When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary
event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them.
However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted
directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes
show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably,
horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit
themselves to the easily accessible walls but earned their painting materials to spaces that required climbing
steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been
exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away.
Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of
the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to
tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having
clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made
many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison.
Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants,
including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the
massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made,
the government does not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all
marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago, people thought that the supply of clean water in the world
was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now
scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

questions.
Travel is something which people do every day. It may be a trip to school, university or to work. Travelling
can often take a long time, especially when great distances need to be covered. People often enjoy travelling
abroad for holidays. But for some people travelling is not fun at all. Some people suffer from travel sickness.
This means that they will become very unwell each time they travel.
Travelling can be either affordable or costly. It often depends on how far you want to travel and the
choice of transport.
 Using a bicycle will not cost anything as you power it by using your legs. However, the use of a bicycle can
be hard work and can take a lot of time to travel long distances.
 Cars and motorcycles are faster modes of transport, but are more expensive to use as gasoline is needed
for them to work. It can usually be assumed that the longer you wish to travel, the more expensive and time
consuming it will be.
 The use of a plane is necessary for people wanting to travel very long distances. A pilot will fly a plane from
an airport for many thousands of miles to take people to places far away. Although traffic is rarely a problem
for airplanes, it can take a lot of preparation to travel by plane.
 A train is another mode of transport which is ideal for travelling long distances within the same country, or
between countries which are connected by land. A train driver will stop at train stations on route to allow
passengers wishing to proceed to the scheduled destination to board the train.
 A number of destinations can be travelled to by using the sea. People often depart from a harbour in a ferry
which is driven by a captain. If the journey is a long distance, people may choose to sleep on the ferry while
28 | Page
they wait to arrive at their destination. Some people choose to go on a cruise for their holiday, which would
involve stopping at many different city ports for a short amount of time.
 People who need to travel short distances may choose not to use any transport at all. People often rely on
their legs to take them to places nearby.

Ten-day Chinese Traffic Jam (24th August, 2010)
Motorists in China are experiencing a traffic jam from hell. Thousands of drivers have been stuck in their
cars for ten days on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway just outside the Chinese capital. The gridlock started on
August 14th when roadworks began. The bad news is that the chaos will continue for another month. The
tailbacks stretch back for 100km. The situation has been made worse by dozens of cars breaking down or
overheating. Around 400 traffic police have been assigned to patrol the jam to make sure tensions don’t rise
too far. The horrendous snarl-up is the result of the explosion in the number of cars on Chinese roads. As
China becomes wealthier, more people are buying cars, thus causing more traffic problems.
Drivers trapped in the traffic jam know they have to be patient and sit for long hours in their cars. There
are no showers for them to use and if they need to use a toilet, they have to lock their car and wander off to
the nearest café. There are many complaints of local people taking advantage of the stranded motorists by
charging them more than double prices for drinks and snacks. People are keeping themselves busy by playing
cards or board games. Some have reported feeling homesick. One truck driver, Juang Shao expressed his
frustration over the situation: “I’ve missed my daughter’s birthday and the food in my truck has probably
turned into soup,” he said. He said he was worried his truck could be stuck in the traffic forever.
30. When did the traffic jam in China begin?
A. ten days ago B. for ten days
C. on August 24th, 2010 D. on August 14th, 2010
31. What caused traffic congestion on those days?

C. the gridlock D. the tailbacks
32. How many traffic police patrol the gridlock?

C. play cards or board games D. be patient

Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world’s energy
resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them
economically and try to find alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham of the New
England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear
power is the only alternative.
However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power because it’s very dangerous. What
would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and may badly affect the

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise.
It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and a
stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because
you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of exercise for
people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s important to start
slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to
working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor
and ask for his/her advice.

doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your
breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is

questions.
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from parts of
plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the
Earth’s supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from
plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last for a long
time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed. They can remain in
rubbish dumps for hundreds of years.
Recycling is a good way to solve the problems of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be
used again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in
different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and
bottles. Others can be made into fibres for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic ones. A lot
of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than thrown away once
they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.

In the USA, there are two days for children to express their love and gratitude to their parents: Mother
Day and Father’s Day.
Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On this day, mothers usually receive greeting
cards and gifts from their husbands and children. The best gift of all American moms is a day of leisure. The
majority of American mothers have outside jobs as well as housework, so their working days are often very
hard. Flowers are an important part of the day. Mothers are often given a plant for the occasion, particularly if
they are elderly.
Father’s Day is celebrated throughout the USA on the third Sunday in June. The holiday customs are
similar to Mother’s Day. Dad also receives the same gifts as what moms get on their day.

