful person, you can teach others to do what you love. "Teach piano lessons, offer
cooking classes, or teach another language if those are your passions. You can do this by
teaching through a college or continuing education program, by creating your own classes, or
by creating your own webinars or tele-seminar series online", Collamer says.
166
If you are not interested in teaching, appraise, repair or fix items related to what you love.
Most hobbies have "stuff" connected to them, and sometimes, that stuff needs to be fixed by a
skilled and knowledgeable person. "You could fix computers, appraise collectibles, repair
bicycles, source missing parts for highly unusual items, and so on," Collamer says.
"The next time you find yourself confused as to how to generate income from your hobbies,
search out the most successful entrepreneurs in your area of interest and study their business
models and revenue streams," Collamer suggests. "Ask yourself: Is their income coming
from consulting services, videos, accessories, events, classes or product sales? What is their
mix of products and services? What is their pricing strategy?" In doing this, you will discover
proven models for monetizing your hobbies, as well as helpful information about how to
price your own services and products.
Mufson, who has interests outside of career coaching, says she managed to turn a hobby into
a lucrative part- time gig. "I personally turned my hobby of creating gemstone jewellery into

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way to make an
important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves
the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare the
actual decisions made by people to theretical ideal decisions to see how similar they
are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal , that is, the best
decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets cam take,
they are all similar in their essential aspects.
Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all
possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that all possible
solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each
169
decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is
determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative
importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The
alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.
Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose
from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and
paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than
their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep
about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the
decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example
for many college students is the question "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might
seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad
for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also
help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and
immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range
ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to
"What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"

In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.
Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is

started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success
with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became
really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve
great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for
groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their
first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances
in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them - their fans were so excited that they

When we go and watch a movie in the cinema, we see real people moving and talking on a
big screen in front of us. But how are movies filmed and shown to us? In actual fact, movies
do not really `move' like we think they do. It is our eyes that play tricks on us and make the
movies look as if they are moving. A movie is filmed using a camera which takes pictures at
a very fast speed. The camera can take 24 pictures in one second! If it is taking pictures of
somebody walking, the pictures will show the different movements of the person in that one
second. Since the pictures are taken so quickly, the difference between each picture is very
slight. The pictures are developed into long strips of film which are then shown, using a film
projector. As we watch, 24 pictures flash before our eyes every second. The pictures go by so
fast that we cannot see each one by itself. What we see is just one picture that seems to move.
Our eyes play a part by blending the pictures with each other. The same method applies to
cartoons. In a cartoon, instead of taking pictures of real people, the camera takes pictures of
drawings. Many drawings have to be made just to show a simple action. Each drawing is
again made only slightly different from the others. The drawings are then photographed
orderly. When everything is complete and the cartoon is shown, it also looks as though the
characters are really moving.
