It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them
going for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon
became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-
called “energy drinks.” These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink
for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer’s body and mind. In order to do
Page 7 of 120
this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their
beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The
vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person
energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person’s energy level. Another problem is
that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy
drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing
all the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will
get a good result.” However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on
the body. “We just don’t know at this point,” he says.
(Trích từ đề minh họa lần 1, 2017)
Question 39: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.
B. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.
C. Red Bull is the best energy drink.
D. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.
Question 40: The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. one example B. the company C. Red Bull D. thirst quencher
Question 41: According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy drink
gives people energy?
A. Natural chemicals in a person‘s body B. The average age of the consumer
C. The number of beverage makers D. The mixture of various ingredients
Question 42: The word “plausible” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. impossible B. reasonable C. typical D. unlikely
Question 43: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.
B. Colas have been on the market longer than energy drinks.
C. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.
D. The makers of Red Bull say that it can revitalize a person.
The cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth. The acid removes
minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages
remineralization and neutralizes the acid. The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid depends on
the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether the bacteria of the
plaque have been "primed" by frequent exposure to sugar. To keep your teeth healthy, a regular dental
hygiene program should be followed.
Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria
in the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay. It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible,
enabling saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions. If fluoride is present in drinking water when
teeth are forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant
to attack by acid. Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the remineralization of
early carious lesions.
In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to reduce
your intake of sweet food. The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not
between. The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount determines how much harmful
Page 8 of 120
acid the bacteria in your saliva produce. But the amount of sweets influences the quality of your saliva.
Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a long time. Also try to brush and floss your teeth
after eating sugary foods. Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective.
Whenever possible, eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks, apples, celery sticks, etc., that
scrape off plaque, acting as a toothbrush. Cavities can be greatly reduced if these rules are followed when
eating sweets
Question 44: What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. Good nutrition B. Food with fiber
C. Ways to keep your teeth healthy D. Fluoridization and cavities
Question 45: The word “it” refers to_________.
A. dental floss B. bacteria C. removal of plaque D. plaque
Question 46: According to the passage, all of the following statements about plaque are true
EXCEPT_________.
A. It consists of acid producing bacteria
B. It is not affected by eating sweets
C. It can be removed from teeth by brushing and flossing
D. It reduces the positive effect of saliva
Question 47: We can infer from the passage that one benefit of fluoride to healthy teeth is_________.
A. It strengthens tooth enamel B. It stimulates saliva production
C. It makes teeth whiter D. It is a replacement for brushing and flossing in dental care
Question 48: What can be concluded from the passage about sweets?
A. All sweets should be avoided.
B. Sweets should be eaten with care.
C. It is better to eat sweets a little at a time throughout the day.
D. Sticky sweets are less harmful than other sweets.
Question 49: The author of the passage states that the amount of acid produced by the bacteria in your
saliva increases_________.
A. with the amount of sweets you eat B. with the number of times you eat sweets
C. if you eat sweets with your meals D. if you eat sticky sweets

Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the
whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like
flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does
not create any friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its
head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected
from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber.
Page 12 of 120
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviors, they are more similar to humans than fish.
They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer
waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill
or injured members; instead, they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case
occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had
begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great
danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from
all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for
the whales. These holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer
waters.

Nuclear family, also called elementary family, in sociology and anthropology, is a group of people
who are united by ties of partnership and parenthood and consisting of a pair of adults and their socially
recognized children. Typically, but not always, the adults in a nuclear family are married. Although such
couples are most often a man and a woman, the definition of the nuclear family has expanded with the
advent of same-sex marriage. Children in a nuclear family may be the couple’s biological or adopted
offspring.
Thus defined, the nuclear family was once widely held to be the most basic and universal form of
social organization. Anthropological research, however, has illuminated so much variability of this form
that it is safer to assume that what is universal is a “nuclear family complex” in which the roles of husband,
wife, mother, father, son, daughter, brother, and sister are embodied by people whose biological
relationships do not necessarily conform to the Western definitions of these terms. In matrilineal societies,
for example, a child may be the responsibility not of his biological genitor but of his mother’s brother, who
fulfills the roles typical of Western fatherhood.
Closely related in form to the predominant nuclear-family unit are the conjugal family and the
consanguineal family. As its name implies, the conjugal family is knit together primarily by the marriage
tie and consists of mother, father, their children, and some close relatives. The consanguineal family, on the
other hand, typically groups itself around a unlineal descent group known as a lineage, a form that reckons
Page 13 of 120
kinship through either the father’s or the mother’s line but not both. Whether a culture is patrilineal or
matrilineal, a consanguineal family comprises lineage relatives and consists of parents, their children, and
their children’s children. Rules regarding lineage exogamy are common in these groups; within a given
community, marriages thus create cross-cutting social and political ties between lineages.
The stability of the conjugal family depends on the quality of the marriage of the husband and wife,
a relationship that is more emphasized in the kinds of industrialized, highly mobile societies that frequently
demand that people reside away from their kin groups. The consanguineal family derives its stability from
its corporate nature and its permanence, as its relationships emphasize the perpetuation of the line.

Ostriches
Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet and can
weigh as much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead, ostriches have long,
powerful legs that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened. Ostriches use their wings to move
themselves forward and to help them change direction.
Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands called
savannahs. Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have domesticated ostriches, so
now ostriches live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the United States, China, India, Japan,
Brazil and Costa Rica. They are raised for their meat, skin, and feathers.
Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the female, a
hen. Baby ostriches are called chicks. The female ostrich lays the eggs, but both the male and the female
take turns sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.

question.
The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is
changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and
their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however,
the movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they
reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an
alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from
the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no they cost and with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut
electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the
amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building
stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally
responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things:
the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental
impact. 75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced
by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to
green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army
housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than
conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar
panels.
A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400
families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire
neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas
in new neighborhoods across China.
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and
governments are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green
buildings improve living and working conditions and also save money in the long run.

Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or
course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they
work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if
something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth.
This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend
the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating
everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names.
This concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are
even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a
consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.
Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are
only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone
actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to
ask someone what they earn.

to each of the questions from 44 to 50
There have been many famous detectives in literature. But one of the first-and certainly the most
famous is Sherlock Holmes. Holmes was created by the British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the late
nineteenth century.
Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance in the work A Study in Scarlet, which was published in
1887. Holmes instantly became a popular literary figure with the general populace, who demanded that
Page 22 of 120
Doyle write more stories involving him. Doyle compiled and eventually wound up writing fifty-six short
stories and four novels that featured Holmes. While he took a break of several years from creating stories
about Holmes, Doyle continued to write Holmes stories until 1927. Among the most famous of all the
works featuring Holmes are The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Blue Carbuncle, and A Scandal in
Bohemia.
One of the reasons that Sherlock Holmes was so popular concerns the method he employs to solve
his cases: logic. Together with his partner, Dr. Watson, Holmes uses his powers of observation to detect
clues that can help him solve the cases he accepts. Holmes has an incredibly sharp mind that enables him
to determine who the guilty party is or what the problem is. Holmes also is a master of disguise, which he
proves many times, and he is skilled at boxing as well as sword fighting.
While Holmes often solves cases that are unrelated to one another, he has a nemesis with whom he
comes into both direct and indirect conflict in several stories. That person is Professor Moriarty, the leader
of a crime ring in London. In one of the stories, The Final Problem, Holmes and Moriarty fight one
another and fall to their deaths by plunging down a steep cliff near a waterfall. When he wrote that story,
Doyle had tired of Holmes and wanted to kill off the character. He then refrained from writing about
Holmes for many years but public demand for more detective stories induced him to bring Holmes back
from the dead and to continue writing.

Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or
improper, normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our own,
we may experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a
fundamentally different culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other
cultures; however, having our own judgment could lead us to discriminate other cultural values which are
different from our own because we do not understand them.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and school increasingly consist of
various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level
of understanding about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about
other cultures helps us understand different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps
dispel negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect "ways of being" that are not necessarily
our own, so that we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across
cultures. Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from

diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different
experiences.

correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
If you go back far enough, everything lived in the sea. At various points in evolutionary history,
enterprising individuals within many different animal groups moved out onto the land, sometimes even to
the most parched deserts, taking their own private seawater with them in blood and cellular fluids. In
addition to the reptiles, birds, mammals and insects which we see all around us, other groups that have
succeeded out of water include scorpions, snails, crustaceans such as woodlice and land crabs, millipedes
and centipedes, spiders and various worms. And we mustn’t forget the plants, without whose prior
invasion of the land, none of the other migrations could have happened.
Moving from water to land involved a major redesign of every aspect of life, including breathing and
reproduction. Nevertheless, a good number of thoroughgoing land animals later turned around, abandoned
their hard-earned terrestrial re-tooling, and returned to the water again. Seals have only gone part way
back. They show us what the intermediates might have been like, on the way to extreme cases such as
whales and dugongs. Whales (including the small whales we call dolphins) and dugongs, with their close
cousins, the manatees, ceased to be land creatures altogether and reverted to the full marine habits of their
remote ancestors. They don’t even come ashore to breed. They do, however, still breathe air, having never
developed anything equivalent to the gills of their earlier marine incarnation. Turtles went back to the sea
a very long time ago and, like all vertebrate returnees to the water, they breathe air. However, they are, in
one respect, less fully given back to the water than whales or dugongs, for turtles still lay their eggs on
beaches.
There is evidence that all modem turtles are descended from a terrestrial ancestor which lived before
most of the dinosaurs. There are two key fossils called Proganochelys quenstedti and Palaeochersis
talampayensis dating from early dinosaur times, which appear to be close to the ancestry of all modem
turtles and tortoise. You might wonder how we can tell whether fossil animals lived in land or in water,
especially if only fragments are found. Sometimes it’s obvious. Ichthyosaurs were reptilian
contemporaries of the dinosaurs, with fins and streamlined bodies. The fossils look like dolphins and they
surely lived like dolphins, in the water. With turtles it is a little less obvious. One way to tell is by
measuring the bones of their forelimbs.
Question 44: Which of the following best serves as the main idea for the passage?
A. The relationship between terrestrial species and marine creatures.
B. The reasons why species had to change their living place.
Page 27 of 120
C. The evidences of the time marine animals moved to land.
D. The evolution of marine species in changing places to live.
Question 45: As mentioned in paragraph 2, which of the following species returned to the water least
completely?
A. Manatees B. Whales C. Dugongs D. Turtles
Question 46: The word “ceased” in paragraph 2 mostly means _______.
A. got familiar B. soon became
C. stopped happening or existing D. began to happen or exist
Question 47: The word “incarnation” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _______.
A. evolution B. ancestor C. natural selection D. embodiment
Question 48: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Apart from breathing and breeding, marine species were expected to change nothing to live on land.
B. Seals are able to live on land and in the water.
C. Some terrestrial habits were remained when the species reverted to water life.
D. Proganochelys quenstedti and Palaeochersis talampayensis appear to be close to the ancestry of all
modern turtles and tortoise.

Florists, personal trainers, professors, and nutritionists all have healthy jobs according to research. There
are many reasons for this. A florist, for example, sells flowers and plants to customers. This is very
relaxing work. A personal trainer, on the other hand, is usually very fit. He or she trains other people to
lose weight and to keep fit.
However, research also shows that some jobs are 'unhealthy'. They cause a lot of stress and worry. For
example, a taxi driver drives all day. He often faces traffic jams and difficult passengers too. A firefighter
puts out dangerous fires and sometimes saves people from burning buildings.
Most people are looking for the perfect job. They want a job that is interesting, with a good salary and not
much stress. However, it is difficult to get everything. Healthy, relaxing jobs are usually not very well paid.
On the other hand, people with stressful jobs often get good salaries. For example, the head of a big
company gets a lot of money, but he or she does not always have good health, or the time to enjoy life.

The next time you're out in a public place, like a park or a restaurant, look around you. What is
happening? Some people are surfing the internet on their phones. Others are wearing headphones, listening
to music on their MP3 players. That's just the way life is today. We all spend a fair amount of our time
connected to technology.
Now imagine living in a world without smartphones, tablets or any of the electronic gadgets we
take for granted these days. There's no internet and you go to the library and look at a book when you want
to find anything out. You play outside with friends in the real world instead of playing online video games
in virtual worlds. There are no texts, no DVDs and no email. Welcome to 1986!

That's the world the McMillan family from Ontario, Canada, decided to live in for a year. Blair, 27,
Morgan, 28, and their two sons Trey and Denton, aged five and three, got rid of their cable TV,
smartphones, internet, new games console, digital camera, DVD player and sat nav, and instead used an old
TV, a radio, old telephones, a VHS video player, an old games console and maps. They decided to try it
after seeing how their young children were becoming dependent on technology. They aren't alone. More
and more parents today worry about the effect technology is having on their children, particularly very
young children.
The McMillans decided to get back to basics to see how things have changed. So how did they find

Have you ever felt that there aren’t enough hours in the day? These days we have to do our jobs, look
after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay healthy! Like many of us,
Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a home and needed to lose weight. So he
decided to do something about it. He invented the cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each day with a
45-minute cycle ride. He not only feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, “It gives the user a good workout. I’ve only used it for two weeks but I’ve already noticed a
difference.” “I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the cycle washer. I keep it in the
garden, so it’s nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of energy. Then I generally have
breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day.” The green washing machine uses 25 litres of
water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the
clothes, and then for another 20 minutes to dry them. And it doesn’t use any electricity, of course.
Mr Gadsden, the boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine could become very popular. With an
invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your electricity bill, he may well be right.
(Adapted from English Unlimited by Alex Tilbury et al.)

Question 42. The word it in paragraph 2 refers to _______.

D. Alex’s machine isn’t effective in terms of cleaning the clothes.
Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow
up. Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old- fashioned
ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging questions for
parents.
Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know what
these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical in
her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive. How
are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker of the
American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the
classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive comments,
when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior. It's more important how the girls act rather
than what they say.
The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For
example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of
us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets.
There's nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate
for one sex but not the other. According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National
Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important
skills for their future lives.
"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding
gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys earned
money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys but only three
percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about educating a generation to be
good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those mentioned previously.
Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of the
messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect ideas. To
counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their children, and to
encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about differences of sext are.

