answer to each of the following questions.
No one knows the limits of population that the earth 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 diseases 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 lessened, 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 rate. Most experts agree that it will be necessary to combine all three recommendations in an
effort to affect a lasting solution.

A. food was in short supply because of population increase
B. The rapid growth of population led to an acute shortage of natural resources
C. Rapid population growth put a great strain on available resources

THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the
most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and
many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship
the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the
beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following
summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next
winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days.The most important part of the
celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet
potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with
stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.
On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the streets with
large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the Christmas
period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.
Question 36. What is the purpose of the passage?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be 60 and
older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises concerns about
healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on economic integration and
requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen the two-child policy and to
increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the two-child policy the government
expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years. But its effect could be creating an
uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the government loosened the two-child policy in 2015
in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent
Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary evaluation
in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while creating savings
in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for younger generations. It
is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per cent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual
labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50
can be dangerous and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by
policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam. However, these are only
temporary solutions.
Question 36: The best title for this passage could be ________.
A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam
C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
Question 37: Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in the paragraph 1?
