Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive location are increasingly
popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is
up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local
entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing - you name it - it's all laid on for you. There is, in
fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time,
but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less
likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of course, there are
carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will
probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be
up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the
historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of
being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, may not
like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that
for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although
for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch
the world go by.
28. When you go on a package holiday, you don't have to________.
A. arrange anything yourself B. pay for any extra activities
C. follow the tour schedules D. travel in an organised group
29. People going on package holidays________.
A. are unable to amuse themselves
B. expect to be amused by tour operators
C. find most of their interests catered for
D. are able to make friends with lots of local people
30. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. You are constantly on the move when you are on a coach tour.
B. A coach tour is always exhausting.
C. You don't get enough sleep on a coach tour.
D. You get no chance to visit historic buildings in famous cities on a coach tour.
31. “Time is always at your elbow.” This means________.
A. you can take your time visiting a place
B. you have to spend a lot of time visiting a place
C. your time is always limited when visiting a place
D. there is always no time for you to visit any place

A good deal of fascinating research has been done into the reading patterns of young
people, and it's surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences
for particular kinds of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habit of
primary school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about
what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred
reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else
books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read
more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities
for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by
their late teens, girls have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys
tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: sports, motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

A good deal of fascinating research has been done into the reading patterns of young
people, and it's surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences
for particular kinds of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habit of
primary school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about
what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred
reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else
books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read
more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities
for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by
their late teens, girls have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys
tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: sports, motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

The world above the forest floor can be observed by all of US. Rarely, however, do we
take the time to notice the teeming life and bustling activity that occurs beneath the ground we
walk on.
Of all soil-dwelling creatures, the most abundant are mites and springtails, insect-like
creatures that literally eat their way through caverns of subterranean vegetation. The tiny, eight-
legged mites lay their eggs on plant matter, which their larvae eat and convert into fresh soil. The
bright-colored springtails are named for their ability to leap long distances during their search for
decomposed plant matter to eat.
Both mites and springtails are prey to a host of soil-dwelling predators. They thus anchor
one end of the food chain that extends to higher forms of forest "lowlife", such as moles that feed
on earthworms and shrews that eat beetles.
Those mammals, in turn, dig tunnels that function as underground byways for other
subterranean species. Hibernating chipmunks, turtles, and salamanders sift and mix the soil when
they burrow to winter dens. Cottontails and gray foxes excavate shallow dens as sanctuary from
predators and harsh weather, while gray squirrels, hiding acorns for the lean season, further
blend the earth. From microbe to people, thousands of species work the land upon which all life
depends.

People invent things to enhance their lives. Today, inventions are mostly improvements
of previous inventions. With technology, inventions are taking a shorter and shorter time to
complete.
One such invention is the camera. The time taken to invent the camera in the sixteenth
century was prolonged due to the lack of technology and scientific knowledge. When inventors
first tried to take a photograph in 1558, the image could not stay on the paper permanently. It
was only in 1837 that inventors managed to produce pictures that did not fade away.
With the invention of the camera, further improvements were made and the first
underwater camera was invented in 1856. It was placed in a tightly sealed container. However,
when the contraption was underwater, the container broke before many pictures were taken. It
was only in the 1980s that a camera was made to be able to go deep underwater without being
damaged. Less than twenty years later, technology allowed underwater cameras to take
photographs in color and to go even deeper into the water. The cameras even looked like a fish.
With better technology, an invention will never stay stagnant. People will be relentless in
their efforts at making improvements to an invention.

Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia that is available on the Internet and what
people love about it is that it can be edited by absolutely everybody.
When and how did it start? It was founded in 2001 by a guy called Jimmy Wales.
It started as a fancy idea, a kind of hobby and everybody is surprised how popular
it has become and how many computer scientists it has attracted. It has got a
collection of about 1.8 m articles, the majority of which are in English; however,
one can find some articles in over 200 languages. If it was a business, it would earn
lots of money.
How is it possible that articles that can be changed by anyone are correct?
The Wikipedia is based on wikis - a special software which lets everyone modify a
webpage and it is true that anyone can change the information on the page if they
think it's incorrect. But, the Wikipedia has a team of over 13,000 people who are
experts in different fields and who correct any inaccurate information sent by
people.
Is it error-free? One may say so. Recently, for example, the British journal
Nature looked at the scientific information in Wikipedia and confirmed it was
very reliable and that they didn't find many errors. It was very good news for the
founder as well as for all the users.
Why is it becoming so popular? Like the whole idea of the Internet, it's also quick
and available to everyone. The greatest thing of all is that it is free. Some people
also stress that it's fun to be able to add what you know to the information on the
net. IT specialists believe it has a very bright future and most claim it's the most
brilliant invention ever.

Desert tundra, or cold desert, occurs on the Arctic edges of North America, Europe, and
Asia. The word tundra comes from a Finnish word tunturia, which means barren land. In the
desert tundra, the temperatures are almost always freezing, and they cause an environment in
which plant life is virtually impossible. Plant life is made impossible by two different extreme
conditions, either a lack or an overabundance of water.
During at least three quarters of the year, the Arctic is frozen. The Arctic is far from the
equator. This means the sunlight reaching the soil contains less energy than at the equator. The
existence of ice rather than water for the majority of the year means that vegetation does not
have enough moisture for growth to take place.
During the period of time when the temperature increases enough for ice to melt, there is
generally a large volume of water. Too much water and not enough drainage through the frozen
subsoil make it difficult for plants to grow. Despite this, about 1,700 kinds of plants grow on
tundra, including reindeer mosses, liverworts, and grasses. The 400 varieties of flowers found
add a wide range of colors.

A. throughout North America, Europe, and Asia
B. in Antarctica
C. on the Arctic borders of the northern continents
D. at the North Pole
30. According to the passage, what makes plant life almost impossible in areas of desert tundra
during most of the year?
A. Excessive water on the plants B. A lack or an overabundance of water
C. The increase in temperature D. The lack of ice
31. Which of following does NOT happen when the weather heats up?
A. Plants and trees grow well. B. The ice melts.
C. There is not enough drainage. D. There is too much water.
32. According to the passage, why is it impossible for the water to drain after it melts?
A. The land beneath the surface is still frozen.
B. The temperature is too high.
C. The period of time is too short.
D. The vegetation is flourishing.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer
Desert tundra, or cold desert, occurs on the Arctic edges of North America, Europe, and
Asia. The word tundra comes from a Finnish word tunturia, which means barren land. In the
desert tundra, the temperatures are almost always freezing, and they cause an environment in
which plant life is virtually impossible. Plant life is made impossible by two different extreme
conditions, either a lack or an overabundance of water.
During at least three quarters of the year, the Arctic is frozen. The Arctic is far from the
equator. This means the sunlight reaching the soil contains less energy than at the equator. The
existence of ice rather than water for the majority of the year means that vegetation does not
have enough moisture for growth to take place.
During the period of time when the temperature increases enough for ice to melt, there is
generally a large volume of water. Too much water and not enough drainage through the frozen
subsoil make it difficult for plants to grow. Despite this, about 1,700 kinds of plants grow on
tundra, including reindeer mosses, liverworts, and grasses. The 400 varieties of flowers found
add a wide range of colors.

