TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY
One of the more difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of funds.
During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the
money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away. For example,
traveling to Australia from Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of
students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.
For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they are in luck.
Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-known for offering them.
When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to
get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits
where he can earn some money.
Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in
the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people are unlikely to have, such as
being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn’t discourage you, though,
because there is always something to be found if you search hard enough.
There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If you have
the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket
you were looking for.

SIMPLE WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT ON A BUDGET
Plan to Cook at Home
Instead of buying costly prepared meals, which often tend to be high in calories, cook your own at
home. Plan out our meals with high-fiber foods like beans and whole grains which will keep you full and
are a cheaper, healthier alternative to rich proteins and more processed grains.
Eat Less
Eating less leads to weight loss, and cost savings, especially if you cut down on the right things. Start
by cutting your portions of spicy meat and poultry. Or swap out meat and poultry for cheaper vegetarian
proteins like beans, lentils, tofu and eggs for some of your meals.
Double Up on Vegetables
Vegetables are great for weight loss, as well as all-around health. They are low in calories and high
in water and fiber – two things that keep you feeling full. Save cash by shopping for those that are in
season. Frozen vegetables can be a great bargain, with just as much nutrition as fresh, since they are
picked and frozen at their peak ripeness.
Get Creative with Your Exercise Options
You don’t need to shell out a monthly gym fee to get moving. Instead, find fun activities you enjoy
for free. If you’re just getting started with a regular exercise routine, try your beginning with daily
walks: start slowly and build up time and speed.
Make Friends with Someone
One of the most powerful resources you have for helping you lose weight is your social network.

found that when friends participated in a group weight-loss programme together, they lost more weight
than people who did the same programme on their own.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY
One of the more difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of funds.
During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the
money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away. For example,
traveling to Australia from Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of
students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.
For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they are in luck.
Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-known for offering them.
When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to
get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits
where he can earn some money.
Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in
the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people are unlikely to have, such as
being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn’t discourage you, though,
because there is always something to be found if you search hard enough.
There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If you have
the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket
you were looking for.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your
money back. From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send...” and so on? Of course,
it never happens quite like that. One’s mother language is easier to learn, but it also requires a lot of
practice to be fluent. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War, people
usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people
start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try it at home, with books and records of tapes; some
use radio or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If
they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language
at school. A few people try to learn the language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly
easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this,
and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example,
scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether
the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they
cannot do the student’s work for him.
28. According to some advertisements, you _______.
A. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks
B. needn’t pay your money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks
C. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks
D. will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks

A. read the literature of the country B. read books and reports
C. do their work better D. go to foreign countries

A. to go to the country where the language is spoken
B. to use machines and good books
C. to go to evening classes
D. to do as the advertisements tell you to
31. Learning a foreign language is a hard job _______.
A. only for scientists and doctors B. only for the students at school
C. for those people at home D. for most people

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part
of a person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey
animals. Therefore, it is no wonder that when our ancient ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs
wiggling on the ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that
people snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms. They are often deep-
fried and salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past
the fact that you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!
For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see
insects as invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to ear. Therefore,
being able to eat insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or
stinky tofu because they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category,
making it difficult to even try them.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an exercise bike.
Typically, people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them. They are
effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier
to go for a gentle jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You
don’t need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach. The
main thing is that they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the
summer. There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and
that’s your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for something that
will support your feet and protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if they are good quality
they will last you a long time. It’s always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports
shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do too much at the beginning –
especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten
minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase
the amount you do gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to run at a reasonable speed
for twenty minutes three or four times a week. It’s important that you feel comfortable with whatever
you do. If you do, you’ll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel
uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any case, training
too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercise for twice as long or
twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice as fit.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs. Nowadays, it can
take months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, for example, the
voice. Then they record other instruments- electric piano, synthesizer, guitars, drums and so on.
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments until
they get the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette will always sound very different
from a live concert.
Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of music. A
computer can analyse a singer’s voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music of a song, the
computer can ‘sing’ it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to record one song and the
computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice. Singers can sing new songs many years
after they have died.
Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the same as
soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or ‘band’), they first try to develop the band’s
‘profile’. They will try to create an ‘image’ for the band that they think will attract young people.
Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the band what they should wear,
what they should say and how they should sing and play.
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say that the
big companies are too commercial.
28. Today, to record songs, it takes __________.
A. longer than it used to do
B. shorter than it used to do
C. only one or two days
D. the same amount of time as the 1960s

A. different sounds of recorded songs and live- performed songs.
B. the mixture between CDs and live concert
C. some special effects on songs
D. differences invoices and instruments played

A. It is predicted to change the music future.
B. It can imitate singers’ voice.

B. tell the band what to say

WORLD BBQ
To some people, there is nothing more appetizing than the smell of meat sizzling over an open fire.
Throughout the world, people love to eat barbecue because it lets them together with friends and family
to enjoy a meat that brings them back to their caveman roots. Cooking over coals or an open flame
makes people feel more sociable.
Most countries have barbecue traditions, and they usually take place on national holidays. In the
United States, it is a tradition to have a barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs on July 4, which is
Independence Day. In Taiwan, people get together to eat barbecue during the Moon Festival, and the
smell of burning coal is in the air all day.
In South America, and in Argentina in particular, barbecue is a way of life. All sorts of meats and
sausages are put on a large grill together over hot coals. Barbecue is even considered the national dish in
Argentina, and it is given the name asado in Portuguese. This means not only the dish, but also the social
event that surrounds an Argentina barbecue.
When a person speaks about Turkish and Middle Eastern barbecue, the kebab immediately comes to
mind. The tradition of taking different meats, and sometimes vegetables as well, and spearing them with
a sharp stick called a skewer has crossed cultural lines today. Practically, anywhere in the English-
speaking world, the thought of shish-kebab will make barbecue lovers’ mouths water.

