IV. READING:
There are many proverbs about friends and friendship, such as “True friendship is like sound
health; the value of its seldom known until it is lost”, and “ A real friend is someone who walks in
when the rest of the world walks out”. When you read these quotes, stop and think about your
friendship. Do you and your friends act in a caring way towards one another, do you respect them
and do they respect you, but most of all do you valuethe relationship and love spending time
together? Friendship is more than just hanging out together at lunch and gossiping about other
people. True friendship is when two people have mutual respect for one another, and really care
about the other’s feelings and dreams. You need to be honest with your friends. If there is ever a
time where you feel that you can’t tell them the truth, for fear that they will be mad or will not
understand, then they are not true friends. Friends share with each other important things that they
wouldn’t share with others. Friends also care about each other, stick up one another and enjoy
spending time together.

C. have lunch and gossip D. trust, respect and share
As you grow and mature your friends may change, but that doesn’t mean
that you have to do away with your old friends, your relationships may
change though. Pay close attention to the different types of friends you
have had- the way your friends treat you, what sort of things you can talk
about, and the things you like to do. Soon you will see what qualities in a
friend are most important to you. Not everyone values openess or honesty,
when others look for an extraordinarily caring individual as a friend.
Whatever it is that you value most, make sure that your needs as well as
your friends are being met. If you are feeling neglected or mistreated by a
"friend" then you need to look more closely at this relationship. Friendship
should bring you joy not misery. Find out what you want out of a
friendship, and try not to be overtaken by those around you who are not
yet mature enough to commit to a true friendship.
___(138)____ you grow and mature your friends may change, but that doesn’t mean that you
have to ___(139)____ away with your old friends, your relationship may change though.

Friendship is a big statement. Lots of people are lovers but are not friends. Lots of people are
relatives and are not friends. Lots of people who work together are not friends. You can appreciate
or admire someone, but that doesn’t not mean that you make him or her a friend.
When I had my near-death illness last year and the following long recuperation. I had a lot of
time to think about what makes someone a friend. If they are scared of you when you need help,
sorry, that is not frindship. If their attitude is “for better or worse”, if they stick to you through
troubles and difficulties, it is the time when you can tell it is true friendship. I do have some
friends, but not as many as I thought. And there was a time, in the late 80s when my friend, Ken,
really needed me but I didn’t come through for him. I remember hanging out in my happy
suburban house in Menlo Park, and not coming to help him through the loss of his wife. Luckily, I
got to apologize for that but Ken said he did not mind.
I don’t have a tidy answer about Ken and me and friendship. Sometimes we were friends, and
other times, clearly not. But I guess there is something remarkable in two people overcoming the
barriers to friendship to find some real communication at some point.
148. According to the writer ____________.
A. all lovers are friends B. all your relatives are also your friends.

C. we should have as many friends as possible
D. friends are scared of helping each other.
150. What happened to the writer last year?
A. his wife passed away B. he was seriously ill
C. he had an ineteresting experience D. he had got some new friends.
151. We can learn from the text that ____________.
A. the writer had a house in suburb in Menlo Park.
B. the writer came to help his friend, Ken, when his wife died.
C. whenever his friend, Ken, had problems the writer immediately came to help.
D. the writer and Ken are true friends at all time.
152. The writer didn’t come to help Ken ______________.
A. so Ken was very angry B. and he didn’t apologize

A number of colloquial terms have been used to describe friendship and the context in which a

