READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage 1 and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions
Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy varies greatly between
genders and cultures. It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men (1 in every 4 women died in
childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than men. Life expectancy has been
increasing rapidly over the last centuries. With the advent of such modern miracles as sewers, medicine and a
greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased by 25-30 years.
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/ AIDS rate, life expectancy is as low as
32.6 years. In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates are as high as 81 years. There are an increasing
number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have. The one that we are looking at now is how
your career can affect your life expectancy. Choosing the wrong career can result in a shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of money. That's
right. Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than the people in poorer areas.
Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work is stress.
Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, tension and
aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in serious injuries at work.
They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously affect life expectancy.
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid careers on
"dangerous jobs" list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck drivers.
So if you don't want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than timber
cutting, but above all, remember to relax.

Health Benefits of Yoga
Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga style that is
suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga, etc. If you are a yoga beginner,
Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comfortable pace, would be great for you. If you want to
increase strength through using more of your own body's resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you.
Whether you prefer you're at home, in a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a
huge variety of options available to suit your goals and needs. Improved flexibility is one of the first and most
obvious benefits of yoga. During your first class, you probably won't be able to touch your toes. But if you
stick with it, you'll notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become
possible. Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine, the very center of your
body, which is the core from which everything else operates.
When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back, shoulder, and neck
pain. Strong muscles do more than look good. They also protect us from conditions like arthritis and back
pain, and help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build strength through yoga, you balance it with
flexibility. If you just went to the gym and lifted weights, you might build strength at the expense of
flexibility. Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the relaxation exercises you learn in yoga can
help your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. Yoga also gets more oxygen to your cells, which
function better as a result. Twisting poses are thought to wring out venous blood from internal organs and
allow oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released. Many studies found that a consistent yoga
practice improved depression and led to greater levels of happiness and better immune function.

A. we can watch a DVD at a studio or gym and follow it
B. we can choose a yoga style that is suitable for our lifestyle
C. we can choose Hatha Yoga to focus on basic postures or to increase strength

the questions
In 1960, Americans spent 10% of their healthcare dollar on medicines. Most of the money came from
their own pockets, and was spent on drugs that largely treated infections heart disease, arthritis and
depression. Beyond that, there was little that science could offer. Today, the range of diseases for which
medical research has some partial treatment is vast. Despite this, and the double digit increase in drug
spending - 75%-90% of which is paid for by insurance companies - prescription drugs now account for 9% of
total health expenditures.
Similarly, claims by insurers and corporations - that drug costs are driving insurance costs up in
general - are overstated. According to health analyst J.D. Kleinke, since pharmacy costs represent only 9% of
all spending, even increases of 20% could not be responsible for insurance premium increases of 10%-15%
over the last two years: Premiums have been increasing far out of proportion to increasing total medical costs
over the past three years.
The fact is we should spend more on newer, more expensive medicines because they are worth the
investment. Medical innovation creates what Harvard economist David Cutler calls health capital — the
ability of people to stay well early and consistently throughout their lives, and remain that way at an
increasingly older age. In fact, under the most conservative assumption, the U.S would have needed only
about 30% of the improvement in medical progress over the period in time. In the case of congestive heart
failure, Mr. Cutler found that increased consumption of new and more expensive drugs and other innovative
technologies generated longer life, more productivity and lower health costs that offset the cost of their
development and consumption.
1. What has changed the least since 1960?
A. Percentage of money Americans pay for medicines out of their own pockets.
B. The variety of drugs available.
C. Percentage of healthcare dollar on medicines.
D. The amount of money spent on drugs by insurance companies.

A. drug costs have not increased in the past
B. insurance costs have not increased in the past
C. premiums have increased by more than 20% in the last two years
D. premiums have increased much more than have total medical costs in the past three years

C. spend money on medicines that the latest medical science can offer
D. spend more money on medical care in spite of higher health costs

Passage 4
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the
misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are
old-fashioned, possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with obstacles; that they
talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child
relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they
themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and
music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been
accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers
or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel
they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you
do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming
that you are the underdog: you can you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is
natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents' control. But it
ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially
parents, into doing things the ways you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and
initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
1. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The teenagers' criticism of their parents
B. Misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents

Passage 5
Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the youngest of three
sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their mother used to do - she works as a
photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines in 1995 when she
graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes were modeled by her friends,
Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-
page news around the world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer but she had spent time
working in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion house
Chloe. People said the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname and her famous
parents but Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which she would like to wear herself,
although she's not a model, and many famous models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started
her own fashion house and has since opened stores around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong
vegetarian, McCartney does not use any leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other
animal-derived fabrics.

