Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase that
best fits each of the numbered blanks.
     You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the
assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask
questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after
class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the
particular homework assignment should take to complete so you can plan your time.
     Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have
libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more
work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
     Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how much
you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students
should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will
need to devote more time to homework.
      No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to
turn for help is your teacher. But what if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in
a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other
teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain
something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some help from another
student. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person if you
can study together.
28.        The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment may be
________.
A. to know when you hand it in
B. to understand it and its requirements
C. to know how long it takes to complete it
D. to remember it in order to plan the time
29.        If you have any free time left at school, you should ________.
A. use it to do your homework in the library
B. spend time with your friends
C. use it to understand the assignment
D. use it to make your day planner
30.        When students need some help, they should________.
A. never ask other teachers for help
B. always turn to their own teachers for help
C. ask any good students at the subject in your school
D. go to their teachers or other teachers teaching the same subject
31.        The main idea of the first three paragraphs is ________.
A. to get help when you need it

     From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes in the majority of countries
around the world. Substantial differences are evident between the way we live today, and the way
we lived a century ago. Vietnam is no exception although there are some aspects of life in Vietnam
that are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
        Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the past
mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly fewer people working in this

agricultural, is transforming into an entirely different country. While agriculture is still an important
component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for an increasing amount
of economic activity.
        However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept many
of characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as they were in
the past. This is best illustrated in the way they welcome foreigners. Moreover, the determination of
the people of Vietnam has not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the
development of their country.
        To conclude, while there are differences in past and present lifestyles, there are important
similarities. Although Vietnam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and always will
be, the friendly welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.

Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as
gesture of good will. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had more practical
purposes.
     Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he
would often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon
to defend himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling around each other, weapons in
hand, until it was mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside. Then the two parties
extended their right hands to show they had no weapons, and clasped them. This was the beginning
of the handshake.
      The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the orient, people have for centuries,
clasped their own in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no weapons. In France, a
custom developed in which people who met would kiss each other on both cheeks. The natives of

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
In the 1960s, it took pop and rock groups one or two days to record their songs. Nowadays, it can
take months and months. Many rock groups begin by recording only one instrument, for example,
the voice. Then they record other instruments- electric piano, synthesizer, guitars, drums and so on.
Next, they might use a computer to add special effects. Finally, they ‘mix’ all the instruments
until they get the sound that they want. This means that a CD or cassette will always sound very
different from a live concert.
Music engineers have developed a new computer programme that will change the future of
music. A computer can analyse a singer’s voice. Then if you give the computer the lyrics and music
of a song, the computer can ‘sing’ it in that voice. This means that a singer only needs to record one
song and the computer can then sing other songs in the singer’s own voice. Singers can sing new
songs many years after they have died.
Most of us listen to music for pleasure, but for the record companies, music is a product, the
same as soap powder. When a record company finds a new group (or ‘band’), they first try to
develop the band’s ‘profile’. They will try to create an ‘image’ for the band that they think will
attract young people. Instead of allowing the band’s full artistic freedom, they will often tell the
band what they should wear, what they should say and how they should sing and play.
In recent year, many rock groups have started their own record companies because they say that
the big companies are too commercial.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your
money back. From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send...” and so on? Of
course, it never happens quite like that. One’s mother language is easier to learn, but it also requires
a lot of practice to be fluent. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War,
people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.
        Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of
people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try it at home, with books and records of
tapes; some use radio or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to
evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, it will take a long time, like
learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn the language fast by studying for 6
or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.
However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language
in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read
books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is
hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.
28.        According to some advertisements, you _______.
A. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks
B. needn’t pay your money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks

D. will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks
29.        Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to         _______.
A. read the literature of the country        B. read books and reports
C. do their work better        D. go to foreign countries
30.        The best way to learn a foreign language is _______.
A. to go to the country where the language is spoken
B. to use machines and good books
C. to go to evening classes
D. to do as the advertisements tell you to
31.        Learning a foreign language is a hard job _______.
A. only for scientists and doctors        B. only for the students at school