It’s been over 2 years now, but I still remember every detail of that day. It was a
beautiful warm sunny clear sky day. I had to go to work and then had class at Hunter College
that night. Little did I know what would wait me that morning. When I got off my car, I
found that the building was being evacuated and no one could tell me why. I could not find
anyone that I worked with. There were hundreds of people just gathering around. No one
knew exactly what had happened. Then someone said that there was a timing bomb in the
building and the police were trying to dispose it. I thought that I should have turned around
and tried to go home but a police officer forced us to keep our place. They were looking for
the terrorists. Suddenly the building exploded in a burst of white clouds of billowing smoke
and slowly started to collapsed downwards. The same officer who had directed us to stand
there now shouted, “run” and we did. But not fast or far enough. We all were caught in the
debris fallout. Most of us made it out, some did not. The world went totally black and
soundless, I never heard the building fall, I could not see, not hear, nor feel, just smell and
taste were left. I couldn’t breathe or think, nothing, the world just disappeared in an instant. I
eventually made it out and went home, but I have ever been the same since. I lost a major
part of my life that day, my girlfriend, Lisa.

I will never forget it, the time when I first worked as a teacher. On the first day of my
career, I really wanted to make a good impression on my students, so I made a good
preparation for everything and I had chosen my best clothes. My students seem to listen to
me attentively but they really looked at me with a funny look on their face, but I dismissed
these thoughts from my head and try to explain the lesson as well as possible.
Before getting into my car, I stopped to use the restroom down the hall. When I looked
at my reflection in the mirror, I almost died. All over the front of me, in my hair and on my
purse was a white chalky substance that wouldn’t come off. The harder I tried to rub it, the
grayer and dirtier it looked. I was absolutely mortified, thinking about the first impression I
had made. I bracked my brains to think of what I could have gotten all over me and how
could I have not noticed it before I went into the meeting? Then I realized what had
happened.
We are renovating our house, and the dry wall had just been sanded. I must have put
my purse down in a big pile of dust from the dry wall. Then I probably picked it up, hugged
it against my chest as I went to work. I just stood in the restroom, staring at the mirror,
horrified. I wondered what those students must have thought about me. What a first
impression I had just made!

TABLE MANNERS IN JAPAN

In Japan, it is not uncommon in private households and in certain restaurants to share
several dishes of food at the table rather than serving each person with his/her individual
dish. In such a case, you are supposed to move some food from the shared plates onto your

own plate by yourself, using the opposite end of your chopsticks (if you have used them
already) or with special chopsticks that may be provided for that purpose.
Some Table Rules
 Blowing your nose in public, and especially at the table, is considered a bad manner.
 It is considered good manner to empty your dishes to the last grain of rice.
 Talking about toilet related and similarly disappetizing topics during or before a
meal is not appreciated by most people.
 Unlike in some other parts of East Asia, it is considered bad manner to burp.
 After finishing eating, try to place all your dishes in the same way as they were at
the start of the meal. This includes replacing the lid of dishes which came with a lid and
replacing your chopsticks on the chopstick holder or into their paper slip, if applicable.
Drinking Rules:
 When drinking alcoholic beverages, it is a Japanese custom to serve each other,
rather than pouring the beverage into one’s own glass. You are supposed to periodically

if someone wants to serve you more alcohol, you should quickly empty your glass and hold it
towards that person.

for a drinking salute.

IV. READING:
The United Nations has proclaimed December 1st as World AIDS Day, December 3rd
International Day of Disabled Persons, and December 5th as the International Volunteer Day.
For the last few years, in early December, organizations that involve disabled people and
various agencies have organized meetings and exchange programmes to mark the three days
in Vietnam.
This year UN agencies, the Hanoi Disabled People’s Association and similar
organizations will hold an exchange programme called “For the Love of Life” on December

response to the call of the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the
Pacific(UNESCAP).
The program is for people such as disabled people, people living with HIV / AIDS and
enthusiastic volunteers who are actively supporting the disadvantaged ones as well as serving
in other development areas. It is also aimed at enhancing the competence of the Hanoi
Diabled People’s Association and disabled people’s organizations.

and branches, ambassadors, representatives from international and non-governmental
organizations, disabled people, people living with HIV / AIDS; national and international

weeks to travel independently before returning to London to evaluate the program and get
their flight back to the United States.

