Read the passage and mark the answer to each of the question.
When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate change. The young
German spoke about deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end of his talk, he challenged the
people of his country to help by planting one million trees. Nobody thought much would come of a
nine-year-old’s school project. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner’s efforts had resulted in the
planting of more than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named “Plant-for-the-Planet” - by planting the first
tree outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the one-million challenge
spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was asked to speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon
followed, and when he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. “We cannot
trust that adults alone will save our future,” he said in the speech. “We have to take our future in our
hands.”
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an organization with around 70,000
members. It works to teach people about climate change and to encourage the planting of more trees.

on Earth.

The Globe
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a popular topic for people interested in theater and history. However,
the Globe Theatre as we know it today is not the same building that was used originally. In fact, the
Globe was situated in many different places during its long history.
When the rental agreement on the original location ended, one of the actors bought a theater called the
Blackfriars, which was located in another part of town. However, many complaints from neighbors and
the town council led to the creation of a petition that requested that the acting group move their
company out of town. Upset with this news, the actors returned to the original theater, took most of it
apart, and then moved the materials across the Thames River to Bankside, where they proceeded to
construct the next version of the Globe.
This endeavor, though, did not go so smoothly. The owner of the original Globe Theatre, who had
rented it to the actors, took the acting group to court. He wanted the actors to pay for the damage they
had done to his building. In the end, however, the actors won the case and continued to construct their
“newly-acquired” theater. Later, the actors split their plays between the original theater and the new
Globe.
In 1643, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground. How did this happen? Historians believe that
a cannon that was shot during a performance of the play Henry Vill started a large fire. Yet, the Globe
Theatre still survived. A new Globe was later completed on the same site before Shakespeare's death.
However, it was shut down by the Puritans in 1642 and later destroyed during the English Civil War of
1643.
In May of 1997, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened a newly constructed version of the Globe with a
production of Henry V. This is the Globe Theatre that people visit today. The queen wanted the new
theater to be much like the old one. The new model is very similar to the original theater. For instance,
it is also a three-story building. Also, it has seating for 1,500 people. It also has an area called the
“yard” on the lower level. In its first season, the theater attracted 210,000 people.

Although bear-like, koalas are not bears. They are mammals, so feed their young milk and are
marsupials, which means that their babies are born immature and they develop further in the safety of a
pouch. They are tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupials, which average about 9kg in weight and live on
gum leaves. Their fur is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places. Koalas in the
southern parts of Australia are considerably larger and have thicker fur than those in the north. This is
thought to be an adaptation to keep them warm in the colder southern winters.
Younger breeding females usually give birth to one joey each year, depending on a range of factors. The
joey stays in its mother’s pouch for about 6 or 7 months, drinking only milk. After venturing out of the
pouch, the joey rides on its mother’s abdomen or back, although it continues to return to her pouch for
milk until it is too big to fit inside. The joey leaves its mother’s home range between 1 and 3 years old,
depending on when the mother has her next joey.
Koalas are mostly nocturnal. They sleep for part of the night and also sometimes move about in the
daytime. They often sleep for up to 18-20 hours each day. There is a myth that koalas sleep a lot
because they ‘get drunk’ on gum leaves. However, most of their time is spent sleeping because it
requires a lot of energy to digest their toxic, fibrous, low-nutrition diet and sleeping is the best way to
conserve energy.
The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning “no drink” because it receives over
90% of its hydration from the eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks
when ill or times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves i.e. during droughts, etc.
Question 34: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Koalas’ Breeding. B. The Origin Of The Koala’s Name And Its Eating Habits.
C.Koalas Are Mammals, Not Bears. D.The Real Story About Koalas.
Question 35: According to paragraph 2, how do younger mother koalas usually breed ?
A.They give birth to one joey biannually. B. They give birth to one offspring annually.
C.They don’t give birth until the females reach 6 or 7 months. D. They don’t breed during the day.
Question 36: The word it in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. a mother B. a joey C. a pouch D. back
Question 37: The word nocturnal in paragraph 3 is ______.
A.sleepy all day and night B. awake at daytime C. sleepy at night D. active at night
Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?
A. Koalas drink a lot of water during the meals in order to digest gum leaves.
B. Koalas spend up to twenty hours sleeping each day.
C. Koalas do not drink water normally.
D. Koalas are herbivorous and tree-dwelling.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society;
besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to transform many
aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At educational
institutes, marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work. Teachers often find that
grading takes up a considerable amount of time which can be used to interact with students and prepare
for class. AI, at present, may not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty
close. Nearly all kinds of multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al-
driven machines, and automated grading of student writing may not be far behind. Essay-grading
softwares are still in their infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the coming years, allowing
teachers to focus more on classroom activities and professional development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial
intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing, foreign language,
etc. With the rapid pace of technological advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems
which can help students learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe
dream. Moreover, Al programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools,
especially those with online courses, are using AI systems to monitor students' progress. These systems
not only offer students advice on individual courses but also help students choose majors in accordance
with areas where they succeed or struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next
decades, their influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a much wider
range of services.