barbecue. If you visit different places, be bold and try whatever the local specialities are.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH IN TODAY’S WORLD
English was originally the language of England, and soon it has become the primary or secondary
language of many former British colonies such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and India.
Nowadays, it is the most international language in the world. There are several factors that make the
English language essential to communication in our current time.
First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people who come from
different countries (for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use English as a common language to
communicate. English is also essential to the field of education. In many countries, children are taught
and encouraged to learn English as a second language. At the university level, students in many
countries study almost all their subjects in English in order to make the material more accessible to
international students. On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and created in English. Even
sites in other languages often give you the option to translate the site. It is the primary language of the
press: more newspapers and books are written in English than in any other language, and no matter
where in the world you are, you will find some of these books and newspapers available.
Although many people think that it is very difficult and confusing, English is actually the easiest
language of the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as you decide you
want to learn, there are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores. With good
understanding and communication in English, you can travel around the globe. Because it is the
international language for foreigners, it is easy to get assistance and help in every part of the world. You
can test it by online travel. Any travel booking site you can find will have English as a booking option.
28. When two people having different mother tongues meet each other, they will use _______.
A. their own mother tongues to communicate

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value the love and
worth of a friend when he has been taken from us by death more than when he was with us in the flesh;
it is only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our opportunity of
education, which has gone forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good health.
When we are young and strong, we cannot imagine what it is like to be weak and ill. We are so used to
vigorous health that we take it for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we scarcely
know we have lungs and liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives us pain
and sickness, we learn by bitter experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes us miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples our efforts
so that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done. It spoils our life.
What must we do to keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple food.
Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when young, get plenty of
sleep, which is “nature’s sweet restorer”, and not try to burn the candle at both ends. We must live as
much as possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated. We must get sufficient and regular
physical exercise, and keep our bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid
the devil, and keep our thoughts clean and our bodies pure. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the
sound body.

A. only when they are with us

of the questions.
All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of the
most popular is undoubtedly sausage.
To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various animal
parts. Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn’t be served in their
original forms can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other less
appetizing areas of an animal’s body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a certain
percentage of fat, along with spices and other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat mixture is then
stuffed into the cleaned intestines of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends. The result is
sausage.
The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far the
favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy. When
sausages are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour. While boiling is probably the
simplest method, smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavour.
Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it became the
tasty thing you are eating. After all, you don’t want to ruin a good snack.
28. What are by far the favourite meats for making sausages?
A. Chicken B. Horse meat C. Cuts of lamb D. Beef and pork
29. What is the simplest method of cooking sausages?
A. Grilling B. Smoking C. Boiling D. Baking
30. What won’t be served in their original forms?
A. Certain cuts and parts of animals B. Spices and fillers
C. Sausages of all types D. Intestines of an animal
31. What advice is given in the passage?
A. Be careful when making sausages.
B. Don’t think too much about what you are eating when eating sausages.
C. Try not to use too much fat in the meat mixture when making sausages.
D. Make sure intestines are cleaned before packing with meat.

32. Where is the mixture of meat placed?


A. Inside a plastic package B. Inside a cleaned intestine
C. Inside a refrigerator D. Inside a metal container

Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had to recover from
the ravages of war. Substantial progress was achieved from 1986 to 1997 in moving forward from an
extremely low level of development and significantly reducing poverty. Since 2001, Vietnamese
authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic liberalization and international integration.
They have moved to implement the structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce
more competitive, export-driven industries.

Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001 have led to even more rapid changes in

Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following over a decade long
negotiation process. This should provide an important boost to the economy and should help to ensure
the continuation of liberalizing reforms.

stem high inflation. Hanoi is targeting an economic growth rate of 7.5 – 8% during the next five years.

Education System of Vietnam in the past
Because of 1,000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated a formal
education system in Vietnam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders and declared
Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh, did not last so long, and were busy
with the national defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, the founder king of the Ly
dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly Thanh
Tong established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage people to
appreciate the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Tong to select
scholars for the office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Vietnam’s
history, was set up for the education of sons of royalty and other high-ranking officials.
There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy
Don, Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan... The students would only study
literature and ancient history of China, and Vietnam for entirety of their schooling. Later on, the Public
Administration curriculum was finally added to the programme. When the Ho Royal family ruled the
country, students were taught simple mathematics.
From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam’s education programme adopted the western education system with
three levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese national
language is officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history, philosophy, law,
science, math, medicine and other languages.

A. the ways to rule the country

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

A. it has the origin from Kim Son, Ninh Binh
B. it has had the reputation for more than 50 years
C. the techniques are a little bit different from those in other regions
D. the mats have more attractive colours and designs
29. We can infer from the sentence “Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice” that _________.
A. both depend on weather conditions
B. both occur on the same land
C. both bring similar income
D. both occur at the same time
30. Despite difficulties, people in Long Dinh try to follow the craft because _________.
A. they can have jobs in the rainy months
B. they can go to Korea, Japan and America
C. hey can make the techniques of weaving different
D. they can earn more money than growing rice

31. In order to meet market demands, artisans in Long Dinh .


A. produce new Products from rare material
B. for thousands of local labourers
C. try to produce various types of Products
D. stop producing the traditional sedge mats

Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as gesture
of good will. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had more practical purposes.
Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he would
often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend
himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling around each other, weapons in hand, until it
was mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside. Then the two parties extended their right
hands to show they had no weapons, and clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake.
The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the orient, people have for centuries, clasped
their own in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no weapons. In France, a custom
developed in which people who met would kiss each other on both cheeks. The natives of some South
Seas islands greet by rubbing noses.

You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the
assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask
questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after
class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular
homework assignment should take to complete so you can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have
libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more work
you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how much you
have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have
between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote
more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn
for help is your teacher. But what if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big
enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly
and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain something in a different way.
Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another student. If there is someone you like
who is a good student, think about asking that person if you can study together.
28. The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment may be ________.

Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? I If you have, there
is an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known
as the Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars.
Those chosen people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a
return trip.
For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be
living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that
allow them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they
will have to deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to
communicate with people back on the earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth.
However, there won’t be any real-time communication. Even at the speed of light, communication
between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are
asking. There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the
mission a miserable score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream to go
to Mars, at least they can say there is a possibility that it could happen.

B. People who don’t like to communicate

cannot eat or you do not like? Do not make a fuss about it. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one
notices it. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you are enjoying. Do not leave immediately

stay how much you enjoyed the evening.

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

I didn’t even notice him. It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I
were walking up Broadway. I was thinking, “Milk, dry cleaners, home?” Was I supposed to notice a guy
sitting inside a cardboard box next to newsstand? No, but Nora did she wasn’t even four, but she pulled
at my coat sleeve and said. “That man’s cold, daddy. Can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my reply – probably something like. “That wouldn’t really be helping him”.
Maybe I made her feel better by giving her an apple. I don’t know. But I do remember a sudden heavy
feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether
it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty.
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly
people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and
delivered it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She
could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was. When
Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to push myself to leave the house. On the way to school, I fought
an urge to turn back. The Sunday paper and my coffee were waiting at home. Why do this? Still, we
picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we’d been assigned. She invited us right over. And
that day Nora and I paid a visit to her depressing flat. After saying goodbye, I walked home in tears.
Professionals call such a visit a “volunteer opportunity”. Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I
helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the old woman’s alone – it was in our lives, too. Nora and I
regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve watched her
grow over these past four years, I still wonder – which of us has benefited more?

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents
make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic
parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child.
Michael is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to
concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers
twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the
trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is
unwilling.
Winston, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and
they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they
enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is
always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each

Women in Britain are better off today than they used to be. At the beginning of the 19 th century,
women seem to have almost no rights at all. They could not vote, or even sign a contract. Their
marriages were arranged by their parents. They were once kept at home and if they were allowed to
work, they were never given responsible jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as we know, most women
were happy with that situation.
Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own husbands. In 1970,
a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the same year the
Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal value.
Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status between men
and women. Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more difficult for a woman to
get promotion than a man does.
There is sex distinction in England although it has not been so serious as it was. More and more
women go out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live independently.
However, there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is men’s attitude. They always think
that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex. We do not know exactly how long it will take
them to change their mind. And the other problem which is much more difficult is women’s attitude.
They should be ready to struggle to change their fate.
28. What is men’s attitude?
A. They consider women to be equal to them.
B. They always look up women.

Recently, we made a trip to revisit Dong Ho Village with a desire to meet old artisan Nguyen Huu
Sam. Just when we arrived at the dyke in the village and talked with the villagers about the artisan, they
intimately told us about him.
The old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of the
house there are many folk paintings in different genres, from daily life paintings to landscape paintings
shown in a set of “four seasons”
Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft of making
Dong Ho paintings by his father. At five, he could help his father apply the the Dong Ho paintings. At
seven, he was able to draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. Years went by and the soul
of Dong Ho folk paintings has kept seashell powder paint to the poonah-paper.
In the 1940s this craft flourished. At that time Nguyen Huu Sam was assigned by his parents to take
the paintings to the market for sale. Mr.Sam said that 17 families in the village had been engaged in
making Dong Ho paintings.
Artisan Nguyen Huu Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has
waited for opportunities to restore this traditional craft. In 1967, when the local authorities assigned him
to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 villagers with professional
skills and collected hundred of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting Cooperative. Thanks to
his efforts, such famous paintings as “Rat’s wedding”, “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing
verses about precious flowers” have been revived. Dong Ho paintings have been available in many parts
of the world such as Japan, France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.
28. In the writer’s opinion, the future of Dong Ho paintings is _________.
A. international B. concerning C. optimistic D. negative

When many people think of women in Asian culture, they think of a male dominated society where
women don’t have as many rights as their male counterparts. However, the Filipino are different.
Filipino women have always enjoyed greater equality than women in other nations in Southeast Asia.
For starters, Filipino women today serve as heads in the family arrangement, handing the money,
acting as religious mentors and even arranging marriages for their sons and daughters. This is a sharp
contrast to women being subjugated to their husbands.
This does not mean that they have equality everywhere. In the workplace, Filipino women are paid
less and are often hired for lower positions even if they are qualified to earn more money. On the home
front, women carry a heavy burden in the homes in order to support them financially while men keep
their money and are not obligated to the family.
Thankfully, strides are being made to equalize this perception of inequality. Human Resources
Managements are seeing to it that a lot more women hold high ranking positions in large and small
organizations. More women are holding managerial positions in banks, government, and multinational
companies.
Even though they have had a female president, involvement in politics is not considered women’s
business, and many women still hold to the tradition that a woman cannot take a higher position than her
husband. Part of this mindset is due to the effect of colonization on Filipino women.
Like women in many parts of the world, Filipino women have had to fight for their proper place in
their society. They have worked hard to extend themselves beyond the confines of their homes and show
that they have the strength and power to control business and politics.
28. In order to have equality in every sector in society, women have to _________.
A. vote a female president
B. fight for their proper place
C. work hard in the family
D. control business and politics
29. The inequality at home is that _________.
A. women serve as the head of the family
B. women earn money to support themselves
C. men earn more support the family and keep the money
D. both women and men work but men keep the money
30. Women don’t enjoy equality at work because _________.
A. they are paid less for the same jobs as men
B. they are always hired for lower positions
C. they don’t have enough qualifications
D. they carry a heavy burden in the homes

A. hold the position of a President

For formal ceremonies, men would have two additional items, a long gown with slits on either side,
and a turban, usually in black or brown made of cotton or silk. In feudal times, there were strict dress
codes. Ordinary people were not allowed to wear clothes with dyes rather than black, brown or white.
Costumes in yellow were reserved for the King. Those in purple and red were reserved for high ranking
court officials, while dresses in blue were exclusively worn by petty court officials. Men’s dress has
gradually changed along with social development.
The traditional set of a long gown and turban gave way to modern-looking suits, while business
shirts and trousers have replaced traditional long sleeved shirts and wide trousers. Traditional costumes
still exist and efforts are increasingly being made to restore traditional festivals and entertainment which
incorporate traditional costumes.
For women, the outer garment is a special silk gown called an “ao tu than” which is brown or light
brown in colour with four slits divided equally on its lower section. The second layer is a pink gown.
When a woman wears her three gowns, she fastens the buttons on the side, and leave those on the chest
unfastened so that it forms a shaped collar. This allows her to show the different colors on the upper part
of the three gowns. Today, on formal occasions women wear “ao dai”.

