IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet

It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value
the love and worth of a friend when he has been taken from US by death more than when he
was with US in the flesh; it is only when we have left school or college that we understand
the greatness of our opportunity of education, which has gone forever; and it is the sick and
the ailing who realize the value of good health, when we are young and strong, we cannot
imagine what it is to be weak and ailing. We are so used to vigorous health that we take it
for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we scarcely know we have lungs
and liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives US pain and
sickness, we learn by bitter experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes US miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples
our efforts so that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have
done. It spoils our life. What must we do to keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome
simple food. Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must,
when young, get plenty of sleep, which is "nature's sweet restorer", and not try to burn the
candle at both ends. We must live as much as possible in the open air and keep our rooms
well ventilated. We must get sufficient and regular physical exercise, and keep our bodies
clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and keep our
thoughts clean and our bodies pure. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the sound body.

Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has
served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel
to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world's population lives within
80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind
survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be
hoped to supply many man's needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by
man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30
years. Valuable amounts of minerals existing on the ocean floor are ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture
of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the
warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship.
Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development
of strong, new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues
to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent US from
exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy source of the sea will be largely solved.

For many years, people believed that the cleverest animals after man were chimpanzees.
Now, however, there is proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.
Although dolphins live in the sea, they are not fish. They are mammals. They are in many
ways, therefore, like human beings.
Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible
for man to learn how to talk to dolphins, but this will not be easy because dolphins cannot
hear the kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will
have to make a third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.
Dolphins are also friendly towards man. They often follow ships. There are many stories
of dolphins guiding ships through difficult and dangerous waters.

IX. 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.
Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise.
It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and
stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because
you're not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it's a good form of exercise for
people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it's important to start
slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren't
used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to
your doctor and ask his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be
doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don't worry that if you begin to lose
your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This
is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect.
However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

28. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling________.


A. once a week
B. at least two or three times a month
C. at least twice or three times a week
D. every day
29. People with back problems might go cycling because________.
A. it helps them to relieve their backache
B. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet
C. it helps to make their backs become stronger
D. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet
30. All forms of exercise must be started________.
A. quickly B. gradually
C. strenuously D. violently
31. Which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of cycling?
A. Giving you a stronger heart B. Increasing you strength and energy
C. Making you look younger D. Giving you better muscles
32. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because________.

B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest
C. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart
D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem

Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had to
recover from the ravages of war. Substantial progress was achieved froml986 to 1997 in
moving forward from an extremely low level of development and significantly reducing
poverty. Since 2001, Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic
liberalization and international integration. They have moved to implement the structural
reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more competitive, export-driven
industries..
Vietnam's membership in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and entry into force of
the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001 have led to even more rapid
changes in Vietnam's trade and economic regime. Vietnam's exports to the US doubled in
2002 and again in 2003.
Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following over a
decade long negotiation process. This should provide an important boost to the economy
and should help to ensure the continuation of liberalizing reforms.
Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labor force that is growing
by more than one million people every year. Vietnamese authorities have tightened
monetary and fiscal policies to stem high inflation. Hanoi is targeting an economic growth
rate of 7.5-8% during the next five years.

A. decreasing B facing crisis

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made US of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of
oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication accomplished through sign
language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the
mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words
are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A
nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of
nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the
fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also
guide, warn, and instruct people.
While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques
also express human thoughts and feelings.

WORLD BBQ
To some people, there is nothing more appetizing than the smell of meat sizzling over an
open fire. Throughout the world, people love to eat barbecue because it lets them together
with friends and family to enjoy a meat that brings them back to their caveman roots.
Cooking over coals or an open flame makes people feel more sociable.
Most countries have barbecue traditions, and they usually take place on national holidays.
In the United States, it is a tradition to have a barbecue of hamburgers and hot dogs on July
4, which is Independence Day. In Taiwan, people get together to eat barbecue during the
Moon Festival, and the smell of burning coal is in the air all day.
In South America, and in Argentina in particular, barbecue is a way of life. All sorts of
meats and sausages are put on a large grill together over hot coals. Barbecue is even
considered the national dish in Argentina, and it is given the name asado in Portuguese.
This means not only the dish, but also the social event that surrounds an Argentina
barbecue.
When a person speaks about Turkish and Middle Eastern barbecue, the kebab
immediately comes to mind. The tradition of taking different meats, and sometimes
vegetables as well, and spearing them with a sharp stick called a skewer has crossed cultural
lines today. Practically, anywhere in the English-speaking world, the thought of shish-kebab
will make barbecue lovers' mouths water.