29. According to the passage, desert tundra is found______.
A. throughout North America, Europe, and Asia B. in Antarctica
C. on the Arctic borders of the northern continents D. at the North Pole
30. According to the passage, what makes plant life almost impossible in areas of desert tundra
during most of the year?
A. Excessive water on the plants B. A lack or an overabundance of water
C. The increase in temperature D. The lack of ice
31. Which of following does NOT happen when the weather heats up?
A. Plants and trees grow well. B. The ice melts.
C. There is not enough drainage. D. There is too much water.
32. According to the passage, why is it impossible for the water to drain after it melts?
A. The land beneath the surface is still frozen.
B. The temperature is too high.
C. The period of time is too short.
D. The vegetation is flourishing.

Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the
sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets
through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our
environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but
enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the
atmosphere, they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft,
if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is
called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than
0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it
is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage - a person may feel perfectly well, but
the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth
of deformed children or even grandchildren.
Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation, and during the
outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no
dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite
short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and
months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might
help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so
far.
28. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that_______.
A. it protects him against the harmful rays from space
B. it provides sufficient light for plant growth
C. it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D. it screens off the falling meteors
29. We know from the passage that_______.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged

English. Two - thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main
language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers -

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.

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

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

Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos.
Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from 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 mixed.
Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They celebrate traditional
Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino holidays as well as holidays from The United states. Hawaii is
known as the Aloha State. “Aloha” mean “hello”, “goodbye”, and “I love you” in Hawaiian. /.

The Beatles
In the 1960s, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.
Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is
difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys
from the north of England and none of 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 them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their
clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when
they first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you
ask them.

Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served
the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many
parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers
of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.
Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply
many man's needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is
impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts
of minerals existing on the ocean floor are ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of
fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean
currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of
strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to
improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent US from exploiting
fully the food, minerals, and energy source of the sea will be largely solved.
29. The major things that the sea offers man are________.
A. fish and oil B. minerals and oil
C. food, energy sources, and minerals D. ocean currents and waves
30. We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. the sea resources have largely been used up.
B. the sea, in a broad sense, has not yet been developed.
C. the problems that prevent US from fully exploiting the sea have already been solved
D. by the year 2000, the technology will be good enough to exploit all these resources

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 to be weak and ailing. 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.

One of the biggest trends in television in recent years has been the rise of “Reality TV”.
These shows, in which ordinary people are placed in unusual situations and then filmed without a
script, have become some of the highest rating shows on television. Early programs of this genre,
including Big Brother (from the Netherlands) and Survivor (from the United States), have led to
dozens of copycat programs in many different countries. A common element to many of these
programs is that a number of contestants are placed in a closed environment in which they are
filmed 24 hours a day, and every week contestants are thrown off the show. What is it about
these shows that makes them so popular? Perhaps it is because viewers enjoy watching ordinary
people with real emotions being placed in extraordinary, situations. Or perhaps it is that people
are really voyeurs - they enjoy being a spy, looking secretly into other people’s lives.

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 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 as or twice as hard as another person doesn’t
automatically become twice as fit.

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 governments 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 sixteen
countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles offshore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water
in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and
sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect it. What should we do
to save this precious source?
29. What is the main idea of the reading text?

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in
teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use them
effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in
classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV
and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.

Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs
and maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly these schools
have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into their ongoing
instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its
usefulness in the classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to become good
readers. However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time reading
books and newspapers but watching television instead.

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

The Beatles
In the 1960s, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.
Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is
difficult now to imagine how sensational the Beatles were at that time. They were four boys
from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They started by
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 them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their
clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when
they first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you
ask them.

The Beatles
In the 1960s, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.Since
then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is difficult
now to imagine how sensational the Beatles were at that time.They were four boys from the
north of England and none of 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
them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as
souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first
came out.Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high- quality
protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart
diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily
cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn
has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative
is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like
eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they
can be scrambled or used in banking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for
frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes
called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of
ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, however, these hens
produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of
these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific
studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human
cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type of eggs that is the
main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more
sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that
certainly dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it
still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this
without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
28. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To make people how about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
D. To convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes.
29. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. Increasing price B. Decreased
production
C. Dietary changes in hens D. Concerns about cholesterol
30. What is meant by the phrase "mixed results"?
A. The results are blended B. The results are a

A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely
D. a lot

daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?

D. 1/3

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults.
They learned mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken
language. Eventually cultures around the world began inventing writing. As societies developed
they set up schools to teach reading, writing, maths and other subjects.
The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich and
powerful families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many cultures
the religious leaders formed the highest level of society. Some schools had other purposes as
well. Many schools focused on military training. Sometimes youths attended special schools to
learn the art of public speaking. These skills were meant to help them become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other
useful skills. Over time education became available to more people, not just the rich and
powerful. The governments of some countries set up public systems of education in the 1800s.
More schools opened to girls.
During the 1900s marks, or grades, became a new measure of learning. Testing became a
regular part of formal education. As education became more important to people, teachers'
colleges opened. The requirements for becoming a teacher became stricter. Teaching became a
highly respected profession.
28. In the earliest times, children learned mainly skills so that they could________.
A. continue to exist
B. pass this knowledge down
C. invent writing
D. make societies develop

In early days no medical college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell, however,
was determined to become a doctor. The young American wrote
again and again to a number of medical colleges, asking if she could be enrolled but each time
the answer was NO.
Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college in Geneva,
which said YES.
At first Geneva College, like the other colleges, was not willing to enroll Elizabeth. But
later the important people of that college learned that Elizabeth's application had the support of a
famous doctor, and they were afraid to offend that man.
So the dean decided to play a trick by turning the matter over to the student's general
meeting of the college, thinking that the students would be the last to agree to take Elizabeth.
When the boy students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Of the rest, some
considered the young American's idea interesting and some thought by having Elizabeth they
would be proud of their college training the world's first woman doctor. Very soon the students
all agreed to accept Elizabeth.
The dean of Geneva College was of course very sorry to learn this, but seeing that he
could do nothing to keep Elizabeth out, he gave in.

