The COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered severe social and economic disruption in 2021, has
forced domestic businesses to double their digitalisation efforts and to utilise advanced

restrictions.
2021 saw the rapid development of the country's digital infrastructure and applications as a

and technological discoveries, a 2.5 per cent increase compared to the previous year.
Vietnam has set a target to speed up the development of science and technology for the 2021-

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Contact lenses are being used to replace conventional glasses because sometimes glasses
are inconvenient. For instance, in sports, instead of using obnoxious sports goggles, many
athletes wear contact lenses for safety reasons. People can also use contact lenses if they
want to change the color of their eyes. You can wear contact lenses, for example, to have red
eyes with a vampire costume.
It is believed that Leonardo da Vinci first thought of the idea of wearing contact lenses for
better vision in the 1500s. He made sketches but there is no evidence that his design was ever
realized. Throughout the 1800s many scientists played with the idea of contact lenses but no

one perfected the use of them. The first models couldn’t be worn for long periods of time
because of their discomfort. As they were inflexible and did not let oxygen get to the eyes, in
some cases they caused more problems than they fixed. The earlier versions were also very
fragile and expensive, which made them not usable for many people.
It wasn't until the late 1900s that contact lenses started to be effective and affordable enough
for everyone to use. They became more and more popular as people became aware that there
was an alternative to wearing glasses. Nowadays, more advanced contact lenses have been
developed. They can not only fix poor vision but also improve good vision. Although contact
lenses have become very popular over the last few decades, laser technology now allows
people to improve their eyesight through a relatively quick, inexpensive, and painless
procedure. This technology may soon phase out contact lenses.

D. To give an example of the usefulness of contact lenses

the school fees. In 1718, he was apprenticed to his brother James, a local printer. He was well-
known for reading lots of books and continued his education on his own. Ten years later, he
started his own printing company in Philadelphia and soon became a newspaper owner.
Furthermore, Benjamin Franklin was one of the most respected politicians of his day. He was
part of the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence and was also the United

American Enlightenment. His work with electricity, as well as many other inventions, made him

requested a patent. He felt that his inventions should be used by everyone around him and
believed that all other inventors should feel the same way about their creations. He made a lot

development and improvement of technology. You can now do business with a person who is very far
from you without any difficulties. It has become easier to book railway tickets, bus tickets and even
flights at the comfort of your home without having to move. Also, it has become easy to advertise
through the Internet and thereby promoting the business in a faster way. The introduction of ATMs has

FRIENDS GLOBAL 11 REVISON UNITs 5&6

made it very possible to withdraw money at any time of the day. Banks now fill data in the computer
instead of doing it manually as they used to do in the old days. This makes it easier to find the name of
the customer, address, email address, birth date, phone numbers and even the location. Also, the
clients can get a very quick access at their account balances by logging in to the bank's website. With
the rise of computer technology, credit cards and other plastic money, it is very useful especially when
one does not have cash at hand or when one is ordering online products. Communication between
partners has been made easier, for example, the internet has brought email and chatting facilities.
Instead of sending letters to respective destinations, it is very easy to send an email to many people at
the same time.

The last two decades have seen enormous changes in the way people's lives are affected by IT.
Twenty years ago, few people had access to a computer whilst today most people use them at work,
home or school and use of e-mail and the Internet is an every day event.
These developments have brought many benefits to our lives. E-mail makes communication much
easier and more immediate. This has numerous benefits for business, commerce, and education. The
World Wide Web means that information on every conceivable subject is now available to us.
Clearly, .for many people this has made life much easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many people feel that the
widespread use of e-mail is destroying traditional forms of communication such as letter writing,
telephone and face-to-face conversation. In addition, the huge size of the Web means it is almost
impossible to control and regulate. This has led to many concerns regarding children accessing
unsuitable websites. In conclusion, developments in IT have brought many benefits, yet I believe
developments relating to new technology in the future are likely to produce many negative effects that
will need to be addressed very carefully.