Psychologists have long known that having a set of cherished companions is crucial to mental well-
being. A recent study by Australian investigators concluded that our friends even help to (34) ______
our lives. The study concentrated on the social environment, general health, and lifestyle of 1,477
persons older than 70 years. The participants were asked how much contact they had with friends,
children, relatives and acquaintances. Researchers were surprised to learn that friendships increased life
(35) ______ to a far greater extent than frequent contact with children and other relatives. This benefit
held true even after these friends had moved away to (36) ______ city and was independent of factors
such as socioeconomic status, health, and way of life. According to scientists, the ability to have
relationships with people to (37) ______ one is important has a positive effect on physical and mental
health. Stress and tendency towards depression are reduced, and behaviours that are damaging to health,
such as smoking and drinking, occur less frequently. (38)_______, our support networks, in times of
calamity in particular, can raise our moods and feelings of self-worth and offer helpful strategies for

Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping
forward or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also,
they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good,
they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or
“fix up” mistakes in comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They
tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their
studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they
may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or
employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new
information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to
understand and remember it.
Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying
may be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as
well. They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and
completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet
purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain
why good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective
study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

Modern civilization is heavily dependent on energy. Without reliable power sources, we couldn’t
operate machines, use transportation, communicate via the Internet, or do many other things. Although
everyone recognizes the importance of energy, deciding what kind of energy the world should use in the
future is not a simple task. The two leading candidates for this role are green energy and nuclear energy.
Currently, most of the energy we use is derived from fossil fuels. Although this energy source has got us
this far, there are several problems with it. For starters, it is a finite resource which is quickly running
out. Some analysts have even estimated that the Earth could run out of coal and oil within the next 50
years. Burning fossil fuels also creates large amount of pollution, which is harmful to the environment.
Although fossil fuels still provide the majority of our power, governments are seeking better energy
sources to use going forward.
Green energy is one option that is becoming increasingly attractive. It includes technologies such as
solar, wind, and hydro power. These are seen as clean sources of energy because they cause very little
pollution. In addition, they are completely renewable, so there is no danger that it will run out. The
major disadvantage with green energy sources is that they are not cheap.
The other alternative is nuclear power. Like green energy, it is also a renewable source of power that
will not run out, and it also doesn’t produce air pollution. In addition, nuclear power is more reliable
than green energy, as it doesn’t depend on sunshine, rain, or wind to operate. The major issues with
nuclear power are safety concerns and nuclear waste. Nuclear power plants create a considerable
amount of nuclear waste which is extremely hazardous to people’s health. If they happen to have a
meltdown, this could destroy the surrounding area for years to come.
The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan brought this reality into the spotlight once again. In
response, Germany announced it would close down eight of its nuclear plants immediately, and close
the rest by 2022. Meanwhile, other nations refuse to give up on nuclear power, stating that these
disasters are rare. The debate of whether to use green or nuclear power will likely continue for some
time. In the end, it is quite possible that both energy sources will be used to fuel our planet.
Question 44. What is the main focus of the passage?
A. Why energy is important B. The energy sources used in the past

B. Nuclear energy will outweigh green energy in the near future.
C. It is easy to decide on the energy solution for the future.
D. A mix of different energy sources will be used in the future.
Question 49. The word “spotlight” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.

