Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your
vocabulary. In order to do this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a shortcut for
this. But there are many effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short
stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read,
you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you
cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be
your first choice and keep the translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to
watch movies in English which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the
language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each
day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate
with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after another, people
most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or n to indicate the correct answer
There are many kinds of books in the world. They fall into two categories which are
fiction and nonfiction. Well-received books from either kind are even made into movies and
games.
Fiction books are written using the imagination. The characters and events surrounding
them are not real. Fiction books can be found in abundance at bookstores and libraries. They
can even be found on the shelves of comic shops and game shops. Often, fiction books are
written in two or three combinations from the science, fantasy and classical groups. The most
popular kind among youngsters is probably in the area of fantasy. Anything involving magic
and witchcraft, spacecraft and aliens, or superheroes and time travel may be used in this
category.
Many different kinds of non-fiction books are available on the market. These are written
about facts, real people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are
written by people who have experienced or witnessed the happening themselves. Real-life
stories can also be contributed by readers and thus found in magazines and newspapers.
As more books are written and produced across the globe, our choice for selection also
increases. Although reading is a good form of habit, choosing the right kind of books to read
is just as important. We, as the readers, have a responsibility to learn to choose wisely.

Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of

and Filipinos.
Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from the
US mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii has become a place with traditions
from several countries. People from the various nation groups have married each other, so
today the groups are partly mixed. Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome

Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the
food groups. It also means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat,
cholesterol, refined sugar, and salt. The goal is to take in nutrients you need for health at the
recommended levels. You can get the most nutrients by choosing foods with a high-nutrient
density. Nutrient-dense foods provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals and
relatively few calories, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and fish, and whole
grains and beans.
Low-nutrient dense foods have few vitamins but lots of calories, such as candy bars, soda,
donuts and onion rings. Vegetable sources of protein, such as nuts, beans, and whole grains
are great choices and offer vitamins, minerals and healthy fibers. The best protein choices are
poultry and fish. For those who love red meat, you should stick with the leanest cuts, choose
moderate portion sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet. Developing healthy
eating habits is not as confusing or as restrictive as you may imagine. The first principle of a
healthy diet is simply to eat a wide variety of foods. This is important because different foods
make different nutritional contributions. Fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes-foods high in
complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat and free of cholesterol-
should make up the bulk of the calories you consume. The rest should come from low-fat
dairy products, lean meat and poultry, and fish.
25. The following things are low-nutrient dense foods EXCEPT ____________.
A. candy bars B. soft drinks C. donuts and onion rings D. peanuts

The lifestyle of people living in urban areas of big cities like Ho Chi Minh City and
Hanoi is different from that of people living in rural areas of villages etc. Life in the city is
often modern and complicated. City life is busy and most adults are working. The lifestyle is
competitive and the daily routine consists of work till the evenings and then spending time
with family or friends at night. Most of the inhabitants in the city work at many different
positions like secretaries, doctors, teachers, government workers, factory workers and street
vendors etc. The cost of living in the urban areas is more than that in the countryside. Because
of this reason, people tend to work hard to make ends meet.
80% of the Vietnamese population lives in rural areas and villages which are scattered
throughout the lowlands areas and along the coastal line. In these areas, the way people live
on a daily basis is in strong contrast to life in urban areas and larger cities. People work in
groups and take up jobs as farmers and fishermen. Everybody is helpful to one another and is
involved in a variety of activities such as raising livestock, making handicrafts and farming
etc. Along the coastal line, fishermen are very dependent upon the sea as it is their only
means of livelihood. These fishermen are thus very hardworking and worship their work.
Those people residing in the central highlands or northern mountains live by growing a
number of things like rice, coffee, rubber trees and tea etc. ...

Sleep is very important. Did you know that sleep is more important than food? A person
who does not sleep dies at a younger age than a person who does not eat. Let’s say you go to
sleep 12 hours later than you usually do. It will take your body about three weeks to return to
normal. We spend about one-third (1/3) of our lives in sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every
day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. A teenager needs 9
to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people
who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the
average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older. Most
people have some nights when they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a
problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep or stay asleep. The name of this
problem is insomnia. The word insomnia means “no sleep.” Some people say, “I didn’t sleep
all night.” They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only
remember the times they were awake, so they think they were awake all night. This is not a
new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special
ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman and inventor, had four
beds. He moved from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds
and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a
different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!