The South American Amazon Rainforest is often called the botanical lungs of the planet. Covering more
than five-and-a-half million square kilometers, it additionally provides a natural habitat for over half of the
Earth’s most significant species of plants and animals in an area that is a little larger than half of the world’s
remaining rainforest.
Unfortunately, over the last four decades, this huge lush expanse has been ever more endangered by
deforestation. During the 1960s and up to the 1990s, thousands of trees were felled, but what farmers did not
realise is that the topsoil, when denuded of trees, is only considered cultivable for a short period of time.
This means the farmers have to clear more and more land to continue running a profitable and
productive business. Despite the reduction in the number of trees being felled, the forest is still slowly
disappearing, diminishing the biodiversity of the area and having a terrible global impact because fewer trees
means it has less capacity to clean the air we breathe.
36. The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to ______________.
A. the lung B. the habitat C. the planet D. the Amazon Rainforest

Over the past 600 years English has evolved from a language of few speakers to the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged
around 1350, after having combined many elements of French that were introduced following
the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was for the most part, spoken only in
67 | Page
England and had not expanded even as far as Wales. Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the
course of the next two centuries. English began missionary work. Thus, small enclaves or
English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these
communities expanded, English gradually became the primary language of international
business, banking, and diplomacy.

Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different
generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I join to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts
72 | Page
videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for
letters and photos in the post.”
Ironically, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children
under 17 in the UK are leaving it - only 2.2 million users are under 17 - but they’re not going
far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock
so I have to,” she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their
phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila,
on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty
years. “We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my
social life completely.
Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop
constantly and was always connected and I felt like I was always working,” he says. “HOW
could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?” So, in
the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an
old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. “I’m not completely
cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I’m setting a good
example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.”
36. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Digital Devices in Education B. Digital Habits of Parents

household rubbish. Then the rubbish is stored and the metal cans are taken separately to a

questions.
If you have decided to be a doctor or an engineer, it’s easy to get information about how to become one.
It’s more difficult if you want to be an actor. Nobody can say, “First you do this, then you do that, and one day
you’re an actor”. But I can tell you some things that will help.
Learning to be an actor usually starts at school. Drama lessons and clubs can teach students many things,
including different ways of acting and how to write their own plays. Writing helps you understand a lot about
acting. But even more important is learning to work in a group with other actors.
However, school lessons and clubs are only one part of learning about being an actor. Find small theatre
groups near where you live - and don’t worry about being the star! It doesn’t matter if you only have one
word to say in a play, it will still help you improve. You need to be on stage as much as possible, in a variety of
different types of plays.
When you finish school, you should think about studying at university. Of course, it’s possible to be an
actor without going to university, but doing a theatre course is a good idea for some people. These courses
may improve your acting, and also help you learn about a variety of subjects, such as business, history, music
and dance.

questions.
Every one of us produces garbage of one kind or another. Some of the garbage is thrown into the sea.
Some is burnt or buried under the ground. Every year we need to find about 800.000 cubic meters of empty
land just to bury the garbage.
This is the same as filling one football stadium with garbage up to 20 meters high! This garbage damages
the environment. Although a lot of garbage is buried in the ground, some of it gets blown about in the wind.
Also, when garbage is burnt, poisonous gases are given off into the air. The garbage thrown into the sea will
91 | Page
pollute the water.
What can we do about these problems? One very easy answer is to produce less garbage. We can recycle
things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People can refuse to take the plastic bags from the shops
and supermarkets by bringing with them their own bags or baskets when they go shopping.
The government should tell people about the dangers of garbage pollution. Education is perhaps the most
important factor for keeping our environment healthy for the future.

