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 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 may be you need some help. The first place to
turn for help is your teacher. But 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.
17.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

18.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
19.When students need some help, they should .
A.never ask other teachers because it will hurt their own teachers
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
20.The main idea of the first three paragraphs is .

* Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
Unlike life in the countryside which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city
is modern and complicated. People, from different regions, move to the cities in the hope of having a better
life for them and their children. The inhabitants in the city work as secretaries, businessmen, teachers,
government workers, factory workers and even street vendors or construction workers.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially someone with low income, to work harder
or to take a part-time job. For many people, an ordinary day starts as usual by getting up in the early
morning to do exercise in public parks, preparing for a full day of working and studying, then travelling
along crowed boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home after a busy day.
They usually live in a large house, or high-rise apartment blocks or even in a small rental room equipped
with modern facilities like the Internet, telephone, television, and so on. Industrialization and
modernization as well as global intergration have big impact on lifestyle in the cities. The most noticeable
impact is the Western style of clothes. The “ao dai” – Vietnamese traditional clothes are no longer
regularly worn in Vietnamese women’s daily life. Instead, jeans, T-shirts and fashionable clothes are

Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the main
source of energy for the body, and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates
range from simple sugars like glucose to complex sugars such as amylose and amylopectin.
Nutritionists estimatethat carbohydrates should make up about one-fourth to 5 one-fifth of a
person’s diet. This translates to about 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.
A diet that is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect 10 on a person’s health. When
the body lacks a sufficient amount of carbohydrates it must then use its protein supplies for energy,
a process called gluconeogenesis. This, however, results in a lack of necessary protein, and further
health difficulties may occur. A lack of carbohydrates can also lead to ketosis, a build-up of
ketones 15 in the body that causes fatigue, lethargy, and bad breath.
17. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Carbohydrates are needed for good health. B. Carbohydrates prevent a build-up of proteins.
C. Carbohydrates can lead to ketosis. D. Carbohydrates are an expendable part of a good diet.
18. According to the passage, what do most nutritionists suggest?

19. Which of the following do carbohydrates NOT do?
A. flavor and sweeten food B. prevent ketosis
C. provide energy for the body D. cause gluconeogenesis
20. What does the word “this” refer to in line 8?
A. converting carbohydrates to energy B. using protein supplies for energy

help students with group projects both in and out of the classroom.

world they live in. This will help students become an important part of their communities.

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

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 to be weak and
ailing. 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.

A. only when they are with US