RoboCup is a football competition that has taken place every year since 1997. But the players are not
human; they are robots. The competition's full name is ‘Robot Soccer World Cup’, and the aim is to
create, by the middle of the 21st century, a team of robot footballers that are able to play against and
beat the winners of the real World Cup.
In order for robots to play football, robotics companies have had to develop special technologies. A
robot can't just run onto the field and start kicking the ball. So each robot is fitted with a webcam
which is connected to a computer inside the robot. The robot is able to see where the other players are,
where the goal is and, most importantly, where the ball is. They are programmed to make their own
decisions and during the match the robots' creators are not allowed to tell them what to do. The robots
are, however, able to communicate with other members of their team, via a wireless network.
There is a long way to go before robots will be able to compete against humans. They need to become
more intelligent and become able to react more quickly and anticipate the game. But the technologies
that are being developed for scoring goals have other uses as well. It may be possible to develop robots
that can be used in search and rescue, for example, finding people trapped in buildings after
earthquakes. They may not be as fun to watch as real footballers, but at least they don't demand
enormous salaries!
Question 39. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A normal football competition B. Robots that play football
C. Robots that are useful for search and rescue D. Footballers and their average salaries
Question 40. According to paragraph 1, what is special about the Robot Soccer World Cup?
A. All of the players are robots.
B. Robots help footballers to score goals.
C. It’s created to promote the real World Cup.
D. The World Cup’s champions are invited to play there.
Question 41. The word They in paragraph 2 refers to _______.

A. Decisions B. Creators C. Members D. Robots
Question 42. The word react in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. prepare B. support C. respond D. understand
Question 43. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A. The robots can’t talk with other members or people during the match.
B. The movement of each robot is controlled by the captain of the team.
C. Robot footballers are more exciting than professional players to watch.
D. Robots need increased intelligence and better movements to play against humans.
Read the passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
A diver descends into an underwater cave, a scientist researches a dangerous disease, and an
entrepreneur invests in a new business. Each time we try something new, we take a risk. Sometimes,
like the diver or the businessman, we take big risks, usually for obvious reasons-for fame, for money,
or to save lives. Most people will take some risk to achieve one of these goals. But as the danger
increases, the number of people willing to go forward decreases. Only extreme risk-takers continue on.
The question is: What exactly drives these people to go on when others would stop?
To answer this question, scientists are studying the biological factors involved in risk-taking. Their
research focuses on certain chemicals in the brain. An important chemical in risk-taking is dopamine. It
motivates us to seek out and learn new things, and it helps us process emotions like anxiety and fear.
When we accomplish a task, dopamine produces a feeling of satisfaction; it makes us feel good. The
riskier the task, the more dopamine we produce, and the better we feel.
Dopamine production may make us feel good, but being in a high-risk situation for an extended period
of time is also stressful and can be dangerous. Successful risk-takers must learn to deal with the fear
associated with high-risk situations to reduce stress and stay safe. In reality, adapting to risk is
something we all learn to do. Take, for example, learning to drive a car. At first, a new driver may be
afraid to travel on freeways. In time, though, as the driver gains experience, he or she will move
comfortably into speeding traffic and will worry less about the danger. The work that marine biologist
and deep-sea diver Rhian Waller does illustrates this well. She studies life in some of the deepest and
coldest waters on Earth. How does Waller control her fear and stay safe in these high-risk situations?
"It comes with practice," she says. "It's knowing exactly what to do when something goes wrong. We
prepare well for each of our expeditions, and we try to minimize the number of risks we take."
Of course, a person doesn't have to be a deep-sea diver to be a risk-taker. Taking risks is part of being
human. We are all motivated to experience new things. In order to do so, we have to take chances and,
of course, we may fail.
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Does Taking Risks Really Help Us Grow?
B. Mysteries of Dopamine - A Recipe for Success
C. Being a Risk-Taker: Are You Brave Enough?
D. The Nature of Taking Risks

B. Dopamine is useful in terms of helping us deal with fear when doing something risky.
C. In order to get over worry in stressful situations, we have to take some risks.
D. Running a car for the first time can be a frightening experience for new drivers.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Practicing a risky activity can actually reduce the fear of it.
B. Rhian Waller can overcome shyness because she’s an experienced diver.