questions.
EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour is an annual event which asks you to switch off all your lights for one hour. The aim is to
involve as many people as possible in positive change for our planet.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it’s a big event usually at the end
of March every year. In this evening, people 'go dark’ - that is, switch off lights in their homes, schools and
businesses all at the same time for one hour. Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007, when 2.2 million people
in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then, it has grown into an international event,
and many countries around the world have taken part. Famous buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour
include the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Houses of
Parliament and Buckingham Palace in London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New
York’s Empire State Building.
What’s the idea behind Earth Hour?
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for action to protect nature, so that people
enjoy healthy, happy and sustainable lives now and in the future. It’s true that switching off the lights for just
one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this is only the beginning. On one level, joining Earth Hour
makes people think about the problem of climate change and what we can do in everyday life to protect
nature.
What does ‘60+’ mean?
The logo of Earth Hour is ‘60+’. The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour, and the plus invites
people to keep on taking action even after Earth Hour is finished. In fact, people who join Earth Hour say that
taking part makes them want to do more for the environment. The climate activist Greta Thunberg says that
‘Earth Hour is every hour of every day.’

is clear, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children or very old people, help them to cross the road.

children must not play in the street.

questions.
Everyone wants a job that pays well. Some people stop school early because they want to start earning
cash right away. Others spend years and years studying in school in order to get a better job. Which is best?
Actually, studies show that in most jobs, the higher your education, the higher your earning power.
For example, in the United States, high school graduates can make about $30,400 a year. The people who
do not finish high school average only $23,400 a year. Just having a document that says you finished high
school means an extra $7,000!
If you stay in school, you can make more money. A person who goes to college and gets a bachelor’s
degree can make an average of $52,200. With a master’s degree, he or she can make about $62,000. And
studies show that if a person gets a PhD, he or she can make $89,000 or more a year.
Of course, people with different occupations have different salaries. If you want to work and make more
money, spend more time in school.

questions.
Cell phones are an integral part of our society and their main use is communication. They keep students
in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In my day, if you forgot your
lunch, you were at the mercy of the office calling home for you. Now, students have the ability to solve their
own problems and handle certain emergencies on their own.
Cell phones also allow students to keep in touch with students at other schools or friends that don’t go to
school. While not an educational benefit directly, better relationships can lead to higher self-esteem and
reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones allow students to capture the
kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture, and, in some cases, can act as documentation of
misbehavior in the same way that store cameras provide evidence and deter bad behavior.
Academically, the cell phone can act as to record video of a procedure of explanation that may need to be
reviewed later. It could be used to record audio of a lecture, as well, for later review. And just imagine if
classes could be easily taped for students who are absent? What if they could even be streamed and seen
from home instantly?

questions.
English is one of the most popular languages in the world. It comes second in the number of speakers
after Chinese. In Viet Nam, more and more people are studying English and they consider it a key to success.
However, not everyone knows how to learn English effectively.
The best way to improve the four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing is to practice regularly.
You should make use of every opportunity to speak English with friends in class or at English speaking clubs or
ourselves in front of the mirror. Learning by heart all the words does not help much if you do not read a lot
because you will easily forget what you have learned. Reading books, listening to the radio, and watching films
are better ways to memorize words. Besides, English learners should not be so shy because making mistakes
is unavoidable in learning foreign languages. Practicing speaking a lot is a good way to correct your mistakes.

questions.
Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other hand,
have not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about 14,000 years old.
Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and dogs share some of the
same genes, they are not exactly alike. In fact, there are as many differences as there are similarities between
the two.
142 | Page
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a broader
skull than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels raised up from the
ground. This is more similar to a cat’s walk than a dogs.
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means that
dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves have not
been domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a juvenile wolf. A young wolf
will turn into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart by performing
tricks for people. Wolves need to be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a
wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.
It’s important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should be
appreciated in its own habitat or home.
25. The passage mainly discusses ____________.
A. the differences and similarities between wolves and dogs
B. the great differences between the wolf and the dog

B. A dog might be smart enough to perform tricks.
C. A dog walks the same way as a young wolf does.
D. Dogs share some genes with those of wolves.
28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned about the wolf?
A. Wolves have been living on Earth for about a million years.
B. Wolves have better genes than dogs, so they are stronger.

