ĐỀ ÔN THI 2

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.
Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want
to be friends with them or that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to
explain as it may seem (2). For instance, people give out body language signals all the time. The way
you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your
sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive. Holding
your head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are
self-confident. All this affects the way you feel about someone.
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something
as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your
feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you
were happy as a child(3). Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may
never realize it is happening.

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.
Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child's baby teeth fall out. In Korea, for
example, they have the custom of throwing lost teeth up on the roof of a house. According to tradition, a
magpie will come and take the tooth. Later, the magpie will return with a new tooth for the child. In other
Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam, children follow a similar tradition of throwing their lost
teeth onto the roofs of houses.
Birds aren't the only animals thought to take lost teeth. In Mexico and Spain, tradition says a mouse
takes a lost tooth and leaves some money(15). However, in Mongolia, dogs are responsible for taking
teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture and are considered guardian angels of the
people. Tradition says that the new tooth will grow good and strong if the baby tooth is fed to a guardian
angel(16). Accordingly, parents in Mongolia will put their child's lost tooth in a piece of meat and feed it to a
dog.
The idea of giving lost teeth to an angel or fairy is also a tradition in the West. Many children in
Western countries count on the Tooth Fairy to leave money or presents in exchange for a tooth(18). The
exact origins of the Tooth Fairy are a mystery, although the story probably began in England or Ireland
centuries ago. According to tradition, a child puts a lost tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed.
In the wee hours, while the child is sleeping, the Tooth Fairy takes the tooth and leaves something else
under the pillow. In France, the Tooth Fairy leaves a small gift. In the United States, however, the Tooth
Fairy usually leaves money. These days, the rate is $1 to $5 per tooth, adding up to a lot of money from
the Tooth Fairy!