THE VANISHING INVENTION
In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how
to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on
just half a litre of water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into
hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at
atmospheric temperature. This impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down
water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap and found all
around the planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is
no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the Internet, apart from a list of similar inventions
which have also vanished. An inventor from the Philippines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-
fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this technology were to become
widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet from
the impending environmental catastrophes.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES
A number of different energy sources are used every day. Burning of fossil fuel is a main energy
source. Sources other than this fossil fuel are known as alternative energy sources and there are several
of them being used every day.
First of all is water. Water energy can be harnessed to perform work by using waterwheels. In a
hydroelectric plant the running or falling water spins a generator to create electricity.
Not only does water spin a wheel, but wind can do so as well. Windmills work in the same manner as
a waterwheel. Windmills are used as wind turbines that can generate electricity.
The internal heat of the earth is another energy source. It is called geothermal energy. Geothermal
energy can be used to heat homes and produce electricity.
Solar energy is often thought to be sunlight. Sunlight is full of energy. People are finding new ways
to harness the power of sunlight. One major way is to trap or concentrate sunlight with the use of solar
panels. This trapped sunlight can be used to heat homes and water. Also solar cells are devices that
convert sunlight into electric energy.
28. Which of the following is a device that converts sunlight into electric energy?
A. Solar cells B. Solar panels C. Converters D. Hydro panels
29. Which of the following is a tool used to trap or concentrate sunlight to be used for energy?
A. Solar cells B. Solar panels C. Solar devices D. Solar censors
30. Which of the following is NOT an alternative source of energy?
A. Water B. Wind C. Sun D. Plants
31. Sources of energy other than fossil fuel are called which of the following?
A. Alternative sources of energy B. Geothermal energy

In comparison with other developing countries, Vietnam’s population enjoys a relatively high
standard of education. In the past, Vietnam’s educational system was affected by many cultures, of
which the Chinese and French had most significant influence.
The Imperial Academy – the first university in Vietnam – was built in 1076 under Emperor Ly Nhan
Tong for the education of sons of royalty and other high ranking officials. In 1252, the college was
opened to students from various backgrounds.
Before the French came, the old-type Mandarin system administered Vietnam for approximately
2,000 years. As the French took over the government’s administration, it was converted from a
Confucian system into a Western-oriented one.
In order to participate in the service under the French rule, the Vietnamese had to convert to the

it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the

the country, they miss real life.

of the questions.
Located in the limestone mountains of Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, Son Doong Caves was
first found in 1991 by Ho Khanh, a local man. In 2009, the cave was explored and published by a group
of scientists from British Cave Research Association.
Son Doong Cave was formed from 2 to 5 million years ago, when the river flowed through the
limestone mountain area and was buried. The water eroded limestone and created an underground
tunnel. In soft limestone areas, the collapse of tunnel ceiling formed large holes which became giant
domes afterward. The cave is about 200m high, 200m wide and at least 8.5km long. Especially, Son
Doong consists of two entrances, which is unique among explored caves in Phong Nha – Ke Bang
National Park. Exploring the cave, visitors were surprised with spectacular scenery of numerous
stalactites of which some giant stalagmites are more than 70 metres high. Deep inside the cave exists a
grandiose tropical jungle called “Garden of Eden” by the explorers. The jungle is home to diversified
system of fauna and flora. Besides, the cave possesses a 2.5-kilometre underground river. Not far from
the “Garden of Eden” lies an enormous “pearl collection” consisting of tens of thousands of small stone
pieces in dry ponds, contributing to magnificent beauty of the cave.

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster.
According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally,
the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations
can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a
sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of
their child.
Michael is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and
arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for
violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large

Dear Angela,

make-up from a high street chemist’s. This happened because she had been dared by some older children

shop assistant. The police were called and she was given a tell-off at the police station.
Since this terrifying experience, she has been too afraid to go out on her own and cries all the time. My
husband doesn’t seem to care that much. He says that she shouldn’t have stolen in the first place and was

Family life is changing. Two-parent households are on the decline in the United States as divorce,
remarriage and cohabitation are on the rise. And families are smaller now, both due to the growth of single-
parent households and the drop in fertility. Not only are Americans having fewer children, but the
circumstances surrounding parenthood have changed. While in the early 1960s babies typically arrived
within a marriage, today fully four-in-ten births occur to women who are single or living with a non-marital
partner. At the same time that family structures have transformed, so has the role of mothers in the
workplace – and in the home. As more moms have entered the labor force, more have become breadwinners
– in many cases, primary breadwinners – in their families.
As a result of these changes, there is no longer one dominant family form in the US. Parents today are
raising their children agianst a backdrop of increasingly diverse and, for many, constantly evolving family
forms.
28. Which of the following trends is true in the United States?
A. The rate of divorce is increasing B. More women become housewives
C. Nuclear family becomes the dominant family form D. family structures remain unchanged
29. Why has the size of families in the US reduced?
A. There are more families with one parent and fewer babies born each year.
B. There are more extended families and less medical care
C. There are more people living abroad
D. More teenagers decide to live independently of their parents.
30. Who are breadwinners in the US?
A. Only men. B. Only women
C. Either men or women . D. Either women or children