Passage 6
There are many types of family systems around the world. In North America and northern Europe, the
nuclear family (with two generations - a father, a mother and one or more children) is often seen as the most
typical. In contrast, in most other parts of the world, extended families, which include other family members
such as grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, are seen as the norm.
The common view is that the nuclear family has become the norm in many Western societies as a result
of industrialization and urbanization. This trend began in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when
people were forced to move to cities to find work in the factories that sprang up during the Industrial
Revolution. In the twentieth century, greater industrialization resulted in even more people leaving their large
extended families. Urbanization also meant that people lived in much smaller houses, which were not big
enough for an extended family.
The trend towards nuclear families meant that many of the duties and responsibilities of a family, such as
providing food and shelter, cleaning the home, preparing the food, caring for children and their education, and
caring for the sick and elderly are no longer shared among the members of the extended family. The parents
(or parent) now have to do this, with some help from the state. However, this is the price that people pay for
the higher standard of living that may come from living in a city.
We may think we know what we mean by a ‘nuclear’ family and an ‘extended’ family, but reality is more
complicated than most people believe. Most nuclear families are part of extended families: children have
grandparents and, in many cases, aunts, uncles and cousins as well. Part of what makes them ‘nuclear’ is that
they live in their own separate household, but it is not the whole story. In Greece or Italy, for example, a
nuclear family may live in its own flat, but the extended family may live in the same apartment block or in the
same street and family members see each other and even eat together every day.
1. According to paragraph 1, the nuclear family is seen as the most common in ____.
A. all parts of the world B. most places except North America
C. most places except northern Europe D. north America and northern Europe
(chú ý đoạn 1," In North America and northern Europe, the nuclear family (with two generations - a
father, a mother and one or more children) is often seen as the most typical")
2. The word "norm" in the passage mostly means ____.
A. standard B. exception C. law D. story
("norm" hoặc “standard" mang nghĩa "chuẩn mực")
3. What made the nuclear family become the norm?
A. Higher living standard B. Reduction of land
C. Higher prices of food and shelter D. Industrialization and urbanization
(chú ý đoạn 2, "The common view is that the nuclear family has become the norm in many Western
societies as a result of industrialization and urbanization")
4. The word "sprang up" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. declined B. widened C. expanded D. prolonged
("spring up” hoặc “expand” mang nghĩa “mở rộng ra")
5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about nuclear families?
A. They are isolated from their extended families.
B. They often live in their separate household.
C. They often live in smaller houses.
D. They have fewer members to share family duties.
(chú ý đoạn 4, "Most nuclear families are part of extended families: children have grandparents and, in
many cases, aunts, uncles and cousins as well")
Passage 7
Different relationships have effects on teenagers in many ways. Friends influence teenagers almost the
same amount as their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask questions that they could not ask
their parents about. Most of their friends give them good advice. In most cases, they tell their friends how to
dress and act when being around certain people.
Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to fail in
school because they are hanging out with their boyfriends or girlfriends instead of doing their work.
Parents have a big influence on teenagers because their children look up to them and the majority of them
grow up to act and do things just like their parents did with them. Children who have experienced with a
family break-up may have lower achievements than children brought up in an intact family.
As previously stated, teenagers are affected by many relationships which involve their friends, family,
and their love relationships. The relationships affect them so much that most teenagers change their ideas
about how they should live their lives in a different way and to change their future goals. They should be
influenced to help themselves or to help others.
1. Relationships can ________.
A. influence teenagers in many aspects of their lives.
B. help teenagers to decide the future goals in love relationships.
C. help others to form relationships.
D. help teenagers to follow their future goals with their friends and family.
2. Teenagers go to their friends in order to ________.
A. impact them in various ways and the same amount.
B. ask how to dress when being around certain people.
C. have different relationships that their parents can't offer.
D. ask for help or advice that their parents can't give them.
3. Love relationships may make a teenager harder to get a good education because ________.
A. their boyfriend or girlfriend may make them fail in school
B. they tell their boyfriend or girlfriend how to dress to how to act
C. they hang out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of studying

Passage 8
It is common knowledge that the Internet, often called simply Net, is the largest network of computers
in the world. It connects businesses, institutions and individuals. One of its main uses is communication, and
electronic mail, or e-mail, is probably the most popular use of the Internet. Although the Net is widely used by
people of all ages, many adults are now concerned about is possibly harmful effects on young people.
For example, chatting is a popular activity on the Net. Electronic chat rooms are Internet sites where
people can communicate directly with one another. These chat rooms are quite popular with children.
However, adults with inappropriate or illegal motives may also join chat rooms. Sometimes these adults try to
arrange face-to-face meetings with unsuspecting victims. There have cases where children have been tricked
by adults who pass them off as children and who give information that provokes to be entirely false.
Another cause of worry for parents is the huge amount of information accessible to users of the
Internet. Not all information on the Net is accurate, and some deliberately misleading. In addition, parents
worry that children may be exposed to harmful material. For instance, there are innumerable sites where
explicitly violent or pornographic scenes are shown. Moreover, many organizations maintain hate sites that
present racist or politically extreme views.
The Internet has tremendous potential for good, but it has also led to some serious questions about
appropriate use. Where protection of their children is needed, parents should not hesitate to intervene.
Unlimited freedom on the Net can lead to serious, sometimes dangerous, consequences.
Question 1: The author generally believes that children _____.

