Sole survivors from the ancient Greek-listed Seven Wonders of the World, the amazing
Pyramids at Giza are the planet’s oldest tourist attraction. Known as Cheops, Chephren and
Mycerinus. the pyramids were already more than 2.000 years old when Herodotus the Greek historian
visited them (5th century BC). A highly skilled corps of mathematicians, masons, surveyors and
stonecutters did the job of building the Pyramids. 100,000 slaves were used to carry out the
backbreaking task of moving and laying the stones of the largest pyramid-Cheops. About 2.5 million
limestone blocks, quarried locally and weighing in excess of 6 million tones, were used in the
construction of Cheops.
To date 138 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the country's
Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. All Egyptian pyramids
were built on the west bank of the Nile, which as the site of the setting sun was associated W'ith the
realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology. The Pyramids contain a maze of passage ways, designed to
protect the Mummies of the Pharaohs and the treasure which they would take to the afterlife.

IV. Read the passage and answer the questions
Life in the city is totally different from the rural life. The city-life has both sides good as well as
bad. First comes before the bad side. The evils of city life begin from its vast population. There is crowd
everywhere. The growing industrial development attracts rural people. They flock to the city to seek job
and enjoy luxuries of city life. But does one really enjoy a city life is a question. Lot of population
creates problems of accommodation. People live in congested houses in limited space. Colonies of
buildings and skyscrapers are raised at random without any systematic planning. The water-supply falls
short. The smoke from the industry and innumerable verities pollutes the air. People breath only smoke.
They work round the clock. They always are in a hurry and worry. No greenery, no nature, no open air,
no trees, no birds, No time to stand and stare. Can city-life be pleasant?
True, the city offers its citizens many up-to-date modem comforts and facilities. One can get best
education from primary to the university level. One gets variety of books from big libraries. There are
many good educational aids like cultural centers, technical schools, museums, art-galleries etC. For
recreation there are parks with many toys. For amusement there are cinemas and plays. One can get the
best medical facilities in a city. There are good means of transport and big markets.

Hanoi is a unique city where seemingly contradictory characteristics happen to exist in harmony. It

you can easily find thousand-year- old pagodas, colonial French-Style buildings, and modem skyscrapers
all located on the same street. And it is where you can find hip-hop dancers showcasing their skills with
daring moves in the same park where old grandfathers are doing Taichi with a calm and relaxing
demeanor.
When it comes to tourism, there are endless choices for a thrilling and satisfying excursion in Hanoi.
In this city of more than one thousand year of historical continuity, you can virtually walk through time
as you visit various tourist attractions and historical sites. Some of them date back to as far as the 1000s
C.E., such as One Pillared Pagoda, Temple of Literature and National University. The Old Quarter is
also a historical landmark as it was actually constructed many centuries ago, encompassing streets that
made and sold all sorts of commodities. The sights of modernity such as high-rise buildings with
shopping, dinning and entertainment complexes, are, of course, visible everywhere in the city.

