Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the question.
Nowadays, most people realize that it’s risky to use credit card numbers online. However, from time to
time, we all use passwords and government ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that
may not be true! A new kind of attack is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card
numbers from innocent web surfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing.”
Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing,” and it implies that a thief is trying to lure people into
giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait in the form of great online
deals or services. For example, phishers might use fake emails and false websites to con people into
revealing credit card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate well-known banks,
online sellers, and credit card companies. Successful phishers may convince as many as five percent of
the people they contact to respond and give away their personal financial information.
Is this really a big problem? Actually, tricking five percent of the online population is huge! Currently,
more than 350 million people have access to the Internet, and seventy-five percent of those Internet
users live in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been estimated that phishers send more than three
billion scam messages each year. Even by tricking only five percent of the people, phishers can make a
lot of money.
Since there is so much money to make through this kind of scam, it has caught the interest of more than
just small-time crooks. Recently, police tracked down members of an organized phishing group in
Eastern Europe, who had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from people online. The group created
official-looking email messages requesting people to update their personal information at an
international bank’s website. However, the link to the bank in the message actually sent people to the
phishers’ fake website. To make matters worse, further investigation revealed that this group had
connections to a major crime gang in Russia.

How can innocent people protect themselves? Above all, they have to learn to recognize email that has
been sent by a phisher. Always be wary of any email with urgent requests for personal financial
information. Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but fake, statements in their emails so that
people will reply right away. Also, messages from phishers will not address recipients by name because
they really don’t know who the recipients are yet. On the other hand, valid messages from your bank or
other companies you normally deal with will typically include your name.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the question.
The world needs to do more to prepare for the impact of a rapidly ageing population, the UN has
warned - particularly in developing countries. Within 10 years the number of people aged over 60 will
Trang 5 mã đề thi 112
pass one billion, a report by the UN Population Fund said. The demographic shift will present huge
challenges to countries' welfare, pension and healthcare systems. The UN agency also said more had to
be done to tackle "abuse, neglect and violence against older persons".
The number of older people worldwide is growing faster than any other age group. The report, Ageing
in the 21st Century: A Celebration and a Challenge, estimates that one in nine people around the world
are older than 60. The elderly population is expected to swell by 200 million in the next decade to
surpass one billion, and reach two billion by 2050. This rising proportion of older people is a
consequence of success - improved nutrition, sanitation, healthcare, education and economic well-being
are contributing factors, the report says.
But the UN and a charity that also contributed to the report, Help Age International, say the ageing
population is being widely mismanaged. "In many developing countries with large populations of young
people, the challenge is that governments have not put policies and practices in place to support their
current older populations or made enough preparations for 2050," the agencies said in a joint statement.