Throughout history, there have always been 1___________ between parents and their teenage children. Here
are some of the main reasons and explanations.
No matter how old their teenage children are, most parents still treat them like small kids. As they try to help
their children to 2___________ the surrounding world, parents strongly believe they know what is best for
their children. However, as children grow up, they want to be more 3____________, create their own
opinions, and make their own decisions. They don’t feel comfortable when their parents still keep treating
them like little kids.
One common area of conﬂict is the clothes children want to wear. Parents may think that these clothes break
4_____________ and norms of society, or distract them from schoolwork. What is more, some teens want
expensive brand name clothes, which can lead to a financial burden on their parents because many
cannot afford the high prices.
Another source of conﬂict is the way children spend their free time. Parents may think that their children
should spend their time in a more useful way 5__________ than playing computer games or chatting online.
But children do not always see things the way their parents do.
1. conflicts 2. discover 3. independent 4. rules 5. rather
Read carefully and then decide these statements are true, false or not given
The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another, especially
between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts. Such family conflicts can
seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times.
It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as small kids and keep in
mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or have wise choices. Therefore, they
tend to make a great attempt to help their children to discover the outside world. Nevertheless, they forget that
as children grow up, they want to be more independent and develop their own identity by creating their own
opinions, thoughts, styles and values about life.
One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen on wearing
fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who value traditional clothes believe
that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of the society. It becomes worse when the expensive
brand name clothes teens choose seem to be beyond the financial capacity of parents.
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education between parents
and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at their feet and that dazzling future
opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However, their parents try to impose their choices of
university or career on them regardless of their children's preference.
Indeed, conflicts between parents and children are the everlasting family phenomena. It seems that the best
way to solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and understanding.
Questions True False NG
1. According to the passage, the relationship between parents and children is not
easily destroyed by the family conflicts.
2. As children get older, parents let them live on their own way and do what they
are interested in.
3. Teenagers try to please their parents by wearing traditional clothes.
4. Parents want children to follow their wishes in deciding the education and
future jobs.
5. Some parents indulge their children with expensive brand name clothes.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However, it was
difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of
the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new
capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The
advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report
suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both
locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation,
the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of
Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’
and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad
itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and
would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with
industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for
education, recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free
atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings, and
well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a superb example of good urban planning.

the questions.
Around the world, Rio de Janeiro is famous for its beautiful beaches and Carnival celebration. But the
city is also known for its poor areas, known as favelas. For years, many favelas had high poverty and crime
rates. However, things are starting to change.
In the past, many favelas received very little government assistance. Neighborhood residents had to
build their own streets and homes. Gangs were also com guns. However, a new government plan is starting to
change this. The city is sending thousands of police officers into favelas with the goal of driving out the
gangs. In some favelas, the plan is already working. Crime is down, and unlike in the past, children arc
playing in the streets again. New apartment buildings are being built, and the city is providing more services.
"In 20 years," says police officer Leonardo Nogueira, "the children who live here now ... will be different
people."
Police influence is changing the favelas, but something else is, too. Today, more Brazilians are moving
into these neighborhoods because housing is expensive in other parts of Rio. "Favelas are a place for young
doctors without much money to get started and young architects to start working,” explains Simone Miranda,
a Rio tour guide. In the past, favela residents felt different - separate from the rest of Rio. “But now," says
Miranda, "they feel part of the society of Brazil.”
Life is improving in the favelas, but there are still challenges. In some areas, poverty rates are still
high. As students, families, and foreigners move into the favelas, property costs skyrocket. In some places,
housing has more than doubled in price. Despite this, favela residents are hopeful. If Rio can develop these
favelas for all residents – both poor and middle class - the city could become a model for other cities with
similar problems.
1. Which of the following best serves as the title for this passage?
A. A History of Rio's Favelas B. Crime on the Rise in Rio's Favelas

the questions.
Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a
bias against big cities. Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption,
crime, poverty, and moral degradation. Their distrust was caused, in part, by a notional ideology that
proclaimed farming the greatest Occupation and rural living superior to urban living. This attitude prevailed
even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the notional
landscape. Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology. Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the
farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city. But when these people migrated from the countryside,
they carried their fears and suspicions with them. These new urban population, already convinced that cities
were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring
order out of the chaos of the city.
One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities. Water and sewerage systems were usually
operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned. Reformers
feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these essential services
and deliver them only to people who would afford them, some city and state governments responded by
regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves.
Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to
these utilities and guarantee a fair price.
While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a
whole. Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities
should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning was nothing new,
but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any
consideration for order. Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses. Some cities
introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans
for regulating future growth. Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set
aside for industrial or commercial development.

