Read the following passage and choose the option (A, B, C or B) that
best answers each of the questions below.
One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is
losing face- to-face contact with other people. Teens are sitting
around with their phone in their hands all day long, tapping
messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people.
Many teenagers feel more comfortable with virtual friends than with
real ones. The majority think that it is easier to chat on the Internet
because they lack communication skills.
It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what
their kids do with their phones or computer. Crosby says that,
"While kids are plugged in to social media, only about 40% of
parents are involved themselves." And because parents don't know
the full picture, they also don't know how to deal with a teenager's
potential overuse of social media and might not even be aware that a
problem exists. Therefore, social networking can be much more
immediately engaging with the teenager's life than parents are, and
this fact makes virtual communication feels more "real" than face-to-
face communication.

City life has its advantages and disadvantages and so does
country life; however, there seems to be an increased interest in the
country, especially among young families. If you are thinking about
moving to the country as well but are not sure if it is a good idea, it
may help to look at the benefits of country life. In the country, you
are woken up by the singing of the birds rather by the noise from
the traffic. Homes in the countryside are surrounded by nature
which has a shooting effect on both the mind and the body. Due to
virtual absence of cars and factories, you will not be breathing any
potentialliy toxic fumes in the country. Clean air is one of the main
advantages of country life over city dwelling. In the country,
everyone knows everyone and people actually say ‘hello’.
Communities in the country are much smaller but they are more
connected and open. People in the country are really friendlier and
are prepared to help without asking anything in return.

of local tribal heads. Many ethnic groups divided their population
into social echelons, especially those who lived in mountainous
areas.
A number of ethnic minorities had mastered some fanning

IV. READING
Read the passage and then decide whether the sentences are True

The meaning of a kiss depends on where you are. A kiss means “I
love you” in many countries. In some countries, a kiss can be
friendly greeting, or a goodbye. South Americans and Europeans say
hello with kisses much more often than North Americans. They also
sometimes say goodbye by kissing their own fingertips and then
“blowing” the kiss away. In these regions, men at business

meeting even greet each other with a kiss on the cheek, instead
of a handshake.
Then there are beliefs that kissing has a special meaning. In
ancient Rome, the groom at a wedding must kiss the bride as a legal
agreement. And did your mother ever kiss your hurt finger to make
the pain stop? English used to think that kisses have magical
powers.
Not everyone in the world kisses though. Eskimos couples rubbed
their noses together, and so did some African tribes and Pacific
Islanders. The Ainu of Japan preferred to bite their loved one’s
cheek.
These days, kissing is mostly a sign of romance. Thanks to
international travel and sharing customs, that meaning has become
universal.

best answers each of the questions below.
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW

Although there various wedding styles in America, most

weddings still follow certain traditions. One of those is an old
saying that dates back to 19th century England about what a
bride should wear or carry: “Something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue.”
A bride wears something old to remind her of her family and
the past. Some brides wear their mother’s wedding dress or a
piece of her jewelry. Something new means good luck and hope
for a happy future with her new husband. Again, this item may
be the dress, but often it is a pair of new shoes. Something
borrowed such as a friend’s handkerchief a married friend’s
bridal veil means the bride has friends and family who are willing
to help her. Something blue is a symbol of trust and faith
between the couple. These days, some brides are creative with
this item by painting their fingernails a light blue color or
wearing a garter on the their leg. Another tradition says that the
groom should take the garter after the ceremony and throw it to
the single men. The man who catches it will be the next one to
get married.

promise to see each other again on the following morning. Many of them
become husbands and wives in the spring. That is why the poets in Lao Cai
called the market Sa Pa’s Love Market.
Since Saturday afternoon, many girls show up in colorful costumes. The

begin? No one knows for sure, but there are several legends that
have been passed from generation to generation. The most
popular one is about a Catholic saint who lived in the third
century.
St. Valentine was a priest in Rome. The Roman Emperor of that
time, Claudius II, believed that unmarried men were better
soldiers than those with wives. He made marriage illegal for young
men. Valentine strongly opposed this decision, so he continued to
perform weddings for young couples in secret. After a while,
Emperor Claudius learned of Valentine’s actions and sent him to
prison. According to the story, the priest then fell in love with a
girl who visited him there!
In the end, Valentine was put to death on February 14th. Before
he died, he had written a letter to the girl he loved and signed it,
“From your Valentine.”

EXCALIBUR
A long time ago, so the story goes, a young boy called Arthur
became the King of England after he pulled a sword out of a stone.
The sword was Excalibur. It had a lot of power. The Lady of the
Lake gave it to King Uther but asked him to give her his firstborn
child. Uther became powerful. When his first child was born, Merlin,
the magician came to take the baby. Uther tried to stop him, but
thieves attacked him. Before he died, he put Excalibur into a stone
and asked Merlin to make his son a king. Merlin promised that only
someone with a pure heart could pull it out and become the next
King of England.
When Arthur pulled the sword out, people were surprised. Merlin
explained that Arthur as Uther’s

son and the people were happy.
