Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer.
About fifty years ago, plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks.
The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals
and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral
inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by
roots require energy, of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which
drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen. 
The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in
intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins, and the roots provide the shoots with
water and minerals. In addition, roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy
for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing,
they produce protein, but only mature leaves can “export” protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids. 
38: [NĐH] According to the passage, what is ATP?
A. a chemical compound B. The tip of a root
C. A biochemical process D. A type of plant cell
39: [NĐH] Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
A. The results of two experiments are compared
B. A generalization is made and several examples of it are given
C. A hypothesis is presented, and several means of providing it are suggested
D. The findings of an experiment are explained
40: [NĐH] What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The relationship between a plant’s roots and its shoots
B. How plants can be grown without roots
C. What can be learned by growing roots in isolation
D. What elements are necessary for the growth of isolation
41: [NĐH] It can be inferred from the passage, in the early spring, the buds of plants _____.
A. obtain organic compounds from the roots B. do not require water
C. have begun photosynthesizing D. “export” protein in the form of amino acids
42: [NĐH] The use of the phrase “come in handy” indicates that the process is _____.
A. necessary B. predictable C. useful D. Successful
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer.
Did you know that your small intestine is nearly six meters long? Or that there are about 60 muscles in your
face, and you use 40 of them to frown but only 20 to smile? How about the fact that our bodies consist of 73 percent
water, and that our hearts beat over 100,000 times each day? You really are amazing! 
The human body is a complex machine. From the day we are born, our bodies grow and change in response to
our environment, diet, and habits. The body has many different organ systems and parts that work together to allow us
to breathe, move, see, talk, and digest food all at the same time. Most of the time we are unaware of what is happening
in our bodies, usually it is only when we get sick or feel pain that we notice. 
Many people do not take care of their complex machines. Bad habits like smoking, drinking too much alcohol,
and eating junk food damage our bodies. Stress can also cause health problems. People who worry a lot or have busy
jobs often don’t get enough sleep, or don’t eat properly. We also can damage our bodies when we play sports or get
into accidents. Studies done by the Australian government show that most people get hurt because of an accidental

slip or fall, or because of injuries from car accidents. It’s true that a lot of people go to hospital because of serious
illnesses, but far more people end up there because they simply weren’t being carefill. 
Like machines, different body parts sometimes wear down from old age. People over the age of 65 are more
likely to fall and hurt themselves. And these injuries - from bad cuts to broken bones - usually require serious medical
attention. Due to the increase in the population of elderly people, gerontology is now one of the fastest growing areas
of medicine. There are many treatments available to help older people recover from illness and injury. It is now
common for older people with damaged joints, for example, to have surgery to replace the old joint with a new one
made of plastic or metal. Instead of suffering aches and pains through their retirement days, older people are able to
lead happier and more comfortable lives. 
As with any machine, the better you take care of it, the longer it will last. The best way to take care of your
amazing machine is to eat the right foods, do regular exercise, and get enough sleep. Oh, and don’t forget to smile!