American jazz is a mixture of sounds borrowed from such varied sources as American and African folk
music, European classical music, and Christian gospel songs. One of the recognizable characteristics of jazz
is its use of improvisation: certain parts of the music are written out and played the same way by various
performers, and other improvised parts are created spontaneously during a performance and vary widely
from performer to performer.
The earliest form of jazz was ragtime, lively songs or rags performed on the piano, and the best-known
of the ragtime performers and composers was Scott Joplin. Bom in 1868 to former slaves, Scott Joplin
earned his living from a very early age playing the piano in bars along the Mississippi. One of his regular
jobs was in the Maple Leaf Club in Sedalia, Missouri. It was there that he began writing the more than 500
compositions that he was to produce, the most famous of which was “The Maple Leaf Rag.”

answer to each of the questions.
We are a planet of seven billion people, and this number is growing by about 370,000 people every day.
This is putting a huge strain on the planet's natural resources. For many governments and environmental
organizations, the race is on to drastically reduce our consumption of resources before they run out.
Water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends on the
availability of clean, fresh water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and plays a major role in
energy production. Although 70 percent of the world is covered in water, only 2.5 percent of that is fresh
water, and less than one percent of that freshwater is readily available to us. Yet we often overestimate how
much water we have, and reduce it further through pollution or inefficient use. Some 92 percent of all fresh
water used annually is dedicated to growing plants and raising animals for food. This means that if water
runs out, our food supply might follow. In India, it is estimated that future water shortages could reduce
grain harvests by 25%. In a country where the population exceeds 1.2 billion people and is growing rapidly
every year, this is a huge concern. India, like many developing countries, is already struggling to provide for
its population. While most people in developed countries can get water at the turn of a tap, nearly four
billion people elsewhere lack access to safe water, according to United Nations Development Report.
Rain forests are another endangered-resource. While rain forests are critically important to humanity,
they are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of deforestation is conversion of
forest land for agriculture. Often called the "Lungs of the Planet”, rain forests once covered 14 percent of the
Earth's land surface, but this has shrunk to only six percent. Every second, an area of rain forest, the size of a
football field, is destroyed at this rate. Rain forests will possibly disappear completely in less than 40 years.

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?
People have been asking this question for centuries, but only recently have scientists and
psychologists joined the debate. Apparently, our genes play a big part in how happy we feel. And while
money and material possessions can (34) _______ our spirits for a short time, it seems the real key to
happiness is life experiences. Buying new clothes or the latest electronic device may make us feel on top of
the world for a short time, but after a while, the feeling starts to fade. We get used to seeing our (35)
_______ and our happiness loses its shine.
What's more, we tend to compare ourselves to (36) _______ and if we see someone with a better or
newer version of what we've bought, it can leave us down in the dumps. Life experiences, on the other
hand, are more satisfying and bring more lasting happiness. Apart from the enjoyment of the actual
experience, they give us memories (37) _______ we keep our whole lifetime. Life experiences bring us
closer to people, too. (38) _______ the next time you're tempted to spend money on material possessions,
try saving the cash for a life experience instead. As you look back on your life, you'll be grateful.

Many universities around the world are proud to have long histories and strong traditions. However,
very few universities can claim to be among the oldest in the world.
Nalanda University, in Bihar, India, was established around 600 BC. It was most likely the world's
first university. In the past, scholars came from Europe, China, and all over India to learn about science,
medicine, the Buddhist religion, and other subjects. The university is in ruins now, but at one time it was an
impressive school with temples, classrooms, libraries, and dormitories.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the University of AI-Karaouine in Fes,
Morocco, is the oldest surviving university in the world. It was probably founded in 859 and became a
famous place to study natural sciences. The first university in Europe is definitely the University of
Bologna, in Italy. It was one of the few universities in Europe that were not influenced by religion.
Professors were forbidden from teaching outside the university, and so students came from all over Europe
to study with its famous teachers.

Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly
everyone went quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were checking their
phones. Realising he had to do something to stop this, Brian made a rather daring suggestion. What if they
all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table until they had finished the meal? If anyone picked
up their phone, that person would have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking'
was bom.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability to disconnect
from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social context, measures also need to
be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box the moment they arrive home, which
gives them the chance to interact with the people they live with. The fact that the phone cannot be heard - it
is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are hidden by the box - means that they are no longer tempted to
use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole family is likely
to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from teenagers desperate to text
friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day, however, dinner takes less than an
hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly makes up
for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is another.
Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it is three o'clock in the
morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when all devices must be put away.
Evenings without technology are usually nice and peaceful and make a more agreeable end to the day.
And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of ensuring you can sleep at night is to ban
electronic devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next to a machine bursting with information is far
from relaxing, and the sounds it emits during the night can easily wake you up. With technology out of the
room, a line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off ourselves and
drift off to sleep.

question.
In the near term, the goal of keeping AI’s impact on society beneficial motivates research in many areas,
from economics and law to technical topics such as verification, validity, security and control. Whereas it
may be little more than a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked, it becomes all the more
important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your airplane, your
pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid. Another short-term challenge is preventing
a devastating arms race in lethal autonomous weapons.
In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI
system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. Such a system could potentially undergo
recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. By
inventing revolutionary new technologies, such a super-intelligence might help us eradicate war, disease,
and poverty, and so the creation of strong AI might be the biggest event in human history. Some experts
have expressed concern, though, that it might also be the last, unless we learn to align the goals of the AI
with ours before it becomes super-intelligent.
Page 48 of 120
There are some who question whether strong AI will ever be achieved, and others who insist that the
creation of super-intelligent AI is guaranteed to be beneficial. At FLI we recognize both of these
possibilities, but also recognize the potential for an artificial intelligence system to intentionally or
unintentionally cause great harm. We believe research today will help us better prepare for and prevent
such potentially negative consequences in the future, thus enjoying the benefits of AI while avoiding
pitfalls.

A. Transcending complacency on super-intelligent machines.
B. No time like the present for AI safety work.
C. The importance of researching AI safety.

Question 35. According to paragraph 1, what is NOT mentioned as a potential benefit of AI?
A. Facilitating the identification system. B. Managing the electricity in homes.
C. Controlling vehicles and gadgets. D. Curing life-threatening diseases.
Question 36. The word “recursive” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. powerful B. repeated C. impossible D. monotonous
Question 37. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. event B. human C. history D. poverty
Question 38. According to paragraph 3, which information is incorrect about the future of AI?
A. We cannot deny the likelihood of AI turning on its creator – the human.
B. The emergence of super-intelligence will yield valuable benefits for human.
C. One of the focus of AI system nowadays should be preparation and preventive measures.
D. The probability of malicious artificial intelligence is an unexpected zero.
We need to attend to the tree loss because of the following tree benefits. Firstly, trees provide shade for
homes, office buildings, parks and roadways, cooling surface temperatures. They also take in and evaporate
water, (39) ______ cools the air around them. Secondly, trees absorb carbon and remove pollutants from
the atmosphere. Trees also reduce energy costs by $4 billion a year, according to Nowak's study. "The
shading of those trees on buildings (40) ______ your air conditioning costs. Take those trees away; now
your buildings are heating up, you're running your air conditioning more, and you're burning more fuel
from the power plants, so the pollution and emissions go up." (41) ______, trees act as water filters, taking
in dirty surface water and absorbing nitrogen and phosphorus into the soil. Last but not least, (42)______
studies have found connections between exposure to nature and better mental and physical health. Some
hospitals have added tree views and plantings for patients as a result of these studies. Doctors are even

Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still
has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the
age of 18.
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the wealthiest
families marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who
drop out of school and earn little money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough food to eat
are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden. One study shows
that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19.
Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as soon as
possible because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older.
Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent,
according to the Nepalese Country Code.
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine
of up to 10,000 rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied. There has been quite a lot
of progress in Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage
and civil society cooperation. The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently
developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls
Not Brides Nepal. However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is
slow and the national strategy has been delayed.

