In the Urrited States, friendslrips can be close. constant.:ntense, generolrs and
real. yet fade away in a shoft tirne if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt
by tl"ris. Both rnay exchange Christmas greetings fbr a year or two. pcrhaps a few
letters fbr a u,hile - then no rnore. If the sanre ti,vo people meet again by chance,
even years later, they pick up the friendship,uvhere it left off anci are delightecl.
ln the ,States, yolr can feel free to visit people's homes, share their liolidays, or
enjoy their lives r.vithout fear tlrat you are taking on a lasting obligation" Do not
hesitate to accept hospitality'because vou can't give it in return. No one r.viil expect
you to do so for they knorv you are lar lrom horne. Anrericarrs wilt enjoy
welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easi!y.
Once you arrive there, the r.velconte will be full antJ warm and real. Most visitors
find themselves readily invited into many homes tlrere. In sorle countries it is
considered inhospitable to enteftain at home, offbring wlrat is felt as only home cookecl
food, not "doing something for your guest". It is fett rhat restalrrant entirtaining sSows
more respect and welconte. Or for otlrer different reasous, such as crowded space,

pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He lranded me a paper. I

student, I talked too rnuch, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long
as I colld. At last. I became very angry. I ran to rny father w'itl: tears in my eyes.
He listened to rne quietly, ancl then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?
Janet, didn't you ever wonder rvhat you're really like? Well, you norv have that
girl's opinions. Co and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that
are true. Pay' no attention to tlte other things slre said."
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things
were true. Some of thern I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good
number I could - and suddenly I rvanted to change. For the first tirne went to fairly
clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.
"That's just for vou," he said. "You knorv better than anyone else the truth about
yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close \rotlr ears in anger and
feeling hurt. When something said abor"rt you is true, you'ii fino it will be of help to
you. Our lvorld is full of people who think they know your duty. Don't slrut your
ears. Listen to th'em all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing
to do."

about the passage:
Water is necessary for life. People can live only a few days',titltotrt it. Yet
nearly 25 rnilliorr people die each ,vear because of it. Both industrial nations and
less developed countries are worried about the quality and qtrantitv of water in the
world.
The Unitecl Nations named the l980sthe World Water Uecade. The UN hoped
to provide pure water for everyone by 1990.
One of the problerrrs about water is distribr,rtion. Water is not alw'aYs distributed
where the large population ceuters are. Some regions get enough rain. but it is all in
one or two short raitty seasotrs.
Over half of the rvorld is rvithout pure drinl..ing water. Seventy-five percent of
city people have safe w'ater, but only 29 percent of rural people do. About 80
peicent of all illness is related to bad u,ater. Million of women and childrerr spend
up to six hours a day carrying water. When tlrese womer finish carryitrg water and
doing their domestic work. they' don't have time for anything else. In some dry
areas, children stay home fronr school to help carry waler-
The United Nations hopes to change this situation. It is attempting to develop
water systems that people can aftbrd. Villages rvill be able to create and take care
of these systems thenrselves, a,rd other villages can copy them. UNICEF, the
World Bank, and otirer organ;zations are helping. Local, national, and international
organizations must all work together to improve the quality of life of rnillions of
people with pure water.

refused to give us a refund because we cancelled too late (l). I was pretty fed up
about it. Then something nice happened. I think the travel agent felt sorry for me.
because he had failed his final exam when he was a student (2). Anyway, he had a
cancellation on a tour which started later in tlre summer. So lre was able to transfer
my booking (3) I was very pleased. My father was too. as transferring the booking
meant that his money wasn't being wasted (4). So, I went on this tour. And I met

81
 this y'oung man. He was on his own too. He told me his girlfriend should
have been
*ith him. but they'd had a row and she'd refused to cJme (5). we *".. irr..rry

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For
manl i\mericans it is the most imporlarrt holiday apart from Christmas. Schools,
offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving. and rnany people make the
whole weekend a vacation. Thanksgiving is associated with the time when
Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflower anived,
bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at
the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of

88
them died. But in the following summer Native Americans shou'ed thern what
foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a
big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that the1, had
survived. Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early' days. The
most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come
from North America. The meal includes turke1,. sweet potatoes (also called yams)
and cranberries. which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled
with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Desser-t
is pumpkin made into a pie. Ori Thanksgiving there are special television programs
and sports events. In New York there is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
when a long line of people r.vearing fancy costumes march through the streets rn'itir
large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the
beginning of the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for
Christmas presents.