A. Similar. B. Changing
C. Chaotic D. remaining the same.
32. Which of the followinf statements is not true?
A. The number of families with both parents is reducing
B. More women can earn money
C. More women have had their own jobs
D. In 1961, most babies were born by single mothers

Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of Hawaii, the fiftieth state of

the US mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii became an island with traditions from several
countries. People from the various nation groups have married each other, so today the groups are partly

Mercury is the smallest member of the sun's family. It is only 3.100 miles across. It is also the
sun's swiftest planet. Its yearly journey round the sun is only 85 days. Mercury always keeps one side
towards the sun. On this side it is always day, on the other side always night. We only see the lighted side.

evening star. Mercury is half the size of the earth. Because it is much lighter, it has much less gravity. If you

If your weight on earth is 100 pounds, your weight on Mercury is only 27 pounds. Looking at the sun from
Mercury, you can see that it's much more brilliant than it is seen from the earth. And the yellow centre of the
sun appears three times bigger from Mercury. On its lighted side, Mercury's temperature is about 300
degrees centigrate. But the dark side is extremely cold, but 150 degrees below zero so mercury is probably

Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indians entered North America
by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. The migrants entered a new
world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests
where nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.
When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, bake
fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return, the white introduced horses, guns, gunpowder, and alcohol.
But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only one result – war. When the wars
were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now, some of them, embittered
by mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to modernize the reservations. These
alternatives, with many variations, are what most Indians have chosen – a future in modern technology and
education, or the revival of ancient tradition and treaties.

Changes in care giving roles
With the burden of financial support reduced, and with a changing concept of a father’s role, modern
day fathers tend to be more involved in children’s care giving. They are now spending more time and energy
on their children. Psychological research across families from all ethnic backgrounds suggests that the
influence of a father’s love and attention is as great as that of a mother’s. Fatherly love helps children
develop a sense of their place in the world, which helps their social and emotional development. Moreover,
children who receive more love from their fathers are less likely to have behavioural problems.
This trend is still increasing and its effects will become clearer and clearer in the future, especially in
traditionally male-dominated societies.

A. financial supporter B. teacher of moral values C. religious educator D. caregiver

the Government of the country that Columbus himself discovered threw him into prison.
He was sent back to Spain as a prisoner. But Columbus succeeded in proving that the lies his

In the past, getting recipes and cooking tips was a complicated process. A person had to go to the
store and buy a cook book, or get recipes from friends. Fortunately, the internet has changed all that. Now, if

Cooking blogs are a great source of information because they are free and there are so many of them.

of recipes, divided into categories. You will be amazed at how many there are.
Wednesday Chef is another great cooking blog. It is run by a writer who lives in Berlin. This blog also
offers many recipes, along with recommendations for great restaurants in Berlin, and advice for people who
want to start their own blogs. Wednesday Chef has great pictures of its food, as well as interesting pictures
of Berlin. The blog got its name because in the past, newspapers published their food articles on
Wednesdays.
There are a lot of cooking blogs on the internet, and most of them are pretty good. Go online and check
some of them out. You might be surprised at how much they can help you improve your cooking.
28. How did Wednesday Chef get its name?

Many of the jobs require little or no experience such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in
the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people or unlikely to have, such as
being certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn’t discourage you, though, there is
always something to be found if you search hard enough.

the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket
you were looking for.

C. On the radio D. In travel guidebooks
29. What can seem out of reach for young people?
A. Being able to get time off from school.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
Have you ever noticed advertisements which says “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your
money back. From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it
never happens quite like that. One’s mother language is easier to learn, but it also requires a lot of practice
to be fluent. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War, people usually learned
a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.
Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start
learning one. How they do it? Some people try it at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio
or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the
language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A
few people try to learn a the language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn
the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is
not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors
chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned
quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students’
work for him.
28. According to some advertisements, you______.
A. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.
B. needn’t pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.
C. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.
D. will be paid much money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks.
29. Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to________.
A. read the literature of the country B. read books and reports
C. do their work better D. go to foreign countries
30. The best way to learn a foreign language is________.
A. to go to the country where the language is spoken
B. to use machines and good books
C. to go to evening classes
257
D. to do as the advertisments tell you to
31. Learning a foreign language is a hard job______.
A. only for scientists and doctors B. only for the students at schools
C. for those people at home D. for most people

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each

Human have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part of a
person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey animals.
Therefore, it was no wonder that when our ancuent ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs wiggling on
the ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that people
snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs and assorted worms. They are often deep-fried and
salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past the fact that
you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!
For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see insects as
invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to ear. Therefore, being able to eat
insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or stinky tofu because
they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category, making it difficult to
even try them.
If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get over
the ‘yuck’ factor.
28. Which is the reason given for gathering and eating insects?
A. they are very easy to find close to the home.
B. They are more nutritious than most vegetables.
C. They come in all shapes and sizes.

261
29. Why are deep-fried insects considered a perfect snack food?
A. Because they taste exactly like corn chips.
B. Because they don’t like fill you up.
C. Because they have a crunchy texture.
D. Because they are not expensive.
30. Which insects are not mentioned in the passage?
A. water bugs B. grasshoppers
C. beetles D. crickets
31. Where are insects a regular part of the street food?
A. France B. Thailand C. Britain D. All of the above.
32. What advice is given in the passage?
A. Be courageous B. Eat very cautiously
C. Try eating worms first D. Always cook your insects