When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate change. The young
German spoke about deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end of his talk, he challenged the
people of his country to help by planting one million trees. Nobody thought much would come of a nine-
year-old’s school project. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner’s efforts had resulted in the planting of
more than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named “Plant-for-the-Planet” - by planting the first tree
outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the one-million challenge spread. As
a result, Finkbeiner was asked to speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and
when he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. “We cannot trust that adults
alone will save our future,” he said in the speech. “We have to take our future in our hands.”
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an organization with around 70,000
members. It works to teach people about climate change and to encourage the planting of more trees.
Germany’s one millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is one trillion - 150 for every person on
Earth.

question.
The Globe
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a popular topic for people interested in theater and history. However, the
Globe Theatre as we know it today is not the same building that was used originally. In fact, the Globe was
situated in many different places during its long history.
When the rental agreement on the original location ended, one of the actors bought a theater called the
Blackfriars, which was located in another part of town. However, many complaints from neighbors and the
town council led to the creation of a petition that requested that the acting group move their company out of
town. Upset with this news, the actors returned to the original theater, took most of it apart, and then moved
the materials across the Thames River to Bankside, where they proceeded to construct the next version of
the Globe.
Page 54 of 120
This endeavor, though, did not go so smoothly. The owner of the original Globe Theatre, who had rented
it to the actors, took the acting group to court. He wanted the actors to pay for the damage they had done to
his building. In the end, however, the actors won the case and continued to construct their “newly-
acquired” theater. Later, the actors split their plays between the original theater and the new Globe.
In 1643, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground. How did this happen? Historians believe that a
cannon that was shot during a performance of the play Henry Vill started a large fire. Yet, the Globe
Theatre still survived. A new Globe was later completed on the same site before Shakespeare's death.
However, it was shut down by the Puritans in 1642 and later destroyed during the English Civil War of
1643.
In May of 1997, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened a newly constructed version of the Globe with a
production of Henry V. This is the Globe Theatre that people visit today. The queen wanted the new theater
to be much like the old one. The new model is very similar to the original theater. For instance, it is also a
three-story building. Also, it has seating for 1,500 people. It also has an area called the “yard” on the lower
level. In its first season, the theater attracted 210,000 people.

question.
Although bear-like, koalas are not bears. They are mammals, so feed their young milk and are
marsupials, which means that their babies are born immature and they develop further in the safety of a
pouch. They are tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupials, which average about 9kg in weight and live on gum
leaves. Their fur is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places. Koalas in the southern parts of
Australia are considerably larger and have thicker fur than those in the north. This is thought to be an
adaptation to keep them warm in the colder southern winters.
Younger breeding females usually give birth to one joey each year, depending on a range of factors.
The joey stays in its mother’s pouch for about 6 or 7 months, drinking only milk. After venturing out of the
pouch, the joey rides on its mother’s abdomen or back, although it continues to return to her pouch for milk
until it is too big to fit inside. The joey leaves its mother’s home range between 1 and 3 years old, depending
on when the mother has her next joey.
Koalas are mostly nocturnal. They sleep for part of the night and also sometimes move about in the
daytime. They often sleep for up to 18-20 hours each day. There is a myth that koalas sleep a lot because
they ‘get drunk’ on gum leaves. However, most of their time is spent sleeping because it requires a lot of
energy to digest their toxic, fibrous, low-nutrition diet and sleeping is the best way to conserve energy.
The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning “no drink” because it receives over 90%
of its hydration from the eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or
times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves i.e. during droughts, etc.
Question 34: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Koalas’ Breeding. B. The Origin Of The Koala’s Name And Its Eating Habits.
C.Koalas Are Mammals, Not Bears. D.The Real Story About Koalas.
Question 35: According to paragraph 2, how do younger mother koalas usually breed ?
A.They give birth to one joey biannually.
B. They give birth to one offspring annually.
C.They don’t give birth until the females reach 6 or 7 months.
D. They don’t breed during the day.
Question 36: The word it in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. a mother B. a joey C. a pouch D. back
Question 37: The word nocturnal in paragraph 3 is ______.
A.sleepy all day and night B. awake at daytime C. sleepy at night D. active at night
Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?
A. Koalas drink a lot of water during the meals in order to digest gum leaves.
B. Koalas spend up to twenty hours sleeping each day.
C. Koalas do not drink water normally.
D. Koalas are herbivorous and tree-dwelling.

answer to each of the questions
Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society;
besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to transform many
aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At educational institutes,
marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work. Teachers often find that grading takes up
a considerable amount of time which can be used to interact with students and prepare for class. AI, at
present, may not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty close. Nearly all
kinds of multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al-driven machines, and
automated grading of student writing may not be far behind. Essay-grading softwares are still in their
infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the coming years, allowing teachers to focus more on
classroom activities and professional development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial
intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing, foreign language, etc.
With the rapid pace of technological advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems which can
help students learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe dream. Moreover, Al
programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools, especially those with online
courses, are using AI systems to monitor students' progress. These systems not only offer students advice on
individual courses but also help students choose majors in accordance with areas where they succeed or
struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next
decades, their influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a much wider
range of services.

Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward
or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate
and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to
change strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in
comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They
tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their
studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may
not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-
up” strategies to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to
be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it.
Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be
disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They
often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work
on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-
achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are
important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks,
ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

question.
Modern civilization is heavily dependent on energy. Without reliable power sources, we couldn’t operate
machines, use transportation, communicate via the Internet, or do many other things. Although everyone
recognizes the importance of energy, deciding what kind of energy the world should use in the future is not a
simple task. The two leading candidates for this role are green energy and nuclear energy.
Page 63 of 120
Currently, most of the energy we use is derived from fossil fuels. Although this energy source has got us
this far, there are several problems with it. For starters, it is a finite resource which is quickly running out.
Some analysts have even estimated that the Earth could run out of coal and oil within the next 50 years.
Burning fossil fuels also creates large amount of pollution, which is harmful to the environment. Although
fossil fuels still provide the majority of our power, governments are seeking better energy sources to use
going forward.
Green energy is one option that is becoming increasingly attractive. It includes technologies such as solar,
wind, and hydro power. These are seen as clean sources of energy because they cause very little pollution. In
addition, they are completely renewable, so there is no danger that it will run out. The major disadvantage
with green energy sources is that they are not cheap.
The other alternative is nuclear power. Like green energy, it is also a renewable source of power that will
not run out, and it also doesn’t produce air pollution. In addition, nuclear power is more reliable than green
energy, as it doesn’t depend on sunshine, rain, or wind to operate. The major issues with nuclear power are
safety concerns and nuclear waste. Nuclear power plants create a considerable amount of nuclear waste
which is extremely hazardous to people’s health. If they happen to have a meltdown, this could destroy the
surrounding area for years to come.
The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan brought this reality into the spotlight once again. In
response, Germany announced it would close down eight of its nuclear plants immediately, and close the
rest by 2022. Meanwhile, other nations refuse to give up on nuclear power, stating that these disasters are
rare. The debate of whether to use green or nuclear power will likely continue for some time. In the end, it is
quite possible that both energy sources will be used to fuel our planet.