Hoi An Ancient Town

26_____________
Hoi An has been through a few centuries of history, but still remains as in the very first days of its
being born. Its two main historical landmarks are the occupying of the Japanese & Chinese, and the
Western (Dutch and Spanish) during the 16th and 17th centuries. Thanks to these days, the foreign
comprehensively positive and special pastimes and culture had made deep influences on the today's
Hoi An.
27_____________
Coming here, tourists can see a series of old-architectured lanes and houses with mossgrown
walls, deeply plain roofs, old furniture in their cristine past arrangement etC. While Hoi An's old-
fashioned charm is always visible, on the 14th of every lunar month modernity takes another step
back. Most premium oriental and western style of architecture meet together here, making a unique
ancient Hoi An, absorbing all tourists who are eager for classic beauty!
28_____________
Tourists should not miss some of the great festivals of Hoi An, among which is Full Moon
Festival, when the Old Town becomes even more festive than usual, active and marvellously
decorated with colorful lights and lamps along every lane. Another one is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Last but not least, the "lantern festival , the most enchanting and special one of Hoi An, which is
typically demonstrated with all colorful hanging cloth and paper lanterns on the 15th of every lunar
month switched on altogether while all electrical equipment is off, leaving the Old Quarter bathed in
the warm glow of colored silk, glass and paper lanterns.
 29_____________
The 14th day of the lunar month is a Buddhist day of worship. Hoi An residents place offerings of
food and incense on their ancestral altars and visit one of Hoi An's many pagodas. 1 he scent of
incense and the sounds of people singing add to the town's enchanted atmosphere. Visitors will get a
rare glimpse into another era - the very far away period of our ancestors, and discovering it
themselves.
30_____________
Hoi An's delicacies are plentiful and particularly tasty and cheap. Let’s take an example, one of
the most popular one - Cao lầu, a dish of rice noodles somehow closer in texture to pasta. What is its
secret? It is the water used to make it, being collected from a special well in the city. The noodles are
topped with slices of roast pork, dough fritters, and lots of fresh herbs and veggies. I think you
should try one of these, or else you will soon regret!

 Mass tourism
Tourism can bring many economic and social benefits, but mass tourism is also associated with
negative effects on environment. Some of the main problems are depletion of natural resources, and
pollution.
First, tourism puts pressure on natural resources. As a major cause of the loss of natural
habitat, tourism directly affects rare and endangered species. An illustration is that over 500 plant
species in the Mediterranean are on the verge of extinction. Lack of water is another problem
because during travel seasons, a huge amount of water is used for tourist activities like swimming
pools, golf courses, and accommodations. This leads to periodic water shortages which already exist
in many regions and are likely to spread and increase.
Another concern is pollution. Waste disposal is a serious problem in areas with high
concentrations of tourist activities. The production of wastewater and solid waste in tourist areas can
negatively affect air and water quality. In addition, exhaustion from traffic vehicles such as buses,
trains and especially airplanes is a major source of air pollution.

IV. Read the passage and answer the questions:
Australia is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of
Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. It is the worlds sixth-largest country by total area.
Australia's capital is Canberra, and its largest urban area is Sydney.
For about 50,000 years before the first British settlement in the late 18th century, Australia
was inhabited by indigenous Australians, who spoke languages classifiable into roughly 250 groups.
After the European discovery of the continent by Dutch explorers in 1606, Australia's eastern half
was claimed by Great Britain in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony
of New South Wales from 26 January 1788. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades,
and by the 1850s most of the continent had been explored and an additional five self-governing
crown colonies established. On 1 January 1901, the six colonies federated, forming the
Commonwealth of Australia. Australia has since maintained a stable liberal democratic political
system. The population of 24 million is highly urbanised and heavily concentrated on the eastern
seaboard.
Australia has the world's 13th-largest economy and ninth-highest per capita income (IMF).
With the second-highest human development index globally, the country ranks highly in quality of
life, health, education, economic freedom, and civil liberties and political rights.

VI. Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are true

3 good reasons to eat in the morning
First, it may protect your heart.
In a recent study, researchers found that those who didn’t eat a morning meal were 27 percent
more likely to develop heart disease than those who did. “Our research indicates that people who
skip breakfast gain weight, which can lead to diabetes as well as high cholesterol and blood pressure
—all of which can raise your risk of heart disease,” Rimm notes. The reason isn’t entirely known,
but he says that breakfast skippers tend to overeat at other meals and snack excessively throughout
the day.
Second, it gets you moving.
In a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN), people who
ate breakfast were more physically active during the morning than those who didn’t. That might be

138
because a temporary increase in blood sugar gave them more energy. It’s interesting to note that
those who at morning meal consumed more calories over the course of the day than ti? breakfast
skippers—but they didn’t gain weight because they were more active
Third, it might give you a mental edge.
Research involving adults and children has indicated that breakfast might enhance
memory, attention, the speed of processing information, reasoning creativity, learning, and
verbal abilities. Scientists at the University of Milan ni Italy reviewed 15 studies and found
some evidence that those benefits might be a function of the stable glucose levels that a
morning meal provides.

II. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to complete each of the following
sentences:
The Moon is the Earth's only natural satellite. It is made of similar rock as the Earth. As the
Moon is constantly bombarded with small meteorites, a fine-grained "soil" or dust is formed from
the lunar rocks and covers the surface. The Moon does not have an atmosphere, and therefore sound
does not carry; there is also no weather. The temperature on the Moon is about -200°C on average.
Having no weather means no winds; the footprints the astronauts made when they First stepped on
the Moon's surface in 1969 are still there today.
Since the Moon is such a close neighbor, its main features are quite visible from Earth with
the naked eye. Most noticeable are the "seas" of the Moon. Although scientists have determined
that the Moon has no surface water, early observers thought these dark areas were seas on the
surface.
A few main theories explain how the Moon might have come to be in orbit around the Earth.
Many believe it was formed along with the Earth from the cloud of dust and gas that originally
formed the solar system Another hypothesis is that a large chunk broke oil while the molten Earth
was forming and stayed in orbit after It had solidified. 1 wo lesser-accepted theories are that the
M(»on was a small planet in the solar system that came near the Earth and was captured by I arth's
gravity, or that a large planet struck the Earth and molten materials hardened to form the Moon.
The Moon does not produce its own light, despite the fact that it is the second brightest object
in our sky (after the Sun). It reflects light from the Sun back at the Earth. Because the Moon's period
of rotation is the same as its period of revolution around the Earth - 27.3 days - the Moon always
shows the same side to the Earth. Therefore, we are unable to see the other half, the "dark side" of

140
the Moon, with our naked eye. Fortunately, we have seen images of this part of the Moon, taken via
satellites and spacecraft that travel to the "dark side."
11. Why the footprints of the astronauts on the Moon in 1969 still exist today?
A. There is no wind in the Moon. B. There is no soil in the Moon.
C. There is no light in the Moon. D. There is no dark side of the Moon.
12. Why we can see some features of the Moon from Earth?
A. The Moon was captured by Earth’s gravity.
B. The Earth is the Moon’s satellite.
C. The Moon is close to the Earth.
D. The Earth struck the Moon.
13. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The surface of the Moon is covered by dust.
B. Space exploration has just focused on the moon in recent years.
C. We can see both sides of the Moon with our naked eye.
D. The bright areas of the Moon were believed to be the “seas”.
14. Which of the following statements explains why the Moon orbits the Earth?
A. The Moon rotates around the Earth.
B. The Moon was formed from lunar rocks.
C. The Moon was attracted by the Earth’s gravity.
D. The Moon always shows the same side to the Earth.
15. Which o f the following statements is not true?
A. Seas of the Moon can be seen from the Earth.
B. Some believe that the Moon was formed along with the Earth.
C. It takes the Moon 27.3 days to rotate around the Earth.
D. The temperature on the Moon is higher than that on the Earth.

situations including emergencies, traumatic events and tragic illnesses- To be able to successfully carry
out their duties, nurses must be able to remain calm and think clearly under these circumstances.
Communication Skills
They have to be able to communicate with doctors, patients and coworkers in a very fast-paced
environment. They must also listen carefully to doctor’s orders and take perfect notes when needed.
Good nurses are able to follow driretions with a problem and easily communicate with patients and
families. A truly stellar nurse advocates for their patients and anticipates their needs. Effective
communication skills in nursing create a high level of patient satisfaction while preventing medical
mishaps.
Responsible

with the health of another human being, there is little room lor error, so nurses must responsibly carry
out their duties at all times. They have to be able to keep track of and record minor changes in a
patient's health or behavior, because neglecting to notice something could end up having serious
consequences. Nurses also need to be responsible when it comes to their job demands and be flexible
with their time.