questions.
If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order to do
this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a shortcut for this. But there are many effective ways.
First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc. depending
on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of
the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be
your first choice and keep the translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in
147 | Page
English which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep
a vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them
regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one
after another, people most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and
grammar.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or n to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
There are many kinds of books in the world. They fall into two categories which are fiction and nonfiction.
Well-received books from either kind are even made into movies and games.
Fiction books are written using the imagination. The characters and events surrounding them are not real.
Fiction books can be found in abundance at bookstores and libraries. They can even be found on the shelves
152 | Page
of comic shops and game shops. Often, fiction books are written in two or three combinations from the
science, fantasy and classical groups. The most popular kind among youngsters is probably in the area of
fantasy. Anything involving magic and witchcraft, spacecraft and aliens, or superheroes and time travel may
be used in this category.
Many different kinds of non-fiction books are available on the market. These are written about facts, real
people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are written by people who have
experienced or witnessed the happening themselves. Real-life stories can also be contributed by readers and
thus found in magazines and newspapers.
As more books are written and produced across the globe, our choice for selection also increases.
Although reading is a good form of habit, choosing the right kind of books to read is just as important. We, as
the readers, have a responsibility to learn to choose wisely.

questions.
Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the food groups. It also
means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat, cholesterol, refined sugar, and salt. The goal
is to take in nutrients you need for health at the recommended levels. You can get the most nutrients by
choosing foods with a high-nutrient density. Nutrient-dense foods provide substantial amounts of vitamins
and minerals and relatively few calories, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and fish, and whole
grains and beans.
171 | Page
Low-nutrient dense foods have few vitamins but lots of calories, such as candy bars, soda, donuts and
onion rings. Vegetable sources of protein, such as nuts, beans, and whole grains are great choices and offer
vitamins, minerals and healthy fibers. The best protein choices are poultry and fish. For those who love red
meat, you should stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion sizes, and make it only an occasional
part of your diet. Developing healthy eating habits is not as confusing or as restrictive as you may imagine. The
first principle of a healthy diet is simply to eat a wide variety of foods. This is important because different
foods make different nutritional contributions. Fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes-foods high in complex
carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat and free of cholesterol-should make up the bulk of the
calories you consume. The rest should come from low-fat dairy products, lean meat and poultry, and fish.
25. The following things are low-nutrient dense foods EXCEPT ____________.
A. candy bars B. soft drinks C. donuts and onion rings D. peanuts
26. Which are the best protein choices?
A. nuts, beans, and whole grains B. poultry and fish

busy and most adults are working. The lifestyle is competitive and the daily routine consists of work till the
evenings and then spending time with family or friends at night. Most of the inhabitants in the city work at

vendors etc. The cost of living in the urban areas is more than that in the countryside. Because of this reason,

questions.
Sleep is very important. Did you know that sleep is more important than food? A person who does not
sleep dies at a younger age than a person who does not eat. Let’s say you go to sleep 12 hours later than you
usually do. It will take your body about three weeks to return to normal. We spend about one-third (1/3) of
our lives in sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6
to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. A teenager needs 9 to 10 hours of sleep. An adult
needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need
10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less
sleep as we get older. Most people have some nights when they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans
has a problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep or stay asleep. The name of this problem is
insomnia. The word insomnia means “no sleep.” Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” They may sleep
lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake, so they
think they were awake all night. This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia.
Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman and
inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds
and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay
on his side across the end of the bed!

questions.
There are many advantages and drawbacks of city life that you need to know before deciding whether to
settle down there or not.
Cities are large and highly populated areas and therefore often seem like very crowded places. Because
the population is more concentrated, there are often traffic jams, packed public transportation and streets
swarming with people in a rush. Pollution is one of the major problems caused by high population density.
Motor vehicle emissions contribute to low quality of air and are a major component of smog in some large
195 | Page
cities. Another thing to have in mind if you want to reside in urban areas is the high prices of
accommodations. For the price of an apartment in the city, one can buy a large property in the country, with
lots of indoor and also outdoor space.
At the same time, there are many advantages of living in the city. Everything you may need is close by
starting with hospitals, banks, educational institutions, shops, etc. Cities also have a developed infrastructure
like electricity, telecommunication, water and transportation facilities. While in the city you can get anywhere
by public transportation or a taxi relatively quickly, to get anywhere in the countryside you have to have a
vehicle and drive. If you are unemployed and are looking for a job, the city provides a lot more employment
opportunities. High-paying jobs in finance, medicine, law, retail or advertising tend to be found in the cities.
One can also work remotely, but that means fewer career options.
Consider carefully to have your own choice!