My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an exercise bike.
Typically, people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them. There are
effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much
easier to go for a gentle jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You
don’t need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach. The
main thing is that they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the
summer. There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money on,
and that’s your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for
something that will support your feet and protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if they
are good quality they will last you a long time. It’s always best to get expert advice, and the best place
for that is a sports shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do much at the beginning –
especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for
ten minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to
increase the amount you do gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to run at
resonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week. It’s important that you feel comfortable
with whatever you do. If you do, you’ll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes
you feel uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any
case, training too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercise for twice
as long as or twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice as fit.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
In the 1960s it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs. Nowadays, it can
take months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, for example, the
voice. Then they record other instruments- electric piano, synthesizer, guitars, drums and so on.
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments until
they get the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette wil always sound very different
from a live concert.
Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of music.
A computer can analyse a singer’s voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music of a song,
the computer can ‘sing’ it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to record one song and the
computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice. Singers can sing new songs many years
after they have died.
Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the same
as soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or “band”), they first try to develop the
band’s ‘profile’. They will try to create an ‘image’ for the band that they think will attract young
people. Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the band what they
should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play.
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say that the
big companies are too commercial.
28. Today, to record songs, it takes ________.
A. Longer than it used to do
B. Shorter than it used to do
C. Only one or two days
D. The same amount of time as the 1960s
29. Today’s record procedure results in __________.
A. Different sounds of recorded songs and live- performed songs.
B. The mixture between CDs and live concert.

C. Some special effects on songs.

30. Which of the following is NOT true about the new computer programme?
A. It is predicted to change the music future.
B. It can imitate singers’ voice
C. It can sing only one recorded song of the singer.

A. Suggest the outfits of the band
B. Tell the band what to say
C. Give the band freedom to do things
D. Decide the songs the band will play

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value the love and
worth of a friend when he has been taken from us by death more than when he was with us in the flesh; it is
only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our opportunity of education,
which has gone forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good health. When we are
young and strong, we cannot imagine what it is like to be weak and ill. We are so used to vigorous health
that we take it for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we scaredly know we have lungs
281
and liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives us pain and sickness, we learn by
bitter experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes us miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples our efforts so
that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done. It spoils our life. What
must we do to keep our health.
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple food.
Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when young, get plenty of
sleep, which is “nature’s sweet restorer”, and not try to burn the candle at both ends. We must live as much
as possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated. We must get sufficient and regular physical
exercise, and keep our bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and
keep our thoughts clean and our bodies pur. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the sound body.
28. According to the passage, we often appreciate our friends ______________.
A. only when they are with us.
B. only when they are good to us.
C. only when they passed away.
D. only when they live a long way from us.

A. we are always in good health.
B. most of the diseases can be cured nowadays.

C. a shame to our friends D. fail to become famous

Life in the big city is face-paced, fun and exciting. There are countless job opportunities and activities

opportunities; there are also more people competing for a single job. This can make your job search
frustrating. Oddly enough, you will see hundreds, if not thousands of jobs available each week, but you
still might remain unemployed, especially when the economy is down. In addition, the cost of living is
typically higher in big cities, and it can cost you an arm and a leg for a small apartment in a decent
area of the city, not to mention other costs to fulfill your basic demands. Diversity is a good thing, but
the amount of people can be a bit overwhelming if you are not accustom to it. There will always be
crowds and always be people around. Moreover, Traffic can be a nightmare in the big city. It can get so
bad that it can turn you in to an evil person. If you hate driving in traffic, than the big city life is not for
you. Heavy traffic also contributes to the pollution, which is one of the biggest disadvantages of living
in the city. Obviously, our health is affected most with certain diseases relating to respiratory system
and other body part. A lot of premature deaths are supposed to be the result of long-term exposure to
289

Education system of Vietnam in the past
Because of 1,000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated a formal
education system in Vietnam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders and declared
Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh, did not last so long, and were busy
with the national defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, the founder king of the
Lydynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly Thanh Tong
established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage people to appreciate
the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Tong to select scholars for
office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Vietnam’s history, was set up
for the education of sons of royalty and other high – ranking officials.
There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy Don,
Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan... The students would only study literature and
ancient history of China, of Viet Nam for entirety of their schooling. Later on, the Public Administration
curriculum was finally added to the program. When the Ho Royal family ruled the country, students were
taught simple mathematics.
From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam’s education programme has adopted the western educational system with
three levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese National
language is officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history, philosophy, law,
science, math, medicine and as well as other languages.

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

A. it has the origin from Kim Son, Ninh Binh
B. it has had the reputation for more than 50 years

29. We can infer from the sentence “Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice” that ______________.
A. both depend on weather conditions
B. both occur on the same land
C. both bring similar incom
D. both occur at the same time
30. Despite difficulties, people in Long Dinh try to follow the craft because ______________.
A. they can have jobs in the rainy months
B. they can go to Korea, Japan and America
C. they can make the techniques of weaving different
D. they can earn more money than growing rice
31. In order to meet market demands, artisans in Long Dinh ______________.
A. produce new Producs from rare material
B. for thousands of local labourers
C. try to produce various types of Products
D. stop producing the traditional sedge mats

Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as gesture
of good will. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had a more practical purpose.
Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he would
often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend
himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling around each other, weapons in hand, until it
was mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside. Then, the two parties extended their right
hands to show they had no weapons, and clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake.
The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the Orient, people have, for centuries, clasped
their own hands in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no weapons. In France, a custom
developed in which people who met would kiss each other on both cheeks. The natives of some South-
sea islands greet by rubbing noses.

You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the
assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask s about
what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to
remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework assignment
should take to complete so you can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have
libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you
can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you
have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have
between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote more
time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn
for help is your teacher. But what if you don't feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough
school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you
may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain something in a different way. Moreover,
you might also be able to get some help from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good
student, think about asking that person if you can study together.
28. The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment may be__________.
A. to know when you hand it in B. to understand it and its requirements
C. to know how long it takes to complete it D. to remember it in order to plan the time
29. If you have any free time left at school, you should__________.
A. use it to do your homework in the library B. spend time with your friends
347
C. use it to understand the assignment D. use it to make your day planner
30. When students need some help, they should__________.
A. never ask other teachers for help
B. always turn to their own teachers for help
C. ask any good students at the subject in your school
D. go to their teachers or other teachers teaching the same subject

31. The main idea of the first three paragraphs is__________.


A. to get help when you need it
B. to do homework immediately

Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might give
us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by Utrecht University. What
is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember is wrong.
Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going to the
doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more likely to
focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with as but have no idea
what to do about it.
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any important
information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your consultation. This way, you
can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it. If you believe the situation is serious
or you’re really worried, seek the help of a family member. Just ask them to accompany you to listen in.
This way you can be absolutely sure about what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap
that most people do.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage
have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast
pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of
animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are
being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even
though laws have been made, the government do not have the power to enforce them. Most industries
simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the
dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a
few miles off shore.