In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and
biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy, a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums, livid white spots
on the flesh and general exhaustion.
Page 67 of 120
On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew desperately ill.
The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came
to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors' diet and Captain Cook, on his long
voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off
by the provision of fresh fruit for the sailors.
Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious
disease if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called 'vitamins '. Quite a number of
such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different
diseases are associated with deficiencies of particular vitamins.
Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and
vegetables, is thought to increase significantly our susceptibility to colds and influenza.
The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a
variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say during
extended periods of religious fasting, or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special
provision to supply the missing vitamins.
(Adaped from the book Practical Faster Reading)
A. Oxygen is important to the body.
B. An English ship’s crew were saved in 1535.
C. Supplementing with the necessary vitamins makes sense.
D. Vitamin C is necessary for a healthy body because it is the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and
vegetables.
Question 40. According to paragraph 4, fresh fruit and vegetables ______________
A. increase our susceptibility to influenza. B. contain every kind of vitamin.

B. Iroquois Indians saved the men's lives by giving them vegetable leaves to eat.
C. Dietary deficiencies were discovered to result in scurvy, which was further established by Captain
Cook's successful attempt to counter the disease with supplies of fresh fruit.
D. Even an apparently harmless diet may be very unhealthy if it is not comprehensive enough.

Due to the nature of our business, it's sometimes necessary that our staff work at night. Night shifts
can be particularly demanding on employee wellbeing and health. This can include disruption to the body
clock, fatigue, sleeping difficulties, disturbed appetite and digestion, reliance on sedatives or stimulants,
social and domestic problems and other symptoms of ill health. To combat this, we do not have employees
on night shifts for extended periods. This is because workers’ bodies will just have started to adapt to the
new pattern.
We find rotation shifts every two to three days are best for workers and weekly or fortnightly
rotations are the least comfortable for workers. Forward-rotating programs (moving from morning to
afternoon to night shifts) are better than backward-rotating ones in terms of sleep loss and tiredness.
Page 68 of 120
If someone works at night, there are rules covering the hours they work. Night time working hours
are usually between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. – but this can be flexible and should be discussed between you and
us. To qualify as night working, the night time period must be no more than 8 hours long and include the
period between midnight and 5 a.m. Any of our staff under 18 years are not allowed to be night workers.
We must make sure that you don't work more than an average of 8 hours in a 24-hour period. By law, you
can't opt out of this working limit. We must also keep records of any night workers’ working hours to
prove they aren't exceeding night working limits, and we must keep the records for at least 2 years. These
records can be inspected by you at any time on request.
Our usual limits and regulations for night workers do not apply to self-employed workers. This does
not include agency workers, who are treated as normal workers with us.
If you agree to working at night for us, the agreement will be put in writing. If you are to begin
working at night, we must perform a health assessment before you become a night worker and on a regular
basis after that. Usually, this is just done with a questionnaire, which was created in collaboration with
qualified health professionals. If there are any health questions regarding your health and night work, we
will offer you a follow-up examination by a health professional if you still wish to work nights.

RoboCup is a football competition that has taken place every year since 1997. But the players are
not human; they are robots. The competition's full name is ‘Robot Soccer World Cup’, and the aim is to
create, by the middle of the 21st century, a team of robot footballers that are able to play against and beat
the winners of the real World Cup.
In order for robots to play football, robotics companies have had to develop special technologies. A
robot can't just run onto the field and start kicking the ball. So each robot is fitted with a webcam which is
connected to a computer inside the robot. The robot is able to see where the other players are, where the
goal is and, most importantly, where the ball is. They are programmed to make their own decisions and
during the match the robots' creators are not allowed to tell them what to do. The robots are, however, able
to communicate with other members of their team, via a wireless network.
There is a long way to go before robots will be able to compete against humans. They need to
become more intelligent and become able to react more quickly and anticipate the game. But the
technologies that are being developed for scoring goals have other uses as well. It may be possible to
develop robots that can be used in search and rescue, for example, finding people trapped in buildings after
earthquakes. They may not be as fun to watch as real footballers, but at least they don't demand enormous
salaries!
(Adapted from Solutions 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)
A. A normal football competition B. Robots that play football
C. Robots that are useful for search and rescue D. Footballers and their average salaries

C. Robot footballers are more exciting than professional players to watch.
D. Robots need increased intelligence and better movements to play against humans.
A diver descends into an underwater cave, a scientist researches a dangerous disease, and an
entrepreneur invests in a new business. Each time we try something new, we take a risk. Sometimes, like
the diver or the businessman, we take big risks, usually for obvious reasons-for fame, for money, or to save
lives. Most people will take some risk to achieve one of these goals. But as the danger increases, the
number of people willing to go forward decreases. Only extreme risk-takers continue on. The question is:
What exactly drives these people to go on when others would stop?
To answer this question, scientists are studying the biological factors involved in risk-taking. Their
research focuses on certain chemicals in the brain. An important chemical in risk-taking is dopamine. It
motivates us to seek out and learn new things, and it helps us process emotions like anxiety and fear. When
we accomplish a task, dopamine produces a feeling of satisfaction; it makes us feel good. The riskier the
task, the more dopamine we produce, and the better we feel.
Dopamine production may make us feel good, but being in a high-risk situation for an extended
period of time is also stressful and can be dangerous. Successful risk-takers must learn to deal with the fear
associated with high-risk situations to reduce stress and stay safe. In reality, adapting to risk is something
we all learn to do. Take, for example, learning to drive a car. At first, a new driver may be afraid to travel
on freeways. In time, though, as the driver gains experience, he or she will move comfortably into speeding
traffic and will worry less about the danger. The work that marine biologist and deep-sea diver Rhian
Waller does illustrates this well. She studies life in some of the deepest and coldest waters on Earth. How
does Waller control her fear and stay safe in these high-risk situations? "It comes with practice," she says.
"It's knowing exactly what to do when something goes wrong. We prepare well for each of our expeditions,
and we try to minimize the number of risks we take."
Of course, a person doesn't have to be a deep-sea diver to be a risk-taker. Taking risks is part of
being human. We are all motivated to experience new things. In order to do so, we have to take chances
and, of course, we may fail.

Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet and can
weigh as much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead, ostriches have long,
powerful legs that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened. Ostriches use their wings to move
themselves forward and to help them change direction.
Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands called
savannah. Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have domesticated ostriches, so
now ostriches live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the United States, China, India, Japan,
Brazil and Costa Rica. They are raised for their meat, skin, and feathers.
Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the female, a
hen. Baby ostriches are called chicks. The female ostrich lays the eggs, but both the male and the female
take turns sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.

to each of the questions from 44 to 50 .
The invention of the airplane , like many great inventions, was initially met with ridicule and disbelief.
Although many people who heard about the first powered flight on December 17, 1903, were excited and
impressed, others reacted with peals of laughter. The idea of flying an aircraft was repulsive to some people.
Although Orville and Wilbur Wright, the inventors of the first flying machine, were called impulsive fools,
the Wrights continued their experiments in aviation.
Orville and Wilbur Wright had always had a compelling interest in aeronautics and mechanics. As
young boys they earned money by making and selling kites and mechanical toys. Later, they designed a
newspaper-folding machine, built a printing press, and operated a bicycle-repair shop. In 1896, when they
read about the death of Otto Lilienthal, the brother's interest in flight grew into a compulsion.
Lilienthal, a pioneer in hang-gliding, had controlled his gliders by shifting his body in the desired
direction. This idea was repellent to the Wright brothers, however, and they searched for more efficient
methods to control the balance of airborne vehicles. In 1900 and 1901, the Wrights tested numerous gliders
and developed control techniques. The brothers' inability to obtain enough lift power for the gliders almost
led them to abandon their efforts.
After studying and experimenting with model wings in a wind tunnel, the Wright brothers designed
their first airplane in 1903 for less than one thousand dollars. They even designed and built their own
lightweight gasoline engine. On December 17, they successfully flew the plane for twelve seconds and 120
feet, despite a turbulent start.
Page 77 of 120
By 1905 the Wrights had perfected the first airplane that could turn, circle, and remain airborne for
half an hour at a time. Others had flown in balloons or in hang gliders, but the Wright brothers were the first
to build a full-size machine that could fly under its own power. As the contributors of one of the most
outstanding engineering achievements in history, the Wright brothers are accurately called the fathers of
aviation.