questions.
Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through my own
experiences and observations, I have come to support my opinion on this issue.
My experience that supports this theory involved my job last summer of 2004. I paced around the house
for a while. Finally, I decided to sit down and read the newspaper. There was a section on the community
which contained a list of volunteer activities. They ranged from helping in soup kitchens to helping as an
electrician.
I called a number and decided to spend my time taking care of the grocery shopping for an elderly
handicapped woman. She has since become a good friend. Finally, I was spending my time having fun. I was
making a difference in one woman’s life. It may not have paid in dollars. The experience and pleasure I gained
201 | Page
was more valuable to me than any amount of money I could have earned.
Even more significant is the value and importance of community service in our society. Without
community service in our society, many people would not know the importance of charity. Serving in your
community takes away some of the problems that exist in your society and in the world as a whole.
In conclusion, I believe that choosing to help your community through community service should be very
important to you. It is also important to the people around you. I feel that helping in your community to
benefit others will bring you good things. You will also make the person you helped feel cared about. 36. The

questions.
Some people prefer the quiet life of the countryside. However, cities have many benefits over villages.
Firstly, city life is very convenient. Children growing up in villages do not have as much access to
education as children in cities. Villages may not have enough children to create a school system that goes all
the way through high school; these kids must go to cities to continue their education. Cities have multiple
forms of education such as colleges and universities. More libraries and museums are available in cities.
Entertainment is readily accessible in cities in the form of movie theaters, amusement parks and restaurants.
Secondly, the city provides better healthcare. Villages may have a local doctors’ clinic, but cities often
have multiple hospitals and doctors specializing in even rare conditions. In a city, ambulances and firetrucks
may take only minutes to arrive at the scene. In villages, getting to a hospital in an emergency may take
precious time.
Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career. Villages have a smaller
population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available. Living in the city provides people with thousands of
career choices. Professionals have access to large businesses, hospitals and educational facilities for work
opportunities. People with less education can more readily find jobs in customer service or entry-level jobs.
Even specialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a city with a large population.
I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents. As city populations increase, so do businesses.
People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities. As time passes, more and more people all over the
world leave villages and move to cities, seeking a new life.

From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes in the majority of
countries around the world. Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today,
and the way we lived a century ago. Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects
of life in Viet Nam that are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the
past mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly fewer people working
in this sector of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to be
employed in manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Viet Nam, which was
traditionally agricultural, is transforming into an entirely different country. While agriculture is
still an important component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for
an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept
many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as
they were in the past. This is best illustrated in the way they welcome foreigners. Moreover, the
determination of the people of Viet Nam has not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively
and happily towards the development of their country.
To conclude, while there are differences in past and present lifestyles, there are important
similarities. Although Viet Nam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and
always will be, the friendly welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.
A. Lifestyles in the past B. Lifestyles at present

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and rapid
consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s
and 1970s fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports as franchises for Me Donald’s and Burger
King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China. Traditional meals
cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as
other countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more poultry, fish
and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines in forms closer
to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with ingredients and spices
borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style that was lighter than traditional
French, but more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine. Along with the state’s wines, California
cuisine took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine dining.

Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children learn the
letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link between
watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many TV shows are
violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And of course, more time in
front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the cause of lower grades.
Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch only educational
programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest teaching them to watch TV as
occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

Unlike life in the countryside which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in
the city is modern and complicated. People, from different regions, move to the cities in order

studying, then travelling along crowded boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor scooters
and returning home after a busy day. They usually live in large houses, or high-rise apartment
blocks or even in a small rental room equipped with modern facilities, like the Internet,
telephone, television and so on. Industrialization and modernization as well as global
integration have a big impact on lifestyle in the cities. The most noticeable impact is the

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.
On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, destroy
two million hectares of land in the U.S every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of about 20
kilometers an hour and can last for weeks, consuming everything - trees, brush, homes, and
humans - in its path.
There are three conditions for a wildfire. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to bum. Heat
sources help start the wildfire. Although most wildfires are started by people, natural factors
like lightning, hot winds, and even the sun can all provide enough heat to start a wildfire.
Firefighters fight wildfires by removing the conditions for a wildfire to bum. Traditional
methods include using water and fire retardants to put out the fires. Firefighters also fight
wildfires with “controlled burning”. These controlled forest fires remove small trees, bushes,
and ground litter from a forest. This will deprive a wildfire of fuel and prevent future forest
fires.
Although often harmful and destructive to humans, wildfires play an important role in
nature. Even healthy forests contain dead trees and decaying plant matter. When a fire turns
them to ashes, nutrients return to the soil. They also remove sick plants and harmful insects
from a forest. And by burning through thick leaves and branches, wildfires allow sunlight to
reach the forest floor, making it possible for a new generation of trees to grow.
21. What does the phrase “deprive a wildfire of fuel” in the third paragraph mean?
A. create fuel for a wildfire B. provide a wildfire with fuel
C. save fuel for a wildfire D. take away fuel from a wildfire
22. What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. wildfires B. forests C. ashes D. nutrients
23. According to the last paragraph, why do wildfires play an important role in nature?
A. They burn all leaves and branches. B. They burn sick plants and harmful insects.
C. They burn a new generation of trees. D. They burn nutrients in the soil to ashes.

