SOME ANIMALS CAN PREDICT FUTURE EARTHQUAKES
A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior
might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius
of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly: dogs yelped
and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days
before the mishap.
In 1976, after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake.
Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate
millions of other people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.

A. An impending earthquake
B. The number of people who will die
C. The ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter
D. Environmental changes
2. Why can animals perceive these changes when humans cannot?
A. Animals are smarter than humans.
B. Animals have certain instincts that humans don’t possess.
C. By running around the house, they can feel the vibrations.
D. Humans don’t know where to look.
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake
B. By observing animal behavior scientists perhaps can predict earthquakes.
C. The Chinese have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives
D. All birds and dogs in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter went wild before the earthquake.
4. In this passage, the word “evacuate” most nearly means _____________.

There have been many great inventions in human history. One great invention is the printing press. A
German named Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s invented a press that made it easy to print books.
Books became much more common after the invention of the printing press. Books helped other
inventors make new things.
The invention of the steam engine around 1700 led to the Industrial Revolution. Inventors made
many new machines that were powered by steam engines. They invented locomotives, steamboats,
and all kinds of factory machines.
Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of automobiles in the
late 1800s. Inventors made better and better internal combustion engines. These are the engines we
use today in cars, trucks, buses, and airplanes.
The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied electricity. An
American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, phonograph, and other
things that ran on electricity in the late 1800s.
New things are invented today faster than ever before. Inventors are making new kitchen appliances,
toys, computers, video games, telephones, and all kinds of other things. The ways people invent
things have changed over time. Until the 1900s, most inventors worked alone. Today, most
inventions come from scientists and engineers who work in teams.

XII. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
In recent years, there has been a lot of hype around coding: that it is an invaluable skill everyone
should learn or that it is a field where there is a lot of money to be made. And while there are a lot of
great reasons to learn to code, it might not be the best career choice for everyone. In order to
determine if coding is a good fit for you, you will want to consider a few things.
One thing to think about is the job market. There are a lot of jobs and freelance opportunities out
there for programmers and many of them pay well, but there are even more programmers seeking
jobs. This means that simply knowing how to code is not a sure way to land a job. Employers are
looking for the highest-quality programmers out there.
Like any skill, coding takes dedication and patience to develop. The more time you put into it, the
better you will become. Learning your first coding language might prove to be a long and difficult
process. But the good news is that once you have learned one, others become easier to grasp.
As technology continues to evolve some new jobs will be created, but some of today’s jobs will also
become obsolete. Some argue that it might be a better investment to study growing fields like
artificial intelligence and machine learning. On the other hand, learning to code is a great way to gain
an understanding of software from the bottom up, and it can serve as a jumping-off point If you want
to move into these fields in the future.
So should you learn to code? There are a lot of opinions out there, but ultimately it is up to you. If it
seems like something you really enjoy and you are willing to put in the effort, go for it! But if it is
something you are on the fence about, you might want to keep looking. There is a lot of other
options out there, and you will surely find something that is a better fit for you.
- hype (n): cường điệu
- obsolete (adj): lỗi thời
- jumping-off point: vị trí xuất phát, bàn đạp

A. if you are really good at coding and learn to know how to code perfectly
B. if you do not study growing fields like artificial intelligence and machine learning