Martin Luther King, Jf., is well- known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous
speeches, among which is his moving “I have a dream” speech. But fewer people know much about
King’s childhood.
M.L, as he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal
grandfather. M.L.’s grandfather purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before
M.L was born. His grandfather allowed the house to be used as a meeting place for a number of
organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew up in the
atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by
it.
M.L.’s childhood was not especially eventfully. His father was a minister and his mother was a
musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all black schools in a black
neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor, however. Auburn Avenue was an area of banks,
insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and other businesses and services.
Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation, the district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit
he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice that was a huge barrier keeping black
Atlantans from mingling with whites.

William Sydney Porter (1862-1910), who wrote under the pseudonym of O. Henry, was born in
North Carolina. His only formal education was to attend his Aunt Lina’s school until the age of fifteen,
where he developed his lifelong love of books. By 1881 he was a licensed pharmacist. However, within
a year, on the recommendation of a medical colleague of his Father’s, Porter moved to La Salle County
in Texas for two years herding sheep. During this time, Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary was his
constant companion, and Porter gained a knowledge of ranch life that he later incorporated into many of
his short stories. He then moved to Austin for three years, and during this time the first recorded use of
his pseudonym appeared, allegedly derived from his habit of calling “Oh, Henry” to a family cat. In
1887, Porter married Athol Estes. He worked as a draftsman, then as a bank teller for the First National
Bank.
In 1894 Porter founded his own humor weekly, the “Rolling Stone”, a venture that failed within a
year, and later wrote a column for the Houston Daily Post. In the meantime, the First National Bank was
examined, and the subsequent indictment of 1886 stated that Porter had embezzled funds. Porter then
fled to New Orleans, and later to Honduras, leaving his wife and child in Austin. He returned in 1897
because of his wife’s continued ill-health, however she died six months later. Then, in 1898 Porter was
found guilty and sentenced to five years imprisonment in Ohio. At the age of thirty-five, he entered
prison as a defeated man; he had lost his job, his home, his wife, and finally his freedom. He emerged
from prison three years later, reborn as O. Henry, the pseudonym he now used to hide his true identity.
He wrote at least twelve stories in jail, and after re-gaining his freedom, went to New York City, where
he published more than 300 stories and gained fame as America’s favorite short Story writer. Porter
married again in 1907, but after months of poor health, he died in New York City at the age of forty-
eight in 1910. O. Henry’s stories have been translated all over the world.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Leonardo Da Vinci is among the most influential artists in history, having left a significant
legacy not only in the realm of art but in science as well, each discipline informing his mastery
of the other. He was born in a Tuscan hamlet near Vinci, Italy in 1452. Da Vinci contributed his

28
FRIENDS GLOBAL 11 REVISON UNITs 5&6

unique genius to virtually everything he touched, so it is not easy to put Da Vinci into a
category. He was a painter, sculptor, astronomer, inventor, mathematician, writer, and more.
No name better seems to symbolize Renaissance age than Leonardo da Vinci.

Da Vinci is perhaps most famous as a painter. He began a nine-year apprenticeship at


the age of 14 to Andrea del Verrocchio, a popular sculptor, painter and goldsmith who was an
important figure in the art world of the day. Leonardo da Vinci not only developed his skills in
drawing, painting and sculpting during his apprenticeship, but through others working in and
around the studio, he picked up knowledge in such diverse fields as mechanics, carpentry,
metallurgy, architectural drafting and chemistry. His drawings reflected da Vinci's interest in
how things are put together and how they work. Leonardo began creating his most well-known
and replicated work, Mona Lisa when he received a commission from Francesco del Giocondo
to paint his wife. The precise date of completion for "Mona Lisa", one of the most renowned
paintings in the world, is still in question, but many historians agree that Leonardo da Vinci
began the masterpiece in 1503.

As a scientist and inventor, Da Vinci designed and invented things that were not
possible to create during the time that he lived. He made plans for helicopters, tanks,
calculators, and 10 solar-powered machines. He kept extensive notebooks in which he wrote
in code. Historians have to hold the notebooks up to a mirror to be able to read them. Da Vinci
also made many discoveries, but he was not interested in becoming famous for them. He didn't
publish any of his ideas.

Just like William Shakespeare on literature, Leonardo's impact on art is tremendous.