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

Recently, a study in the USA showed that 75% of high school students (23)___________
in tests and exams. If we include copying homework, the number is 90 %. Many students don’t
even realize that (24)__________ they’re doing is wrong. They think that cheating is OK now
because it’s common .

grades. There is more competition today.
One high school student says, “There’s big (25)_________ to get into a good university. You
have to get good marks, and to get good marks some teens think they have to cheat.”
In the American study, 50% of teens agreed with the opinion “ People sometimes have to lie
and cheat to be succeed.” It seems that cheating has become normal for some people. There are a
lot of cheats. We see more and more cheats in sport and in business. Unfortunately, adults don’t
always set a good example.
Cheating is easier with new technology. There are websites where you can download exams
and essays. You can pay people online to write an essay for you. Students are instant messaging
homework answers and they can send text messages to friends (26)__________ exams or put
answers into their MP3 players.
Teachers can (27)_________ cell phones and camera and use special software to detect

complete a minimum number of study hours per years; however, they may make up these hours
by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule. They can log on early or late in the
day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning
adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each
student studies online as well as that students’ learning materials and assessment activities.

learning activities and condition for each invidual student and generate similar activities. It can
also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the students’
needs.

Son Doong Cave has become more famous after the American Broadcasting Company
(ABC) aired a live programme featuring its magnificence on ‘Good Morning America’ in May
2015.
Located in Quang Binh Province, Son Doong Cave was discovered by a local man named Ho
Khanh in 1991, and became known internationally in 2009 thanks to British cavers, led by
Howard Limbert. The cave was formed about 2 to 5 million years ago by river water eroding
away the limestone underneath the mountain. It contains some of the tallest known stalagmites in
the world - up to 70 metres tall. The cave is more than 200 metres wide, 150 metres high, and
nearly 9 kilometres long, with caverns big enough to fit an entire street inside them. Son Doong
Cave is recognised as the largest cave in the world by BCRA (British Cave Research
Association) and selected as one of the most beautiful on earth by the BBC (British Broadcasting
Corporation).
In August 2013, the first tourist group explored the cave on a guided tour. Permits are now
required to access the cave and are made available on a limited basis. Only 500 permits were
issued for the 2015 season, which runs from February to August. After August, heavy rains cause
river levels to rise and make the cave largely inaccessible.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he
foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the
inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used
for awarding prizes to people who had made worldwide contributions to mankind. Originally
there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added
in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awarded ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum
is used for the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to 125.000 dollars.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death , the awards (gold medals,
illuminated diploma and money) are present to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an
important roles in the judges’ decision. American have won numerous science awards, but
relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people
have won two prizes, but this is rare; other have shares their prizes.
Câu 28: When did the first award ceremony take place?
A. 1895 B. 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968
Câu 29: Why was the Nobel’s prize established?
A. to recognize worldwide contributions to humanity B. to resolve political
differences
C. to honor the inventor of dynamite D. to spend money.
Câu 30: In which field have American received the most awards?

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.

A. push their child into trying too much. B. help their child to become a genius

Dear Angela,
I was horrified when I found out that my 12-year-old daughter had been arrested for
stealing some make-up from a high street chemist’s. This happened because she had been dared
by some older children from her school. She was so frightened that she started crying –which is
what attracted the attention of the 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 unlucky to be caught. Now it is over she must learn to live with it. But I feel a
failure as a parent and am afraid that my child will turn to crime later on in life.
Yours sincerely,

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.

Man discovered fire many thousands years ago. The first time he saw fire was probably when a
tree was struck by lightning. He soon learned how to make fire for himself. However man
probably made his fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to
cook his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the
world he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke
signals. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.Fire was very also
used to give light. Before the invention of oil lamp, men used burning sticks as torches. And
before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from posts to light
the streets.
One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took
exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle
and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle
clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too
quickly.

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. Mercury appears to us like a yellowish orange star. The nearest planet to the
sun, it is always seen near the sun, either just before sunrise or soon after sunset. People
sometimes call mercury the morning star or evening star. Mercury is half the size of the earth.
Because it is much lighter, it has much less gravity. If you can visit Mercury in a spaceship, you
will find it a strange world. Its low gravity makes you feel very light. 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 the coldest as well as the hottest of the planets.

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.

My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an

Most people will find it much easier to go for a gentle jog around the park.
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.
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 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 as
or twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice as fit.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very
useful in teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use
them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used
properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending the majority of their out-of-school
hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment
repairs and maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly
these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into
their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of
television and its usefulness in the classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to
become good readers. However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their
free time reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.
A. the use of television at schools. B. teaching and learning television

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very
useful in teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use
them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used
properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending the majority of their out-of-school
hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment
repairs and maintenance so these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly
these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into
their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of
television and its usefulness in the classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to
become good readers. However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their
free time reading books and newspapers but watching television instead.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become
the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged
around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced
following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part,

spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization,
and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew

A UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) is any object flying in the sky which cannot be
identified by the person who sees it. Sometimes the object is investigated. If people can still
not figure out what the object is after an investigation, it is called a UFO. If they figure out
what the object is, it can no longer be called a UFO because it has been identified.
Even though UFOs can be anything, people often use the word UFO when they are talking
about alien spacecraft. Flying saucer is another word that is often used to describe an
unidentified flying object.
Studies estimate that 50%-90% of all reported UFO sightings are identified later. Usually
10%-20% are never identified. Studies also show that very few UFO sightings are hoaxes
(people trying to trick other people). Most UFOs are actually natural or man-made objects that
looked strange. 80%-90% UFOs are identified as one of three different things: astronomical
causes (for example:planets, stars, or meteors); aircraft; balloons. 10%-20% of UFOs are
other causes (such as birds, clouds, mirages, searchlights, etc.)

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.

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
Different Colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen.
In her new series ‘Colour me Healthy’, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence
how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even
influence how healthy we are.
‘Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?’
says Verity. ‘Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not?
For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products as
being a bit disgusting. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its
name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design
new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.’
During this four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each
programme. She meets people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people
who design food packets, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she
meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the
American ‘Colour Doctor’ who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of
coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of
green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out
something new. But because Verity is goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets
on the series, it’s up to the viewers to make their own decisions about how much they should
believe.
27. What is the writer doing in this text?
A. giving information about how colours influence us
B. reporting what happens in a new television series
C. giving information about a television presenter
D. giving his opinion of a recent television show
28. According to Verity, why is a knowledge of colour important?
A. It can help you to choose the best products. B. It can give you new ideas.
C. It can help you to change people’s minds. D. It can help you to sell products.
29. Who does the writer respect least?
A. Verity Allen B. The people who name lipsticks
C. The ‘Colour Doctor’ D. The scientists who work with mice
30. Which of the following would make a good title for the text?