Is synchronized swimming really a sport? Despite the doubt of many people, synchronized swimming
is one of the most underrated but most difficult sports, and it certainly deserves to be in the Olympic
Games.
Olympic synchronized swimmers train for as long as eight hours a day, for six days a week− much
longer than most other Olympic sports. The athletes are not just in the water the whole time, they
spend hours stretching, doing Pilates, strength conditioning, diligently training, lifting weights,
performing ballet, and even dancing and doing gymnastics. Because of this, synchronized swimmers
are some of the strongest and skillful athletes to compete in the modern Olympic Games.
Synchronized swimmers must perform many movements and positions called figures while managing
their breathing and coordination with the swimmers around them. To increase their lung capacity,
often times synchronized swimmers will do exercises called “unders” during practices. They will swim
a 25-meter lap underwater, repeating this exercise over and over until they’re beyond exhausted. This
exercise is completely necessary for synchronized swimmers to master, because more than half of a
routine is performed underwater.
Although synchronized swimming is a very graceful and beautiful sport, there can be some dangers.
The synchronized swimmers can’t touch the bottom of the pool in a routine, or they’ll be disqualified.
They must continuously move their legs in circular movements, like an egg-beater. Because
synchronized swimming is a contact sport and the swimmer’s kicks are so powerful, swimmers may
get hit by other competitors’ legs, causing concussions or knocking off nose clips, which is an essential
piece of equipment. Since it’s fairly common for a nose clip to get knocked off, many times swimmers
will swim with a couple extras.

Members of the royal family have led an outpouring of tributes from around the world at the death of
Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Buckingham Palace has spoken of the Queen’s “deep
sorrow” after her husband of 73 years, who had been by her side throughout her reign, died peacefully
at Windsor Castle aged 99 on Friday night (Australian time).
Flags at Buckingham Palace and government buildings across the United Kingdom were lowered to
half-mast, and within an hour of the announcement the public began to lay flowers outside Windsor
Castle and Buckingham Palace. However, mourners have been urged not to gather and leave tributes
at royal residences, and the public has been asked to stay away from funeral events because of the
coronavirus pandemic. An online book of condolence has been launched on the Royal Family’s official
website for people to leave messages of sympathy.
The prince died two months short of his 100th birthday. He had recently spent four weeks in hospital
with an infection where he was treated for a heart condition before being discharged and returned to
Windsor early in March. The Duke of Edinburgh had been by his wife’s side throughout her 69-year
reign, the longest in British history, and during that time earned a reputation for a tough, no-nonsense
attitude, and a propensity for occasional gaffes. A Greek prince, Philip married Elizabeth in 1947, and
together they had four children, eight grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. He played a key
role helping the monarchy adapt to a changing world in the post-World War II period, and behind the
walls of Buckingham Palace was the one key figure the Queen could trust and turn to, knowing he
could tell her exactly what he thought.
The death of the Duke comes in the midst of the worst public health crisis for generations as Britain
and countries around the globe reel from the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Philip
will not have a state funeral nor lie in state for the public to pay their respects ahead of the funeral, the
College of Arms said, with arrangements revised to meet coronavirus restrictions.