If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these general rules for
polite behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time but not early. Americans expect
promptness. It will be all right to be 10 or 15 minutes late but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be
over - cooked and ruined by then. When you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it is polite
to bring a small gift. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive thing made
in your native country, your host or hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that gift. What will you
do if you are served some food that you cannot eat or you do not like? Do not make a fuss about it.
Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices it. Be sure to compliment the cook on the
food that you are enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not overstay your

SIMPLE WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT ON A BUDGET
Plan to Cook at Home
    Instead of buying costly prepared meals, which often tend to be high in calories, cook your own
at home. Plan out our meals with high-fiber foods like beans and whole grains which will keep you
full and are a cheaper, healthier alternative to rich proteins and more processed grains.
Eat Less
            Eating less leads to weight loss, and cost savings, especially if you cut down on the right things.
Start by cutting your portions of spicy meat and poultry. Or swap out meat and poultry for cheaper
vegetarian proteins like beans, lentils, tofu and eggs for some of your meals.
Double Up on Vegetables
           Vegetables are great for weight loss, as well as all-around health. They are low in calories and
high in water and fiber – two things that keep you feeling full. Save cash by shopping for those that
are in season. Frozen vegetables can be a great bargain, with just as much nutrition as fresh, since
they are picked and frozen at their peak ripeness.
Get Creative with Your Exercise Options
           You don’t need to shell out a monthly gym fee to get moving. Instead, find fun activities you
enjoy for free. If you’re just getting started with a regular exercise routine, try your beginning with
daily walks: start slowly and build up time and speed.
Make Friends with Someone
           One of the most powerful resources you have for helping you lose weight is your social network.
Find a friend who is also trying to lose weight and agree to help each other stay motivated. One
study found that when friends participated in a group weight-loss programme together, they lost
more weight than people who did the same programme on their own.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
                When many people think of women in Asian culture, they think of a male dominated
society where women don’t have as many rights as their male counterparts. However, the Filipino
are different. Filipino women have always enjoyed greater equality than women in other nations in
Southeast Asia.
                For starters, Filipino women today serve as heads in the family arrangement, handing the
money, acting as religious mentors and even arranging marriages for their sons and daughters. This
is a sharp contrast to women being subjugated to their husbands.
                This does not mean that they have equality everywhere. In the workplace, Filipino women
are paid less and are often hired for lower positions even if they are qualified to earn more money.
On the home front, women carry a heavy burden in the homes in order to support them financially
while men keep their money and are not obligated to the family.
                Thankfully, strides are being made to equalize this perception of inequality. Human
Resources Managements are seeing to it that a lot more women hold high ranking positions in large
and small organizations. More women are holding managerial positions in banks, government, and
multinational companies.
                Even though they have had a female president, involvement in politics is not considered
women’s business, and many women still hold to the tradition that a woman cannot take a higher
position than her husband. Part of this mindset is due to the effect of colonization on Filipino
women.
                Like women in many parts of the world, Filipino women have had to fight for their proper
place in their society. They have worked hard to extend themselves beyond the confines of their
homes and show that they have the strength and power to control business and politics.
8.        In order to have equality in every sector in society, women have to _________.
A. vote a female president
B. fight for their proper place
C. work hard in the family
D. control business and politics
9.        The inequality at home is that         _________.
A. women serve as the head of the family
B. women earn money to support themselves
C. men earn more support the family and keep the money
D. both women and men work but men keep the money
10.        Women don’t enjoy equality at work because _________.
A. they are paid less for the same jobs as men
B. they are always hired for lower positions
C. they don’t have enough qualifications
D. they carry a heavy burden in the homes
11.        Due to the effect of colonization on Filipino women, they _________.
A. hold the position of a President
B. hold high ranking in business
C. hold a lower position than her husband’s
D. hold managerial positions in multinational companies
12.        All of the following are true about Filipino women today EXCEPT that _________.