24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Benefits of wildfires B. Causes of wildfires
C. Worldwide wildfires D. Controlled wildfires

The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of NASA,
Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar
system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the Moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission. It
bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin the
preparation for this historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who promised that in
2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon, the first astronaut would
stand on Mars.
By the end of the twentieth century, various unmanned spaceships will have thoroughly investigated the
surface of the planet. But, however clever a robot may be, it cannot match the type of information which can
be gained from direct human experience. The first geologist on the Moon, Harrison Schmitt, was capable of
interpreting the story of the landscape on the spot. Until humans walk on the deserts of Mars, we will not be
able to determine the history of this frozen world in any detail.

Coal, oil and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power. However, not only are supplies
of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it’s important to improve, explore
and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each of these
alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the atmosphere;
however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of what to do with
nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities
located far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution - free source of renewable energy but it can’t be
used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Solar power is renewable, it does not cause
pollution and it does not add the earth’s heat load. However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar power
also requires expensive equipment.
Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy.
Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resources will ensure supplies of clean, affordable energy
for humanity’s future.

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first
thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature;
neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys. It
prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water,
the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps US go to the bathroom more
easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 millilitres of water each day. But don’t drink all of that water
in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to drink some in
the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during
meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little
more water each day could make you much healthier.

When the Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States of America by the people of France, the
people in America did not understand that Miss Liberty was a gift to all the Americans. They thought she was a
gift only to New York. So they didn't want to pay for her base. At that time, Joseph Pulitzer was editor of the
World newspaper. He wrote stories that asked people to give money to help pay for Miss Liberty’s base.
Pulitzer asked his friends who worked at other cities’ newspapers to help. Soon the country knew that Miss
Liberty was a gift for everyone. The people sent money. At least there was enough money to build the base.
In Paris, the huge statue was taken down piece by piece. She was carefully packed in 214 boxes. In June
1884, she left for America. When Miss Liberty’s ship arrived in America, ninety boats greeted her with flags
flying. They went with her into New York Harbor. The base, which had to be very big and solid to hold the
265 | Page
lady, was not finished. So, Miss Liberty was stored on Bedloe’s Island. When the last stone of the base was put
in place, the workers showered coins from their pockets into the wet mortar. They were very happy. Next
came the hard task of putting Miss Liberty together. The people on shore watched each day as the framework
rose higher into the sky. Then came the copper “skin". Miss Liberty began as a sign of the friendship between
the two countries. Since that time, she has come to mean freedom for the Americans.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet Io indicate the correct
On the fourth Thursday in November, in houses around the United States, families get together for a
feast, or a large meal. Almost all families eat turkey and cranberry sauce for this meal, and have pumpkin pie
for dessert. This feast is part of a very special day, the holiday of Thanksgiving.
In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult trip across the ocean from England. They landed in what is now
Massachusetts. In England the Pilgrims had not been allowed to freely practice their religion. So they went to
the New World in search of religious freedom.
The Pilgrims’ first winter was very hard. Almost half the group died of cold, hunger and disease. But the
Indians of Massachusetts taught the Pilgrims to plant com, to hunt and to fish. When the next fall came, the
Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful to God and the Indians and had a feast to give thanks. They
invited the Indians to join them. This was the first Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later because of the effort of a woman named Sarah
Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for a holiday of Thanksgiving. At last she
was successful. In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday.
How much is Thanksgiving today like the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving? In many ways they are different. For

We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try, we’ll never succeed. Instead of burning
fossil fuels, we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be
produced from any source of energy.
If we didn’t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. We can save more energy by
conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power,
tidal power, hydroelectric plants... our fossil fuels will run out and we’ll all freeze or starve to death.

the waves and the winds last forever. We really won’t survive unless we start working on cleaner and safer
sources of energy.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally
destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895,
just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made
worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry,
medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968. Just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards
which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma,
and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions.
Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.

prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes all over the world. Substantial
differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way we lived a century ago. Vietnam is no
exception although there are some facets of life that still resemble the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past mainly
worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly less people working in this sector of the economy.

rice fields. Moreover, Viet Nam, which was traditionally agrarian, is transforming into an entirely different
country. While agriculture is still an important component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are
accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The people of Viet Nam have retained many of
the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as they were in the past.

