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

Although people drive in all countries, the rules can be quite different between nations and
areas. For this reason, you should always learn the laws before you decide to drive in a
foreign country. If you are not careful, you can get into trouble since the rules might be very
different from what you are used to. For example, you can find some big differences in laws
related to the minimum driving age, the appropriate side of the road to drive on, and mobile
phone use while driving.
In the U.S., people who live in Alaska may obtain a learner’s permit (legal permission to
drive while being supervised) at the age of fourteen. This is quite different from the driving
laws of Niger, where a person must be at least twenty-three years old to drive. If you are
inquisitive to know the minimum driving age in most countries, the answer is eighteen. It
may also surprise you to learn that not every country allows its citizens to drive, although
most of them do. For example, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia no matter
how old they are. Instead, they must have a male family member or hired male driver to
travel by car.
Driving on the right or left side of the road also varies. For instance, in Great Britain, Cyprus,
Australia, India, and Malaysia people drive on the left. However, in the U.S., Mexico, France,
and Canada people are required to drive on the right. As a matter of fact, one country can
have different driving rules for different areas. People in Hong Kong drive on the left, while
drivers in other parts of China use the right side of the road.

Other driving laws that are different between countries include those related to using mobile
phones. In Japan, using any kind of mobile phone device is illegal, even if you do not need to
hold the phone with your hands. However, in Argentina and Australia, drivers are allowed to
talk on their mobile phones as long as they do not use their hands. 
You might also find it interesting to learn that some countries have very unusual laws. For
example, in the country of Cyprus, it is against the law to eat or drink anything while driving.
Even more interesting is that in Germany, there is a famous road called the Autobahn, where
certain parts have no speed limit at all!
Question 19: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Females can drive a car in Saudi Arabia.
B. People in India drive on the right side of the road.
C. You can drive as fast as you want on all parts of the German Autobahn.
D. You are not allowed to hold your mobile phone and talk while you drive in Australia.
Question 20: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a main difference in driving laws
in this passage?
A. Drink driving limit B. Legal driving age
C. Right or left hand traffic D. Safety calls
Question 21: According to the passage, it is illegal to eat or drink while driving in_______.
A. Cyprus B. Great Britain C. China D. Australia

because_______.

B. You can get into trouble when you are not used to another country’s rules.
C. You can have a car accident if you do not know the rules.
D. It helps you identify the appropriate side of the road to drive on.

A. indifferent B. concerned C. nosy D. curious

A. drivers B. mobile phones C. driving laws D. countries

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
There is a strange paradox to the success of the Asian education model. On the one hand,
class sizes are huge by Western standards with between 30 and 40 students per class, in
countries like Japan and Korea. On the other hand, school children in developed Asian
economies rank among the highest in the world for academic achievement in the areas of
science and mathematics, especially on standardised tests. Meanwhile, British secondary
school students fail to shine in conditions most educational researchers would say are far
more likely to help them succeed.
Classroom management seems to be easier in places like Korea, and perhaps lessons are more
effective as a direct consequence. After all, we are only too aware of the decline in discipline
standards in our own school: belligerent and disrespectful students appear to be the norm
these days. Teachers in Britain seem powerless to control what happens anymore. Surely this
situation cannot create a very effective learning environment, so perhaps the number of
students is far less relevant than is the manner in which they conduct themselves.
But there are other factors to consider, too. There is the home environment. The traditional
family unit still remains relatively intact in Korea. Few children come from broken homes, so
there is a sense of security, safety and trust both at home and at school. In Britain meanwhile,

Trang 6 http://dethithpt.com – Website chuyên đề thi thử file word có lời giải
one in every two marriages fails and divorce rates are sky high. Perhaps children struggle to
cope with unstable family conditions and their only way to express their frustration is by
misbehaving at school.
But while the Japanese, Korean and Asian models generally do seem to produce excellent
results, the statistics don’t tell the whole truth. You see, behind those great maths and science
scores, there is a quite remarkable work ethic. Asian students tend to put their education
before literally everything else. They do very few extracurricular activities and devote far
more time to their studies than their British peers.
There has been a lot of attention and praise given to these Asian models and their
“impressive” statistics of late. And without question, some of this praise is justified, but it
seems to be a case of two extremes in operation here. At one end, there is the discipline and
unbelievably hard work ethic of the Asian students – success in education before all else. At
the other end, British students at times appear careless and extremely undisciplined by
comparison, but at least they Do have the free time to enjoy their youth and explore their
interests. Is either system better outright? Or is it perhaps about time we stopped comparing
and started trying to combine the best bits of both, so that we can finally offer our students a
balanced, worthwhile education
Question 43: The word “They” in paragraph 4 refers to_______.
A. British students B. Asian students C. Korean students D. Japanese students
Question 44: British secondary school students_______.
A. have larger class sizes B. fail at school more than they succeed
C. do better on stadardised tests D. enjoy better classroom conditions