B. they have an important role in politics
C. they arrange marriages for their sons and daughters

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

When many people think of women in Asian culture, they think of a male dominated society
where women don’t have as many rights as their male counterparts. However, the Filipino are
different. Filipino women have always enjoyed greater equality than women in other nations in
Southeast Asia.
        For starters, Filipino women today serve as heads in the family arrangement, handing the
money, acting as religious mentors and even arranging marriages for their sons and daughters. This
is a sharp contrast to women being subjugated to their husbands.
        This does not mean that they have equality everywhere. In the workplace, Filipino women are
paid less and are often hired for lower positions even if they are qualified to earn more money. On
the home front, women carry a heavy burden in the homes in order to support them financially
while men keep their money and are not obligated to the family.
        Thankfully, strides are being made to equalize this perception of inequality. Human Resources
Managements are seeing to it that a lot more women hold high ranking positions in large and small
organizations. More women are holding managerial positions in banks, government, and
multinational companies.
        Even though they have had a female president, involvement in politics is not considered
women’s business, and many women still hold to the tradition that a woman cannot take a higher
position than her husband. Part of this mindset is due to the effect of colonization on Filipino
women.
        Like women in many parts of the world, Filipino women have had to fight for their proper
place in their society. They have worked hard to extend themselves beyond the confines of their
homes and show that they have the strength and power to control business and politics.
8.        In order to have equality in every sector in society, women have to _________.
A. vote a female president
B. fight for their proper place
C. work hard in the family
D. control business and politics
9.        The inequality at home is that         _________.
A. women serve as the head of the family
B. women earn money to support themselves
C. men earn more support the family and keep the money
D. both women and men work but men keep the money
10.        Women don’t enjoy equality at work because _________.
A. they are paid less for the same jobs as men
B. they are always hired for lower positions
C. they don’t have enough qualifications
D. they carry a heavy burden in the homes
11.        Due to the effect of colonization on Filipino women, they _________.
A. hold the position of a President
B. hold high ranking in business
C. hold a lower position than her husband’s
D. hold managerial positions in multinational companies
12.        All of the following are true about Filipino women today EXCEPT that _________.

B. they have an important role in politics
C. they arrange marriages for their sons and daughters
D. they help their children with religious matters

each of the questions.
THE VANISHING INVENTION
           In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla
discovered how to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from
Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to
break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and
the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature. This impressive technology is based on the way
plant enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although
rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet.
           Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology.
There is no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the Internet, apart from a list of similar
inventions which have also vanished. An inventor from the Philippines called Daniel Dingel
developed a water- fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. If this
technology were to become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners
and would also save the planet from the impending environmental catastrophes.

Education System of Vietnam in the past
        Because of 1,000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated a
formal education system in Vietnam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders
and declared Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh, did not last so
long, and were busy with the national defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan,
the founder king of the Ly dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
        To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly
Thanh Tong established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage
people to appreciate the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan
Tong to select scholars for the office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first
university in Vietnam’s history, was set up for the education of sons of royalty and other high-
ranking officials.
        There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le
Quy Don, Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan... The students would only
study literature and ancient history of China, and Vietnam for entirety of their schooling. Later on,
the Public Administration curriculum was finally added to the programme. When the Ho Royal
family ruled the country, students were taught simple mathematics.
        From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam’s education programme adopted the western education system
with three levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese
national language is officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history,
philosophy, law, science, math, medicine and other languages.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and one of
the most popular is undoubtedly sausage.
        To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using various
animal parts. Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that wouldn’t be served in
their original forms can be used. Literally, this means animal parts such as noses, ears, and other
less appetizing areas of an animal’s body. Very often, the ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a
certain percentage of fat, along with spices and other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat
mixture is then stuffed into the cleaned intestines of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends.
The result is sausage.
        The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are by far
the favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered a delicacy.
When sausages are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour. While boiling is
probably the simplest method, smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky flavour.
        Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it
became the tasty thing you are eating. After all, you don’t want to ruin a good snack.
8.        What are by far the favourite meats for making sausages?
A. Chicken        B. Horse meat        C. Cuts of lamb        D. Beef and pork
9.        What is the simplest method of cooking sausages?
A. Grilling        B. Smoking        C. Boiling        D. Baking
10.        What won’t be served in their original forms?
A. Certain cuts and parts of animals        B. Spices and fillers
C. Sausages of all types        D. Intestines of an animal
11.        What advice is given in the passage?
A. Be careful when making sausages.
B. Don’t think too much about what you are eating when eating sausages.
C. Try not to use too much fat in the meat mixture when making sausages.
D. Make sure intestines are cleaned before packing with meat.