Thailand's most celebrated festival is the Songkran Festival. It starts on April 13 and lasts between
three to ten days, depending on where you are in Thailand. The word Songkran is from Sanskrit, meaning the
beginning of a new solar year.
The festival begins on April 13 and everyone is awakened at dawn to the sound of firecrackers used to
drive away evil spirits. This is the day when everything is scrupulously cleaned from the self, clothes,
Buddha images, to houses, shops and streets in preparation for the New Year.
April 14 is the day between the old year and the new year. It is customary not to quarrel or use harsh
words on one another. The morning is spent shopping and preparing food for the following day, while the
afternoon is reserved for visiting a temple in the neighborhood. It is imperative that they carry a fistful of sand
with them to compensate for the dirt that they have carried away from the temple during their visits
throughout the year. The sand is then sculpted into stupa-shaped piles.
April 15 marks the New Year's Day called Wan Phya Wan. It is a day of great importance. It is
customary to visit the temple early in the morning to take food to the monks, as a form of merit making and
later in the afternoon to return to place small banners, known as Thung, on the top of the stupas built the day
before.
After that, visits to family and relatives are carried out. The gifts during the visit include areca nuts,
clove leaves, turmeric water and acacia oil. Family members ask for forgiveness from their respected elders
for any wrong doings they may have committed throughout the year and to receive their blessings for the year
to come. At the end of this ceremony, a little water is sprinkled onto the hands and heads of the old people as a
blessing and then quite a lot is thrown at the rest of the family in anticipation of the water wars that are to
follow.

The 22nd Southeast Asian Games were held in Viet Nam from the 5 th to 13th December, 2003. Although
it was the first time Viet Nam hosted such a big sports event, the Games were a great success. The Games
really became a festival that impressed sports enthusiasts with its spirit: solidarity, co-operation for peace and
development.
Athletes from 11 participating countries competed in 32 sports, and 444 gold medals were won. Some
teams such as table tennis, badminton, karate, volleyball, basketball and wrestling were composed of top
competitors in the region. Many Games records were close to international levels. Viet Nam won 158 gold
medals to finish at the top of the Southeast Asian Games medal standings. Thailand ranked second with 90
golds, and Indonesia was third with only 55 golds. Singapore and Viet Nam were the two nations which had
participants who were presented with the Most Outstanding Athlete titles in the Swimming and Shooting
events. The Vietnamese Women's Football team successfully defended the SEA Games title. Viet Nam and
Thailand played in the Men's Football Final. The Thai Team won the gold medal. In other sports such as
karate, athletics, bodybuilding and wushu, the young and energetic Vietnamese athletes performed excellently
and won a lot of gold medals.

carried out an intensive programme for its athletes, which included training in facilities, both home and
abroad. Secondly, with the strong support of their countrymen, the Vietnamese athletes competed in high
spirits. The country's success has proved that Viet Nam can organise sporting events on an international level.

Singapore was one of the five original member countries that founded ASEAN in 1967. Since its
independence in 1965, Singapore has become one of the world’s most prosperous countries, with per capita
GDP equalling that of the leading nations of Western Europe. Singapore is highly ranked for its economic
competitiveness, and it was the world’s most competitive country from 1997 to 1999 as ranked by the World
Economic Forum.
Singapore’s strategic location at the entrance to the Strait of Malacca has helped it to become one of the most
important shipping centres in Asia. The Port of Singapore, the world’s busiest in terms of shipping tonnage, is
a key component of Singapore’s prosperity and economic health. Singapore is a leader in manufacturing of
computer components, petroleum refining, and business services.
Singapore has made an impressive recovery after the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998. The government is
currently restructuring the economy by promoting higher-value-added activities in line with a “knowledge-
based” economy, and by opening up protected sectors such as financial services to increase overall efficiency.
Various bilateral free-trade agreements are also being negotiated to improve market access and encourage
foreign investment inflows.