XIII. Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions
below.
In Vietnam, the first day of the first month of the lunar year occurs after the rice
crop has been harvested and before the crop is planted. This is the one time during
the year when farmers are able to relax. Because Vietnatn was primarily an
agricultural sociefy, the celebration of Tet lasted for several rveeks. Even today, Tet
is the equivalent of Thanksgiving, Christmas and several other holidays rolled up
into one.
Preparations for Tet are elaborate and take many days. Families save throughout
the year to provide for the expenses of Tet. Houses are repainted, thoroughly
cleaned and decorated with flowers and peach and plurn branches. New Year's
wishes for happiness, prosperity and long life are artistically written on red paper
and displayed in prominent places.
On the Eve of Tet. after praying to the Cods and ancestors, families gather for a
special meal. Children often travel far to be home with their parents and otlter
relatives on this night. After eating, the young people dress up and go around the
city in groups. At rnidnight, there are perforrnances of fireu,cirks in the big cities -
Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Danang - welcoming in the Nerv Year. Familr
me.mbers exchange gifts, toast the New Year with wine and chainpagne. and u ish
each other "Chuc Mung Nam Moi" (Happy New Year).
Tet is the tirne for paying calls to relatives and friends. Rarely does a person
receive a visit without retuming it. People go out in their best clothes and go to one

89
 another's lrouses to exchange New Year's greetings and talk about

46 - 50. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question
about the passage:
Telecommuting is some form of computer comrnunication between employee's
homes and offices. For employees wlrose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or w'ord
processor entering data or typing reports. the location of the computer is of no
consequence. If the machine can communicate over the telephone lines. when the
work is completed, .employees can dial the office computer and transmit the
material to their ernployers. A recent survey in USA Today estinrates tlrat there are
approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. Althouglr the nunrbers are rising
annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Busines,s
Iteek published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why
hasn't telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active
resistance on the part of lnany nlauagers. These executives claim that supervising
the telecommuters in a large work force scaffered across the country would be too
difficult, or, at least, systems for marragin g them are not yet developed, thereby
complicating the rnanager responsibi I ities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are
often reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular
interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same
consideration for advancement if they are not rnore visible in the office setting.
Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area,
they never really get away from the office.

A. An overview of,telecommuting.
B. The advantages of telecommuting.

B. More than predicted in Business Week.
C. More than 8 million.
D. Fewer than estirnated in U.ll Today.
48.The word "resistance" could best be replaced by
A. alteration
49.The word "them" refers to

XIII. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question
about the passage:
When I rvas in Scotlarrd last year, I visited a special lrydfoplegldA power station.
It is inside a mountain. lt rains a lot in the rnountains of Scotland and tlrere are
huge lakes high up. The water falls down throLrgh large pipes to a generator in the
po\ver station. The errergv of the nroving water turns the generator and this
produces electric'ity. A big transformer then increases the number of volts to over
400,000. The electricity goes througlr cables to different parts of Scotland, England
and Wales.
The inside of the power station was vely clean because it doesn't burn coal or
-qas.
It was also very qLriet, Iwas very surprised. It was.iust like being in a hospital,
really.
I think hydroelectric porver stations are much safer than nuclear power stations.
They are also better for the earJh tltan coal or gas power stations. Some countries
like Sweden and the Netherlands have said they aren't going to build any more
nuclear power stations. They are going to try to make clean electricity using water
or u'ind. I think we should do the same and spend rnore money in building

46 - 50. Choose the item among A, B, C or.D that best answers the question
about the passage:
The killer sea waves known as tsunamis are so quiet in their approach from afar,
so seemingly harmless. that until recently their history lras been one of the surprise
attacks. Out in the middle of the ocean, the distance between tsunami wave crest
can be 100 miles and the height of the waves no more than three feet: Mariners can
ride and suspect nothing. At the shoreline. the first sign is often an ebbing of the
waters that leaves fish stranded and slapping on the bottom. However, this is not a
retreat but rather a gathering of forces. When the great waves finally do strike, they
rear up arrd batter harbor and coast, inflicting death and damage.
These seismic sea waves - or tidal waves, as they are sometimes called - bear
no relation to the moon or tides. And the word 'tsunami,' Japanese for 'harbor
wave', relates to their destination rather than their origin. The causes are various:
undersea or coastal earthquake, deep ocean avalanches,' or volcanism, Whatever
the cause, the wave motion starts with a sudden jolt like a whack from a giant
paddle that displaces the water. And the greater the undersea whack, the greater the
tsunami's devastating power.
In 1883, Krakatoa volcano in the East Indies erupted, and the entire island
collapsed in 820 feet of water. A tsunami of tremendous force ricocheted around
Java and Sumatra, killing 36,000 people with walls that reached I l5 feet in height.
In 1946 a tsunami struck first near Alaska and then, without warning, hit the
Hawaiian Istands, killing 159 people and inflicting millions of dollars of damage.
This led to the creation of the Tsunami Warning System, whose nerve centre in
Honolulu keeps a round-the-clock vigil with the aid of new technology. If seismic
sea waves are confirmed by the Honolulu centre, warnings are transmitted within a
few hours to all threatened Pacific points. While tsunarni damage remains
unavoidable, lives lost today are more likely to be in the tens than in the thousands.
Tsunamis have been deprived of their most deadly sting-surprise.
46.Accordir1g to the passage. seismic sea waves...
A. originate far from the place rvhere they strike
B. are easily detected by fishermen
C. are named 'tsunami' for the origin of the wave in the harbor

films. If you w'ant sornething more exciting, yo, may experience your own
adventure. For example, you can go under the sea in a submarine to visit an ancient
castle' go with Alice to the wonderland, or even have a ride in a spaceship traveling
among the stars.