The Richter scale is a numerical logarithmic scale developed and introduced by Charles
R. Richter in 1935 to measure the amplitude of the largest trace recorded by a standard
seismograph one hundred kilometers from the epicenter of an earthquake. Tables have been
formulated to demonstrate the magnitude of any earthquake from any seismograph. For
example, for a one- unit increase in magnitude, there is an increase of thirty times in released
energy. The Richter scale considers earthquakes of 6. 75 as great and 7. 0 to 7. 75 as major.
An earthquake that reads 4 to 5. 5 would be expected to cause localized damage, and those of
magnitude 2 may be left. It is estimated that almost one million earthquakes occur each year,
but most of them are so minor that they pass unnoticed.

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also
help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the
enamel covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there
then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we
may feel quite ill.
How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He
can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to
check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and
fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day-once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We
can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should
eat food that is good for our teeth and our body:milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red
rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially
when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause
decay.

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of
oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign
language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute
have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very
picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A
nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots
read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture
signs also guide, warm, and instruct people. While verbalization is most common form of
language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the community
they live in. Manners are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to generation.
Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt to
respect seniority. When they passed an object to another person, they had to use both hands.
When they entered a room, they had to bow and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to
work hard to support their families. Girls learnt to do housework, and to take care of others.
Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they would not let
another person be punished for it. That would be cowardly and mean. They were taught that
families were strong, and everybody should stick together in adversity.
Fortunately, many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed to
making the unique Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our society.

Education System of Viet Nam in the Past
Because of 1, 000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated
a formal education system in Viet Nam. 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 dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental education system was officially improved. King Ly
Thanh Ton 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 Ton to select scholars for the office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial
Academy, the first university in Viet Nam’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 programme. When
the Ho Royal family ruled the country, students were taught simple mathematics.
From 1918 to 1945, Viet Nam’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.

Because of 1, 000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated
a formal education system in Viet Nam. 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 dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental education system was officially improved. King Ly
Thanh Ton 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 Ton to select scholars for the office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial
Academy, the first university in Viet Nam’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 programme. When
the Ho Royal family ruled the country, students were taught simple mathematics.
From 1918 to 1945, Viet Nam’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.

It is said that most people have no more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the
whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends.
If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.
One of the reasons for having more online friends than real friends at a certain point in time
is that online friendships do not require much time and energy: it is easy to accept friendships
and keep them forever. Another possibility is that it is difficult to say 'no' when somebody
asks us to be their friend online, even if we feel we don't really know them. The fact that they
ask us suggests that they do consider us a friend, which is a nice feeling. Alternatively, they
may be 'collectors' of online friends and just want to use us to get a higher number of friends
and appear to be popular.
Online friendships are quite easy, but in the real world decisions about friendships are harder
to make. There are no rules about friendship. There are no guidelines about how to make
friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on.
People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and
they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help
each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become
friends, this can lead to problems.
Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our
friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends
in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the time to develop our friendships, or we fear
we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find
ways to make new friends again.
This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not
think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to
be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too
frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is
likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are
friends we have not met yet.

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or on your answer sheet to indicate
We owe the invention of paper to the Egyptian papyrus or the Egyptian paper. The
Egyptians made paper from the papyrus plant (Cyperus papyrus) that was commonly found
along the banks of river Nile. The pith of the plant was taken out and cut into long strips. These
strips were placed diagonally over each other, and for better binding, were placed under a weight
for a couple of days. The quality of papyrus paper is evident from the fact that they are still intact
about 5000 years after they were written on.
Historical sources tell us that the ancient Egyptians were very secretive about the
manufacturing technique of their papyrus. This was because papyrus was one of the main
commodities that was exported by Egypt all over the region. Keeping its manufacturing process
a secret enabled them to achieve monopoly in the market.

D. Ancient Egypt didn’t export papyrus
29. In the second paragraph, the word ‘its’ refers to__________.

We owe the invention of paper to the Egyptian papyrus or the Egyptian paper. The
Egyptians made paper from the papyrus plant (Cyperus papyrus) that was commonly found
along the banks of river Nile. The pith of the plant was taken out and cut into long strips. These
strips were placed diagonally over each other, and for better binding, were placed under a weight
for a couple of days. The quality of papyrus paper is evident from the fact that they are still intact
about 5000 years after they were written on.

commodities that was exported by Egypt all over the region. Keeping its manufacturing process

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.
26. At first, the purpose of shaking hands was ____________.
A. to show a good relationship with each other
B. to show that there were no weapons in hands.
C. to show that both parties were ready for a fight.
D. a gesture of good will
27. The word ‘them’ refers to____________.
A. the two parties’ weapons
B. the two parties.
C. the two parties’ left hands.

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.
26.At first,the purpose of shaking hands was ____________.

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

A. die instantly B. bloom earlier C.

D. 20 to 50 percent of species could become extinct

Read the followingpassage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
Last weekend, six students from the Donoho School went on a fascinating trip back in
time. These students accompanied Jacksonville State University professor William Bannister on
a fossil hunt. The students, professor, and three graduate assistants headed to a valley near
Cheaha Mountain. The valley was not previously known to have any fossils in it. However, two
months ago, some campers in the valley stumbled upon some bones sticking out from the
ground. When they brought them to the museum, they were told that the bones were those of a
brontosaurus, a species of dinosaur.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Damke Foundation, the students were able to
accompany the professor on his dig. They spent most of both Saturday and Sunday carefully
digging in the area.
"We found a few bones," said Wendy Jacobs, a Donoho senior. "We're not sure which
animal they're from, but the professor assured us they were from a dinosaur."
The students, all of whom intend to major in science at college, are looking forward to
returning this coming weekend. "There's enough money in the grant for the next month, so we
should get to return at least three more times." said Donoho student Philip Peters.

Are sports bad for kids?
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others.
However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor
self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports,
40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been yelled at or
called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports.
They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of
too much aggression in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior.
This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents
and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults
behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At
children's sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child
behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable or
are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media makes
violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed
over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents
and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better
values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It's not
necessary to knock yourselt out to enjoys sports. Winning isn't everything. In addition, children
shouldn't be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury
into a game gives the child the message that health isn't as important as winning. If we make
some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
26. What is the main idea of the reading?