Like most countries in the world, there are two types of schools in England, independent schools
(fee-paying schools) and state schools in which students do not have to pay tuition fees. In both types,
attendance is compulsory. Morning classes begin at nine o dock and last until half past four in the afternoon.
After classes, most English children often stay at school and take part in extracurricular activities like sports,
singing and dancing. Schools are open five days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays there are no lessons.
There are holidays at Christmas, Easter and in summer. In London as in all cities there are two grades of
schools for those who will go to work at fifteen: primary schools for boys and girls between the ages of five
and eleven, and secondary schools for children from eleven to fifteen.
Besides such compulsory lessons as reading, writing, the English language, English literature,
English history, geography, science, and nature study, children in England can take many optional subjects
like drawing, painting, singing, or woodwork to develop their aptitudes.

Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North an America. These forms go
around like a wheel turning to the left when they ni northern part of the world. They have wind speeds of 60
kph or more. In the United the Tropical Prediction Center in Miami, Florida keeps an eye out for hurricanes.
When meteorologists detect a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use ei male or female name.
Why should tropical cyclones have names? The name makes it easy for people to keep up with information
about a hurricane and its possible dangers.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group. decides what names will
be used. The WMO makes lists of names using the English alphabet. Each name on the list starts with a
different letter. The first hurricane of the year gets the first name on that year's list. The second hurricane
gets the next name. For examples if the first hurricane is named Abel, the second might be named Betty. The
name lists do include names beginning with the letters Q, U, X. Y and Z. There aren't many names that
begin with these letters.
Asian countries use a different list, which is made up by the WMO's Typhoon Committee. This list
has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals, trees, and other similar things.

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

One of the most devastating forces on Earth is a hurricane. A hurricane begins as a tropical storm.
The storm winds blow in circles around a center, called the "eye." Gradually, the winds get stronger and
stronger. A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when the winds are 120 kilometers per hour or more.
The word "hurricane" comes from Huracan, an evil god of a Central American Indian tribe. In other
parts of the world, hurricanes are known by different names. In East Asia, they are usually called typhoons,
from the Chinese tai-feng, meaning "great wind." In Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Australia, they are
known as cyclones. Finally, in the Philippines, they are called baguios.
Few things in nature have as much power as hurricanes. They can destroy coastal areas with heavy rains and
winds of 250 kilometers per hour or more. Sometimes a hurricane causes the ocean to flood onto land in an

The Beatles

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

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5000
years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper,
however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and
additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may add weight and
texture.
Where do these fibers come from ? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes
from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from
things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into
recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water pollution.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music
may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are
able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a
positive effect will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person
angrier, yet it is not the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The
angry person does not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and
makes that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body,
mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and
Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science
that concerned them. Because the musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created
music that was positive, uplifting, and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next
step is to gain a better understanding of the music around us, and what effect it is actually having.
28. The text is about_____.
A. The science of music B. Understanding music
C. The effects of music on human feelings D. Music and an angry person
29. Music_____.
A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way
C. affects us in different ways D. never make us angry
30. According to the text,_____.
A. Everybody likes jazz
B. Jazz always makes us feel better
C. No one likes jazz
D. a very angry person sometimes do not accept music
31. In ancient cultures, there used to be a science that concerned the effects of music in_____.
A. China B. India C. Turkey D. Greece
32. The word "Once" has a close meaning to_____.
A. on time B. when C. because D. if

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

A. The science of music B. Music and an angry person
C. Understanding music D. The effects of music on human feelings
29. Music__________.
A. cannot be chosen B. affects us in different ways
C. affects everybody in the same way D. never makes us angry
30. According to the text, __________.
A. Everybody likes jazz B. a very angry person sometimes do not accept music
C. No one likes jazz D. Jazz always makes us feel better

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as the bees
have made their way from South America. Killer bees are reputed to be extremely aggressive in nature,
although experts that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated.

The killer bee is a combination of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the considerably
more aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain was imported into Brazil in 1955.
The African bees were brought into Brazil because their aggression was considered an advantage: they were
far more productive than their European counterparts in that they spent a higher percentage of their time
working and continued working longer in inclement weather than did the European bees.
These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities have occurred.
Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually not at all as aggressive
as the pure African bee. They also point out that the attacks have a chemical cause. A killer bee stings only
when it has been disturbed; it is not aggressive by nature. However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies
away; it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim. In the vicera attached to the embedded stinger is the
chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts other bees. As other bees approach the victim of
the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing them to sting. The new
stings create more of the chemical isoamyl acetate which attracts more bees and increases the panic level of
the victim. Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the
production of isoamyl acetate.