For recent graduates, internships may become a stepping stone to full-time, paid employment.
Before accepting an offer to work as an intern you should get some information about the company's
reputation of procuring their interns and decide accordingly. If they usually hire one intern but have
tens of employees working day and night, it is better to look for other companies. The best place to have
an internship position is an organization that gives you an opportunity to gain real work experience and
develop your skills instead of using you as a cheap worker.
Another thing that should be considered is the size of the company. Sometimes bigger and more
established organizations are better as they have a clear hierarchy and therefore it gives you a clear idea
of your position and the job description and most importantly, it will be easier to get a mentor. Startups
with only five employees are usually more flexible in terms of job responsibilities and therefore it
makes it harder to define your position and get mentors.
After you choose a company, do a little research on the company including the people who work
there. You can do a Google search and comb social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to
dig deep about the company's hiring managers and what they expect from a new employee.
Social media is also very useful to keep in touch with as many people as you can and build your
network. Do not hesitate to maintain any personal connection you have because those connections could
be the first ones who inform you about a new job opening or any vacant positions you can apply for.
If you aim for a dream job, do not overlook an entry-level position just because it offers a mediocre
salary. Entry-level employees are more likely to be given room to grow and learn from their mistakes.
They will also be able to figure out the job routines and get used to them when they actually get the
position they have been dreaming about.
Question 31: The word "procuring” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. dismissing B. training C. hiring D. interviewing
Question 32: What is the advantage of taking an entry-level position?
A. Getting mediocre salary B. Understanding job routines.
C. Understanding company's policy D. Getting promotion
Question 33: The word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to _____ .
A. employees B. job routines C. positions D. mistakes
Question 34: Why is a more established organization a better place to work as an intern?
A. It has flexible work hours B. It has clear job descriptions.
C. It offers higher salary. D. It offers full-time position
Question 35: Why is networking important for recent graduates?
A. To get information about job openings.
B. To maintain good relationship with fellow interns.
C. To keep in touch with an ex-employer.
D. To get information about job security.
Read the passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions.
While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating,
having tantrums, fighting, or abusing officials. In addition, it's highly likely that children will be aware
of well-known cases of sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance. The
danger of all this is that it could give children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win
at all costs. Good behavior and fair play aren't the message that comes across. Instead, it looks as if
cheating and bad behavior are reasonable ways of getting what you want. This message is further
bolstered by the fact that some of these sportspeople acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it
seem they are being handsomely rewarded either despite or because of their bad behavior.
What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss
attitudes and behavior with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player
swearing at the referee, they can get the child's opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player's
skill is more important than their behavior. Ask what the child thinks the player's contribution to the
team is. Point out that no player can win a team game on their own, so it's important for members to
work well together.
Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behavior from
players, think it's amusing or even consider it's a good thing? What about the officials? If they let
players get away with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect
it has on the game. Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good
grace or scowl and show a bad attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and
losing and to remind children that both are part of sport.
However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should
make sure they accentuate the positives too. They should emphasize to children the high reputation that
well-behaved players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media. They
can focus on the contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in
the team. In the interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don't
gloat when they win or sulk when they lose. And parents can stress how well these people conduct
themselves in their personal lives and the good work they do for others when not playing. In other
words, parents should get their children to focus on the positive role models, rather than the antics of the
badly behaved but often more publicized players.
Question 36: The word "accentuate" in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by _____ .
A. consolidate B. embolden C. actualize D. highlight
Q. 37: According to paragraph 2 what should parents teach their children through watching sports?

Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet and can
weigh as much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead, ostriches have
long, powerful legs that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened. Ostriches use their wings
to move themselves forward and to help them change direction.
Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands called
savannah. Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have domesticated ostriches,
so now ostriches live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the United States, China, India,
Japan, Brazil and Costa Rica. They are raised for their meat, skin, and feathers.
Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the
female, a hen. Baby ostriches are called chicks. The female ostrich lays the eggs, but both the male and
the female take turns sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.

The invention of the airplane , like many great inventions, was initially met with ridicule and
disbelief. Although many people who heard about the first powered flight on December 17, 1903, were
excited and impressed, others reacted with peals of laughter. The idea of flying an aircraft was
repulsive to some people. Although Orville and Wilbur Wright, the inventors of the first flying
machine, were called impulsive fools, the Wrights continued their experiments in aviation.
Orville and Wilbur Wright had always had a compelling interest in aeronautics and mechanics. As
young boys they earned money by making and selling kites and mechanical toys. Later, they designed a
newspaper-folding machine, built a printing press, and operated a bicycle-repair shop. In 1896, when
they read about the death of Otto Lilienthal, the brother's interest in flight grew into a compulsion.
Lilienthal, a pioneer in hang-gliding, had controlled his gliders by shifting his body in the desired
direction. This idea was repellent to the Wright brothers, however, and they searched for more efficient
methods to control the balance of airborne vehicles. In 1900 and 1901, the Wrights tested numerous
gliders and developed control techniques. The brothers' inability to obtain enough lift power for the
gliders almost led them to abandon their efforts.
After studying and experimenting with model wings in a wind tunnel, the Wright brothers
designed their first airplane in 1903 for less than one thousand dollars. They even designed and built
their own lightweight gasoline engine. On December 17, they successfully flew the plane for twelve
seconds and 120 feet, despite a turbulent start.
By 1905 the Wrights had perfected the first airplane that could turn, circle, and remain airborne for
half an hour at a time. Others had flown in balloons or in hang gliders, but the Wright brothers were the
first to build a full-size machine that could fly under its own power. As the contributors of one of the
most outstanding engineering achievements in history, the Wright brothers are accurately called the
fathers of aviation.