Throughout his life, Leonardo da Vinci avoided the intrigues of worldly ambitions and vanity. He
was a reserved and withdrawn man, not concerned with glory, and yet absolutely sure of the
value of his abilities. Along with a small band of contemporary Renaissance figures, Leonardo
da Vinci becomes the center of a movement of artists that has permanently enriched western
culture.

44. What would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Many Talents of Leonardo Da Vinci
B. Leonardo Da Vinci as a Painter
C. The Scientific Discoveries of Leonardo Da Vinci
D. Leonardo Da Vinci's Personal Life

B. He was sociable and made the acquaintance with lots of scientists.
C. He published many of his findings.
D. He is most well-known as a painter.

Mickey Mouse, an animated cartoon character created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, is
considered the most popular and recognizable cartoon character in the world. Mickey made his
first public appearance in Steamboat Willie on November 18, 1928, which established his core
characteristics: cheerful in spirit, yet roughish in complexion. Mickey was often joined by his
girlfriend, Minnie Mouse, as well as an animated gang of friends that included Donald Duck,
Goofy, and Pluto. The earliest cartoons portrayed Mickey as a country boy living in the
Midwest.

Mickey is easily identified by his round ears, red shorts, white gloves, and yellow shoes.
Actually, throughout his existence, Mickey has undergone a few changes. In 1940, Mickey was
given pupils in his eyes. Later, he would lose his trademark red pants and start wearing
different clothes.

Originally, Walt Disney did Mickey Mouse's vocal expressions such as whistling,
laughing, or crying. Mickey did not actually speak until 1929 and interestingly enough, Mickey's
first words were "Hot dogs! Hot dogs!"

34
FRIENDS GLOBAL 11 REVISON UNITs 5&6

One of the reasons why Walt Disney was much more successful than other animators at
that time was because of his use of sound. He created a soundtrack to match the scenes in
the cartoons.

Mickey Mouse has appeared in over 130 films. “When people laugh at Mickey Mouse,
it's because he's so human; and that is the secret of his popularity, said Walt Disney.

In 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to receive a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame. Today, Mickey stands as the highest-grossing animated character of all time. As
its most famous character, Mickey Mouse serves as the mascot of the Walt Disney Company
and is well-known all over the world.

Mathematics is the branch of science, which deals with numbers, involves calculations
and mainly focuses on the study of quantity, shapes, measurements etc. It’s no surprise that

35
FRIENDS GLOBAL 11 REVISON UNITs 5&6

mathematics is often considered to be one of the most challenging subjects for students and
teaching maths is like teaching a system of procedures. Therefore, many people do not expect
to hear the words like ‘imaginative’ and ‘hilarious' used to describe a maths teacher, but Mr
Smith was just that. He taught maths as if he was telling a story and talked to us, his beloved
students, as if we were not different from him. In addition, he discussed the matter of outer
space and time travel with his students, not because these subjects were on the curriculum,
but because, I guess, he wanted to keep us interested & actively involved in his class. His
unusual way of teaching made us interested in maths and played an essential role in my
decision-making process.

After leaving high school, I myself went on to choose mathematics as my major at


university. I didn't give much thought to life after my studies until the day of my graduation. I
still had no idea of what I was going to do afterwards. Only then did it strike me that I needed
to make a clear decision. One of my friends asked me if I was going to become an accountant
or a finance analyst. I remember shaking my head but having nothing to say. Then, the next
day, a picture of Mr Smith's writing numbers on the blackboard flashed through my mind, along
with his stories of travelling faster than the speed of light. I suddenly felt certain that I wanted to
be the one standing next to that blackboard. A secret smile broke out on my lips; I had the
answer.

I decided to take a teacher training course, then finished it and found a job as a maths
teacher. I didn’t intend to copy Mr Smith's teaching style; but the first day I walked into a
classroom, I found myself writing numbers on the blackboard the same way as Mr. Smith,
telling my students the story of how I became a maths teacher and watching a smile appear on
t their faces.