When Malaysia takes the ASEAN chair next year, it will face a huge challenge. Too few of us know enough
about this grouping we call the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. We do not know what it means to be
a part of ASEAN and why it is important to us. At the same time, pressure is mounting to reinvent ASEAN to
make it more people-centric and less government-centric. The Heat speaks to Global Movement of Moderates
CEO Saifuddin Abdullah on why ASEAN should mean more to us than just acronyms.
ASEAN people do not feel like they are a part of the community of Southeast Asian nations. This statement,
backed up by survey findings, is pretty bizarre, and extremely hurtful too, considering that ASEAN is 47 years
old today. “Interview 10 persons on the street and you would perhaps get only one of them who knows about
ASEAN,” says Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah. This CEO of Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) is not
running down ASEAN; he’s confronting the truth as it impacts the project he has been entrusted with. Here’s
more, in 2012, the ASEAN Secretariat conducted a survey that showed only 34% of Malaysians had heard of
the ASEAN community. This compares with 96% of Laotians. Malaysia chairs ASEAN next year, and GMM
is a member of the national steering committee organising the ASEAN People’s Forum (APF), a platform
designed to bridge the gap between governments and civil society. Never heard of it? You’re forgiven.
The APF actually started off life in the 1990s, except it was called the ASEAN People’s Assembly (APA). It
was held back to back with the ASEAN Summit, which is held twice a year. The APA is the forum where 10
leaders of government engage with 10 leaders of civil society in a half-hour meeting. “It was going well until
one year when the chairman decided not to hold the APA, so it was discontinued until 2005 when Malaysia
took the chairmanship of ASEAN again and founded the ASEAN People’s Forum (APF),” Saifuddin explains.
In a perfect world, forums such as the APF or its predecessor APA would have worked perfectly to bridge the
gap between government and civil society.
Question 1: According to the passage, in 1990s, APF was called ____.
A. ASEAN People’s Assembly B. ASEAN People’s Forum
C. Civil Society Organisations D. Global Movement of Moderates
Đáp án: A
Thông tin: The APF actually started off life in the 1990s, except it was called the ASEAN People's Assembly
(APA).
Dịch: APF thực sự bắt đầu vào những năm 1990, ngoại trừ nó được gọi là Hội đồng Nhân dân ASEAN
(APA).
Question 2: The word “acronyms” in paragraph 1 probably means ____.
A. abbreviations B. antonyms C. enlargements D. synonyms
Đáp án: A
Acronym = abbreviation (từ viết tắt)
Question 3: The phrase “backed up” in paragraph 2 has similar meaning to ____.
A. concluded B. introduced C. proved D. supported
Đáp án: D
Backed up = supported (được ủng hộ)
Question 4: According to the passage, Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah was CEO of ____.
A. APA B. APF C. CSOs D. GMM
Thông tin: ....says Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah. This CEO of Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) is not
running down ASEAN.

As the 21st century dawns, ASEAN is embracing a new vision of itself as “a concert of Southeast Asian
nations, living in peace, stability and prosperity, bonded together in partnership in dynamic development and
in a community of caring societies”.
The ASEAN region stretches across three time zones and incorporates a key part of Asia’s continental
landmass and several archipelagos. Economically, it belongs to the developing world, but some of its member
countries have joined the world’s top 20 most competitive economies. Its population of about 600 million
constitutes a huge, increasingly middle-class market, half the size of China’s. One of every ten persons in the
world today is a Southeast Asian. Besides its economic importance and the natural resources, its marine
territories are believed to hold. Southeast Asia is also of global strategic importance. It is the bridge between
the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It has some of the busiest sea-lanes in the world. The oil tankers and freighters
that pass daily through these sea-lanes strengthen Japan’s status as an industrial power.

given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect
pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favorable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
stated, ‘Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate
change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”

Energy is fundamental to human beings, especially to poor people – the one- third of humanity that does
not have modern energy supplies like electricity, with which their life could be improve.
Many people who live in countryside have to gather fuel wood. This takes a lot of time. Moreover, it
causes indoor air pollution because of heavy smoke. For many people living in rural areas in developing
countries of the world, biogas is the large energy resources available and costs almost nothing. The main use
of biogas is for cooking and heating. As biogas is smoke-free, it helps solve the problem of indoor air
pollution. Moreover, plant waste and animal manure cost almost nothing.
The tendency to use renewable energy sources is on the increase when non-renewable ones are running
out. In the near future, people in the developing countries may use wind or sea waves as the environment-
friendly energy sources.

the questions.
The greenhouse effect is always reported as being a negative consequence of current human lifestyle
practices. However there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences of the
greenhouse effect.
A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world may improve conditions for
agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others. However, they do not balance
with overall negative impacts. The social, economic and ecological disorders brought about by such climatic
changes worldwide are projected to greatly outweigh regional benefits.
The impacts of global warming and climate change could become a source of increased tension
between nations and regions. While the developed, industrialized world is responsible for 75% of all CO2
emissions, these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of the world. For
example, as sea levels rise countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss of valuable and
populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have emitted only a tiny
fraction of the greenhouse gases.
The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate refugees. Where will
these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will seriously worsen the already
critical refugee problem in the world. A severe disorder of the world's food supplies through floods, droughts,
crop failures and diseases brought about by climate change would lead to famines, wars and civil disorder in
many countries.
1. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Greenhouse effect brings us more benefits than negative impacts.
B. Greenhouse effect brings us more negative impacts than benefits.
C. Current reports on the greenhouse effect are not accurate.
D. Reports should focus on suggestions of positions consequences of the greenhouse effect.
(chú ý đoạn 2, câu "they do not balance with overall negative impacts")

