listen to music, and at the weekends I like going swimming or horse-riding. At the moment

C. READING
Read the passage, then answer the questions below (2.5pts)
Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn't cause pollution or
waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from the Sun.
At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal and gas, oid or nuclear power.
This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the
Earth is enough to provide power for the total population.
Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roofs of a house
and the Sun's energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so
on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar
energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.
Questions:
1. Is solar energy an efficient source of power?
2. Where are the solar panels placed?
3. How long can the solar energy be stored?
4. When will cars use solar power instead of gas in Sweden?
5. Is the solar energy used in Vietnam now?

In Viet Nam, the Mid-Fall festival is also called the Children’s festival because it includes
special activities for them. It is held every year on the 15th of the 8th lunar month when the
moon is the brightest and roundest.
About one month before the festival, a lot of stalls are built along the streets selling moon
cakes and displaying a variety of lanterns in different sizes and shapes. Lanterns are made of
red cellophane-transparent papers and bamboo sticks or of plastic and thin steel wire. Most of
them are traditionally lit up with candles though some have battery-operated lamps.
There are a lot of interesting activities in the Mid-Fall festival such as the children’s lantern
procession and the Unicorn dance performance. Unicorn is an imaginary animal which looks
like a lion. These activities are usually performed in the evening.
Children and their parents assemble in the garden, in the backyard, on the terrace of their
house, or even on the pavement where they can have a good view of the moon and enjoy the
performances. They also celebrate the festival with moon cakes while watching the full moon
rising. The festival ends up around midnight when the moon is at its highest position in the
sky.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in
teaching and learning. Many schools have bought television sets, intending to use them
effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually, they are rarely used properly in
classrooms. Meanwhile, children spend the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV
and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers.
Firstly, the schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment
repairs and maintenance, so these television sets are sooner and later out of order. Secondly
these schools have not found an effective way to train teachers to integrate television into
their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of
television and its usefulness in the classroom. Teachers at the schools work hard for at least
twelve years to train their students to become good readers. However, according to recent
statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time reading books and newspapers but watching
television instead.

A. has not attracted students’ interest B. has been used effectively in classrooms
C. has not existed in classrooms D. has not been used properly in classrooms

COMETS
Andy heard from his friends that a comet was coming. He knew that a comet was a space
rock. Space rocks seemed exciting. He wanted to watch it at night. All he had to do was go
outside and watch. That was easy enough.
That night, he put on a jacket and went outside. He looked around. He saw the moon, but he
did not see anything else. There were only a couple clouds, so that was not the problem. He
could see some stars, but nothing new or special. Where was the comet?
He called his friend on the phone. They talked about it. His friend told him where to look, but
he still didn’t see it. What was going on? Was he not special enough to see it? Were his eyes
going bad? What was he doing wrong?
Andy went to get his dad. Together, they looked up in the sky where it was supposed to be.
Finally, after several minutes of looking, he saw a fuzzy thing, brighter and bigger than a star,
but nowhere near what he expected.
“I thought it’d be like an extra moon or something.” Andy complained.
“It’s not big enough for that, and it still might be very far away.” Dad explained.
“I still wish I could see it better.”
Dad nodded and went inside. When he came back out, he had a telescope. Together, they
focused in and saw the comet a little better. It wasn’t much, but it helped.
“What else can we see?” Andy wondered.
Dad smiled and aimed the telescope over at the moon instead. That was cool. Seeing the
craters and the details of the moon up closer was nice.
Astronomy was interesting. Andy made sure to read more about it at school!
26. What was Andy excited to see in the sky?
A. rainbows B. clouds C. the moon D. a comet
27. What problem did Andy have when he tries to look at the comet?
A. There were too many and he couldn’t find the right one. B. He couldn’t see it.
C. It was too bright to see anything. D. The sky was very cloudy.

C. Got a telescope D. Checked the Internet
29. When he still couldn’t find the comet, what did Andy do next?

VII. Read what Mark says about his food memories. Decide if the statements are true
(T) or false (F).
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?
I loved lasagne. It all began when I was three years old. I flew to Australia with my parents on
Singapore Airlines. On the plane they served special food for children, and one of the dishes
was lasagne. I fell in love with that dish immediately and ate a big portion. Since then,
whenever we eat out in an Italian restaurant, I’ve chosen lasagne.
DID YOU HATE ANY FOOD WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?
Sure, I really hated fish. My mother loved it, so we had it almost every day. Although she
cooked different dishes such as steamed fish, fried fish, or fish soup, I still didn’t like the
taste, the smell, or anything about it. The strange thing is that I liked fish nuggets at Kuick,
and I had them sometimes on Sundays.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER: HAVING MEALS AT HOME OR EATING OUT?
My job involves travelling a lot, so I treasure any meal with my parents at home. It’s our
happiest time when we can gather together and share a lot of things. I love eating at home also
because my mother is a great cook who can create unusual dishes with everyday ingredients.

Do you ever think about what schools will be like in the future? Many people think that

students have problem with a subject? They might connect with a teacher through live
videoconferencing. Expert teachers from learning centres will give students help wherever

skills. Teachers will guide students in learning how to work together in getting along with
each other. They will help students with group projects both in and out of the classroom.
Volunteer work and working at local businesses will teach students important life skills about
the world they live in. This will help students become an important part of their communities.

VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
We will probably never know who first sold a beef inside a bun, but there are lots of
contenders for having invented something similar. Genghis Khan and his army of Mongol
horsemen used to snack on raw beef which they kept underneath their saddles. They also
ground meat from lamb or mutton. This was fast food for busy warriors on horseback at that
time. When the Mongols invaded Russia, the snack became known as “Steak Tartare”. In the
17th and 18th centuries trade between Germany and Russia gave rise to the “Tartare steak”,
while the “Hamburg steak” became popular with German sailors along the New York City
harbor.
It’s speculated that the first “Hamburger steak” was served at Delmonico’s Restaurant in New
York City in 1834, but not in a bun. In 1885 Charlie “Hamburger” Nagreen served flattened
meatballs between two slices of bread. As late as 1904 Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas,
attracted much attention when he sold his hamburgers at the St. Louis World’s Fair. Davis’s
claim to having originated the hamburger has been supported by both McDonalds and Dairy
Queen.
Brothers Frank and Charles Menches may also have made a major contribution to hamburger
history: they sold ground pork sandwiches at the Erie Country Fair in New York, but one day
in 1885, they were forced to use chopped beef because their butcher had run out of pork. They
mixed in some coffee and brown sugar to beef up the taste and sold their “Hamburger
Sandwiches”. The name “Hamburger” came from Hamburg, New York, the location of the
fair.
26. What was the Menches’ contribution to hamburger history?
A. They began to use chopped pork. B. They changed the taste of pork.
C. They began to ground pork for sandwiches. D. They used another meat and added
flavors.
27. Which of the following is NOT stated about the Mongols in paragraph 2?
A. They kept lambs and mutton nearby. B. They used to eat non-cooked meat.
C. They occupied the Russian territories. D. They used to eat while riding a horse.
28. Where did “hamburger” get its name from?
A. A place B. The Germans C. A man D. A fair
29. Which of the following is stated in the passage?
A. Hamburger was first served in Germany.
B. Sailors brought hamburger steak to New York.
C. Tartare stake became popular in the 17th century.
D. Minced beef appeared in the 15th century.

I loved lasagne. It all began when I was three years old. I flew to Australia with my parents on
Singapore Airlines. On the plane they served special food for children, and one of the dishes
was lasagne. I fell in love with that dish immediately and ate a big portion. Since then,
whenever we eat out in an Italian restaurant, I’ve chosen lasagne.
DID YOU HATE ANY FOOD WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?
Sure, I really hated fish. My mother loved it, so we had it almost every day. Although she
cooked different dishes such as steamed fish, fried fish, or fish soup, I still didn’t like the
taste, the smell, or anything about it. The strange thing is that I liked fish nuggets at Kuick,
and I had them sometimes on Sundays.
WHICH DO YOU PREFER: HAVING MEALS AT HOME OR EATING OUT?
My job involves travelling a lot, so I treasure any meal with my parents at home. It’s our
happiest time when we can gather together and share a lot of things. I love eating at home also
because my mother is a great cook who can create unusual dishes with everyday ingredients.

VII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
We will probably never know who first sold a beef inside a bun, but there are lots of
contenders for having invented something similar. Genghis Khan and his army of Mongol
horsemen used to snack on raw beef which they kept underneath their saddles. They also
ground meat from lamb or mutton. This was fast food for busy warriors on horseback at that
time. When the Mongols invaded Russia, the snack became known as “Steak Tartare”. In the
17th and 18th centuries trade between Germany and Russia gave rise to the “Tartare steak”,
while the “Hamburg steak” became popular with German sailors along the New York City
harbor.
It’s speculated that the first “Hamburger steak” was served at Delmonico’s Restaurant in New
York City in 1834, but not in a bun. In 1885 Charlie “Hamburger” Nagreen served flattened
meatballs between two slices of bread. As late as 1904 Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas,
attracted much attention when he sold his hamburgers at the St. Louis World’s Fair. Davis’s
claim to having originated the hamburger has been supported by both McDonalds and Dairy
Queen.
Brothers Frank and Charles Menches may also have made a major contribution to hamburger
history: they sold ground pork sandwiches at the Erie Country Fair in New York, but one day
in 1885, they were forced to use chopped beef because their butcher had run out of pork. They
mixed in some coffee and brown sugar to beef up the taste and sold their “Hamburger
Sandwiches”. The name “Hamburger” came from Hamburg, New York, the location of the
fair.
26. What was the Menches’ contribution to hamburger history?
A. They began to use chopped pork. B. They changed the taste of pork.
C. They began to ground pork for sandwiches. D. They used another meat and added
flavors.
27. Which of the following is NOT stated about the Mongols in paragraph 2?
A. They kept lambs and mutton nearby. B. They used to eat non-cooked meat.
C. They occupied the Russian territories. D. They used to eat while riding a horse.
28. Where did “hamburger” get its name from?
A. A place B. The Germans C. A man D. A fair
29. Which of the following is stated in the passage?
A. Hamburger was first served in Germany.
B. Sailors brought hamburger steak to New York.
C. Tartare stake became popular in the 17th century.
D. Minced beef appeared in the 15th century.
30. Who was “hamburger steak” invented by, according to paragraph 3?
A. Fletcher Davis B. Delmonico C. Charlie “Hamburger” Nagreen D.
McDonalds
