VII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the assignment.
Write it down in yournotebook 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 do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left
and what else 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 if you don't feel comfortable with
yourteacher? 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, youmight 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.

On September 2, 1945, Viet Nam gained independence from France. President Ho Chi Minh decided that
the three key priorities of the new, independent government would be: fighting against poverty, illiteracy, and
invaders. His new driving philosophy for education was “an illiterate nation is a powerless one”, and in October
1945 he issued a “Call for anti-illiteracy”. The President’s call was a success. Within one year, 75 thousand
literacy classes were established with about 96 thousand teachers to help 2.5 million people learn to read and
write.
During the years of French resistance (1946 -1954), schools operated in demilitarized areas. They stopped
teaching in French and created curriculum in Vietnamese. The government passed an education reform in 1950
with the goal of reducing the years of general education and concentrating on reading, writing, and calculating
skills.

Viet Nam's Past Education System
In comparison with other developing countries, Viet Nam’s population enjoys a relatively high standard of
education. In the past, Viet Nam’s educational system was affected by many cultures, of which the Chinese and
French had most significant influence.
The Imperial Academy - the first university in Viet Nam - was built in 1076 under Emperor Ly Nhan Tong
for the education of sons of royalty and other high-ranking officials. In 1252, the college was opened to students
from various backgrounds besides royal or official ones.
Before the French came, the old-type Mandarin system administered Viet Nam for approximately 2,000
years. As the French took over the government’s administration, it was converted from a Confucian system into
a Western-oriented one.
In order to participate in the civil service under the French rule, the Vietnamese had to convert to the French
system and were required to know the French language. In addition, they had to have a good facility with the
new version of their language instead of the traditional Chinese characters which had been in use for hundreds
of years.
At the beginning of 1900, the whole system was revised. An educational system of three levels was
established: elementary, primary, and secondary education. In addition, the use of the national language (Quoc
Ngu) was added to the curriculum. Emphasis was placed on rote learning, class discipline and other French
educational methods. Several new schools and colleges were established. Accordingly, French became the
second language of much importance to the students.

II. Read the text, and identify whether the statements are true (T), or false (F).
Vietnamese food culture varies by regions from the north to the south. In Northern VietNam, Vietnamese
food is characterized by light and balanced flavours with the combination of many ingredients. Northerners
have been using many kinds of meats like pork, beef, and chicken to cook; besides, some kinds of freshwater
fish, crustaceans, and other mollusks like shrimps, crabs, and oysters, etc. Many famous dishes of Viet Nam are
cooked with these ingredients such as Bun Rieu, Pho, Bun Rieu, Bun Thang, Bun Cha, Banh Cuon, etc.
Then, food culture in Central and Southern Viet Nam has developed suitable flavors in each region. In
Central Viet Nam, the regional cuisine of Central Viet Nam is famous for its spicy food, which differs from two
other parts with mostly non-spicy food. Hue cuisine is typical Central Viet Nam’s food culture. Dishes of Hue
cuisine are decorative and colorful, which expresses the influence of the Vietnamese royal cuisine in the feudal
period. Food in the region is often decorated sophisticatedly and used with chili peppers and shrimp sauces,
namely, Bun Bo Hue, Banh xeo, or Banh beo, etc.
In Southern Viet Nam, the region is characterized by warm weather and fertile soil, which creates favorable
conditions for planting a variety of fruit, vegetables and livestock. Thus, food in the region is often added with
garlic, shallots and fresh herbs. Particularly, Southerners are favored of sugar; they add sugar in most dishes.
Here, there is also an influence of western and Asian cuisines on southern food, such as influences from China,
India, France, and Thailand.

From bush food to barbecues
Australia is a huge country and it has a lot of different kinds of food. In the past, the Aboriginal people of
Australia ate animals like crocodiles and some insects like the witchetty grub. Aboriginal Australians travelled
around the Australian countryside, or ‘bush’, to find food.
When the first British and Irish people moved to Australia in the 1830s, they

Irish recipes. Many of these recipes, like fish and chips and meat pies, are still
popular today. They also created new Australian recipes such as the pavlova (a
fruit dessert - named after a Russian dancer) and damper (a bread cooked in the
bush).
After 1945, a lot of people came to live in Australia fromcountries like Italy,
Germany, Greece, Thailand and India. They brought recipes with them and
Australians began to eat and drink different things. People started to drink espresso
coffee and eat Mediterranean and Asian food.
A lot of modern Australians love cooking with fresh food. They often cook food on barbecues in their

