Vocabulary
I am now in my final year at the secondary school, and in my attempt to win a place at university, I am under
a lot of study pressure. However, being the eldest child and the only daughter in the family I try to help with
the household chores. My main responsibility is to wash the dishes and take out the garbage. I also look after
the boys, who are quite active and mischievous sometimes, but most of the time they are obedient and hard-
working. They love joining my father in mending things around the house at weekends.
We are a very close-knit family and very supportive of one another. We often share our feelings, and whenever
problems come up, we discuss them frankly and find solutions quickly. We always feel safe and secure in our
family. It is a base from which we can go into the world with confidence.

CUTURAL DIVERSITY - SỰ ĐA DẠNG VĂN HÓA
READING PASSAGE
Traditionally, Americans and Asians have very different ideas
about love and marriage. Americans believe in “romantic”
marriage - a boy and a girl are attracted to each other, fall in
love, and decide to marry each other. Asians, on the other
hand, believe in “contractual” marriage - the parents of the
bride and the groom decide on the marriage; and love - if it
ever develops - is supposed to follow marriage, not precede it.
To show the differences, a survey was conducted among
American, Chinese and Indian students to determine their attitudes toward love and marriage. Below is a
summary of each group’s responses to the four key values.
Physical attractiveness: The Americans are much more concerned than the Indians and the Chinese with
physical attractiveness when choosing a wife or a husband. They also agree that a wife should maintain her
beauty and appearance after marriage.
Confiding: Few Asian students agree with the American students’ view that
wives and husbands share all thoughts. In fact, a majority of Indians and
Chinese think it is better and wiser for a couple not to share certain
thoughts. A large number of Indian men agree that it is unwise to confide
in their wives.
Partnership of equals: The majority of Asian students reject the American
view that marriage is a partnership of equals. Many Indian students agree
that a woman has to sacrifice more in a marriage than a man.
Trust built on love: Significantly, more Asian students than American students agree that a husband is obliged
to tell his wife where he has been if he comes home late. The Asian wife can demand a record of her husband’s
activities. The American wife, however, trusts her husband to do the right thing because he loves her not
because he has to.
The comparison of the four values suggests that young Asians are not as romantic as their American
counterparts.

Part 6. Read the following passage and then answer the following questions by choosing A, B, C or D.
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you
telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the
matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls
made after 11 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life and death.
The time chosen for the call communicate its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded
if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true
in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be foolish to make an appointment too far in advance
because plans which are made for a date more than one week tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time
differs in different parts of the world. Thus misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat
time differently.
Promptness is valued highly in American life; for example, if people are not prompt, they may be regarded
as impolite or not fully responsible. In the USA no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for
an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is
less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the
sentence.
1. The word “attached” is closest in meaning to _________.
A. taken B. drawn C. given D. shown
2. Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at dawn, they would mean _________.
A. the matter is unimportant C. the matter does not need immediate attention
B. the matter is somewhat important D. it is a matter of life and death