CDC strives to safeguard the health and improve the quality of life of all people with diabetes. Central
to that effort is helping them prevent or reduce the severity of diabetes complications, including heart
disease (the leading cause of early death among people with diabetes), kidney disease, blindness, and
nerve damage that can lead to lower-limb amputations.
Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) programs help people meet the challenges
of self-care by providing them with the knowledge and skills to deal with daily diabetes management:
eating healthy food, being active, checking their blood sugar, and managing stress. These programs
have been shown to reduce A1C levels (average blood sugar over the last 2 to 3 months), reduce the
onset and severity of diabetes complications, improve quality of life, and lower health care costs.
Diabetes is about 17% more prevalent in rural areas than urban ones, but 62% of rural counties do not
have a DSMES program. The use of telehealth (delivery of the program by phone, Internet, or
videoconference) may allow more patients in rural areas to benefit from DSMES and the National DPP
lifestyle change program. CDC funds state and local health departments to improve access to,
participation in, and health benefit coverage for DSMES, with emphasis on programs that achieve
American Association of Diabetes Educators accreditation or American Diabetes Association
recognition. These programs meet national quality standards and may be more sustainable because of
reimbursement eligibility.
A. Diabetes Complications and CDC’s Response
B. Diabetes self-management education and support programs

Question 38. According to paragraph 3, money that state and local health departments use to improve

Read the passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions
There are many mistakes that people make when writing their resume (CV) or completing a job
application. Here are some of the most common and most serious.
The biggest problem is perhaps listing the duties for which you were responsible in a past position: all
this tells your potential employers is what you were supposed to do. They do not necessarily know the
specific skills you used in executing them, nor do they know what results you achieved - both of
which are essential. In short, they won’t know if you were the best, the worst or just average in your
position.
The more concrete information you can include, the better. As far as possible, provide measurements
of what you accomplished. If any innovations you introduced saved the organization money, how
much did they save? If you found a way of increasing productivity, by what percentage did you
increase it?
Writing what you are trying to achieve in life - your objective - is a waste of space. It tells the
employer what you are interested in. Do you really think that employers care what you want? No, they
are interested in what they want! Instead, use that space for a career summary. A good one is brief -
three to four sentences long. A good one will make the person reviewing your application want to read
further.
Many resumes list ‘hard’ job-specific skills, almost to the exclusion of transferable, or ‘soft’, skills.
However, your ability to negotiate effectively, for example, can be just as important as your technical
skills.
All information you give should be relevant, so carefully consider the job for which you are applying.
If you are applying for a job that is somewhat different than your current job, it is up to you to draw a
connection for the resume reviewer, so that they will understand how your skills will fit in their
organization. The person who reviews your paperwork will not be a mind reader.
If you are modest about the skills you can offer, or the results you have achieved, a resume reader may
take what you write literally, and be left with a low opinion of your ability: you need to say exactly
how good you are. On the other hand, of course, never stretch the truth or lie.
Question 44. What topic does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The way how to write the resume for job application.
B. The mistakes people make when applying for a job.
C. The common way to make impression in a job interview.
D. The necessary skills for job application.
Question 45. The word “executing” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. enumerating B. determining C. completing D. implementing
Question 46. The word “concrete” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _______.
A. indeterminate B. specific C. substantial D. important
Question 47. What does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. organization money B. information C. productivity D. percentage
Question 48. According to the passage, what information should candidates include in their resume?
A. specific skills for previous jobs B. the past achievements
C. previous positions D. future objective
Question 49. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The ability to negotiate effectively is as significant as technical skills.
B. Candidates must study the job they are applying carefully before writing the CV.
C. Applicants should not apply for a distinct job from what they are doing.
D. The information interviewees present should be related to the job they are applying.
Question 50. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A. you should write accurately about your ability for the vacant position.
B. you should be modest about what you can do.
C. a resume reader is good enough to understand what you imply about your ability in the CV.
D. you are allowed to exaggerate the truth of your competence if possible.