A. The developed countries
B. The developing countries
C. The countries with valuable and populated lands
D. European or North American countries
(chú ý đoạn 3, câu "these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts

3. Why will there be an increased tension between countries?
A. The developed countries are a source of disasters upon the underdeveloped countries.
B. The developed countries head lots of climate refugees to the underdeveloped countries.
C. The developed countries will suffer more than the underdeveloped countries.
D. The European or North American countries will lose more valuable and populated lands.

the questions.
El Niño and La Niña
Typically, Pacific trade winds blow from east to west, transporting warm surface waters westward,
east of Indonesia and northeast of Australia. Thus, the water maintains a cold temperature for much of the
year. This is achieved by an upwelling of cold deep ocean-water, which benefits fisheries in the Pacific Ocean
lying near the equator. However, these trade winds sometimes lose or gain strength in the Northern
Hemisphere. This leads to an effect known as the Southern Oscillation which refers to the two recurring
weather patterns of El Niño and La Niña.
El Niño, meaning the "boy," is the phenomenon that results in the temperature of the sea surface off
the coast of Peru increasing. This condition typically lasts for at least six months. Thus, there is a reduction in
dissolved oxygen in the ocean so marine life declines devastating fisheries. It also fuels major differences in
air pressure near the Pacific Ocean, which in turn leads to more severe weather events including droughts,
increased precipitation, flooding, and even cyclonic storms like hurricanes. Usually, the eastern Pacific region
has an upswing in heavy rains to cause flooding, and in contrast, Australia and Indonesia have droughts, often
with accompanying forest fires. These two opposing weather events hurt agriculture. For instance, the 1982 –
1983 El Niño, recognized as the worst weather event of the century, hit hard in the U.S. by dropping huge
amounts of rainfall on the southern California coast, which resulted in millions of dollars of damage while
necessitating the evacuation of 10,000 people.
1. The word "upwelling" in the passage most likely means ____.
A. climbing B. surging C. rising D. fluctuating
(oupwelling” gần nghĩa với “rising”, mang nghĩa "tăng lên")
2. Which of the following is stated in paragraph 1?
A. Cold water is conducive to marine life and beneficial to the fishing industry.
B. El Niño and La Niña are yearly recurrences affecting the Earth's climate and weather systems.
C. Some regions in Indonesia and Austria are often damaged by the Southern Oscillation.
D. Trade winds blow to the east across the Pacific ocean cooling ocean temperatures.
("conducive to ST" có nghĩa "có lợi cho việc gì”; chú ý đoạn I, câu “an upwelling of cold deep ocean-
water, which benefits fisheries in the Pacific Ocean lying near the equator")
3. Why are droughts, increased precipitation, flooding, and even cyclonic storms mentioned?
A. To compare the damage in the eastern and western Pacific regions
B. To name some of the devastating results of El Niño
C. To contrast the power between El Niño and La Niña
D. To show that there are worse outcomes compared to a difference in air pressure
(mục đích là để nêu ra những tác hại của El Niño)
4. The word "fuels" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. decreases B. increases C. supplies D. distinguishes
(“fuel” trong ngữ cảnh này sẽ mang nghĩa “gia tăng, làm tăng lên”, “increase")
5. It is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 that ____.
A. one El Niño event can be expected to last at least half a year
B. Pacific trade winds that cause El Niño are weaker than ones that cause La Niña
C. El Niño is caused by a rise in water temperatures off Peru's shores
D. marine life is affected by lowered oceanic oxygen levels
(câu không được đề cập trong đoạn 2 đó là gió mậu dịch Thái Bình Dương” - “Pacific trade winds” mà
tạo ra El Niño thì yếu hơn gió tạo ra La Niña)
Read the passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to each question.
Contaminated water and poor sanitation are linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhea,
dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid and polio. Absent, inadequate, or inappropriately managed water and
sanitation services expose individuals to preventable health risks. This is particularly the case in health care
facilities where both patients and staff are placed at additional risk of infection and disease when water,
sanitation and hygiene services are lacking. Globally, 15% of patients develop an infection during a hospital
stay, with the proportion much greater in low-income countries.
Inadequate management of urban, industrial and agricultural wastewater means the drinking-water of
hundreds of millions of people is dangerously contaminated or chemically polluted. Natural presence of
chemicals, particularly in groundwater, can also be of health significance, including arsenic and fluoride,
while other chemicals, such as lead, may be elevated in drinking-water as a result of leaching from water
supply components in contact with drinking-water.
Some 829,000 people are estimated to die each year from diarrhea as a result of unsafe drinking-water,
sanitation and hand hygiene. Yet diarrhea is largely preventable, and the deaths of 297,000 children aged
under 5 years could be avoided each year if these risk factors were addressed. Where water is not readily
available, people may decide handwashing is not a priority, thereby adding to the likelihood of diarrhea and
other diseases.
Diarrhea is the most widely known disease linked to contaminated food and water but there are other
hazards. In 2017, over 220 million people required preventative treatment for schistosomiasis - an acute and
chronic disease caused by parasitic worms contracted through exposure to infested water.
In many parts of the world, insects that live or breed in water carry and transmit diseases such as dengue
fever. Some of these insects, known as vectors, breed in clean, rather than dirty water, and household drinking
water containers can serve as breeding grounds. The simple intervention of covering water storage containers
can reduce vector breeding and may also reduce faecal contamination of water at the household level.
1. The passage is mainly about __________.
A. diarrhea
B. water pollution
C. diarrhea and other diseases
D. diarrhea and other diseases caused by water pollution
2. The phrase “risk factors” in the third paragraph refers to__________.
A. industrial and agricultural waste
B. poor sanitation
C. chemicals in drinking water
D. unsafe drinking-water, sanitation and hand hygiene
3. The word “transmit” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to__________.
A. spread B. break C. conceal D. retain
4. According to the third paragraph, how many people may possibly have diarrhea each year?
A. 297,000 B. 829,000 C. 1,126,000 D. more than 829,000
5. Which of the following diseases is not mentioned in the passage?
A. cancer B. polio C. schistosomiasis D. dengue fever
6. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A. In low-income countries, the proportion of patients developing an infection during a hospital stay is
higher than 15%.
B. Arsenic and fluoride are natural presence of chemicals in groundwater.
C. Insects that carry and transmit diseases only breed in clean water.
D. Diarrhea is preventable for people of all ages.