44. What is the purpose of the passage?


A. To describe the writer’s favourite teacher
B. To explain how the writer ended up becoming a maths teacher
C. To encourage students to study maths
D. To show a different way of teaching maths
45. According to the passage, mathematics is
A. a modern science B. an accurate measurement
C. a tough subject D. a rough calculation

46. Why did the writer enjoy the maths lessons?


A. Because he was keen on outer space.
B. As he showed an interest in adding up numbers.
C. Because of his teacher’s unique teaching method.
D. Since he was actively involved in the lessons.
47. It can be inferred from the passage that Mr. Smith
A. was popular with his students B. had travelled to space
C. used numbers as the basis for discussion D. threw the subject open for discussion
48. What happened on the day of the writer’s graduation?
A. He decided to make a plan for the future.
B. He realised that it was time for him to make up his mind about his future career.
C. He had a date with his friend.
D. He took a picture of Mr. Smith’s writing numbers on the blackboard.

A. He felt confused about his decision.
B. He was so afraid that he had nothing to say.
C. He was happy and smiled to himself.

50. Which of the following statements would the writer most likely to agree with?
A. It’s not easy to become a maths teacher.
B. As long as you learn maths, you will be interested in the subject
C. With the right attitude, a vivid imagination and good sense of humor, teachers can
make their lessons interesting
D. No matter how difficult mathematics is, I always try my best to achieve high scores.

Helen Keller is an American author and educator who was blind and deaf. Her education and training
represent an extraordinary accomplishment in the education of persons with these disabilities. Keller
was afflicted at the age of 19 months with an illness that left her blind and deaf. Helen was an unhappy
child and often threw a tantrum. However, her mother took great care of her with patience and love. She
used to hang out with the daughter of the family cook using the sign language of their own. Afterwards,
Helen was examined by Alexander Graham Bell at the age of 6. As a result, he sent to her a 20-year-old
teacher, Anne Sullivan from the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston, which Bell’s son-in-law
directed. Sullivan, a remarkable teacher, remained with Keller from March 1887 until her own death in
October 1936.

Within months Keller had learned to feel objects and associate them with words spelled out by finger
signals on her palm, to read sentences by feeling raised words on cardboard, and to make her own
sentences by arraging words in a frame. Later, she also learned to lip-read by placing her fingers on the
lips and throat of the speaker while the words were simultaneously spelled out for her. At age 14, she
enrolled in the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf in New York City, and at 16 she entered the
Cambridge School for Young Ladies in Massachusetts.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.

In this day and age, it's inevitable that your kid will need a cell phone at some point. Buying a
phone for your kid is a big decision. Not only is it a financial investment, but you also need to consider
Internet safety and how kids can use electronics in a healthy way. ‘Today's parents are both blessed
and cursed by technology options made available to their children,’ says Titania Jordan, the chief
parenting officer of parental-control app Bark. ‘While the ability to locate and communicate with your
children in real-time is incredible, the ability of others to do so can be frightening and dangerous.’

When considering which cell phone to buy for your child, consider their age, the intended users
of the phone, and the parental control options. If your teen just started driving, a smartphone with a built
in GPS and full calling abilities in case of emergency may be a good bet. For a younger kid, a simple
phone with no internet access that lets them text their parents may be all they need. You may even
decide they don't need a phone quite yet but can instead use a smart watch to text you and make short
phone calls with approved contacts. To find the best cell phones for kids, we surveyed nearly 500
parents to learn about the phones they have bought for their own kids, as well as how their families
navigate technology use. We also spoke to the Internet safety experts that specialize in kids’ safe use
of phones. Additionally, we reviewed guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
regarding when to give your child a cell phone.

44. What should parents consider when buying a smartphone for their kids?
A. its material B. the child’s age C. its contact list D. its GPS

45. What does Titania Jordan suggest?


A. Technology is just another burden for parents.
B. Parents should spend more time communicating to their children.
C. Parents should beware of strangers using technology to locate their children.
D. Children should only be allowed to use phone to text their parents.

46. Which can be inferred from the passage?


A. What children need is a smart wearable gadgets, not phones.
B. The younger the kids are, the cheaper phone they should have.
C. Teenagers who are getting used to learning should own a phone with good GPS feature.
D. It is the price of the phone that parents should taken into account when buying a phone.

industry and in
chemical and industrial equipment industries. One of the most common uses of robots is still in
automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous work. These kinds of
industrial
robots are not usually mobile. The work they need to do is brought to them, like cars on an
assembly