The Creat Pyramid of Giza, a monument of wisdom and prophecy, was

built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 BC. Despite its antiquity, certain
aspects of its construction make it one of the truly wonders of the world, The four
sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west
- an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and
great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on
astronom ical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal
many interesting lines, Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type
of line of events-past, present ancl future. Many of the events have been interpreted
and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for
future generations and are presently under investigation.
Was this super structure made by orriinary beings, or one built by a race far
superior to any known today?
l.Approximately how long ago was the Great Pyramid constructed?

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall started as earth works thrown up for protection by different
states. The individual sections weren't connected until the euin dynasW
e/l-206
B.c.). . Quin Shihuangdi, First Emperor of euin began conscripting peasants.
enemies, and anyone else who wasn't tied to the land to go to work on the Wall. He
garrisoned armies at the Wall tc stand guard over the workers as well as to defend
the northern boundaries. The tradition lasted for centuries, and each dynasty added to
the height, breath. lengh, and elaborated the design mostly through forced labor.
It was during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644)that the Wall took on irs present
form. The brick and granite work was enlarged and sophisticated designs were
added. The watch towers r.rere redesigned and modern canon *.r. r*nted in
strategic areas. The Portuguese had found a ready market. for guns and canon in
China, one of the few iteqrs of trade that China didn't already have in abundance.
The Ming Emperors, having overthrown the Hun dominance and expelled their
Mongol rulers of tlre North devoted large portions of available material and
manpower to making sure that they didn't return.
The Wall served well. Only when a dynasty had weakened from within were
invaders frorn the north able to advance and conquer. Both the Mongols (yuan
Dynasty, 1271-1368) and the Manchurians (eing Dyrasty, 1644-19l l) were able
take power. not because of weakness in the Wall but because of weakness in the
government and the poverfy of the people. They took advantage of rebellion from
within and stepped into the void of power without extended wars.
L When was the Creat Wall first formed'l
2. Wh1 did Emperor Quin Shihuangdi send armies to tlre Wall?

XII. Read the following passage carefully, and then answer the questions
below.

, Stonehenge
Stonehenge is surely Britain's grejtesi national icon, symbolizing mystery, pouer
and endurance. Its criginal purpose is unclear to us, but some irave speculated that it
was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth gods. It has been called an
astronomical observatory for making significant events on the prehistoric calendar.
Others claim that it was a sacred site for the burial of high-ranking citizens from the
societies of tong ago.
The stones we see today represent Stonehenge in ruin. Many' of the original
stones have fallen or been removed by previous generations for home construction or
road repair. There has been serious damage to some of the smaller bluestones
resulting frotn close visitors contact (prohibited since 1978), and the prehistoric
carvings on the larger sarsen stones show signs of significant wear.
In.its day, the constir-rction of Stonehenge was an impressive engineering feat,
requiring commitment, time and vast amounts of manual labor. In its first place.
Stonehenge was a large ear-thwork; a bank and ditch arrangement called a henge,
constructed approximateiy 5,000 years ago. It is believed that the ditch was dug with
tools made from the antlers of red deer and, possibly, wood. The underlying chalk
was loosened with picks and shoveled with shoulderblades of cattle. It was then
loaded into baskets and carried away. Modern experiments have shown that these
tool! were mote than equal to the great task of earth digging and moving.

Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet and is fifth in order distance from
the sun. It is well placed for observation for several months in every year and on
aveiage is the brightest of the planets apart from Venus, though for relatively brief
periods Mars may outshine it. Jupiter's less than lO,hour period gives it the
shortest day in the solar system insofar as the principal planets are concerned.
There are no true . seasolts on Jupiter because the axial inclination to the
perpendicular of the orbital plane is only just over 30 less than that for aly other
planet.
-
The rnost farnous mark on Jupiter is the Great Red Spot. It-has shor,vn variations
in both intensit)) and color, and at times it has been invisible, but it always returns
after a few years. At its greatest extent it may be 40,000 kilometers long and
14,000 kilometers wide, so its surface area is greater than that of Earth. 1'hough
the
latitude of the Red Spot varies little, it drifts about in tongitude. Over the past
century the total longitudinal drift has amounted to approximately 12000. The
latitude_is generally very close to -220.It was once thoughithat the Rea spot might
be,a solid or semisolid body floating in Jupiter,s outergas. However, the pionier
and Voyager results have refuted that idea and proven the Red spot to be a
phenomenon of Juvian meteorology. Its longeviry may well be due to its
exceptional size, but there are signs that it is decreasing in size, and it may not be
permanent. Several smaller red spots have been seen occasionatty but have not
lasted.