Health Benefits of Yoga
Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga style that is
suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga, etc. If you are a yoga beginner,
Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comfortable pace, would be great for you. If you want to
increase strength through using more of your own body’s resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you.
Whether you prefer you're at home, in a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a
huge variety of options available to suit your goals and needs.
Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga. During your first class, you
probably won’t be able to touch your toes. But if you stick with it, you’ll notice a gradual loosening, and
eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the
muscles around the spine, the very center of your body, which is the core from which everything else operates.
When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back, shoulder, and neck pain.
Strong muscles do more than look good. They also protect us from conditions like arthritis and back pain,
and help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build strength through yoga, you balance it with
flexibility. If you just went to the gym and lifted weights, you might build strength at the expense of
flexibility.
Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the relaxation exercises you learn in yoga can help
your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. Yoga also gets more oxygen to your cells, which function
better as a result. Twisting poses are thought to wring out venous blood from internal organs and allow
oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released.
Many studies found that a consistent yoga practice improved depression and led to greater levels of
happiness and better immune function.

A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However, it was
difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of
the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new
capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The
advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report
suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both
locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation,
the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of
Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’
and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad
itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and
would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with
industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for
education, recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free
atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings, and
well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a superb example of good urban planning.

VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Try to understand a situation from your friend's point of view. Ask questions to get a sense of the
problem or issue, but the main thing is to listen to them. You don't have to have all the answers, and don't
assume that your friend wants advice - they might just want to talk so that they can work it out for
themselves.
If your friend has a medical or mental health issue, a good way to offer support is to learn about what
they've been diagnosed with. Being interested in what they're going through shows you care, and that you plan
to stick around no matter what's going on.
If you're worried about someone and you want to be there for them, ask them what they need. You'll
then know what they find helpful during tough times, and you can offer them support in a way that's genuinely
helpful.
Hugging your friends is a great way to show you care for them. Physical contact can be really
comforting, especially when someone feels alone.
Even if you don't live nearby, show your friends you're there for them by making an effort to keep in
regular touch through social media, emails, texts and calls.
You don't have to make a big deal about it all the time, but you can make a real difference to how
someone is feeling just by letting them know how important they are to you. So, go for it!
If you think your friend's safety is at risk, you might need to act without their consent and get help. It
can be a tough call, particularly when you're worried how they'll react, but remember that good friends care
enough to step up, and that you're doing it to protect them from harm.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
My parents had a very different upbringing to what I have today... It's like we grew up in parallel
universes. They were from Ireland, and grew up in secure homes, in the middle of the countryside with no
cares in the world. I live in inner-city Birmingham, and with peer pressure, school stress and lots of other
things to deal with, I think that I have a much tougher life than they had.
Times have definitely changed. We have a lot of responsibility as teenagers, and we have to act like
adults. It depends on where you have grown up and who you hang around with, but I think most people start
drinking alcohol around the age of 13 and lose their virginity around the age of 14. There isn't a definite age
that most people try drugs. I am nearly 16 years old and I have never tried any, but I know plenty of people
who have. This really depends on who you hang around with and how much will-power you have to say no.
I think that a lot of teenagers are discriminated against wrongly by adults. A few days ago, I was on
my way home in a rush because I was late, it was very dark and I was running. I ran past a middle-aged
woman, and as I went past I brushed her shoulder. She let out a scream and grabbed a tight hold of her
handbag. I found this really funny; she thought I was going to mug her.
Most teenagers have part-time jobs, which creates responsibility and the premature need to behave in
an adult way. I've been working since I was about 13 (I look older than I am, and can lie about my age) but
most teens start at around 15.
We need to have a certain level of trust put in us. We need to feel wanted and important, and not
constantly targeted and victimized by the media. After all, if the media is constantly attacking teens and
branding them as thugs, then that is the way we will act.