A. Children often become like their parents C. Playing sports may have negative results
B. Children need to play sports in school D. Some sports can cause health
27. How may children said they had some negative experience when playing sports?
A. All of the children C. Less than half of the children
B. More than half of the children D. About ten perfcent of the children
28. Which is described as the main cause of more aggressive playing?
A. Adults C. New rules in sports
B. Children with low grades in school D. Other players
29. What does the writter suggest?
A. Aggressive sports shouldn't be shown on television
B. Children shouldn't play sports intil high school
C. Coaches should be required to study child psychology
D. Parents should teach children to play sports for fun and exercise
30. What would probably NOT be done when "facing up to a problem"?

Are sports bad for kids?
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others.
However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor
self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports,
40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been yelled at or
called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports.
They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of
too much aggression in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior.
This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents
and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults
behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At
children's sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child
behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable or
are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media makes
violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed
over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents
and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better
values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It's not
necessary to knock yourselt out to enjoys sports. Winning isn't everything. In addition, children
shouldn't be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury
into a game gives the child the message that health isn't as important as winning. If we make
some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
26. What is the main idea of the reading?

A. Children often become like their parents C. Playing sports may have negative results
B. Children need to play sports in school D. Some sports can cause health
27. How may children said they had some negative experience when playing sports?
A. All of the children C. Less than half of the children
B. More than half of the children D. About ten perfcent of the children
28. Which is described as the main cause of more aggressive playing?
A. Adults C. New rules in sports
B. Children with low grades in school D. Other players
29. What does the writter suggest?
A. Aggressive sports shouldn't be shown on television
B. Children shouldn't play sports intil high school
C. Coaches should be required to study child psychology
D. Parents should teach children to play sports for fun and exercise

THE FOUR-YEAR SPREAD OF BUBBLE TEA ACROSS THE UK
Four years ago bubble tea was relatively unknown in the UK, but the drinks are now
ubiquitous on High Streets, from cities to small towns, writes Lucy Townsend.
It is often brightly coloured, sometimes served with milk, with a layer of jelly-like
globules - tapioca balls - that settle (21)__________the bottom of the cup. Drunk through an
extra thick straw with a spoon-shaped tip, it is a mouthful of tea and chewiness - both a drink and
a snack,
Chorley in Lancashire got its first bubble tea bar in July. Huddersfield has Bubble n
Shake, there is a mobile bubble tea van in Bristol, and it can be (22)_________in cities from
Glasgow to Portsmouth.
Bubble tea hails from 1980s Taiwan. It was an evolution from the country's street tea
vendors (23)_______began experimenting with fruity flavours and colour to entice customers.
The "bubble" actually (24)_______ the froth on top of the drink which comes after it is violently
shaken - some cafes use a machine especially for shaking.How the tapioca balls arrived in the
drink is a matter of debate - though the most common story is that product development manager

her Assam iced tea. The result was considered delicious.
While growing in the UK, it is even more popular in Germany, according to market

In an effort to fight pollution and help the environment, the Marina Hills Ecology Club
offers free trees to institutions willing to plant them on their grounds. Among those that took
advantage of the offer was Marina Hills High School. After consulting with his teachers on
where to plant the trees, Principal Max Webb contacted the Ecology Club.But when
the seedlings arrived, Webb had an idea. Instead of planting the young trees in front of the
school, he thought it would be better to put them behind the school, where the sun gets very hot
in the afternoon.“It gets so hot inside the building that the students start to sweat during their
afternoon classes,” said Webb. “Now the shade from our trees will bring them some relief.”
“There was no argument from the teachers,” he added. “When I proposed the idea,
everyone said, ‘Now why didn’t I think of that!’”.The relief won’t come until the trees grow
taller, but the school will not have to wait long because it requested two species of trees that
grow quickly. “Time is key, and we wanted our trees to get big fast,” said Webb. “We were
given a wide choice, from shrubs to fruit trees. We requested eucalyptus and willow trees.”Webb
said he is also looking forward to finally seeing some wildlife in the school yard at Marina Hills
High School. “If all you have is a grass lawn with no trees, you can’t expect the local birds to
come and visit,” said Webb. “They have no place to make their nests. Now that will change, and
we’ll be able to see birds from our classroom windows.”

Recent research into the world of teenagers has suggested that they value friendship
above everything else. Children aged between 12 and 15 were asked what was important to
them. Their answers included possessions such as money and computer gadgets but also
relationships with people. The teenagers questioned said that friends were the most important
to them, more even than family, or boyfriends and girlfriends.
We wanted to find out more about the results of this research so we asked our readers
what they thought about the value of friendship. Here are some examples of what they said about
their friends:
Ben, 15:
Every time I have a fight with my parents, I need some time on my own. But after that,
the first thing I do is meet up with my friends. After playing football for a while, or
skateboarding, I usually feel much happier again.
Rory, 13:
When I moved to a village in the countryside, I thought that it would be the end of my
friendships. But my old friends have kept in touch and they come and visit in the holidays.
There's a lake nearby, so we often go sailing, water-skiing or windsurfing. And I have made
some new friends here too. at school, and since I joined the rugby club.
Cartos, 11:
Last year, I broke my arm on a skiing holiday. Unfortunately, it was my left arm and I
am left handed. My school friends all helped and copied their notes for me.
It seems that our readers value their friendships very highly. From what they told us.
they spend a lot of time with their friends, just hanging out, or sharing hobbies and interests.
They seem to need their friends for advice, help, chats. and for having fun. Clearly, friends
make each other feel better. Looking at what our readers told us. the results of the recent research
are not really surprising.
26. Why are Ben, Rory and Carlos mentioned in the article?
A. They know why teenagers value C. They gave information about
friendship. themselves.
B. They read magazines. D. They are teenage boys
27. Which of the following best describes Ben?
A. He often has fights. C. He likes being alone.
B. He is happier than his friends. D. He likes some sports.
28. What do we know about the lake that Rory visits?
A. It is near the school.
B. It is used by a lot of people who do water sports.
C. It is near his home.
D. It is in a village.
29. Carlos mentions that he is left-handed because __________.
A. It makes skiing harder.