When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again is to charge
it up. Imagine if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies are developing cars
that plug into electric sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.
The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their power from electricity, just like other
electrical devices like mobile phones and laptops. This technology would significantly reduce the amount of
petrol that people use. For countries that depend on other oil producing countries for their petrol supply this
could be a great advantage.
Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas, and when
a large amount of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere, they cause
global warming. Hybrid vehicles have already been developed and are being driven. These cars get their
power from both petrol and electricity; they are able to travel longer distances with less petrol. Plug-in
hybrids will be even more advanced as they are designed to be powered mainly by electricity and use only a
small amount of petrol. It might be some time before the cars will become available to the public but if they
do, it will be a major breakthrough for transport.
32. According to the passage, researchers are developing ____________.
A. cars that do not need a battery
B. electric car that don’t need to be charged
C. cars that never run out of battery power
D. electric cars whose battery can be recharged
33. According to the passage, this new technology would be a great advantage for ____________.
A. people who don’t use much petrol B. countries which do not produce oil
C. oil producing countries D. companies which produce cars
34. According to the passage, hybrid cars ____________.
A. use a combination of electricity and petrol
B. have not been developed
C. use more petrol than cars running on petrol
D. get their energy only from electricity

Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that students will
study most regular classes such as Maths, Science and History online.
Students will probably learn these subjects anywhere using a computer. What will happen if students
have problems with a subject? They might connect with a teacher through live video conferencing. Expert
teachers from learning centres will give students help wherever they live.
Students will still take classes in a school, too. Schools will become places for learning social skills.
Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together in getting along with each other. They will help
students with group projects both in and out of the classroom.
Volunteer work and working at local businesses will teach students important life skills about the world
they live in. This will help students become an important part of their communities.
Some experts say it will take five years for changes to begin in schools. Some say it will take longer. Most
people agree, though, that computers will change education the way TVs and telephones changed life for
people all over the world years before.

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effect of global warming. Scientists
have already observed shifts in the life cycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier
and birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual
migration patterns due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountain sides toward
higher elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too
warm. In many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or
farmland blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as
those found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not
possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling sea
ice but have nowhere farther to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated
308 | Page
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further
warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some
species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough
and may disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming.
Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of
the coral. Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread
bleaching and death of coral reefs around the world. Also increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters
the ocean and increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
21. Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to ______________.
A. die instantly B. bloom earlier C. become lighter D. lose color
22. The pronoun “those” in paragraph 2 refers to ______________.

C. they will certainly need water D. they move to tropical forests

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and
mediaeval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud.
Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.
One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud
was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading
have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves
changed in character.
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the
number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction
in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of
reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading
aloud would cause distraction to other readers.
Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be
313 | Page
used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers
was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with US still in education. However,
whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on
the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other.
By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and
to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and
technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.
21. Reading aloud was more common in the mediaeval world because ___________.
A. people relied on reading for entertainment
B. silent reading had not been discovered
C. there were few places available for private reading
D. few people could read to themselves

indication of ___________.
A. a decline of standards of literacy
B. a change in the readers’ interest
C. an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes
D. an improvement of printing techniques
23. The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means a person who ___________.
A. is good at public speaking B. practises reading to an audience
C. takes part in an audition D. is interested in spoken language
24. The writer of this passage is attempting to ___________.
A. explain how reading habits have developed
B. change people’s attitudes to reading
C. show how reading methods have improved

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert
hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years
and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five
billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall.
The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of
the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet
to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to
exist.
Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to
the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in
violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat.
Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If
any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.

Probably the most famous film commenting on twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in
1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened to
describe working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to
the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five years these young men’s health was
destroyed by the stress of work in the factories.
The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp.
Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory.
However, the rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a
gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture.
Scenes of factory interiors account for less than one-third of the footage of Modern Times, but they
contain some of the film’s most pointed social commentary as well as its funniest comic situation. No one who
has seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost
losing his mind in the process.
323 | Page
Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social
context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it accurately reflects the sentiments of many who felt
they were helpless victims of an over-mechanized world.