I didn’t even notice him. It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter
and I were walking up Broadway. I was thinking, “Milk, dry cleaners, home?” Was I supposed to
notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to newsstand? No, but Nora did she wasn’t even
four, but she pulled at my coat sleeve and said. “That man’s cold, daddy. Can we take him home?”
        I don’t remember my reply – probably something like. “That wouldn’t really be helping him”.
Maybe I made her feel better by giving her an apple. I don’t know. But I do remember a sudden
heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her
world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and
poverty.
        A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to
elderly people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food
package, and delivered it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was
excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable
our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to push myself to leave the house. On the
way to school, I fought an urge to turn back. The Sunday paper and my coffee were waiting at
home. Why do this? Still, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we’d been
assigned. She invited us right over. And that day Nora and I paid a visit to her depressing flat.
After saying goodbye, I walked home in tears.
        Professionals call such a visit a “volunteer opportunity”. Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I
helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the old woman’s alone – it was in our lives, too. Nora
and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve
watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder – which of us has benefited more?

When many people think of women in Asian culture, they think of a male dominated society
where women don’t have as many rights as their male counterparts. However, the Filipino are
different. Filipino women have always enjoyed greater equality than women in other nations in
Southeast Asia.
For starters, Filipino women today serve as heads in the family arrangement, handing the money,
acting as religious mentors and even arranging marriages for their sons and daughters. This is a
sharp contrast to women being subjugated to their husbands.
This does not mean that they have equality everywhere. In the workplace, Filipino women are
paid less and are often hired for lower positions even if they are qualified to earn more money. On
the home front, women carry a heavy burden in the homes in order to support them financially
while men keep their money and are not obligated to the family.
Thankfully, strides are being made to equalize this perception of inequality. Human Resources
Managements are seeing to it that a lot more women hold high ranking positions in large and small
organizations. More women are holding managerial positions in banks, government, and
multinational companies.
Even though they have had a female president, involvement in politics is not considered
women’s business, and many women still hold to the tradition that a woman cannot take a higher
position than her husband. Part of this mindset is due to the effect of colonization on Filipino
women.
Like women in many parts of the world, Filipino women have had to fight for their proper place
in their society. They have worked hard to extend themselves beyond the confines of their homes
and show that they have the strength and power to control business and politics.
15.        In order to have equality in every sector in society, women have to _________.
A. vote a female president
B. fight for their proper place
C. work hard in the family
D. control business and politics
16.        The inequality at home is that         _________.
A. women serve as the head of the family
B. women earn money to support themselves
C. men earn more support the family and keep the money
D. both women and men work but men keep the money
17.        Women don’t enjoy equality at work because _________.
A. they are paid less for the same jobs as men
B. they are always hired for lower positions
C. they don’t have enough qualifications
D. they carry a heavy burden in the homes
18.        Due to the effect of colonization on Filipino women, they _________.
A. hold the position of a President
B. hold high ranking in business

    If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents
make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail.
Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.

ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are

the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is
unwilling.

and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and

Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had to recover
from the ravages of war. Substantial progress was achieved from 1986 to 1997 in moving forward
from an extremely low level of development and significantly reducing poverty. Since 2001,
Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic liberalization and
international integration. They have moved to implement the structural reforms needed to
modernize the economy and to produce more competitive, export-driven industries.
             Vietnam’s membership in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and entry into force of the
US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001 have led to even more rapid changes in
Vietnam’s trade and economic regime. Vietnam’s exports to the US doubled in 2002 and again in
2003.
             Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following over a
decade long negotiation process. This should provide an important boost to the economy and
should help to ensure the continuation of liberalizing reforms.
Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labor force that is growing by
more than one million people every year. Vietnamese authorities have tightened monetary and fiscal
policies to stem high inflation. Hanoi is targeting an economic growth rate of 7.5 – 8% during the
next five years.

A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an
isolated village in Chad, about 500 kilometres from the capital N’Djamena. Coming from
a (6)________ country, I got quite a shock, as conditions were much harder than I had expected.
But after a few days I got used to (7)________ there. The people were always very friendly and
helpful, and I soon began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village (8)________ water. The well was a long walk away,
and the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards.
So I contacted the organisation and arranged to have some pipes delivered. (9)________ these pipes
were not really perfect, they still made a great difference to the villagers.
All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not paid, it was
well worth doing and I would recommend it to anyone (10)________ was considering working for a

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to-
each of the questions.
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? I If you have,
there is an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in
2023. Known as the Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to
colonize Mars. Those chosen people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as
there will not be a return trip.
             For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they
will be living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have
personalities that allow them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be
very spacious, so they will have to deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will
only be able to communicate with people back on the earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent
back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time communication. Even at the speed of light,
communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are
asking. There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the
mission a miserable score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream
to go to Mars, at least they can say there is a possibility that it could happen.

A. Almost immediately        B. About an hour
C. Around 20 minutes        D. Only a few seconds

A. The mission        B. The living quarters

B. A mission of astronauts to the ISS.
C. A crew on board of the Mars One Mission.
D. A score of the programme on the probability scale.
18.        Who might like to go on this mission?
A. People with angry personalities
B. People who don’t like to communicate
C. People who get along with others
D. People who get homesick easily

each
of the questions.
        Women in Britain are better off today than they used to be. At the beginning of the
19th century, women seem to have almost no rights at all. They could not vote, or even sign a
contract. Their marriages were arranged by their parents. They were once kept at home and if they
were allowed to work, they were never given responsible jobs. It is strange to think that, as far as
we know, most women were happy with that situation.
        Today the position is quite different. Women now can vote and choose their own husbands.
In 1970, a law was passed to give them an equal share of property in the case of divorce, and in the
same year the Equal Pay Act gave them the right to get equal payment with men for work of equal
value.
        Despite these changes, there is no doubt that there are still great differences in status between
men and women. Many employers seem to ignore the Equal Pay Act. It is also more difficult for a
woman to get promotion than a man does.
        There is sex distinction in England although it has not been so serious as it was. More and
more women go out to work, earn more money, get high positions in the society, and live
independently. However, there are two great problems to solve. The first problem is men’s attitude.
They always think that women are lower in rank and are the weaker sex. We do not know exactly
how long it will take them to change their mind. And the other problem which is much more
difficult is women’s attitude. They should be ready to struggle to change their fate.
15.        What is men’s attitude?
A. They consider women to be equal to them.
B. They always look up women.
C. They consider women the stronger sex.
D. They consider women the weaker sex.
16.        What should women do to eliminate sex distinction?
A. They should suffer with pleasure.
B. They should struggle to change their fate.
C. They should earn more money.
D. All are correct
17.        At the beginning of the 19th century, ________.
A. British women were better off than today.
B. Women seemed to have almost no rights at all.
C. British women had the right to vote.
D. British women had the right to choose their husbands.
18.        The Equal Pay Act was passed in ________.
A. 1960        B. 1962        C. 1970        D. 1971
19.        Which of these following sentences is NOT TRUE?
A. All the employers in Britain obey the Equal Pay Act.
B. In 1970, a law was passed to give British women the right to share property equally in the case of
divorce.
C. The Equal Pay Act gave British women the right to get equal payment with men for work of