Recent research into the world of teenagers has suggested that they value friendship
above everything else. Children aged between 12 and 15 were asked what was important to
them. Their answers included possessions such as money and computer gadgets but also
relationships with people. The teenagers questioned said that friends were the most important
to them, more even than family, or boyfriends and girlfriends.
We wanted to find out more about the results of this research so we asked our readers
what they thought about the value of friendship. Here are some examples of what they said about
their friends:
Ben, 15:
Every time I have a fight with my parents, I need some time on my own. But after that,
the first thing I do is meet up with my friends. After playing football for a while, or
skateboarding, I usually feel much happier again.
Rory, 13:
When I moved to a village in the countryside, I thought that it would be the end of my
friendships. But my old friends have kept in touch and they come and visit in the holidays.
There's a lake nearby, so we often go sailing, water-skiing or windsurfing. And I have made
some new friends here too. at school, and since I joined the rugby club.
Cartos, 11:
Last year, I broke my arm on a skiing holiday. Unfortunately, it was my left arm and I
am left handed. My school friends all helped and copied their notes for me.
It seems that our readers value their friendships very highly. From what they told us.
they spend a lot of time with their friends, just hanging out, or sharing hobbies and interests.

During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They
often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in
school. This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for parents to
understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still
growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are
asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and
future plans. However, it is not a good idea that parents push teenagers to talk if they do not want
to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying to be adult may
experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol, or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of
unusual behavior which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

UK fires starting gun on race to ‘zero emission’ economy
Government ministers are calling time on the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions by tasking
climate experts (21)__________finding a path to a net zero emission economy.
The committee on climate change is (22)__________to strengthen the UK’s existing
2050 target to drive emissions down by 80pc from levels in 1990.
The new target is likely to spur action to find low-carbon alternatives for British
manufacturing, transport and heating in what ministers believe is “one of the greatest industrial
(23)__________of our time”.
The UK has already cut is emission by over 40pc from 1990 levels, while the economy
has grown by over 60pc but new policies will be needed to go further, said the Confederation of
British Industry.
“Businesses are committed to playing their part in the move to (24)__________zero-
carbon future, ensuring the UK remains a global leader in low-carbon performance,” said Tom
Thackray, of the CBI, “but they can only go so far without the correct policy measures to drive
investment and change consumers’ (25)__________”.

Mars has captured the imaginations of people since ancient times. People have long
wondered if the planet is home to alien life. Over the years, a number of theories con-cerning this
matter have arisen.
In the nineteenth century, there were finally telescopes made that could closely examine
at the surface of the Red Planet. While looking at Mars, an Italian astron-omer saw many straight
channels on its surface. These were most likely caused by the action of either the wind or water
in the distant past. When he published his observations, he used the Italian word canali, which
means "channels". However, English-speaking astronomers interpreted the word as "canals" and
assumed that he was referring to something akin to manmade canals on Earth.
An American astronomer. Percival Lowell, believed that these "canals" had been built by
a race of intelligent beings that had lived - and might still be living - on Mars. The result of that
highly publicized claim was that a great number of myths about Mars suddenly arose. For
instance, H. G. Wells wrote The War of the Worlds, a book about a Martian invasion of Earth, in
1898. Over the next few decades, Mars and Martians featured in countless science fiction
stories, movies, and TV shows.
Years later, in the 1960s and 1970s, the United States sent several satellites to investigate
Mars more closely. The satellites found no canals. but one picture sud-denly ignited a great deal
of interest in Mars. In 1976, Viking 1 took a snapshot of the Martian surface. In the picture was
what appeared to be an enormous human face. It was so large that it measured more than three
kilometers long. This con-vinced people that there was - or had been - intelligent life on Mars.
In 2001, however, the mystery of the Martian face was solved by Mars Global Surveyor.
The pictures that it transmitted proved that the face was just a mesa, a type of geological
formation. As for the "eyes, nose, and mouth" of the face, they were merely shadows. Despite
this proof, many people are still convinced that signs of life could be found on Mars someday.

The idea of life in outer space has been talked about for a long time. Some scientists say
that life development on Earth was far too unlikely for it to have happened anywhere else.
Things had to be perfect for us to make it on this planet. Other scientists say that space is too big.
Stars and other planets are far too numerous for there to be no other life in the universe.
For many years, there have been reports of visitors from other planets. People all around
the world have claimed to see alien spaceships or even aliens themselves. There have been
glimpses of these so-called UFOs (unidentified flying objects) flying through the air
and they have even been captured on video. Some Americans believe that the U.S. Army found
an alien spaceship crashed in the desert and then lied to the press about it. Although these
sightings may be true, scientists have not found significant evidence that aliens exist.
If you go out into the countryside on a clear night and look up, you can see thousands of
stars. These stars make up a tiny part of our universe. There are more stars, planets, and galaxies

is. The number of possible stars and planets out there is bigger than our ability to count. If we are

Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called
a “housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money
for the family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he
did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay
with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend
the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do
the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the
children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the
husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job.
For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the
wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child
care from grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents
are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care
help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is
the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many
companies now let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time
with their children. Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children.
For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more
men are becoming househusbands every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand
their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives
may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each
other.

Ready To Buy A Car From Vietnam? VinFast Is Looking To Make A Splash
If Vietnam’s first automaker, Vinfast, is serious about contending in the global auto
market, it’s initial car designs don’t indicate that it is very serious about making a splash with
design.
The company intends to show two vehicles at next month’s Paris Motor Show, a sedan
and crossover. Both vehicles were designed by Italian design house Pininfarina, which worked
with VinFast.
“The strong distinguishable design, enhanced by elegant lines and refined details, gives
our cars several distinctive (23)__________,” said David Lyon, VinFast’s design director in a
statement. “First and foremost, these emanate around the V (24)__________ in the grille which
references the country of Vietnam, (25)__________ the Vingroup and VinFast brands. In
conjunction with Pininfarina, we have carefully sculptured each body line to express the natural
beauty of Vietnam and the warm-hearted and dynamic (26)__________ of its people through a
modern and world-class design language.”
These vehicles could be from just about any carmaker in the world. The only thing
(27)__________ about them is that they come from Vietnam. It will be interesting to see and
hear how VinFast thinks it will position the brand and designs relative to more established and
reliable competition.
23. A. spotlights B. high points C. highlights D. peaks
24. A. trademarks B. brand C. icon D. logo