Healthy diets around the world
Harry Chen is a fitness expert. In his new book, he describes three healthy diets fromaround the world and
tells us what we can learn from them.
A. The Japanese diet
People in Japan are generally very healthy and one of the main reasons is fish. The Japanese diet includes a lot
of fish, which contains healthy oil. Another reason is that they also eat a lot of fruit and vegetables - for any
meal, including breakfast. People in Japan eat less than in other countries. This is because: firstly, people eat
small portions on separate small plates, not one big plate. Secondly, some people eat until they are about 80
percent full, then wait for ten minutes to see if they are still hungry. This is called hara hachi bu.
B. The Mediterranean diet
Health experts know that a lot of oil in your diet is unhealthy. The Mediterranean diet (for example, in Greece,
Italy and Spain) contains a lot of oil, but it is a very healthy diet. This is because they use olive oil, which is
Lưu Hoằng Trí Bài tập Tiếng Anh lớp 9 | 68
good for your heart. Another important factor is that they eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. Vegetables in these
countries are often main dishes, not just side dishes. Finally, people in this region eat with family and friends
and sometimes a meal lasts several hours. This means people relax and they don’t eat too much.
C. The South Indian diet
There are many different regions in India with different types of food. The South Indian diet is especially
healthy as it contains a lot of fruit and vegetables. There is a long tradition of vegetarian food in this region.
They eat some meat, but not much. In South India, they add a lot of herbs and spices, like cinnamon and
turmeric, to their cooking. The spices not only make the food delicious and attractive, but they are also good for
digestion. Health experts also know that some of these spices can fight diseases, such as heart disease and
cancer.

V. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
A World of Sausage
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.

Simple Ways to Lose Weight on a Budget
Plan to Cook at Home
Instead of buying costly prepared meals, which often tend to be high in calories, cook your own at home. Plan
out your meals with high-fiber foods like beans and whole grains which will keep you full and are a cheaper,
healthier alternative to rich proteins and more processed grains.
Eat Less
Eating less leads to weight loss, and cost savings, especially if you cut down on the right things. Start by cutting
your portions of pricy meat and poultry. Or swap out meat and poultry for cheaper vegetarian proteins like
beans, lentils, tofu and eggs for some of your meals.
Double Up on Vegetables
Vegetables are great for weight loss, as well as all-around health. They are low in calories and high in water and
fiber - two things that keep you feeling full. Save cash by shopping for those that are in season. Frozen
vegetables can be a great bargain, with just as much nutrition as fresh, since they are picked and frozen at their
peak ripeness.
Get Creative with Your Exercise Options
You don’t need to shell out a monthly gym fee to get moving. Instead, find fun activities you enjoy for free. If
you’re just getting started with a regular exercise routine, try your beginning with daily walks: start slowly and
build up time and speed.

C. READING
I. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.
Space Tourism means ordinary members of the public buying tickets to travel to space and back. Like any
other business, once space tourism gets started it will develop progressively. It may go through several phases.
Starting with a relatively small-scale and relatively high-priced "pioneering phase", the scale of activity will
grow and prices will fall as it develops. Finally, it will become a mass-market business, like aviation today.
During the pioneering phase, customers will be relatively few, from hundreds per year to thousands per
year; prices will be high, $50,000 and up; and the service will be nearer to "adventure travel" than to luxury
hotel-style.
The mature phase will see demand growing from thousands of passengers per year to hundreds of thousands
per year. Tickets to orbit will cost less and flights will depart from many different airports. Orbital facilities will
grow from being just clusters of modules to large structures constructed in orbit for hundreds of guests,
permitting a wide range of orbital entertainments.
During the mass phase, ticket prices will fall to the equivalent of a few thousand US dollars, and the number
of customers will be from hundreds of thousands to millions of passengers per year. And aviation is still
growing fast at today's level of 1 billion passengers per year. So there is no reason to suppose that space travel
will ever stop growing. There is certainly no limit to the possible destinations.
Task 1. Read the passage again, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

1. When space tourism develops, the ticket prices will drop.

First Vietnamese-American Astronaut
Born in Saigon and raised in Paris, Trinh Huu Chau (later Eugene H. Trinh) moved to France with his
family in 1952 when he was only two.
In his teenager years,Dr. Trinh attended Lycee Michelet in Paris. There, he focused on maths and science,
because like many teens at that time, he wanted to become a pilot. Dr. Trinh left Paris for New York to attend
Columbia University in 1968. Upon finishing his Bachelor of Science degree in 1972, he pursued his Master
degree in 1974, and Doctorate in 1977 from Yale University.
He spent 20 years at California Institute of Technology as a physicist carrying
out research primarily in the fields of Fluid Physics and Applied Acoustics. By 1999,
he worked as a Senior Executive, and focused on various science projects for NASA.
Over the years, he has worked on a dozen of space-based flight investigations and
the Space Shuttle, and ultimately flew aboard the Shuttle Columbia in 1992. Dr.
Eugene H. Trinh never expected that he would make history as the first Vietnamese-
American physicist to fly aboard NASA Space Shuttle Columbia mission STS-50 in
1992.
“The sight and sounds of the space shuttle always brings back a rush of great memories of good friends, and
the excitement of the past youth,” said Dr. Trinh.