Do you ever give excuses that are not really true? when and why? It seems that
everybody tells lies - well, not big lies, but what we call "white lies". The only real
questions are about we lie and who we tell lies to. A recent study found that in conversation
people frequently stretch the truth. Here are some ways they do it.
People often lie because want to hide something from someone. For example, a son
doesn't tell his parents that he is dating a girl because he doesn't think they will like her.
Instead, he says he is going out with the guys. Sometimes people lie because they don't want
to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring so
you say that are busy you can't come.
Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks
dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say "Hmm, this is
delicious!" Other times we don't want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just
had a bad day at work, but you don't want to talk about it. So, if someone asks about your
day, you just say everything was fine. Telling "white lies" isn't really bad. Most of the time
people do it because they want to protect a friendship.

28. Why do people often tell lies?


A. Because they like it
C. Because they don't like the person who asks them about their stories.
B. Because they feel amused
D. Because they want to hide something
29. Sometimes people lie by .

A. you want him/her to cook for you more
B. you like telling lies
C. you want encourage him

Colors are one of the most exciting experiences in life. I love them, and they are just as
important to me as emotions are. Have you ever wondered how the two are so intimately
related?
Color directly affects your emotions. Color both reflects the current state of your
emotions, and is something that you can use to improve or change your emotions. The color
that you choose to wear either reflects your current state of being, or reflects the color or
emotion that you need.
The colors that you wear affect you much more than they affect the people around you.
Of course they also affect anyone who comes in contact with you, but you are the one
saturated with the color all day! I even choose items around me based on their color. In the
morning, I choose my clothes based on the color or emotion that I need for the day. So you
can consciously use color to control the emotions that you are exposed to, which can help
you to feel better.
Color, sound, and emotions are all vibrations. Emotions are literally energy in motion;
they are meant to move and flow. This is the reason that real feelings are the fastest way to
get your energy in motion. Also, flowing energy is exactly what creates healthy cells in your
body. So, the fastest way to be open to your real feelings. Alternately, the fastest way to
create disease is to inhibit your emotions.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
All over the world, all different cultures created interesting processed meat products, and
one of the most popular is undoubtedly sausage.
To begin with, sausage making may be considered disgusting as it deals with using
various animal parts. Since meat is ground up, certain cuts and parts of an animal that
wouldn't be served in their original forms can be used. Literally, this means animal parts
such as noses, ears, and other less appetizing areas of an animal's body. Very often, the
ground up meat and flesh is mixed with a certain percentage of fat, along with spices and
other fillers. After being mixed well, this meat mixture is then stuffed into the cleaned
intestines of the animal, which are then sealed at both ends. The result is sausage.
The meats used in sausages come from a variety of animals, although beef and pork are
by far the favourites. In some cultures, sausage made from the meat of horses is considered
a delicacy. When sausages are cooked, the cooking process sometimes adds to the flavour.
While boiling is probably the simplest method, smoking sausages will add a lot of smoky
flavour.
Next time you bite into a sausage, it is probably best not to think too much about how it
became the tasty thing you are eating. After all, you don't want to ruin a good snack.

28. What are by far the favourite meats for making sausages?
A. Chicken B. Horse meat C. Cuts of lamb D. Beef and pork
29. What is the simplest method of cooking sausages?
A. Grilling B. Smoking C. Boiling D. Baking
30. What won't be served in their original forms?
A. Certain cuts and parts of animals B. Spices and fillers
C. Sausages of all types D. Intestines of an animal
31. What advice is given in the passage?
A. Be careful when making sausages.
B. Don't think too much about what you are eating when eating sausages,
C. Try not to use too much fat in the meat mixture when making sausages.
D. Make sure intestines are cleaned before packing with meat.
32. Where is the mixture of meat placed?
A. Inside a plastic package B. Inside a cleaned intestine
C. Inside a refrigerator D. Inside a metal container

Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon
meeting as gesture of good will. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had
more practical purposes.
Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a
stranger, he would often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he
had to use the weapon to defend himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling
around each other, weapons in hand, until it was mutually agreed that the weapons could be
laid aside. Then the two parties extended their right hands to show they had no weapons,
and clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake.
The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the orient, people have for
centuries, clasped their own in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no
weapons. In France, a custom developed in which people who met would kiss each other on
both cheeks. The natives of some South Seas islands greet by rubbing noses.

years later a wealthy businessman bought the stones and re-erected them at his house in
Hertfordshire.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high- quality
protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart
diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily
cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in
turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One
alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs substitutes are not really eggs, but they look
somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low
cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One disadvantage,
however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to
regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are
produced by hens that are fed low- flat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil,
flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the
same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that
eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific
studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and
human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type of eggs
that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some
people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact,
there is evidence that certainly dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood
cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even
designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help
reduce the blood cholesterol level.

