READING (UNIT 5 – 8 – Long Phú )

A. READ THE PASSAGE BELOW AND CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR EACH
QUESTION: ( 6 passages )
* Passage 1 :
The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use
language to read, write, listen, and speak. In modern contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at a level
adequate for communication, or at level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society, so
as to take part in that society. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
has drafted the following definition: " Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create,
communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy
involvesa continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her
knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society."
Policy makers also argue that literacy increases job opportunities and access to higher education. In
Kerala, India, for example, female and child mortality rates declined dramatically in the 1960s, when the girls
who were educated in the educational reforms after 1948 began to raise families. Recent researchers, however,
argue that correlations such as the one listed above may have more to do with the effects of schooling rather
than literacy in general. Regardless, the focus of educatioal systems worldwide include a basic concept around
communication through text and print, which is the foundation of most definitions of literacy.
Asian, Arab and Sub-Saraha African countries are regions with the lowest literacy rates at about 10% to
12%. East Asia and Latin America have illiteray rates in the 10 to 15% region while developed countries have
illiteray rates of a few percent. Within ethnically homogeneous regions, literay rates can vary widely from
region to region. This often coincides with the region's wealth or urbanization, though many factors play a role.

* Passage 2 :
The Women's World Cup was originally the brainchild of the FIFA president joão Havelange. The first
tournament was hosted in China in 1991, with twelve teams sent to represent their countries. The 1995 FIFA
Women's World Cup was held in Sweden with twelve teams. Over 650,000 spectators attended the 1999 FIFA
Women's World Cup in the United States and nearly one billion viewers from seventy countries tuned in to
watch sixteen countries vie for the title.
In the 1999 edition, one of the most famous moments of the tournament was American defender Brandi
Chatain's victory celebration after scoring the Cup-winning penalty shot against Cina. She took off her T-shirt
and waved it over her head as men frequently do, showing her muscular torso. The 1999 final in the Rose Bowl
in Pasadena, California had an attendance of 90,185, a world record for a women's sporting event.
The 1999 and 2003 Women's World Cup were both held in the United States; in 2003 China was
supposed to host it but the tournament was moved because of SARS. As compensation, China retained its
automatic qualification to the 2003 tournament as host nation and was automatically chosen to host the 2007

* Passage 3 :
Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, many coaches believe that it is possible for anyone
who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants do not run a marathon to win. More
inportant for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific age group and
gender. Another very important goal is to break certain time barries. For example, ambitiousrecreational first-
timers often try to run the marathon under 4 hours; more competitive runners will attempt to run under 3 hours.
Many runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which makes them " sub-3:30h marathoners ",
instead of 3:30:01.
For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many coaches believe that
the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to reach a
maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the
marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance. During marathon training, adequate
recovery time is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a kreak for a couple of days or more
to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to
recover from difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at a
greater risk of injury.
1. Marathon completion is ______________ .
A. impossible B. easy C. not very difficult D. very difficult

C. it is time for him to stop his training D. he should take a break for several days

* Passage 4 :
 The world's population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999, a doubling that occurred
over 40 years. The Census Bureau's lasted projections imply that population growth will continue into the 21st
century, although more slowly. The world's population is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion
by 2042, an increase of 50 percent that will require 43 years.
The world's population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year from 1950 to 1951 to a peak of
over 2 percent in the early 1960s due to reductions in mortality. Growth rates thereafter started to decline due to
rising age at marriage as well as increasing availability and use of effective contraceptive methods. Note that
changes in population growth have not always been steady. A dip in the growth rate from 1959 to 1960, for
instance, was due to the Great Leap Forward in China. During that time, both natural disasters and decreased
agricutural output in the wake of massive social reorganization caused China's death rate to rise sharply and its
fertility rate to fall by almost half.
1. How many people did the world's population increase between 1959 and 1999 ?
A. 3 billion B. 6 billion C. 40 million D 9 billion

A. increased rapidly B. decreased C. was steady D. was unchangeable
* Passage 5 :
The New Year is an event that happens when a cuture celebrates the end of one year and the begining
of the next year. Cultures that measure yearly calendars all have New Year celebrations.

* Passage 6 :
As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were
reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch settlers to
New York in the early 18th century. Traditionally, Santa Claus - from the Dutch Sinter Klaas - was depicted as a
tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the air. Known as Saint Nicholas in Germany, he
was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North America he
eventually developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious attributes of Saint Nicholas
nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter.
Santa's transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem " A Visit from
Saint Nicholas ", which Clemen Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The poem introduced many
Amercians to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housestops in a reindeer-drawn sleigh. Portraits and
drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened the legend during the second
half of the 19th century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the modern Santa produced and
delivered toys to all good children. By the late 19th century, he had become such a prominent figure of
American folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O'Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun newspaper asking if Santa
was real, she received a direct answer : " Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus ".