In comparison with other developing countries, Vietnam’s population enjoys a relatively high
standard of education. In the past, Vietnam’s educational system was affected by many cultures, of
which the Chinese and French had most significant influence.
The Imperial Academy – the first university in Vietnam – was built in 1076 under Emperor Ly
Nhan Tong for the education of sons of royalty and other high ranking officials. In 1252, the college
was opened to students from various backgrounds.
Before the French came, the old-type Mandarin system administered Vietnam for
approximately 2,000 years. As the French took over the government’s administration, it was
converted from a Confucian system into a Western-oriented one.
In order to participate in the service under the French rule, the Vietnamese had to convert to the
French system and were required to know the French language. In addition, they had to have a good
facility with the new version of their language instead of the traditional Chinese characters which
had been in use for hundreds of years.
At the beginning of 1900, the whole system was revised. An educational system of three levels
was established; elementary, secondary, and infant education. In addition, the use of the national
language (Quoc Ngu) was added to the curriculum. Emphasis was placed on rote learning, class
discipline and other French educational methods. Several new schools and colleges were
established. Accordingly, French became the second language of much importance to the students.

A. the Confucian system was banned in the beginning

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious
part of a person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than
prey animals. Therefore, it is no wonder that when our ancient ancestors saw some tasty worms or
grubs wiggling on the ground, they made a quick snack of them.
        In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects
that people snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms. They are
often deep-fried and salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If
you can get past the fact that you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn
chip!
        For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to
see insects as invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to ear.
Therefore, being able to eat insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat
French cheese or stinky tofu because they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall
right into that category, making it difficult to even try them.
        If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you
can get over the “yuck” factor.
9.        Which is the reason given for gathering and eating insects?
A. They are very easy to find close to the home.
B. They are more nutritious than most vegetables.
C. They come in all shapes and sizes.
D. They are easier to catch than other prey animals.
10.        Why are deep-fried insects considered a perfect snack food?
A. Because they taste exactly like corn chips.
B. Because they don’t fill you up.
C. Because they have a crunchy texture.
D. Because they are not expensive.
11.        Which insects are not mentioned in the passage?
A. water bugs        B. grasshoppers        C. beetles        D. crickets
12.        Where are insects a regular part of the street food?
A. France        B. Thailand        C. Britain        D. All of the above

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might
give us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by Utrecht
University.  What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember is
wrong.
          Why do you think this is? Well, it’s not as complicated as you may think. You see, going to
the doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more
likely to focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with as
but have no idea what to do about it.
          Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any
important information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your
consultation. This way, you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it.
If you believe the situation is serious or you’re really worried, seek the help of a family member.
Just ask them to accompany you to listen in. This way you can be absolutely sure about what the
doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most people do.

published plans for a new hypersonic plane called the A2. It will be very fast. At the moment, a
flight from London in the UK to Sydney in Australia take about twenty-one hours but with the A2
the same flight will take about four hours. The flight will fly at 4,5000 kilometres per hour and will
fly at an altitude of over 10,000 metres. It will carry 300 passengers but it won’t have any windows
because scientists haven’t found glass that is strong enough. It will be better for the environment
than other planes because the engines won’t produce gases that cause pollution.
In the future, will people travel from London to Australia for the weekend? It’s possible! But

WORLD BBQ
To some people, there is nothing more appetizing than the smell of meat sizzling over an open
fire. Throughout the world, people love to eat barbecue because it lets them together with friends
and family to enjoy a meat that brings them back to their caveman roots. Cooking over coals or
an open flame makes people feel more sociable.
Most countries have barbecue traditions, and they usually take place on national holidays. In the
United States, it is a tradition to have a barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs on July 4, which is
Independence Day. In Taiwan, people get together to eat barbecue during the Moon Festival, and
the smell of burning coal is in the air all day.
In South America, and in Argentina in particular, barbecue is a way of life. All sorts of meats
and sausages are put on a large grill together over hot coals. Barbecue is even considered the
national dish in Argentina, and it is given the name asado in Portuguese. This means not only the
dish, but also the social event that surrounds an Argentina barbecue.
When a person speaks about Turkish and Middle Eastern barbecue, the kebab immediately
comes to mind. The tradition of taking different meats, and sometimes vegetables as well, and
spearing them with a sharp stick called a skewer has crossed cultural lines today. Practically,
anywhere in the English-speaking world, the thought of shish-kebab will make barbecue lovers’
mouths water.

TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY
                   One of the more difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of
funds. During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs,
but the money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away. For
example, traveling to Australia from Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to
a lot of students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.
                   For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they
are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-known
for offering them. When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the
round-trip airfare to get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once
he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money.
                   Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy
pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people are unlikely
to have, such as being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn’t
discourage you, though, because there is always something to be found if you search hard enough.
                   There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If
you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might
be just the ticket you were looking for.
20.        Where can people find working holidays advertised?
A. On the Internet        B. In magazines
C. On the radio        D. In travel guidebooks

A. Being able to get time off from school

22.        Why would a student NOT want to take a working holiday?
A. To show how fearful he is        B. To earn money
C. To see the world        D. To visit a new place
23.        Which students are in luck according to the passage?
A. The ones who have airline tickets
B. The ones who are on holiday
C. The ones who want to go to Australia and New Zealand
D. The ones who want have part-time jobs

In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village of Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional
craft of weaving flowered mats. The mat’s high quality makes them popular domestically, and they
are also exported to markets worldwide including Korea, Japan and America.
In spite of its well-established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started
here some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat
weaving village in the northern province of Ninh Binh. However, the technique of weaving sedge
mats in Long Dinh, as compared with other places in the South, is somewhat different. Long Dinh
branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs
during the dry season, from January to April. Weavers have to work their hardest in May and June,
otherwise, when the rainy season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their products till
the next dry season. No matter how much work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this
occupation, as it brings a higher income than growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000
households in Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long Dinh
mat weavers have created more products in addition to the traditional sedge mats. Particularly, they
are producing a new type of mat made from the dried stalks of water hyacinth, a common material
in the Mekong Delta.
Thanks to the planning and further investment, the mat weaving occupation has indeed brought
in more income for local residents. Their living standards have improved considerably, resulting in
better conditions for the whole village.

Located in the limestone mountains of Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, Son Doong Caves
was first found in 1991 by Ho Khanh, a local man. In 2009, the cave was explored and published by
a group of scientists from British Cave Research Association.
Son Doong Cave was formed from 2 to 5 million years ago, when the river flowed through the
limestone mountain area and was buried. The water eroded limestone and created an underground
tunnel. In soft limestone areas, the collapse of tunnel ceiling formed large holes which became giant
domes afterward. The cave is about 200m high, 200m wide and at least 8.5km long. Especially, Son
Doong consists of two entrances, which is unique among explored caves in Phong Nha – Ke Bang
National Park. Exploring the cave, visitors were surprised with spectacular scenery of numerous
stalactites of which some giant stalagmites are more than 70 metres high. Deep inside the cave
exists a grandiose tropical jungle called “Garden of Eden” by the explorers. The jungle is home to
diversified system of fauna and flora. Besides, the cave possesses a 2.5-kilometre underground
river. Not far from the “Garden of Eden” lies an enormous “pearl collection” consisting of tens of

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value the love
and worth of a friend when he has been taken from us by death more than when he was with us in
the flesh; it is only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our
opportunity of education, which has gone forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the
value of good health. When we are young and strong, we cannot imagine what it is like to be weak
and ill. We are so used to vigorous health that we take it for granted. The organs of our body work
so smoothly that we scarcely know we have lungs and liver, heart and stomach. But when any of
these gets upset and gives us pain and sickness, we learn by bitter experience what an unspeakable
blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes us miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples our
efforts so that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done. It
spoils our life. What must we do to keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple
food. Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when young, get
plenty of sleep, which is “nature’s sweet restorer”, and not try to burn the candle at both ends. We
must live as much as possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated. We must get
sufficient and regular physical exercise, and keep our bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits
and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and keep our thoughts clean and our bodies pure. Our ideal
must be the sound mind in the sound body.
20.        According to the passage, we often appreciate our friends _________.
A. only when they are with us
B. only when they are good to us.
C. only when they passed away