I spend my days fighting poverty in New York City, so this time of year I get asked a lot at holiday
parties what people can do to help the poor. I like the question. At the Robin Hood Foundation, we've spent 27
years trying to answer it.
As with any complex social issue, there are myriad reasons that people are poor. So we break down the
problem to create short and long-term change. We aim to make life better for people who are poor while at the
same time attacking the root causes of poverty. Once we've identified the various needs, we use empirical
data to identify and support programs that create real results.
It's a process that works for our organization, and it can work for charity-minded individuals too.
Getting smart about the underlying causes of poverty will allow you to connect on a deeper level, which
matters: Donors are more likely to commit to a cause when it resonates emotionally. From there, you can then
do a little digging to determine which organization is worthy of your support.
So, in case we don't see each other at a party this season, there are six key barriers poor people
regularly face: homelessness, hunger, health, unemployment, immigration, and education. And while they are
often interconnected, eliminating just one leads to an improved living standard. Whichever tugs at your heart,
there's a group in your area ready to use your time or money effectively.

Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than
one family together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to name a few. No matter the "type"
of family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad.
Many times, however, families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and
confusion. These emotions are natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences
with them. The worst time for most families, is during a divorce.
By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is
possible to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support;
they can be sources of lifelong strength for all individuals.
It is never too late to begin the process of improving family relationships – even if they are already of
good quality - by developing some simple skills.
Whereas in other situations you can step back and assess the relationship, it is often hard to do this
with your family. Your family may be a constant presence in your life, so when an argument or issue arises, it
may seem impossible to handle.
Remember that communication is key to resolving conflict. While it may seem that your siblings are
constantly present to annoy you or boss you around, they are also there to communicate.
Use your family's presence to your advantage – communicate with each other, develop ways to value
boundaries, and build trust and respect.
28. The passage mainly discusses ____.
A. families in the 21st century
B. how to keep and improve family relationships
C. what changes to make for a happier family
D. family problems and solutions in the 21st century

of the questions.
Sometimes our parents don't understand us. They don't understand some problems and things which
are very important in teens' life; for example, the lifestyles of young people, piercing, tattoos, drugs, sex,
relationship with friends and teachers. So, sometimes teens can't tell them about their private life. Some
parents don't want to understand modern views, ideals and system of values.
Elderly people usually compare their childhood and youth with the present, and regard old times as
better, always talking about "the good old days”. The young people, on the other hand, tend to think their
times as the best. Teens look at the world with fresh eyes. Everything is new, interesting to them. Sometimes
they cannot solve their everyday problems. But they want to cope with them by themselves. So, adults
shouldn't prevent them from making their own mistakes.
People are said to become wiser with age. Sometimes, it is true and sometimes it is not. I think that
you can meet a wise man among the old as often as among the young. It is false that when old age wisdom has
come, useless illusions have disappeared. Sometimes when we talk to adults, a monologue is a preferred form
of expressing your ideas in such talks. That's why some teens don't like to talk to adults.
I think that it's in people's nature to give advice. It seems to people that giving advice they can help
somebody or put somebody on the right track. But if a person takes their advice and fails, he can blame an
adult all of his life.
Our parents have their own ideas and views that their children don't share and understand. They think
that their children won't find their place in life. They often say that now teens are very difficult to socialize
with and dumpy. But children should settle all problems peacefully because they are their parents. They
brought them up with loving care. And if children come to their parents for advice and help, they will do their
best and help children to cope with problems and difficulties.
35. The passage mainly discusses ____.
A. how difficult it is for teenagers to communicate with adults
B. how to improve communication between teens and adults
C. causes of troubles in relationships between teens and adults
D. solutions to problems in relationships between teens and adults
