PART 4: READING
Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The family in Britain is changing. The once typical British family headed by two parents has undergone substantial changes
during the twentieth century. In particular, there has been a rise in the number of single-person households, which increased from
18 to 29 per cent of all households between 1971 and 2002. By the year 2020, it is estimated that there will be more single people
than married people. Fifty years ago, this would have been socially unacceptable in Britain.
In the past, people got married and stayed married. Divorce was very difficult, expensive and took a long time. Today, people's
views on marriage are changing. Many couples, mostly in their twenties or thirties, live together (cohabit) without getting married.
Only about 60% of these couples will eventually get married.
In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in Britain are born to unmarried (cohabiting)
parents. In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain.
Cohabiting couples are also starting families without first being married. Before 1960 this was very unusual, but in 2001 around
23 per cent of births in the UK were to cohabiting couples.
People are generally getting married at a later age now and many women do not want to have children immediately. They prefer
to concentrate on their jobs and put off having a baby until late thirties.
The number of single-parent families is increasing. This is mainly due to more marriages ending in divorce, but some women are
also choosing to have children as lone parents without being married.
1. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Changing Values and Norms of the British Family
B. Changes in Marriage among British Young Generations

B. Half of the children in Britain now are born to unmarried couples.
C. Women in Britain now do not want to have children right after marriage.
D. There are more and more single-parent families in Britain these days.
4. The phrase “put off” in the passage mostly means _______________.
A. do not want B. delay C. start D. do not intend

Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
CALORIES
All creatures neeed to eat something in order to survive. Fortunately, different species of animals have different
things that they eat as food. No matter what a creature eats, the food must have enough calories in it to maintain life.
Calories, or the energy stored in the food, provide the fuel which animals, including humans, need in other words enough
calories, will starve and die.
The term calorie has a scientific meaning. Calorie is a measure of an amount of energy just like pound is a measure
of weight. A calorie is officially defined as the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of a gram of water by 1
degree Celsius, which is 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. The terrm “ calorie” and “ Calorie” with a capital C have two different
meaning to scientists. The term Calorie ( with a capital C ) means one kilocalorie, the amount of energy required to raise the
temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. A kilogram is the same as 1,000 grams and a kilocalorie is
1,000 calories. Food calories are always measured as Calories but average people don’t care much about the difference and
just use the word calories.
Food is composed of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Nutritionists know that a gram of protein contains 4 Calories, a
gram of fat has 9 Calories, and a gram of carbohydrate has 4 Calories.
All food contain calories. When we eat something it provides energy for our bodies to use when we are active. We
even need energy or calories while we are sleeping because, for example, our bodies are still breathing, our heart is
pumping, and we continue to digest the food in our stomachs. If a person eats more foodand more calories than is used up by
activity, the body stores the excess calories in case it might need it later when food might not be available. So a person gains
weight due to the extra food and calories. Similarity, if a person consumes fewer calories than are used every day over
several weeks and ismore active, that person will lose weight.
1. Calorie is a measure of ............................
A. weight B. distance C. energy D. volume
2. Animals that do not consume enough calories over a long time .........................
A. can lose weight B. can starve C. can maintain life D. can fight against starvation

4. People gain weight from ...............................
A. eating more food and calories than they use up

D. eating a lot of food and calories when they are active

THE STORY OF COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by John Pemberton, a druggist living in Atlanta. The original drink was a type of syrup,
using coca leaves, sugar and cola nuts, plus a few other secret ingredients! Pemberton sold it as a medicine; and with its coca (the
source of cocaine), it must have made people feel good!
Nevertheless, Pemberton’s medicine was not very successful, so he sold his secret formula to another druggist, Asa
Candler. Candler was interested, because he had another idea that Pemberton’s “medicine” would be much better if it was mixed
with soda. Candler was thus the man who really invented the drink Coca-Cola. Candler also advertised his new drink, and soon
people were going to drugstores just to get a drink of Coca-Cola.
Before long, other people became interested in the product, including a couple of businessmen who wanted to sell it in
bottles. Candler sold them a licence to bottle the drink, and very quickly the men became millionaires. The famous bottle, with its
very distinctive shape, was designed in 1916. And the famous Coca-Cola logo is the most famous logo in the world. Unlike any
other famous commercial logos, it has not changed in 100 years!
During the First World War, American soldiers in Europe began asking for Coca-Cola, so the Coca-Cola company began
to export to Europe. It was so popular with soldiers that they then had to start bottling the drink in Europe.
Today, Coca-Cola is made in countries all over the world, including Russia and China; it is the world’s most popular
drink.
As for the famous formula, it is probably the world’s most valuable secret! The exact ingredients for making Coca-Cola
are only known to a handful of people. And as for the “coca” that was in the original drink, that was eliminated in 1903. It was a
drug, and too dangerous. Today’s Coca-Cola contains caffeine, but not cocaine!

The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes
won for women the right to vote. In the 1960s, feminism – the belief that women and men are equal in abilities and should have
equal rights and opportunities - became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women
to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand the equal right with men in areas such as employment and pay.
Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced. The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for instance, made it illegal for
woman to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex
having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs. In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help
people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for
women need to be made. Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid
jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry.
Many people believe that there is still a long way to go before women are treated as equals in employment. In education, however,
girls’ and women’s opportunities have improved rapidly and in public employment there are policies to increase the proportion of
women employed, which is still very low at senior levels.