Lifelong learning is now becoming a must for everyone in the modern world. Many people, however,
find it overwhelming, as being lifelong learners means they will have to keep studying for their entire life.
The following are several strategies to promote lifelong learning.
First, start with a clear purpose. Study something that you will likely have many uses in the future.
Design learning goals that should serve you in your career path, as well as in your personal interests. You
will need to think of the learning experience as continuous investment rather than a one-off endeavor.
Second, choose something that is really enjoyable for you. You will need to have fun all through the
pursuit of knowledge and skills, which will be an endless journey. The ‘fun' part will always keep you
motivated, even during the hard times.
Third, lifelong learning is not just about keeping on studying; you will need to think through what you
have learned, and find out how to apply it in your work and personal life. Don't read too much and use your
brain too little. Think more often; meditate on the ideas that you feel might make your work and/or life
better.
Those are the key strategies to make sure your lifelong learning is studying smart rather than studying
hard. Remember, the lifelong learning movement is unstoppable.
A. Strategies to promote lifelong learning B. How to choose something to study

People who daydream are often thought of in negative terms, such as being lazy or not doing what they
should be doing. However, scientists who study the brain have learned many interesting things, especially
from studying the brains of daydreamers. In fact, far from being a waste of time, some scientists believe that
daydreaming is a healthy and useful activity for all of our brains.
In order to study the brain, scientists use special devices that scan the brain and show pictures of which
parts of the brain are active at certain times. When a person is daydreaming, the device will show a distinct
pattern of activity in the brain called the “default” mode of thinking. In the default mode, the top or outside
part of the brain is very active. Actually, several regions of the brain are interacting in this mode. Some
scientists describe this mode as a time when the brain focuses on itself rather than focusing on the
environment around the person. Typically, this occurs when a person is doing simple, tedious work or
performing routine actions that don’t need much attention, like walking to school or cooking simple foods.
People tend to daydream during such activities.
The importance of daydreaming lies in developing both creative and social skills. When the mind is not
engaged in dealing with one’s immediate situation or problem, then it is free to wander. A time of
wandering allows the mind to create things. New inventions may be imagined, or possible solutions to a
problem can be planned. For example, solutions for problems in relationships with other people may come
to mind. In fact, most daydreams involve situations with others. Perhaps these are daydreams based on
memories of the past, or daydreams of what might be in the future. In either case, daydreams help us
develop the appropriate skills we can use in real interactions with others.
As a neurologist, Dr. Marcus Raichle of Washington University explains: “When you don’t use a
muscle, that muscle really isn’t doing much. But when your brain is supposedly doing nothing and
daydreaming, it’s really doing a tremendous amount.” During the so-called “resting state” the brain isn’t
resting at all!

When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate change. The
young German spoke about deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end of his talk, he challenged
the people of his country to help by planting one million trees. Nobody thought much would come of a nine-
year-old’s school project. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner’s efforts had resulted in the planting of
more than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named ‘Plant-for-the-Planet’ - by planting the first
tree outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the one-million challenge spread.
As a result, Finkbeiner was asked to speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and
when he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. “We cannot trust that adults
alone will save our future,” he said in the speech. “We have to take our future in our hands.”
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an organization with around 70,000
members. It works to teach people about climate change and to encourage the planting of more trees.
Germany’s one millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is one trillion - 150 for every person on
Earth.

D. The first tree of the project was planted outside Felix’s school.
Over the last several decades, environmental specialists have proposed various strategies aimed at
slowing down this process of deforestation in developing countries. Many of these proposals are indeed
valuable ideas in that they are realistic attempts to address some of the causes of deforestation, such as
farming, cattle ranching, and commercial logging. All of them rely on government involvement of some
kind.
There are three broad categories of solutions: state economic policies, internal agreements, and
international programs. Economic policies generally attempt to limit the activity of small farmers through
government action. Government actions can include the clear proper definition and enforcement of property
rights, meaning that squatting, or illegally setting on land, would be more difficult. Subsidies can be used to
encourage conservation. That is, money may be paid to supplement the income of those farmers who make
an effort to reduce the usual amount of damage to the forest that their farms cause. In addition, taxes can act
as a deterrent to undesirable land use.
An internal agreement may be made between governments and indigenous or native people living in the
moist rainforests and open woodlands of the tropics, where the vast majority of this deforestation is
occurring. Such an agreement would allow people to carry on traditional activities adapted for some
economic benefit.
Finally, international agreements usually involve the exchanges of monetary aid in return for
government action to protect its forests. One such plan seeks to help pay a nation’s debt in exchange for
restrictions on certain kinds of activities in rainforests. Instead of selling logging concessions to pay down
that obligation, the government receives money for banning or restricting logging in its forests. There is also
the proposal of a global fund created in order to grant money to countries that choose to protect their
environments.
It is clear that something must be done to protect the forests of the world. If the current rate of
deforestation continues, the world’s rainforests will vanish within 100 years, causing numerous adverse
effects on the global climate and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet.

When you flush the toilet or take a shower, the water goes down the drain. But then what happens?
Does it go directly into the rivers or the sea? No. The wastewater needs special treatment to make it clean
and usable again. Let’s follow the journey of wastewater.
Once wastewater goes down the drain, it enters a sewer pipe underground. The pipe takes the
wastewater to a sewage treatment plant. The first step of the sewage treatment process is to remove large
objects from the water. After that, the wastewater is sent to large tanks, where the solid waste sinks to the
bottom. Then, the solid waste is separated from the water until only tiny bits remain.
The water is then moved to the next treatment area. Here, air is pumped into the water. The air helps
bacteria eat the tiny bits of solid waste. Finally, some chemicals are added to kill the harmful bugs you can’t
see.
The water is clean now and ready to be released and sent back into the water supply. It can be used for
everything from watering gardens to filling swimming pools. It’s even used to make drinking water! At last,
the water has returned to us once again.

While the written word has done much to preserve history, pictures are necessary to supplement the
printed page. No other section of the American frontier has been so richly endowed with a pictorial record of
its past as has the area encompassed by the headwaters of the Missouri River and its tributary, the
Yellowstone. For almost a century, beginning in the 1830s, artists with pencil and brush added to this
Page 91 of 120
record. Although paintings and drawings often provide a very valuable record, when pictures are considered
from the standpoint of exactness, the work of the photographer must come first.
In the spring of 1886, a 30-year-old sodbuster who had worked briefly as a photographer back East hit
upon the idea of producing an album of his fellow settlers. For the next 15 years, as the pioneer era drew to a
close, Solomon Butcher crisscrossed Custer County, Nebraska, in a wagon that served as his studio. He
announced his forays with notices in the local newspaper: "Farmers, have your farm photos taken for
Butchery Pioneer History." The fact that Butcher was himself a farmer provided rapport with his subjects.
But his genius as a photographer lay in allowing them to pose as they wished, against scenes of their own
choosing. The portraits that resulted convey the dignity of pioneers in challenging circumstances, and they
remain a classic record of a resolute breed.
Another pictorial account of the American frontier was left by L. Huffman, a young man of pioneer
stock who arrived in the Montana Territory in 1878 to work as a post photographer. When he died in 1931,
Huffman left a priceless collection of pictures of Indians in the last days of buffalo-skin tepees, the buffalo
hunters in the days of the open range, the lonely life of the sheepherder, the growth of the range towns, the
coming of the railroads, and the final infiltration of the "plow man."