IV. READING

The lack of widespread basic __(141)__ poses a fundamental challenge for developing
nations. Extensive literacy campaigns by international agencies such as the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) and other public and private
organizations have raised literacy __(142)__ worldwide. According to UNESCO, literacy
rates increased form about 60 __(143)__ of the world’s population in 1970 to 77,4 percent in
1995. However, due to the rapid increase of the world’s overall population, the number of
illiterate people has __(144)__ grown. UNESCO estimates that in 1995 an estimated 885
million adults worldwide did not have basic reading and writing skills. The problem is
particularly acute in sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Asia, and the Middle East, areas
__(145)__ literacy rates averaged below 60 percent in 1995. UNESCO has shown that
illiteracy accompanies poverty, low life expectancy, political oppression, and
underdevelopment. In areas where such conditions occur, literacy rates are even lower among
women and ethnic minorities.

142. A. rates B. speeds C. manners D.numbers

Education in Bolivia, as in many areas of Bolivian life, has a divide between Bolivia’s
rural and urban areas. Rural illiteracy levels remain high, even as the rest of the country
becomes increasingly literate. This disparity stems partly from the fact that many children
living in rural areas are forced to contribute economically to their family households and thus
are much less likely to attend school. On average, children from rural areas attend school for
4.2 years, while children in urban areas receive an average of 9.4 years of education. A
gender divide also exists. Females, on average, receive about 1.5 years less schooling than
males. The female illiteracy rate is 19.6 % while that for males is 7.4%. The country’s
illiteracy level as a whole, 13 – 14%, is comparably higher than in other South American
countries. The problems with Bolivian education are not necessarily attribytable to lack of
funding. Bolivia devotes 23% of its annual budget to educational expenditures, a higher
percentage than in most other South American countries, albeit from a smaller national
budget. A comprehensive, seven – year plan of education reform has made some significant
changes. Initiated in 1994, the plan decentralized educational funding in order to meet
diverse local needs, improved teacher training and curricula, and changed the school grade
system. Resistance from teachers’ unions, however, has slowed implementation of some of
the intended reforms.
146. Most of the children in rural areas in Bolivia are illiterate because ____________.
A. they don’t want to go to school
B. they are made to stay at home to help their families.
C. they find it difficult to learn read and write.

149. The word “annual” in this message is closest in meaning to ____________.

A. In Bolivia males receive more schooling than females.
B. Bolivian illiteracy level is higher than in other South American countries.
C. The lack of funding is the main reason for causing illiteracy in Bolivia.
D. Boliviaa spends less money on education than most other South American countries.

Direct attacks on illiteracy take two main forms, adult education and the establishment
of public schools with compulsory attendance for children. In many countries, there are
certain programs which have been instituted to fight adult illiteracy, and universal public
education has almost eliminated illiteracy among the young. Soldiers have been appointed
effectively as instructors for the public.
Throughout most of history most people have been illiterate. In former society, the
ability to read and write was of value only to the clergy and aristocracy. The first known
reference to “literate laymen” didn’t appear until the end of the 14 th century. Illiteracy wasn’t
seen as a problem until after the invention of printing in the 15 th century. The first significant
decline in illiteracy came with the Reformation, when translation of the Bible into the
vernacular became widespread and Protestant converts were taught to read it. Revolutionary
political movements from the 18th to the 20th century generally included an attack on illiteracy
as one of their goals, with the former Soviet Union, China, and Cuba being among the most
successful in the 20th century.