If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your
vocabulary. In order to do this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a shortcut for
this. But there are many effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short
stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read,
you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you
cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be
your first choice and keep the translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to
watch movies in English which will also help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the
language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each
day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate
with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after another, people
most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or n to indicate the correct answer
There are many kinds of books in the world. They fall into two categories which are
fiction and nonfiction. Well-received books from either kind are even made into movies and
games.
Fiction books are written using the imagination. The characters and events surrounding
them are not real. Fiction books can be found in abundance at bookstores and libraries. They
can even be found on the shelves of comic shops and game shops. Often, fiction books are
written in two or three combinations from the science, fantasy and classical groups. The most
popular kind among youngsters is probably in the area of fantasy. Anything involving magic
and witchcraft, spacecraft and aliens, or superheroes and time travel may be used in this
category.
Many different kinds of non-fiction books are available on the market. These are written
about facts, real people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are
written by people who have experienced or witnessed the happening themselves. Real-life
stories can also be contributed by readers and thus found in magazines and newspapers.
As more books are written and produced across the globe, our choice for selection also
increases. Although reading is a good form of habit, choosing the right kind of books to read
is just as important. We, as the readers, have a responsibility to learn to choose wisely.

Out in the Pacific Ocean, 3,700 kilometers from Los Angeles, are the islands of

today the groups are partly mixed. Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome

Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the
food groups. It also means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat,
cholesterol, refined sugar, and salt. The goal is to take in nutrients you need for health at the
recommended levels. You can get the most nutrients by choosing foods with a high-nutrient
density. Nutrient-dense foods provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals and
relatively few calories, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and fish, and whole
grains and beans.
Low-nutrient dense foods have few vitamins but lots of calories, such as candy bars, soda,
donuts and onion rings. Vegetable sources of protein, such as nuts, beans, and whole grains
are great choices and offer vitamins, minerals and healthy fibers. The best protein choices are
poultry and fish. For those who love red meat, you should stick with the leanest cuts, choose
moderate portion sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet. Developing healthy
eating habits is not as confusing or as restrictive as you may imagine. The first principle of a
healthy diet is simply to eat a wide variety of foods. This is important because different foods
make different nutritional contributions. Fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes-foods high in
complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, low in fat and free of cholesterol-
should make up the bulk of the calories you consume. The rest should come from low-fat
dairy products, lean meat and poultry, and fish.
25. The following things are low-nutrient dense foods EXCEPT ____________.
A. candy bars B. soft drinks C. donuts and onion rings D. peanuts

The lifestyle of people living in urban areas of big cities like Ho Chi Minh City and
Hanoi is different from that of people living in rural areas of villages etc. Life in the city is
often modern and complicated. City life is busy and most adults are working. The lifestyle is
competitive and the daily routine consists of work till the evenings and then spending time
with family or friends at night. Most of the inhabitants in the city work at many different
positions like secretaries, doctors, teachers, government workers, factory workers and street
vendors etc. The cost of living in the urban areas is more than that in the countryside. Because
of this reason, people tend to work hard to make ends meet.
80% of the Vietnamese population lives in rural areas and villages which are scattered
throughout the lowlands areas and along the coastal line. In these areas, the way people live
on a daily basis is in strong contrast to life in urban areas and larger cities. People work in
groups and take up jobs as farmers and fishermen. Everybody is helpful to one another and is
involved in a variety of activities such as raising livestock, making handicrafts and farming
etc. Along the coastal line, fishermen are very dependent upon the sea as it is their only
means of livelihood. These fishermen are thus very hardworking and worship their work.
Those people residing in the central highlands or northern mountains live by growing a
number of things like rice, coffee, rubber trees and tea etc. ...

Sleep is very important. Did you know that sleep is more important than food? A person
who does not sleep dies at a younger age than a person who does not eat. Let’s say you go to
sleep 12 hours later than you usually do. It will take your body about three weeks to return to
normal. We spend about one-third (1/3) of our lives in sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every
day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. A teenager needs 9
to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people
who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the
average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older. Most
people have some nights when they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a
problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep or stay asleep. The name of this
problem is insomnia. The word insomnia means “no sleep.” Some people say, “I didn’t sleep
all night.” They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only
remember the times they were awake, so they think they were awake all night. This is not a
new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special
ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman and inventor, had four
beds. He moved from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds
and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a
different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!
