What make a good souvenir?
On my desk at home, I have a collection of souvenirs; objects that remind me of places I’ve visited and
important events in my life. These objects include a model boat that I saw being carved from a piece of
wood on a Caribbean island, a piece of lava that emerged hot from a volcano in the year I was bom, and a
shell (23) on my favourite childhood beach.
Unlike everything else, from which memory and detail fades, it is as if the longer you hold on to certain
objects, the (24) their associations with the past become, and the sharper the
recollections that gather around them. They are, (25) , real souvenirs, encapsulations not
only of the place, but of your time in the place. But these days, the term “real souvenirs” sounds like a

Trang 2/7
contradiction in terms, and this is because the objects sold to tourists as souvenirs are often cheap mass-
produced imports that have nothing to do with the place at all.
It’s often the (26) that the best souvenirs, like my shell, are found rather than
purchased, but browsing for souvenirs can also be a fun holiday activity. But if you are buying souvenirs
on holiday this summer, make sure they (27) the reality test. A good souvenir is not just
made in the area where it is bought, it also says something about the culture of that area. It is something
made by local people using sustainable local materials, and because you are effectively supporting the
local economy, it shouldn’t come too cheap, either.
Question 23: A. come across B. found out C. picked up D. bumped into
Question 24: A. larger B. wider C. harder D. greater
Question 25: A. therefore B. whereas C. however D. otherwise

FLASH MOBS -A NEW KIND OF EVENT
In 2003, an unusually large number of customers arrived without warning in the carpet department of
Macy’s Department store in New York. The assistants couldn’t see why all of them were so interested in
buying exactly the same carpet. In 2006,4,000 people arrived with MP3 players and headsets at a London
railway station and started dancing at a set time. As no music could be heard, this looked veiy strange.
Police were even called to make sure that trains continued to run on time, but when they arrived the
dancers had gone. In March 2013, more than 2,000 people gathered in Seoul, South Korea, complete with
musical instruments, and started to dance. Many were students from Sungsin Girls’ High School - they
joined other Earth Hour supporters and collected a staggering 150,000 signatures from local citizens in
support of the campaign. In Korea, an estimated 12 million people participated in Earth Hour 2013. These
are three samples of ‘flash mob’ events, when a crowd of people suddenly come together in a public
place, perform an unusual action, and appear as quickly as they appear. They are organised using
electronic media such as mobile phones or the internet.
To their fans, flash mobs are simply a chance to have some lighthearted, if rather silly, fun. However,
when just under 2,000 people got together in San Francisco for an enormous pillow fight, it ended up
costing thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, a heavy rainstorm meant that the city was left covered with
wet feathers, which caused streets, shops, and a restaurant to be flooded, and ruin the local fountain. It
took several days to put the damage right. Norman Dito, head of the city’s Recreation and Park
Department said, ‘In future, organizers of such events should apply for permission beforehand and pay
the standard fee to cover security, insurance, and cleaning up afterwards. Sadly, I think this is unlikely to
happen, since nobody knows who the organizers are, or when or where a flash mob will take place next.
Crimes associated with flash mobs are rare, but occasionally make international headlines. Sometimes
referred to as ‘flash robs’ by the media, these start with the intent to destroy, or lead to the destruction of
private property or violence. Professor of Psychology Mark Leary explains that as social media adds the
ability to recruit a large number of people, individuals who would not rob a store on their own feel freer
to misbehave without being identified. In Germany, the authorities in some cities have taken things even
further by strictly enforcing an already-existing law that says a special Permit must be obtained to use a
public space for any event.

SHAYNE’S DREAMS COME TRUE - BUT WILL THEY BE SHATTERED?
It is a week before The X Factor live tour when I meet the winner of the series, Shayne Ward. “It has
been mental.” he says, referring to the past six months of his life. “I’ve just been talking to Louis Walsh
on the phone. Louis Walsh!” Walsh, a top record producer and The X Factor judge, now manages
Shayne’s career. “I was talking to Simon Cowell (a celebrity record producer) yesterday!” He shakes his
head in amazement. And these people are telling me they’re excited about working with me. “I can’t get
my head round it.”
Shayne is about as natural as any pop star arriving in the public arena can be. “I just can’t accept where
I am now” he says sincerely. “It doesn’t feel real. To me, this is just a job.” “What do you think being
famous feels like?” I ask him. “I’m not sure, to be honest. Different from this?” he laughs, with only a
hint of nerves. Since winning The X Factor, Shayne’s success has been phenomenal. His debut single
took just three days to reach the number one spot. On tour, he’s going to play to audiences of 10,000 on
average. He has already brought the house down at a gig in his home city. “I walked out after that
Trang 4/7
performance and just thought, “I’m dreaming!”” Shayne is one of a family of seven children. Times were
hard, but he has never wished or a different childhood. Although he thought about going to college, he
ended up leaving school at sixteen, just to help his mother pay the rent. He set out on his reality show
journey shortly afterwards. When he told he friends he had an audition for The X Factor, none of them
really believed him. “I thought I’d go fot it because my family wanted me to, but I never really believed
that I would win.”
Naturally, Ward is a fan of reality TV talent shows. “They’re brilliant, because people who want
recording contracts try for years and get nowhere. Then these competitions come along the people at
home decide whether they like the singers or not. So it's not just a few people at a record company
deciding who gets a chance.” But the previous winner of The X Factor only had one hit. He hasn’t been
heard of since then. Is Shayne Ward going to be another talent show flop?
A lot of people feel cynical about reality TV show winners and their chances of continuing success.
Audiences usually lose interest in them as soon as the show has finished. In fact, contestants on shows
like Big Brother are given severe warnings from the show’s producers beforehand, basically telling them
“you will not be liked”. Talent shows like The X Factor have to offer contestants a kind of stardom
though, and something they can think of as a career, months afterwards at least.

C. He is confused about the nature of fame.
D. He thinks his job isn’t particularly glamorous.
Question 38: After performing in his home city, Shayne felt
A. overwhelmed B. embarrassed C. disappointed D. relieved
Question 39: After leaving school at the age of sixteen, Shayne
A. set off on a trip B. gave up performing
C. got himself a job D. applied to a college
Question 40: The word “flop” in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. someone who is unpopular
B. someone who is unsuccessful
C. someone who isn’t ambitious
D. someone who lacks character
Question 41: According to the passage, who decide the winner of a reality TV talent show?