Space Exploration
For centuries, people dreamed about leaving the Earth and travelling to other worlds. Then, in 1957, the
Soviet Union, now Russia, made the first small step into space by punching a small satellite, called Sputnik. The
Space Age began.
Early space activities were dominated by the United States and the Soviet Union. However, as time went by,
Europe and Japan also learned how to build their own satellitesand rockets. Today, countries such as China,
India, South Korea, Israel and Brazil are developing their own space industries.
During the last 50 years, unmanned probes have been sent towards all of the planets in the solar system, as
well as many satellites, asteroids and comets while space buggies have driven over the surfaces of the moon and
Mars. The sun has also been explored in great detail by a fleet of spacecraft.
Many space observatories, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, have been
launched to look at the distant universe. They have sent back some amazing
pictures taken in visible light. But they can also observe stars and galaxies at
wavelengths that are invisible to human eyes - radio, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays
and gamma rays. The flood of discoveries has changed the way we look at the
universe.
More than 500 people have also flown in space since Yuri Gagarin paved the
way in 1961. 20 people have travelled to the moon and 12 of them have walked on the moon. Space stations
have been built, and astronauts have learned to live and work in space for many months, or even years.
Task 1. Read the statements and decide whether they are true (T), or false (F), or not given (NG).

1. There was a race in space exploration between the United States and the Soviet
Union in the early stage.

A Mission to Mars
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is an
actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as the Mars
One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen people
will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip.
For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be living the
rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow them to get
along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have to deal with that
condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the earth
via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time communication.
Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking. There
is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable score

I. Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
The concept of parental authority has changed. Today, no parent can take their children’s respect for granted:
authority has to be earned. Several studies have shown the following problems.
Trust: A lot of young people say their parents don’t trust them. Some of them
have no privacy: their parents read all their emails, and enter their rooms without
knocking. All of these actions demonstrate lack of respect.Consequently, these
teenagers have little respect for their parents.
Communication: Hardly any teens discuss their problems with their parents.
That’s because very few teens feel their parents really listen to them. Instead,
most parents tend to fire off an immediate response to their kids’ first sentence.
Freedom: Interestingly, most rebels come from very authoritarian homes where kids have very little freedom.
Teens need fewer rules but they have to be clear and unchangeable. Also, if the mother and father don’t agree
about discipline, teens have less respect for both parents. They also need a lot of support and a little freedom to
take their own decisions. None of them enjoy just listening to adults.
Role models: Teens don’t have much respect for their parents if neither of them actually does things that they
expect their children to do. Like everybody, teens appreciate people who practise what they preach.
T F
1. Parents have to earn much money in order to have parental authority.
2. That parents read their children’s email may be considered that they don’t have much
trust in their children.
3. The more parents violate their children’s freedom, the less respect they can get from
their children.
4. Children often face the problem that their parents are not willing to listen to them.

II. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow.
Women's Role in Contemporary Korea
In a traditional Korean society, women's roles were confined to the home. From a young age, women were
taught the virtues of subordination and endurance to prepare for their future roles as wife and mother. Women,
in general, could not participate in society as men did, and their role was limited to household matters.
The situation began to change with the opening of the country to the outside world during the late 19 th
century. During this period modern schools were introduced, mostly by Western Christian missionaries. Some
of these schools were founded with the specific goal of educating women. These educated women began to
engage in the arts, teaching, religious work, and enlightening other women. Women also took part in the
independence movement against the Japanese occupation, and displayed as much vigor, determination, and
courage as the men.
With the establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948, women achieved constitutional rights for equal
opportunities to pursue education, work, and public life. There is no doubt that the female labor force
contributed significantly to the rapid economic growth that Korea achieved during the past three decades. An
increasing number of women work in professional fields.
By 2004, among those graduating from elementary school, 99.5 percent of girls continued their education in
middle school. The comparable figure for high school and university was 87.6 percent.
In terms of characteristics of the female labor force, by 2004, 22.6 percent of female employees were
serving in professional or managerial positions.
With an increasing number of women entering professional jobs, the government passed the “Equal
Employment Act” in 1987 to prevent discriminatory practices against female workers in regard to hiring and
promotion opportunities.
Task 1. Read the passage again, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
T F
1. In the past, from the young age girls were taught to follow their careers in society.
2. The first modem schools in Korea were established by Western Christian missionaries.
3. The achievements in the economic growth of Korea have been done mostly by women.
4. The constitution of the Republic of Korea recognizes equality between men and women.
5. The “Equal Employment Act” passed in 1987 allowed women to take power in hiring
and promotion opportunities.

VII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Vanessa Van Petten, at the age of sixteen, wrote a book for parents from the
teenage opinions: How to Stop Fighting and Make the Teenage years Easier. By the age of twenty-one, she
had created RadicalParenting.com, an online community for parents and teens. That’s where, with two full-time
employees, Van Petten’s 120 bloggers aged twelve to twenty answer questions from parents. The site makes
money through advertising and sponsored links to other websites.
Vanessa's advice:
Get advice and help: “Everyone said I was too young to start a company but I used online resources, read
books, attended conferences and got advice from people I know. That’s how I learned about the business so
quickly.”
Reach new audiences: “Social media is a great way to get in touch with new users - that’s why we went on
sites for parents and personally emailed videos to big users in each community.”
Do something that works: “Most importantly, we offered advice that actually works. Parents increasingly
spreading our articles by words of mouth. We want to build a brand that is not only interesting but also life-
changing.”
