VII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
The American family unit is in the process of change. In the first half of the 20 th century, there
were mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear. An extended family includes mother,
ENGLISH GROUP HA THANH HIGHSCHOOL

father, children and some other relatives, living in the same house. A nuclear family is composed of
just parents and children living under the same roof.
As the American economy had progressed from agricultural to industrial one, people were forced
to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs. These jobs were mainly in the large cities.
Now, in fact, three-quarters of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2.5% of the national total
land mass. Of the 118 million in the labour force, only 3 million still work on the farm.
Since moving for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear family became
more popular. At present, 55% of the families in the US are nuclear families. But besides the two types
of traditional family groupings, the family is now being expanded to include a variety of other living
arrangements because of divorce. There is an increase in single-parent families, in which a father or
mother live with one or more children. Divorce has also led to blended families, which occur when
previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriage into
a new family. There are also some couples who do not want to have children to form two-person
childless families.
41. A nuclear family is one that________.
A. consists of father, mother, and children living in the same house
B. relatives live with
C. there are only grandparents, parents and their children living in
D. is bigger than extended family
42. The expression “under the same roof’ means________
A. a house with one roof B. a house with the roof the same as the wall
C. in the same building D. under the house
43. The nuclear family becomes more popular because of________.
A. more divorces B. the division of the extended family
C. fewer jobs in big cities D. an increase in single-parent families
44. How many types of families have there been in the US since the first half of the 20th century?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
45. A blended family is a newly-formed family________.
A. with the combination of children of the two previously married father and mother
B. that has only father or mother living with children
C. in which there are no children
D. that there is only one couple living in with their newborn children

Work for the Rights of Native Peoples
In 1992 the Western world celebrated that it was 500 years since Columbus reached America. In the
same year, the Guatemalan Indian woman Rigoberta Menchú was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for
her work for the rights of native peoples and reconciliation between ethnic groups. She had been
nominated by Native American organizations, who wanted to draw attention to the fact that the
European discovery of America had led to the killing and suppression of native populations.
Rigoberta grew up in a country marked by extreme violence.
Several members of her own family were killed by the army, which
was hunting down opponents of the regime. She herself fled to
Mexico in the early 1980s, where she came into contact with
European groups that were working for human rights in Latin
America. With time, Rigoberta began to favor a policy of
reconciliation with the authorities, and Norway served as the
intermediary in negotiations between the government and the guerrilla organizations. A peace
agreement was signed in 1996. Rigoberta Menchú herself became a UN Ambassador for the world’s
native peoples.

A pioneer leader for women's rights, Susan Anthony became one of the leading women
reformers of the 19th century. In Rochester, New York, she began her first public crusade on behalf of
temperance, the habit of not drinking alcohol. The temperance movement dealt with the abuses of
women and children who suffered from alcoholic husbands. Also, she worked tirelessly against slavery
and for women's rights. Anthony helped write the history of woman suffrage.
At the time Anthony lived, women did not have the right to vote. Because she voted in the
1872 election, a US official arrested Anthony. She hoped to prove that women had the legal right to
vote under the provisions of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution. At her trial, a hostile
federal judge found her guilty and fined her $100, which she refused to pay.
Anthony did not work alone. She worked with reformers of women's rights such as Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and Amelia Bloomer. Susan worked for the American Anti-Slavery Society with

Ecotourism is a combination of ecology (the study of systems of living things) and tourism.
The international Ecotourism Society defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that
conserves the cnvironment and improves the well-being of the local people." Actually, ecotourism can
mean travel to far-off places of great natural beauty, but not always in a responsible way. It's a big
business, and the allure of money can cause people to think about profits first. While ecotourism
offers benefits for people and ecosystems, it leaves ecosystems open to negative effects, too.
Costa Rica, once a Spanish colony, and independent since 1821, has an ecotourism industry
worth over one billion dollars yearly, and thousands of jobs have been created. Nearly 21 percent of
the land is now protected national parks, largely thanks to ecotourism. Nonetheless, due to the number
of people visiting the country's natural places, some damage to the ecosystem has occurred.

The experienced backpacker has a natural feeling for such things, and our eyes were drawn to a
small blue circle on the map, like an eye winking at us. We could not see it from where we were, but
we followed our judgement and descended steeply until it came into view.
We were right. It was a calm pool, with flat grass beside it. Gently taking our packs off, we
made the first of many cups of tea before pulling up our lent. Later that evening, over another cup of
tea and after a good meal, we sat outside the tern watching the sun set over a glittering sea dotted with
islands, towards one of which a ferry was slowly moving. It is not always so perfect, of course. On
another trip, with a different companion, a thoroughly wet day had ended at a lonely farm. Depressed
at the thought of camping, we had knocked and asked if we could use a barn as a shelter.
The speed at which the backpacker travels makes this the perfect way to see any country. You
experience the landscape as a slow unfolding scene, almost in the way it was made; and you find time
to stop and talk to people you meet. I've learned much local history from simply chatting to people met
while walking through an area. At the end of a trip, whether three days or three weeks, there's a good
feeling of achievement, of having got somewhere under your own power.
After years of going out walking just for the day, many people start backpacking simply
through wanting to stay out rather than cut short a trip.
There is one important rule the good backpacker should follow: respect the land and its people
- as the Americans say, ‘take only photographs (one might add memories), leave only footprints’.
With good equipment, you can survive just about anything the weather can throw at you - and
modern equipment is very good indeed. Of course, you need to know how to use it - go to a specialist
outdoor shop for good advice. In particular, you need to be confident in map reading.
As with any other sport, start gently and locally, improve your skills and gradually widen your
horizons. Britain is only crowded in patches and there is still plenty of space for the backpacker
wanting to be alone.
26. The writer and his companion knew there was a pool because ____.
A. they had seen it earlier in the day B. they had been told about it
C. they could see it on the map D. they expected a perfect camp site
27. How did they feel at the end of the day?
A. They wished they could have found a farm.
B. They were delighted with the spot they'd found.
C. They were anxious about the weather to come.
D. They were eager to enjoy tea and meal.
28. According to the writer, the main advantage of backpacking is that you can ____.
A. find out how the landscape was made
B. gain an understanding of the area you walk through
C. make new friends while walking
D. know how to overcome difficulties
29. What advice does the writer give about backpacking?
A. You should take lots of photographs to remind you of your trip.
B. You should avoid spending too much on equipment
C. You should first walk in an area you are familiar with.
D. You should explore by asking specialist shops.