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an exercise bike.
Typically, people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them. They are
effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much
easier to go for a gentle jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You
don’t need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach.
The main thing is that they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in
the summer. There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money
on, and that’s your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for
something that will support your feet and protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if
they are good quality they will last you a long time. It’s always best to get expert advice, and the
best place for that is a sports shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do too much at the beginning –
especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for
ten minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to
increase the amount you do gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to run at a
reasonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week. It’s important that you feel
comfortable with whatever you do. If you do, you’ll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it.
If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad
habits. In any case, training too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who
exercise for twice as long or twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically become twice as
fit.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH IN TODAY’S WORLD
English was originally the language of England, and soon it has become the primary or
secondary language of many former British colonies such as the United States, Canada, Australia,
and India. Nowadays, it is the most international language in the world. There are several factors
that make the English language essential to communication in our current time.
First of all, it is the most common foreign language. This means that two people who come from
different countries (for example, a Mexican and a Swede) usually use English as a common
language to communicate. English is also essential to the field of education. In many countries,
children are taught and encouraged to learn English as a second language. At the university level,
students in many countries study almost all their subjects in English in order to make the material
more accessible to international students. On the Internet, the majority of websites are written and
created in English. Even sites in other languages often give you the option to translate the site. It is
the primary language of the press: more newspapers and books are written in English than in any
other language, and no matter where in the world you are, you will find some of these books and
newspapers available.
Although many people think that it is very difficult and confusing, English is actually the easiest
language of the world to learn because there are so many resources available. As soon as you decide
you want to learn, there are thousands of resources on the Internet and in bookstores. With good
understanding and communication in English, you can travel around the globe. Because it is the
international language for foreigners, it is easy to get assistance and help in every part of the world.
You can test it by online travel. Any travel booking site you can find will have English as a booking
option.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a
disaster. According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents
make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail.
Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are
very supportive of their child.
Michael is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to
concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers
twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays
the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is
unwilling.
Winston, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians,
and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and
so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win.
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and
unhappy.

A. his father is a musician
B. his parents are quite rich

A. push their child into trying too much
B. help their child to become a genius
C. make their child become a musician
D. neglect their child’s education
23.        Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they  _______.
A. force their children into achieving success
B. themselves have been very successful
C. understand and help their children sensibly
D. arrange private lessons for their children
24.        The two examples given in the passage illustrate the principle that        _______.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Recently, we made a trip to revisit Dong Ho Village with a desire to meet old artisan Nguyen
Huu Sam. Just when we arrived at the dyke in the village and talked with the villagers about the
artisan, they intimately told us about him.
The old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of the
house there are many folk paintings in different genres, from daily life paintings to landscape
paintings shown in a set of “four seasons”
Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft of
making Dong Ho paintings by his father. At five, he could help his father apply the the Dong Ho
paintings. At seven, he was able to draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. Years
went by and the soul of Dong Ho folk paintings has kept seashell powder paint to the poonah-paper.
In the 1940s this craft flourished. At that time Nguyen Huu Sam was assigned by his parents to
take the paintings to the market for sale. Mr.Sam said that 17 families in the village had been
engaged in making Dong Ho paintings.
Artisan Nguyen Huu Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has
waited for opportunities to restore this traditional craft. In 1967, when the local authorities assigned
him to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 villagers with
professional skills and collected hundred of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting
Cooperative. Thanks to his efforts, such famous paintings as “Rat’s wedding”, “Rooster”, “Scene of
jealousy” and “Writing verses about precious flowers” have been revived. Dong Ho paintings have
been available in many parts of the world such as Japan, France, Germany, Singapore and the
United States.