Earth orbits the sun while the moon orbits Earth. Occasionally, all three of them become
aligned with one another. When this happens, an eclipse occurs. There are two types of eclipses:
solar and lunar. Both are rare events simply because, due to the movement of all three celestial
bodies, the times when they line up with one another are infrequent.
Solar eclipses are easily the more spectacular of the two. For a solar eclipse to occur, the
moon’s orbit must take it between Earth and the sun. while the sun is much larger than the moon,
the relative nearness of the moon to Earth makes it appear to be the same size as the sun when
viewed from the ground. Thus, when the sun, Earth, and moon are perfectly aligned, the moon
appears to cover the entire sun. this is a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse may be either total or
partial. When a total eclipse happens, the sun is completely obscured by the moon. The sky
darkens, and it appears to be night time. However, most solar eclipse are partial ones. When they
take place, the sun is only partly covered by the moon.
When a solar eclipse happens, it is observable from a fairly small area on the planet.
Thus, when there is a solar eclipse in North America, it is highly unlikely that it will be visible in
Africa or Australia. A solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes since all three heavenly bodies
are in continual motion. People must also take care when viewing a solar eclipse since looking
directly at it can cause damage – including blindness – to their eyes.
Lunar eclipses happen when Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon. When
this occurs, the planet blocks sunlight from reflecting off the moon. Lunar eclipses take place at
night. During one, the moon appears very orange and is practically red in color. There are two
different types of lunar eclipses. Taken together, the result is that lunar eclipses happen more
frequently than solar eclipses. In addition, lunar eclipses may last for hours and can be seen from
a wider area on the planet. There is no harm in directly observing a lunar eclipse either, so
looking at one will not damage a person’s eyes.

Ready To Buy A Car From Vietnam? VinFast Is Looking To Make A Splash
If Vietnam’s first automaker, Vinfast, is serious about contending in the global auto
market, it’s initial car designs don’t indicate that it is very serious about making a splash with
design.
The company intends to show two vehicles at next month’s Paris Motor Show, a sedan
and crossover. Both vehicles were designed by Italian design house Pininfarina, which worked
with VinFast.
“The strong distinguishable design, enhanced by elegant lines and refined details, gives
our cars several distinctive (23)__________,” said David Lyon, VinFast’s design director in a
statement. “First and foremost, these emanate around the V (24)__________ in the grille which
references the country of Vietnam, (25)__________ the Vingroup and VinFast brands. In
conjunction with Pininfarina, we have carefully sculptured each body line to express the natural
beauty of Vietnam and the warm-hearted and dynamic (26)__________ of its people through a
modern and world-class design language.”
These vehicles could be from just about any carmaker in the world. The only thing
(27)__________ about them is that they come from Vietnam. It will be interesting to see and
hear how VinFast thinks it will position the brand and designs relative to more established and
reliable competition.
23. A. spotlights B. high points C. highlights D. peaks
24. A. trademarks B. brand C. icon D. logo
25. A. as long as B. moreover C. as well as D. thus
26. A. B. elements D. representatives

D. unique
Earth orbits the sun while the moon orbits Earth. Occasionally, all three of them become
aligned with one another. When this happens, an eclipse occurs. There are two types of eclipses:
solar and lunar. Both are rare events simply because, due to the movement of all three celestial
bodies, the times when they line up with one another are infrequent.
Solar eclipses are easily the more spectacular of the two. For a solar eclipse to occur, the
moon’s orbit must take it between Earth and the sun. while the sun is much larger than the moon,
the relative nearness of the moon to Earth makes it appear to be the same size as the sun when
viewed from the ground. Thus, when the sun, Earth, and moon are perfectly aligned, the moon
appears to cover the entire sun. this is a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse may be either total or
partial. When a total eclipse happens, the sun is completely obscured by the moon. The sky
darkens, and it appears to be night time. However, most solar eclipse are partial ones. When they
take place, the sun is only partly covered by the moon.
When a solar eclipse happens, it is observable from a fairly small area on the planet.
Thus, when there is a solar eclipse in North America, it is highly unlikely that it will be visible in
Africa or Australia. A solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes since all three heavenly bodies
are in continual motion. People must also take care when viewing a solar eclipse since looking
directly at it can cause damage – including blindness – to their eyes.
Lunar eclipses happen when Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon. When
this occurs, the planet blocks sunlight from reflecting off the moon. Lunar eclipses take place at
night. During one, the moon appears very orange and is practically red in color. There are two
different types of lunar eclipses. Taken together, the result is that lunar eclipses happen more
frequently than solar eclipses. In addition, lunar eclipses may last for hours and can be seen from
a wider area on the planet. There is no harm in directly observing a lunar eclipse either, so
looking at one will not damage a person’s eyes.

Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In
fact, the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were
being homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate,
and the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven
percent every year.
At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used
for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today,
however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home
due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class
size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that,
in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are,
therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated
some parents to remove their children from school.
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S.
has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now
plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and
enable them to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for
troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that
many believe is failing.

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are
frequently linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great
amount of devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and
cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is
the outer layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of
plates. There are a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest
upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The
plates may move away from or toward other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the
plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time,
this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that
only scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel
them, yet they cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause
buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and kill
thousands of people and might even cause the land to change its appearance.
Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the
planet’s oceans. Underwater earthquakes can cause the seafloor to move. This results in the
displacement of water in the ocean . When this occurs , a tsunami may form. This is a wave that
forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened.
A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches
land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunami to increase in
height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten meters in height-
can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill
large numbers of people.
A. How earthquakes and tsunami occur
B. What kind of damage natural disasters can cause

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are
frequently linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great
amount of devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and
cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is
the outer layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of
plates. There are a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest
upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The
plates may move away from or toward other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the
plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time,
this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that
only scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel
them, yet they cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause
buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and kill
thousands of people and might even cause the land to change its appearance.
Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the
planet’s oceans. Underwater earthquakes can cause the seafloor to move. This results in the
displacement of water in the ocean . When this occurs , a tsunami may form. This is a wave that
forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened.
A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches
land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunami to increase in
height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten meters in height-
can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill
large numbers of people.

While Western medicine is common throughout the world, it is not the only type of
medicine that people practice. Another kind of medical treatment is known as acupuncture. In
general, it is considered to be an alternative type of medicine, it was developed in China over one
thousand years ago, but exactly when and how it was created remain mysteries. Acupuncture
involves the inserting of multiple needles into the body. The needles are placed at certain points
in the body depending on the type of problem the patient has. According to the theory behind
acupuncture, there are places on the skin that are connected to different parts of the body. By
pricking the skin with needles at these points, an acupuncturist can help a patient either relieve
pain or cure various problems.
Acupuncture is popular in many parts of Asia. It is also becoming more common and
attracting new patients in Europe and North America. But many people believe it is ineffective.
The main reason they feel that way is that it is difficult to understand how the entire process
works. Research into acupuncture’s capabilities has yielded varying results. Some studies show
that it is quite effective at relieving pain. Other ones, however, claim that it is merely like a
placebo. In other words, people believe acupuncture treatment will be effective, so it winds up
helping them.