In the past, cell phones were big and heavy. In the future, telephones will still be big. The good news is
that people will be able to fold them in half to make them smaller. The “foldable phone" is now in
development.
Page 95 of 120
One company has come up with a smartphone and tablet in one. This device can fold down to the size of
a regular cellphone to make it “pocket-size.” The foldable phone has a larger screen, keyboard, and high-
quality speakers. This makes it easy to use. The flexible display can go from smartphone to tablet just by
unfolding it. The interior screen is so big that it can run three different apps at the same time. People can
watch a video, talk about it, and browse websites online. There are also two batteries inside the phone - one
on each side.
Many companies have been looking for ways to improve smartphones. The foldable phone is unlike
anything else that has come before it. This powerful machine is a smartphone, computer, and camera all in
one. There is a current race to get foldable phones on the market. But we’ll have to wait and see how well
these new smartphones work. If people like them, maybe one day we will be able to fold and even stretch
our phone.

There are many theories of aging, actually all fall into the category of being hypotheses with a
minimum of supporting evidence. One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ systems become
less efficient. Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system, and nervous system could all produce
characteristics that we associate with aging. Following a different vein, many current researchers are looking
for evidence at the cellular and subcellular level. It has been shown that cells such as human fibroblasts
(generalized tissue cells) grown in culture divide only a limited number of times and then die. (Only cancer
cells seem immortal in this respect.) Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken
from an adult. Thus some researchers believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell's
genetic makeup. Any event disturbing the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in
the cell's environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus
bring on aging. Other theories of aging look at different processes.
Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth and is usually measured in years.
While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of a large group of people, it is a poor
indicator of an individual person's status because there is a tremendous amount of variation from one
individual to the next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes occur. For example, on average,
aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform strenuous activities, yet some elderly
individuals are excellent marathon runners.
Page 96 of 120
Another type of aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of changes in outward appearance with
advancing age, including changes in the body and in other aspects of a person's appearance, such as the style
of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid. Like chronological aging, it is
frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have occurred. However, it is an
inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals and because a person's
appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness, poor nutrition, and
exposure to sunlight.

Aimee Fuller was born in England but now lives in the USA. She moved to the east coast of the
United States at the age of 12 because she knew she wanted to be a professional snowboarder. It wasn’t
possible to train properly in her hometown because it hardly ever snowed. There was a dry ski slope in her
town, where she learnt how to ski and snowboard, but there weren’t any mountains with snow to practice the
sport.
Aimee quickly found sponsors and a coach when she arrived in the USA, and she is now a
successful and well-known snowboarding star. She has done really well in many national competitions and
her dream is to win an Olympic gold medal one day.
During her free time, Aimee likes to spend time at home, switch off her phone and laptop and hang
out with her friends and family. Aimee spends most of her time practicing on the snow, and trains in the
gym four to five times a week. She also goes cycling and running. Aimee says it is very important to keep fit
because that helps her stay safe when she is doing snowboarding tricks and jumps. Her advice to people who
want to learn how to do jumps, is to start small and only do bigger jumps when they feel ready.

On a boat near Costa Rica, a team of marine biologists is helping a turtle. The animal is having
trouble breathing, and the team discovers why—there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to
extract the object, but the turtle cries in pain. Finally, after eight long minutes, a 10-centimeter plastic straw
is pulled out.
The video of the turtle’s rescue has been viewed millions of times on YouTube. It has helped raise
awareness of a growing problem: The world’s seas are full of plastic. Since 2000, there has been a huge
increase in worldwide plastic production, but we recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this plastic waste
ends up in the ocean. Today, scientists think about 8.1 billion kilograms goes into the sea every year from
coastal regions. Most of this plastic will never biodegrade.
This ocean plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year. Some fish eat plastic because it is
covered with sea plants, and it looks and smells like food. Typically, eating plastic leads to constant hunger.
“Imagine you ate lunch and then just felt weak … and hungry all day,” says marine biologist Matthew
Savoca. “That would be very confusing.” In some cases, eating sharp pieces of plastic can seriously hurt sea
animals and even result in death.
Plastic is useful to people because it is strong and lasts a long time—but this is bad news for sea
creatures who eat or get stuck in it. According to Savoca, “Single-use plastics are the worst.” These are
items that are used only once before we throw them away. Some common examples include straws, water
bottles, and plastic bags. About 700 sea species (including the turtle from the video) have been caught in or
have eaten this kind of plastic. Luckily, the turtle survived and was released back into the ocean.
How will plastic affect sea animals in the long term? “I think we’ll know the answers in 5 to 10
years’ time,” says Debra Lee Magadini from Columbia University. But by then, another 25 million tons of
plastic will already be in the ocean.

Big Bend National Park in the southwest of Texas is one of the most majestic desert areas in the
United States. It is part of the Chihuahua, which is one of the largest deserts in North America and stretches
over both America and Mexico.
Big Bend Park is home to mountains, rivers, basins, valleys, as well as many plants and animals. It is
not as popular a national park as some others. This may be because it takes an extremely long time to get
there. Big Bend National Park is hundreds of miles from the nearest legitimate town or airport. When people
go there, they need to make sure that their cars have plenty of gas. There is a large risk of running out.
When visitors get to the park, they are usually happy that they drove all the way. The park is 1,252
square miles of desert beauty. There are beautiful cactus blooms as well as glorious sunsets. The hiking
trails are magnificent. Visitors can stay in a lodge that is run by the park or camp with their own equipment.
However, visitors should be careful. Even though the park is incredibly hot during the day, the lack of
moisture in the air makes the heat dissipate at night. The nights at Big Bend are surprisingly cold so it’s
important to bring a warm sleeping bag.

UN warns over impact of rapidly ageing populations. The world needs to do more to prepare for the
impact of a rapidly ageing population, the UN has warned - particularly in developing countries. Within 10
years the number of people aged over 60 will pass one billion, a report by the UN Population Fund said. The
demographic shift will present huge challenges to countries' welfare, pension and healthcare systems. The
UN agency also said more had to be done to tackle “abuse, neglect and violence against older persons”.
The number of older people worldwide is growing faster than any other age group. The report, Ageing
in the 21st Century: A Celebration and a Challenge, estimates that one in nine people around the world are
older than 60. The elderly population is expected to swell by 200 million in the next decade to surpass one
billion, and reach two billion by 2050. This rising proportion of older people is a consequence of success -
improved nutrition, sanitation, healthcare, education and economic well-being are contributing factors, the
report says.
But the UN and a charity that also contributed to the report, HelpAge International, say the ageing
population is being widely mismanaged. "In many developing countries with large populations of young
Page 105 of 120

people, the challenge is that governments have not put policies and practices in place to support their current
older populations or made enough preparations for 2050," the agencies said in a joint statement.
The report warns that the skills and experience of older people are being wasted, with many under-
employed and vulnerable to discrimination. HelpAge said more countries needed to introduce pension
schemes to ensure economic independence and reduce poverty in old age. It stressed that it was not enough
to simply pass legislation - the new schemes needed to be funded properly.