28. What is the main purpose of the passage?


A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To make people how about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol,
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
D. To convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes.
29. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. Increasing price B. Decreased production
C. Dietary changes in hens D. Concerns about cholesterol
30. What is meant by the phrase "mixed results"?
A. The results are blended
B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive.
D. The results are mingled together.
31. Which of the following could best replace the word "somewhat"?
A. in fact B. a little
C. indefinitely D. a lot
32. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the
suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3

A recent investigation by scientist at the Geological Survey shows that strange animals
behavior might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a
ten kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew
about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably. Scientists believe that animals can
perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap because
they have certain instincts that humans don't possess.
In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating
quake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to
evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the earth toll at a lower level

Education System of Vietnam in the past
Because of 1,000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated
a formal education system in Vietnam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese
invaders and declared Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh,
did not last so long, and were busy with the national defense, so the education was just in
pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, thefounder kingof the Ly dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly
Thanh Tong established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to
encourage people to appreciate the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order
of King Ly Nhan Tong to select scholars for the office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial
Academy, the first university in Vietnam's history, was set up for the education of sons of
royalty and other high-ranking officials.
There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An,
Le Quy Don, Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan... The students
would only study literature and ancient history of China, and Vietnam for entirety of their
schooling. Later on, the Public Administration curriculum was finally added to the
programme. When the Ho Royal family ruled the country, students were taught simple
mathematics.
From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam's education programme adopted the western education
system with three levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the
Vietnamese national language is officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn
literature, history, philosophy, law, science, math, medicine and other languages.

Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer
games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has
been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.
The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young
people of his age is finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding
home computer market each month. But David's biggest headache is what to do with his
money.
Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus
payments and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit
cards.
He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus
driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work
and back every day because David cannot drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after
leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job
because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs," he said.
"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistiC. I hope it will come to
more than that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives
his mother £20 a week. But most his spare time is spent working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been
studying it in books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted
to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly
young, anyway."
David added: "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a
possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."
28. Why is David different from other young people at his age?
A. He earns an extremely high salary.
B. He is not unemployed.
C. He does not go out much.
D. He lives at home with his parents.
29. David's greatest problem is____________________
A. Making the banks treat him as an adult.
B. inventing computer games.
C. spending his salary.
D. learning to drive.
30. He was employed by the company because__________
A. he had worked in a computer shop.
B. he had written some computer programs.
C. he works very hard.
D. he had learnt to use computers at school.
31. He left school after taking O-levels because__________
A. he did not enjoy school.
B. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him.
C. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing.
D. he wanted to earn a lot of money.
32. Why does David think he might retire early?
A. You have to be young to write computer programs.
B. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.
C. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.
D. He thinks his firm might go bankrupt.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales.
Unusually, it gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as
the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and
come from all over the word, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and
do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning
difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many
different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two
years, grants are available. A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only
attend because they receive government help.
"I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among
young people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. "You learn to
live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays
my mother couldn't believe how much less I argued with my sister."
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods
which really seem to work.

You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand
the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be
afraid to ask questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the
teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you
can also ask how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete so you
can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools
have libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework
done. The more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to dothat night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how
much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most
middle students should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy
homework day, you will need to devote more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first
place to turn for help is your teacher. But what if you don't feel comfortable with your
teacher? If you are in a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same
subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to
have someone explain something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to
get some help from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good student,
think about asking that person if you can study together.
28. The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment may
be__________.
A. to know when you hand it in
B. to understand it and its requirements
C. to know how long it takes to complete it
D. to remember it in order to plan the time
29. If you have any free time left at school, you should__________.
A. use it to do your homework in the library
B. spend time with your friends
C. use it to understand the assignment
D. use it to make your day planner
30. When students need some help, they should__________.
A. never ask other teachers for help
B. always turn to their own teachers for help
C. ask any good students at the subject in your school
D. go to their teachers or other teachers teaching the same subject

From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes in the majority of
countries around the world. Substantial differences are evident between the way we live
today, and the way we lived a century ago. Vietnam is no exception although there are some
aspects of life in Vietnam that are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Vietnam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the
past mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there are significantly fewer people
working in this sector of the economy. These days, by comparison, people are more likely to
be employed in manufacturing and tourism than in the rice fields. Moreover, Vietnam,
which was traditionally agricultural, is transforming into an entirely different country.
While agriculture is still an important component of the Vietnamese economy, other
enterprises are accounting for an increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept
many of characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as
they were in the past. This is best illustrated in the way they welcome foreigners. Moreover,
the determination of the people of Vietnam has not changed. The Vietnamese work
collectively and happily towards the development of their country.
To conclude, while there are differences in past and present lifestyles, there are important
similarities. Although Vietnam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and
always will be, the friendly welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.

A. manufacturing and tourism B. agricultural section
C. foreign enterprises D. the rice fields

A. in the 21st century B. for one hundred years