It's quite rare to meet teenagers who don't like sports. When you are young, you know
how important (21)______ to do physical exercise if you want to be healthy and strong, and for
that reason you often concentrate on just one sport with so (22)______ enthusiasm that in the end
you can't live without it. The problem is, though, that as you grow up you have less and less
spare time. At your age you have to study harder if you want to get good marks to go to
university, with perhaps only one afternoon a week to do any sport. This happens just when you
are at the best (23)______ for many sports, such as gymnastics and swimming. By the time you
finish all your studies you will probably be too old to be really good at sports like those, but if
you spend enough time on (24)______ while you are young, then one day you will find that you
are very good at your sport but too old to study, and you will find it (25)______ to get a good
job. Somehow, it doesn't seem fair.

Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the
"silent language of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show
what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be
misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal
introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or
unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder. Some people, usually
women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand
about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly.
Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their
space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me. " or "Excuse me. "
Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don't do so, it
means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested.
But when you are stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very
good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head
level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are
signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index
finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the
head when they admire them.
Learning aculture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do,
the safest thing to do is to smile.

When she saw how pale my face looked, she was very (23)________. She immediately went to
the bathroom, got a thermometer from the medicine-chest and came back and took my
temperature. When she found that I was (24)________a temperature of 40oC, she immediately
sent for the family doctor. After the doctor had seen me and given me an injection and some
medicine, he advised me to stay in bed for the next few days and so although I very much wanted
to celebrate your birthday with you, I could not. I hope that you and all your guests enjoyed
yourselves at the party. I’ll visit you as soon as I’m (25)________and about again.
Yours sincerely,

If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we
would be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom.
The language most commonly used between people of different nationalities, and particularly the
aristocracy, was French. In fact, French was the language of diplomacy, culture and education.
However, that is not the case nowadays. English has replaced French as the international
language of communication. Today, there are more people who speak English as a second
language than people who speak it as a first language.
There are many reasons why English has become the language of international
communication. Britain’s colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with it,
but it is mainly due to America’s rise to the position of major world power. This helped spread
popular American culture throughout the world bringing the language with it.
But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Language
specialists seem to be divided over this issue. There are those who claim that it is important to
have a language that the people in our increasingly globalized world have in common. According
to others, English is associated with a particular culture and therefore promotes that culture at the
expense of others. Linguists have suggested “Esperanto”, an artificially put-together language, as
a solution to international communication problems but without success. So English will
continue being the world language until some other language, maybe Chinese, which is the most
widely-spoken native language in the world, takes over as the world’s international language
instead of English.

Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To
generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed
on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own
energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and
water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells
are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little
maintenance and have a long lifetime.
However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy
during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area
to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much
904
as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive.
Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the
advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.

from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and

effort.It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a
bin.Anyone can do it.

The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities
are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting
waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and coal tars.
But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness
power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams
and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in
the US, but today it supplies only 4 percent. The oceans are another potential source of
energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves
to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean
water to produce energy.

Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean three times. His first voyage brought him fame and
popularity - he discovered a new continent. But he had enemies who wanted to get rid of him.
1005
On his second voyage 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 enemies spread about him were untrue, and the Spanish Government gave him four ships
to start on a new voyage. But this third voyage was unfortunate from the beginning. The ships
were met by terrible storms and the time he reached the shores of Haiti, Columbus lost three
of them. The remaining ship was about to go down when Columbus reached the island.
It took Columbus almost a year to return to Spain. He was unhappy, disappointed and
broken in health. Worst of all, everyone forgot his achievements. He died in poverty in 1506
without knowing that he discovered a new world. Before Columbus died, another traveller
named Amerigo Vespussi returned to Spain. He travelled along the coast of the land that
Columbus discovered, and he proved that it was not the coast of India, as Columbus thought,
but unknown continent.
For a long time the new continent was called the New World. But at last, they decided to
name it America, in honour of Amerigo, whose voyage showed it was not India. America
was discovered by Columbus in 1492. It was named America in 1506, the year in which
Columbus died.

Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The different
species that still exist today, namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian, South China and
Sumatra tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. Due to irresponsible hunting, the Bali,
Caspian and Java tigers have already become extinct. This could soon happen to the other
species too.
In the past, tigers were considered as pests. With a smaller area to hunt, as man had taken
up more of the land to build upon, the tigers found less areas for themselves to hunt. They
thus turned to farms to get their food. Farmers' livestock were attacked by these tigers. People
were then encouraged to hunt and kill these animals with the promise of rewards. Even after
the threat of tigers on livestock was over, man continued to hunt tigers, this time for
recreation. Poachers also hunt tigers for their body parts . The skin of tigers is much sought.
Bones and other organs are also used as ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine. Although
killing tigers is illegal, it is still being carried out and unless it is stopped, the remaining
species of tigers will soon become extinct too.

Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The different
species that still exist today, namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian, South China and
Sumatra tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. Due to irresponsible hunting, the Bali,
Caspian and Java tigers have already become extinct. This could soon happen to the other
species too.
In the past, tigers were considered as pests. With a smaller area to hunt, as man had taken
up more of the land to build upon, the tigers found less areas for themselves to hunt. They
thus turned to farms to get their food. Farmers' livestock were attacked by these tigers. People
were then encouraged to hunt and kill these animals with the promise of rewards. Even after
the threat of tigers on livestock was over, man continued to hunt tigers, this time for
1016
recreation. Poachers also hunt tigers for their body parts . The skin of tigers is much sought.

Francis Bacon, one of the most important philosophers of England, was born in London and
educated at Cambridge University. When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the
English ambassador. Two years later he went back to England to study law. At the age of
twenty- three he was chosen to parliament. His ideas about how scientist should study things
in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking called the scientific method.
One of the Bacon’s best known books was his Essays. Each Essay was a short piece of
writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,
conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his books, Bacon explained how
scientists should study things as they really existed in nature and then tried to figure out what
caused a particular thing to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see
that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive
reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon’s time.

Francis Bacon, one of the most important philosophers of England, was born in London and
educated at Cambridge University. When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the
English ambassador. Two years later he went back to England to study law. At the age of
twenty- three he was chosen to parliament. His ideas about how scientist should study things
in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking called the scientific method.
One of the Bacon’s best known books was his Essays. Each Essay was a short piece of
writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,
conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his books, Bacon explained how
scientists should study things as they really existed in nature and then tried to figure out what
caused a particular thing to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see
1030
that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive
reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon’s time.
