This passage is about teenage vegetarianism. Read it carefully and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on the
answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
More and more teenagers are choosing not to eat meat, poultry or fish and are becoming vegetarians.
However, they are often faced with pressure both from their parents, who are concerned about their health
and want them to change their minds, and from many of their peers, who find their choice odd. Probably
the most frequent questions teenage vegetarians are asked have to do with the nutritional adequacy of
their food choices, especially considering that adolescents are still growing and therefore have special
dietary needs.
However, the truth is that a vegetarian diet can safely be enjoyed by people of all ages. The key to a
healthy vegetarian diet is variety. Just as you should be concerned if your child only eats hamburgers,
you should also worry if they only eat potato chips and salad. A healthy, varied vegetarian diet includes
fruits, vegetables, plenty of leafy greens, whole grain products, nuts, seeds and legumes. Some
vegetarians also choose to eat dairy products and eggs.
Teenage vegetarians have nutritional needs just like any other teenager. The years between 13 and 19
are a period of particularly rapid growth and change; therefore, nutritional needs are high during these
years. Vegetarian teens that follow a varied diet rarely have any difficulty getting enough protein as long
as their diet contains enough energy (calories) to support teenage growth. Cow’s milk and low-fat cheese
are high in protein; but beans, bread, cereals, nuts, peanut butter, tofu, and soy milk are also foods that are
especially good sources.
Question 31: What is the purpose of this passage?
A. to advise young people about what is right and wrong
B. to describe a new dietary trend amongst adolescents
C. to warn parents about a dangerous trend
D. to recommend that all teens change their eating habits
Question 32: According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Vegetarianism has been gaining popularity among teenagers.
B. Vegetarian teenagers have different nutritional needs from their peers.
C. Vegetarian teenagers have more health problems than their peers.
D. A vegetarian diet should only be followed by adults.
Question 33: In the second sentence of the second paragraph, what does variety refer to?
A. the varied benefits of a vegetarian diet
B. the kinds of junk food consumed by children
C. the different types of food a diet should include
D. people of different ages
Question 34: What does the writer advise vegetarian teenagers to do?
A. include eggs and milk in their diet B. eat what most of their peers eat
C. ensure their diet is varied and nutritious D. avoid cow’s milk and other dairy products
Question 35: Where would you most likely come across this article?
A. in an encyclopedia B. in a health magazine aimed at parents
C. on the front page of a school newspaper D. in a pediatric journal

This passage is about cosmetic surgery. Read it carefully and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on the answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
Unlike many other industries, cosmetic surgery is booming, seemingly unaffected by the economic
crisis or anything else, for that matter. More than 10 billion dollars each year is spent on cosmetic
surgery, with 91% of patients being women, and the number keeps on rising.
Whether we are prepared to admit it or not, physical appearance is believed to be more important than
ever before, especially among today’s youth. Greater numbers of young women are going under the knife,
which goes directly against the belief that most cosmetic surgery is done to keep older women looking
young. It seems there is a new wave of perfection seekers, women who are not overweight, but want to
get rid of an inch or two off their thighs, or people who see a small imperfection as something gigantic
and unbearable.

 However, many potential patients fail to understand the risks involved in undergoing any surgery,
including cosmetic surgery: results are not guaranteed. In other words, those considering cosmetic surgery
should be careful what they wish for. They may get rid of the fat in one area only to have it return in
another, and end up looking far worse overall.
But perhaps the most serious psychological consequence of cosmetic surgery, and the reason potential
patients should really think twice about it, is the disappointment that results when their life does not
magically change afterwards. Some people believe that the only reason they are unhappy is because of
their big nose. How sad they are when their nose is perfect but they are still as unhappy as they ever were!
Question 36: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. to compare different types of cosmetic surgery
B. to examine why young people want to change their appearance
C. to explain that cosmetic surgery can be ineffective
D. to support the increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery
Question 37: How does the writer explain the increase in the number of cosmetic surgeries?
A. Undergoing cosmetic surgery is cheaper than it used to be.
B. Ideas of beauty are being taken more seriously.
C. More women feel that they are looking their age.
D. Obesity rates among women are rising.
Question 38: According to the passage, what don’t many patients realize about cosmetic surgery?
A. It isn’t always successful. B. It may be life threatening.
C. It may not correct the areas patients want to. D. It’s more risky than other types of surgery.
Question 39: In the first sentence of the fourth paragraph, what does it refer to?
A. the most serious psychological consequence B. undergoing cosmetic surgery
C. the disappointment patients may feel D. life after cosmetic surgery
Question 40: What does the example of the nose tell us?
A. that a person’s problems may have little to do with their appearance
B. that one facial feature can destroy a person’s entire life
C. that some people will never look perfect, no matter what they do
D. that cosmetic surgery is not always successful