INTERNATIONAL GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS
The tradition of gift giving is a worldwide practice that is said to have been around since the beginning of human beings.
Over time, different cultures have developed their own gift giving customs and traditions.
In France, the gift of wine for the hostess of a dinner party is not an appropriate gift as the hostess would prefer to choose
the vintage for the night. In Sweden, a bottle of wine or flowers are an appropriate gift for the hostess. In Viet Nam, a gift of
whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit or small gifts for the hostess, children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts
should never be wrapped in black paper because this color is unlucky and associated with funerals in this country. Gifts that
symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the
relationship. Also, in some countries you should not open the gift in front of the giver and in others it would be an insult if you did
not open the gift.
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented. Different cultures have different
customs regarding how a gift should be offered - using only your right hand or using both hands, for example. Others have strong
traditions related to the appropriate way to accept a gift. In Singapore, for instance, it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift
several times before finally accepting it. The recipient would never unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear of appearing greedy.
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate gift, will help you to avoid
any awkwardness or embarrassment as you seek to build a better cross-cultural relationship.
1. When did the tradition of gift-giving become popular all over the world?
A. a long time ago B. thousands of years ago
C. since the beginning of humans D. since the beginning of industrialization
2. Which of the following is NOT true about gift-giving customs?
A. In France, wine is not considered a suitable gift for the hostess of a dinner party.
B. In Sweden, it is not customary to bring some wine or flowers when you are invited to a dinner party.
C . In Viet Nam, such things as scissors, knives and other sharp objects shouldn't be used as a gift.
D. In Singapore, it is unacceptable to open the gift right in front of the giver.
3. The phrase “associated with" is closest in meaning to ____.

Exercise 2: Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Pollution is any contamination of the environment which causes harm to the environment or the inhabitants of the environment.
There are three main kinds of pollution.
Air pollution can be caused by liquids, or gases that make the air harmful to breathe. There are two main types of air pollution:
primary and secondary. Primary pollutants enter the air directly, like smoke from factories and car exhaust. Secondary pollutants
are chemicals that mix together to pollute the air, like mixtures of emissions from vehicles and factory smoke that change to form
more dangerous pollutants in the air and sunlight.
Soil pollution can be caused by pesticides, leakage from chemical tanks, oil spills, and other chemicals which get into the soil by
dumping or accidental contamination. Soil pollution can also cause water pollution when underground water becomes
contaminated by coming into contact with the polluted soil. Water pollution can be caused by waste products, sewage, oil spills,
and litter in streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some scientists believe that water pollution is the largest cause of death and disease
in the world, causing about 14,000 deaths in the world each day.
It is not possible for anyone to predict the exact timing and effects of global pollution and global climate change brought about by
pollution. There is general agreement by scientists that the global climate will continue to change, the intensity of weather effects
will continue to increase, and some species of animals will become extinct.

A. Solutions to pollution B. Environmental issues

special ecotourism experience.

3. A. chamge B. various C. diverse D. diversity
4. A. during B. until C. as D. for
5. A. fertile B. dry C. poor D. wealthy
Exercise 2: Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
As most potential ecotourist sites are inhabited by ethnic minorities, the principle of “encouraging community participation in
ecotourism activities” should both create income and help maintain cultural identity. These communities have a deep
understanding of traditional festivals, cultivation and land use customs, traditional lifestyle and handicrafts, and historical places.
A trip to limestone mountain of Cao Bang – Bac Kan, for example, is valuable not only for the Ba Be Lake, but for the
opportunity to learn about cultivation customs, dying practices using endemic plants to produce brocading, and traditional
handmade boats of precious timber collected in the forest.
Because ecotourism is important for environmental education, meaintenance of indigenous culture, and local economic
development, both investment and government encouragement are required.
On research shows that 90 percent of ecotourist guides lack environmental knowledge about the flora, fauna, and natural resources
in the area, and 88 percent would benefit from ecotourism guidebooks written especially for them. An illustration of wasted
potential caused by this lack of trainning is Ha Long Bay, a world heritage site with immense environmental value – coral reefs,
limestone mountains, thousands of flora and fauna species of high biodiversity, and rich cultural identity. But tourists in Ha Long
Bay are presently visiting only the Bay and some caves, not accessing environmental information or local cultural activities. In
general, the full potential of ecotourism has not yet been reached.
International visitors to Viet Nam often like to visit ethnic minority villages to observe the culture, meet local people, and
participate in traditional activities. The ethnic minorities who live in or near nature reserves maintain distinctive lifestyles, cultural
indentities and traditional customs. These features are part of the real value of ecotourism. However, local people still live in
poverty, their life closely associates with natural resources. The economic benefits of ecotourism need to be shared with them, but
this will not happen without community participation.
1.An eco tour to the region of ethnic minorities is very valuable because tourists __________
A. can make a trip to the limestone mountain of Cao Bang – Bac Kan.
B. can learn dying practises using endemic plants to produce broading
C. can make traditonal boats of precious timber collected in the forest.
D. can understand the aspects of cultures and traditions.
2. Tourist guides who lack environmental knowledge can’t ___________
A. make tourists access all environmental information or local culture activities.
B. take tourists to Ha Long Bay, a world heritage site with immense environmental value
C. get ecotourism guidebooks written especially for them
D. make ethnic minorities have a deep understanding of their traditional festivals.
3. In order to develop ecotourism, local communities should ___________
A. depend on natural resources B. take part in all aspects of ecotourism
C. change their distinctive lifestyles D. share the economic benefits of ecotourism.
4. The word “distinctive” in paragraph 4 is closet meaning to _______
A. staying the same for a long time B. easily understood
C. clearly different from others D. close to nature