A gift card is a card that is issued by a particular store. It’s worth a certain amount of money. It looks
like a credit card, but it actually works like cash. A gift-card holder can spend the amount of money noted on
the card in the store that issued it. These cards are big money makers for retail companies. One reason is that
when gift-card holders go to the store, they often see other things to buy, and they end up spending more
money than the gift card is worth. Unused cards are another big source of revenue. Companies make
millions of dollars because large numbers of people never use their cards. They either lose them, forget
about them, or decide that it’s not worth the effort.
Gift cards are becoming extremely popular in many countries around the world. In the United States,
they are one of the most popular types of gifts. Why? People love the convenience – cards are easy to buy
and easy to use, either in the store or online. The recipient can select his or her own gift, and the giver does
not have to worry about finding just the right thing.

When we think of the Hawaiian Islands, they often bring to mind a thriving tourist destination with
white sandy beaches and palm trees. However, on one of the most northern islands, you will not find any
tourists or holiday activities. The island of Niihau is characterized by an extinct volcano, a delicate wetland
and thriving forests. It is also the home to various endangered species such as the Hawaiian monk seal. The
island belongs to the Robinson family who bought it from the King of Hawaii back in 1864 with the
promise to maintain the traditional Hawaiian culture and language of the natives living there. In order to
keep this promise, the family over time began to limit visitors to the island. Today, contact with the native
Niihauans on the island is forbidden except by invitation. Therefore, until recently, the natives knew very
little about the outside world.
A walk through the main village of the island shows how Niihau appears to be frozen in time. There
are no cars, shops, restaurants or police. The only means of transport are horses and bicycles. There is no
running water, power or telephone lines. All of the 130 permanent residents are native Hawaiians and speak
Hawaiian as their first language. They don’t pay rent and live by fishing and farming. It’s a lifestyle far
different from residents on the other Hawaiian islands.
The children of Niihau may not have TV or electronics like other children, but they attend a small
school that relies entirely on solar power for electricity. The school is one of the few schools in the USA
that is completely solar powered. The school teaches the Hawaiian traditions and values of living off the
land and ocean, and at the same time offers the children the opportunity to learn how to use computers and
connect with the outside world.
Oneway outsiders can connect with Niihau is to purchase the islanders’ handicrafts such as their
shell jewelry. These products are on sale in other islands. Although few have the chance to visit this
forbidden land, its mystery continues to fascinate tourists.

In the past, people tended to classify things as either worth something or worthless. Household,
office, and industrial waste, seen as worthless, was usually burned or buried in landfills. However, as
landfills fill up, the planet heats up, and energy and raw material prices go up, we are rethinking what we
consider" waste" and "pollution." New technologies are making it possible to reuse waste materials, and
businesses are finding ways to not only throw away less, but to turn trash into cash.
Recycling is the most widespread form of waste reuse. Not only does it save governments money by
reducing spending on landfills, but it also helps companies and individuals lower garbage disposal costs.
Another type of waste, organic material, has a clear economic value. Scientists have developed ways to turn
vegetables, grains into biofuel. Through creative efforts, other waste materials are being turned into
completely new products. An interesting example is EaKo, a UK- based company which makes beautiful
bags and wallets from used fire hoses. On the other side of the world, a local government effort in the
Philippines to turn old plastic bags and other materials into construction blocks.
Even factories are finding opportunities to increase profits in Earth-friendly ways. As goods are
produced, factories often generate large amounts of heat and gas, which are then released into the air. Yet
by refitting a plant, it is possible to capture these materials and turn them into energy, which the factory can
then reuse. Excess energy can even be sold to power companies for a profit. Recaptured energy from US
factories could meet 20% of the country's power needs.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a popular topic for people interested in theater and history. However,
the Globe Theatre as we know it today is not the same building that was used originally. In fact, the Globe
was situated in many different places during its long history.
When the rental agreement on the original location ended, one of the actors bought a theater called the
Blackfriars, which was located in another part of town. However, many complaints from neighbors and the
Page 114 of 120

town council led to the creation of a petition that requested that the acting group move their company out of
town. Upset with this news, the actors returned to the original theater, took most of it apart, and then moved
the materials across the Thames River to Bankside, where they proceeded to construct the next version of
the Globe.
This endeavor, though, did not go so smoothly. The owner of the original Globe Theatre, who had
rented it to the actors, took the acting group to court. He wanted the actors to pay for the damage they had
done to his building. In the end, however, the actors won the case and continued to construct their “newly-
acquired” theater. Later, the actors split their plays between the original theater and the new Globe.
In 1643, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground. Historians believe that a cannon that was
shot during a performance of the play Henry Vill started a large fire. Yet, the Globe Theatre still survived. A
new Globe was later completed on the same site before Shakespeare's death. However, it was shut down by
the Puritans in 1642 because it could not sell tickets and later destroyed during the English Civil War of
1643.
In May of 1997, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened a newly constructed version of the Globe with a
production of Henry V. This is the Globe Theatre that people visit today. The queen wanted the new theater
to be much like the old one. The new model is very similar to the original theater. For instance, it is also a
three-story building. Also, it has seating for 1,500 people and an area called the “yard” on the lower level. In
its first season, the theater attracted 210,000 people.

Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings of all time, in 1503.
He was working on a special painting for a church at the time, but it was not going well. The woman who
can be seen in the Mona Lisa is said to be Madonna Lisa del Giocondo. She was the wife of an Italian
businessman who asked da Vinci to paint a portrait of her.
After Leonardo da Vinci finished the painting in 1506, he was invited by the French King, Francois I, to
visit France, and he took the painting with him. Today, the Mona Lisa is kept in the Louvre, an art museum
in Paris, and it is seen by about six million visitors a year.
The painting measures only 77 centimeters by 53 centimeters and is painted with oil on wood. In 1911, it
was stolen by a worker at the Louvre, Vincenzo Peruggia, who took it out of the museum by hiding it under
his coat. Two years later, police found the painting under Peruggia's bed after he tried to sell it.

In 1962, the Mona Lisa was taken to Washington and New York for an exhibition. For the journey, it was
insured for 100 million dollars, making it the most valuable painting ever!

Globalisation has affected most aspects of our lives. One area which has changed is education. More
and more people move to different countries for their studies. At the same time, more people stay at home
and study by distance learning. It is now easy to learn without attending a college or university, or attending
less often. ‘Blended learning’ means studying partly in a traditional way in the classroom and partly online
or via email.
Diﬀerent countries have benefited from the globalisation of education in different ways. Students
can get an internationally recognised degree at a much cheaper price than going abroad and so can improve
their chances of getting a good job. At the same time, those in the countries providing world-class degrees
also benefit. They have greater access to ideas and knowledge from all over the world and having
international students enrich their universities. However, it is not good news for everyone in some
developing countries. It is usually the elite who are prosperous enough to have access to international
education. Many people in rural areas have not even had a primary education. Also, those areas usually do
not have reliable internet connections and most people do not own a computer. It will take a bit more time
for international opportunities to reach everyone in developing countries. Unfortunately, one concern people
have about globalisation is that it can start to mean 'westernisation'. In other words, local knowledge can be
lost and money seen as more important than culture.
Educational institutions have changed their focus due to globalisation. There are so many benefits of
having overseas students that universities are competing for them, using strategies from the world of
business. There is also more emphasis on the student experience. There is more focus on customer care,
especially helping international students to settle in, improve their English and understand the academic
culture of the host country.