New York is called “the Big Apple”. Maybe it is not exactly like an apple, it’s certainly very big. There are
too many people. That’s the problem. The streets are always full of cars and trucks; you can never find a place
to park.
Travelling around is never easy in the city. If you have enough money, you can take a taxi. New York cabs
are yellow. They look all the same. But the drivers are very different. Some were born and raised in New York,
but many are newcomers to the United States.
A few drive slowly, but most go very fast. Cab driving is a difficult job. It can be dangerous, too. Thieves
often try to steal the drivers’ money. Drivers sometimes get hurt.
If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can go by bus or you can take the subway. The subway is quick and
it’s cheap, but parts of it are old and dirty. Lights don’t always work and there are often fires on the track. On
some subway lines, there are new, clean, silver trains. But you can’t see the color of the old trains easily.
There is too much dirt and too much graffiti, inside and outside.

My village is generally called Langde which consists of Upper Langde and Lower Lane. My own village is
Upper Langde, 32 kilometers away from Kaili city and 17 kilometers away from Leishan Country. My
hometown is located at the foot of a scenic mountain with a murmuring crystal clear river in front. Groups of
waterwheels by the riverside produce beautiful folk songs day and night.
My father said that this festival runs for three consecutive years. People do not kill fattened pigs during
the first and second years but only in the final year. So, the most special year is the last one, namely the 13th
year. As you can imagine, it is not easy to see many in one lifetime. I can’t remember what the last one, 13
years ago, was like. Fortunately, my village held the festival from 22 nd February to 2nd March this year (2004)

In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional craft of weaving
flowered mats. The mat’s high quality makes them popular domestically, and they are also exported to
markets worldwide including Korea, Japan and America.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started here some 50
years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat weaving village in the northern
province of Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving sedge mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other
places in the South, is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded mats are thicker and have more attractive
colours and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs during the dry
season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and June, otherwise, when the rainy
season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their products till the next dry season. No matter how
much work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income than
growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000 households in
Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long Dinh mat weavers have created
more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats. Particularly, they are producing a new type of mat
made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth, a common material in the Mekong Delta.
Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has indeed brought in more
income for local residents. Their living standards have improved considerably, resulting in better conditions
for the whole village.

Winter is cold in some places. Many plants do not grow during winter. Some plants die. Snow and ice may
cover the ground. It can be hard for animals to find food during winter. Animals get through this time in many
ways.
Birds and butterflies can fly. Many of them do not stick around for the winter. They leave. They go to a
place with nice weather. Then they come home in the spring. We call this migration. Migrating is a good way
to avoid the cold.
Another good way to avoid the cold is to sleep through it. Many animals hide during the winter. Their
bodies slow down. They save their energy. They do not eat. They live off of their fat. They do this until food
returns. We call this hibernation. Snakes, frogs, and bears hibernate.
356 | Page
Some animals store food in their homes. They do not sleep all winter, but they do much less. They live on
what they saved in the summer and fall. This is what squirrels, beavers, and raccoons do. Skunks do this too.
Other animals tough it out. They do not leave. They do not hide. They must survive. Sometimes nature
helps them out. Some animals grow thicker coats in the winter. Other animals change color. The arctic fox is
brown in the summer. His coat turns white in the winter.
Winter may be pretty. It is nice to see snow on the trees. But it is dangerous too. People are also at risk.

Students working for their first degree at university are called undergraduates. Then they take their
degree, we say they graduate, and then they are called graduates. If they continue studying at university after
they have graduated, they are called post-graduates. Full-time university students spend all their free time
studying. They have no other employment. Their course usually lasts for three or four years. Medical students
have to follow a course lasting for six or seven years. Then they graduate as doctors. In Britain, full-time
university students have three terms of about ten weeks in each year. During these terms they go to lectures
or they study by themselves. Many students become members of academic societies and sports clubs and
take part in their activities. Between the university terms they have vacations (or holiday periods). Their
vacations are long, but of course they can use them to study at home.

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first
thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature;
neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys. It
prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water,
the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps US go to the bathroom more
easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 millimeters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that water
in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to drink some in
the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during
meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little
more water each day could make you much healthier.