Tara has many pen pals throughout the world, including you! This is an email that she sent to all of
you recently. Read it and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 11 to 20.
Hello everyone!
Sorry to have been out of touch for so long. Everything's been terribly busy with the preparations for
my sister's wedding. Today was an unusual winter day – almost as warm as spring or fall, and we're all
hoping the good weather will continue for the wedding day. I can't believe it's in three days’ time! It's fun
being the maid of honor, but lots of work. I had to throw a wedding shower, organize the bachelorette
party and I was also in charge of the bridesmaids’ dresses. Who needs six bridesmaids? When I get
married, I'm going to avoid all this hustle and bustle by running away with the groom. Or perhaps I'll
just have something cozy, and only invite my closest friends and family. I'm certainly not going to so
much trouble. Sometimes I think I’m more stressed out than the bride is!
Back to my sister's event: luckily her husband-to-be comes from a wealthy background and his family
is covering the cost of the party afterwards. They're having a huge dinner and dance on a ship (groom's
mother's idea). The wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner are taking place tomorrow evening, but only
those directly involved in the wedding and the members of the two families will be present. We'll be
going through what we're supposed to do on the big day, sample the menu that's been chosen and rehearse
our speeches. Oh that reminds me; I still need to work on mine. I'm not accustomed to being the center
of attention so I could really use the practice. Any last-minute advice to offer?
Trang 1/6 - Mã đề thi 132
 Please feel free to write back as soon as you can, but I won't be able to answer you till this whole event
is over and things start getting back to normal. I feel like I'm drowning. Boy, do I miss the boredom of my
everyday life!
Bye for now,
Tara

BART’S SOUP KITCHEN
Help Feed the City’s Hungry
It is a sad but true fact that more than 30 million Americans go to bed hungry every night. What’s
even more heart-breaking is that a third of them are young children living in households which are
facing “food insecurity". This term was coined to describe families who do not have enough money to
meet basic food needs. In other words, these people are going through hunger and malnutrition in what
ironically is one of the world’s wealthiest countries.
However, there is something that we can do about this situation if everyone makes an effort. We at
Bart’s Soup Kitchen believe that it is the responsibility of “the haves" to make sure “the have-nots” are
fed and taken care of. With the American economy almost as weak as it was in the Depression of the
1930s, the need for assistance is increasing every day. This means that we need more help from the
community.
Anyone can help, as long as they are in good health and are willing to commit themselves. Remember,
you may be a volunteer, but you need to treat this like a real job. Dozens of people are counting on you
to show up and perform your duties. We need cooks, cleaners, servers, dishwashers and drivers for our
soup kitchen. But we also need people to help sort out clothing donations and qualified accountants to
assist us with our records. It doesn’t matter what you can do; the most important quality you need is the
willingness to help your fellow human beings together with a few hours a week to spare.

 If your schedule does not permit you to volunteer, consider making a cash donation. Not surprisingly,
lack of funds is our most serious problem. No amount is too small, as we are always struggling to cover
the costs of supplies such as cleaning agents and paper plates, not to mention rent and utility bills. We
also operate a shelter for the homeless where they can find a place to sleep on cold winter nights.
Remember, we are a non-governmental agency which operates solely through the generosity of donations
from the community.
What do you get in return? The fulfillment of seeing the happy expression on a hungry person’s face as
they enjoy a hot, nutritious meal is indescribable, and most volunteers agree that helping those in need is
more rewarding than anything else that you will do in your life.