[1] The topic in class that night was the question of why the illiteracy rate among local
women was so high. That night, Huyet and her classmates learned that poverty, large families
and a priority to send boys to school instead of girls were the reasons for the inequality.
[2] She added that there were many difficulties, one of which was the fact that curricula
hadn’t been compiled and the classroom was shared with the primary school. “However, it
was all made worthwhile because my students, the youngest of whom is 15 and the oldest 50,
are all fond of their studies and they are all serious about learning how to read and write,” she
smiled.
[3] HA GIANG __ It was 5pm and darkness was quickly approaching in the
mountainous district of Vi Xuyen in northern Ha Giang Province. Lang Thi Huyet, a 24 year
old Tay ethnic monority woman, hurried to finish her working day so she could rush to her
anti-illiteracy class in Thuan Hoa commune beginning at 7pm.
[4] The classes are organized and strutured according to the needs of the people. The
teachers teach them what they want to know and what they consider most important. “For
instance, if they want to plant corn, we will show them how to read and write the word corn,
and then show them the best way to plant it, and then teach them the many kinds of corn,”
said Huyet, “By doing this, teachers don’t have a set curriculum but instead base their lessons
on what the people need”.

Competition is a factor ineducation. On a global scale, national education systems,
intending to bring out the best in the next generation, encourage competitiveness among
students by scholarships. Countries like Singapore and England have a special education
program which caters to special students, promting charges of academic elitism. Upon receipt
of their academic results, students tend to compare their grades to see who is better. For
servere cases, the pressure to perfrom in some countries is so high that it results in
stigmatization of intellectually deficient students or even suicide as consequence of failing
the exams, Japan being a prime example. This has resulted in critical revaluation of
examinations as a whole by educationists. Critics of competition as opposed to excellence as
a motivating factor in education systems, such as Alfie Kohn, assert that competition actually
has a net negative influence on the achivement levels of students and that it “turns all of us
into losers.”
Competitions also make up a large proponent of extracurricular activities that students
partake in. Such competitions include TVO’s broadcast Reach for the Top competition,
FIRST Robotics, Duke Annual Robo-Climb Competition(DARC) and the University of
Toronto Space Design Contest.
194. What do national education systems encourage among students?

A. England has a special educational programme promting charges of academic elitism.
B. The pressure to compete in some countries is very high.
C. Some students even suicide when they fialed the exam.
D. There are many kinds of competitions in the world.
Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, but many coaches believe that it is
possible for anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants
don’t run a marathon to win. More important 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 barriers. For example, ambitious recreational 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 times is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a break 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.

III. READING:
Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.
Mexico City is the oldest and most historical capital city in North America. It’s an exciting,
beautiful and magical city, which for the past few years has been fighting against serious
environmental problems. It has a population of over 22 million people and it’s getting better all the
time. It’s more than three times bigger than New York City and it’s the largest city in the world. Every
day, thousands of people move in from the country to look for work, but there aren’t enough jobs for
all of them, and the result is extrememly high unemployment and overpopulation.
A. Find words in the text which mean:
1. (prep) more than: ________________
2. the noun from unemployed: ________________.
3. (n) too full of people: _____________________.
B. Complete the sentnces with ONE word.
1. The world is overpopulated. There are too many __________________.
2. There’s a lot of unemployment. There aren’t enough __________________.
The population of the world has increased more in modern times in all other ages of history
combined. World population totaled about 500 million in 1650. It doubted in the period from 1650-
1850. Today the population is more than five billion. Estimates based on research by the United
Nations indicate that it will more than double in the twenty-five years between 1915 and the year
2000, reaching seven billion by the turn of the century.
No one knows the limits of population that the erath can support. Thomas Malthus, an English
economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested
that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than the food supply, a continual strain
was exerted upon available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics, and other disasters as
the usual limitations of population growth.
With recent advances in science and technology, including improved agricultural methods and
great strides in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessenced, with
obvious results. International organizations have put forward several recommendations to alleviate the
problem of overpopulation, including an increase in food production, general economic development
in target areas, and a decrease in birth rates. Most exoerts agree that it will be necessary to combine all
three recommendations in an effort to affect a lasting solution.
A. Answer the questions.
1. According to the passage, how much is the earth’s population estimated to reach by the turn
of the century?
 _______________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________.
2. According to the passage, why has overpopulation been caused?
 _______________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________.
3. According to Malthus, what could be the usual limitations of population growth?