28. The subject of the paragraph before paragraph 1 was mostly likely_________.
A. the creation of the killer bee B. the chemical nature of killer bees attacks
C. stories in the media about killer bees D. ways of producing honey
29. The word "inflated" in paragraph 1 means_________.
A. aired B. exaggerated C. blown D. burst
30. The word 'their' in paragraph 2 refers to_________.
A. the European bees' B. the African bees'
C. the killer bees' D. the honey bees'
455
31. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage as a contributing factor in an attack by killer bees?
A. Panic by the victims B. The odor of isoamyl acetate
C. Disturbance of the bees D. Inclement weather
32. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of killer bees?
A. attack humans and animals
B. are aggressive by nature
C. travel in large clusters
D. are a combination of European honeybee and African bee

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each

Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part
of a person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey
animals. Therefore, it is no wonder that when our ancient ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs
wiggling on the ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that
people snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms. They are often deep-
fried and salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past
the fact that you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!
For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see
insects as invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to ear. Therefore,
being able to eat insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or
stinky tofu because they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category,
making it difficult to even try them.
If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get
over the “yuck” factor.
28. Which is the reason given for gathering and eating insects?
A. They are very easy to find close to the home.
B. They are more nutritious than most vegetables.
C. They come in all shapes and sizes.
D. They are easier to catch than other prey animals.
29. Why are deep-fried insects considered a perfect snack food?
A. Because they taste exactly like corn chips.
B. Because they don’t fill you up.
C. Because they have a crunchy texture.
D. Because they are not expensive.
30. Which insects are not mentioned in the passage?
A. water bugs B. grasshoppers C. beetles D. crickets
31. Where are insects a regular part of the street food?
A. France B. Thailand C. Britain D. All of the above

32. What advice is given in the passage?


A. Be courageous B. Eat very cautiously
C. Try eating worms first D. Always cook your insects

My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an exercise bike.
Typically, people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them. They are
effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier
to go for a gentle jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You
don’t need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach. The
main thing is that they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the
summer. There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and
that’s your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for something that
will support your feet and protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if they are good quality
they will last you a long time. It’s always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports
shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do too much at the beginning –
especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten
minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase
the amount you do gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to run at a reasonable speed
for twenty minutes three or four times a week. It’s important that you feel comfortable with whatever
you do. If you do, you’ll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel
uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any case, training
too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercise for twice as long or
twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice as fit.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs. Nowadays, it can
take months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, for example, the
voice. Then they record other instruments- electric piano, synthesizer, guitars, drums and so on.
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments until
they get the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette will always sound very different
from a live concert.
Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of music. A
computer can analyse a singer’s voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music of a song, the
computer can ‘sing’ it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to record one song and the
computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice. Singers can sing new songs many years
after they have died.
Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the same as
soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or ‘band’), they first try to develop the band’s
‘profile’. They will try to create an ‘image’ for the band that they think will attract young people.
Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the band what they should wear,
what they should say and how they should sing and play.
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say that the
big companies are too commercial.

WORLD BBQ

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH IN TODAY’S WORLD
English was originally the language of England, and soon it has become the primary or secondary
language of many former British colonies such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and India.
Nowadays, it is the most international language in the world. There are several factors that make the
English language essential to communication in our current time.
First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people who come from
different countries (for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use English as a common language to
communicate. English is also essential to the field of education. In many countries, children are taught
and encouraged to learn English as a second language. At the university level, students in many
countries study almost all their subjects in English in order to make the material more accessible to
international students. On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and created in English. Even
sites in other languages often give you the option to translate the site. It is the primary language of the
press: more newspapers and books are written in English than in any other language, and no matter
where in the world you are, you will find some of these books and newspapers available.
Although many people think that it is very difficult and confusing, English is actually the easiest
language of the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as you decide you
want to learn, there are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores. With good
understanding and communication in English, you can travel around the globe. Because it is the
international language for foreigners, it is easy to get assistance and help in every part of the world. You
can test it by online travel. Any travel booking site you can find will have English as a booking option.
28. When two people having different mother tongues meet each other, they will use _______.
A. their own mother tongues to communicate
B. English as a means of communication

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value the love and
worth of a friend when he has been taken from us by death more than when he was with us in the flesh;
it is only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our opportunity of
education, which has gone forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good health.
When we are young and strong, we cannot imagine what it is like to be weak and ill. We are so used to
vigorous health that we take it for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we scarcely
know we have lungs and liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives us pain
and sickness, we learn by bitter experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes us miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples our efforts
so that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done. It spoils our life.
What must we do to keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple food.
Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when young, get plenty of
sleep, which is “nature’s sweet restorer”, and not try to burn the candle at both ends. We must live as
much as possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated. We must get sufficient and regular
physical exercise, and keep our bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid
the devil, and keep our thoughts clean and our bodies pure. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the
sound body.
28. According to the passage, we often appreciate our friends _________.
A. only when they are with us
B. only when they are good to us.
C. only when they passed away
D. only when they live a long way from us.
29. We do not take care of our health because _________.
A. we are always in good health
B. most of the diseases can be cured nowadays
C. we are so accustomed to good health
D. we are so busy making a living
30. Poor health makes us _________.
483
A. useless B. unable to fulfill our expectations
C. a shame to our friends D. fail to become famous
31. According to the author, having plenty of sleep when we are young _________.
A. is wasting our time B. can help us regain our strength

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the s.
All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of the
most popular is undoubtedly sausage.
To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various animal
parts. Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn’t be served in their
original forms can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other less
appetizing areas of an animal’s body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a certain
percentage of fat, along with spices and other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat mixture is then
stuffed into the cleaned intestines of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends. The result is
sausage.
The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far the
favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy. When
sausages are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour. While boiling is probably the
simplest method, smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavour.
Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it became the
tasty thing you are eating. After all, you don’t want to ruin a good snack.
28. What are by far the favourite meats for making sausages?
A. Chicken B. Horse meat C. Cuts of lamb D. Beef and pork
29. What is the simplest method of cooking sausages?
A. Grilling B. Smoking C. Boiling D. Baking
30. What won’t be served in their original forms?
A. Certain cuts and parts of animals B. Spices and fillers
C. Sausages of all types D. Intestines of an animal
31. What advice is given in the passage?
A. Be careful when making sausages.
B. Don’t think too much about what you are eating when eating sausages.
C. Try not to use too much fat in the meat mixture when making sausages.
D. Make sure intestines are cleaned before packing with meat.

32. Where is the mixture of meat placed?


A. Inside a plastic package B. Inside a cleaned intestine
C. Inside a refrigerator D. Inside a metal container
