Exercise 4. Read the following text carefully. Then, look at the statements below and choose
whether each one is True or False based on the information in the passage.
Why Have Birds Neven Gotten as Big as T. Rex?
Evolution has a fondness for big birds. During the past 66 million years, repeated on different
continents and islands all over the world, avian dinosaurs have reached prodigious sizes and even become
apex predators in their ancient habitats. Ten-foot-tall elephant birds strutted across Madagascar until a
thousand years ago. The sharp-beaked “terror birds” of prehistoric South America were formidable
carnivores for tens of millions of years. And the nearly seven-foot-tall, nut-cracking Diatryma strutted
through ancient forests of western North America in search of ripe fruit and nutritious seeds 45 million
years ago. Such

Page 7 of 16
enormous birds almost seem like a return to the Mesozoic days of giant, feathery dinosaurs, which raises the
question of whether such avians could ever reach Tyrannosaurus rex sizes.
The repeated evolution of huge birds is part of the dinosaurian legacy. Beaked birds were the only
dinosaurs to have survived the asteroid-triggered mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous. Avians like
the six-foot-tall Palaeeudyptes that waddled across ancient Antarctica about 30 million years ago and
Titanis, a towering carnivore that was the only terror bird to live in North America between 1.8 million and
5 million years ago, underscore that prodigious dinosaurs were not only relegated to
the times of Stegosaurus and Triceratops. The conditions that allowed birds to evolve to large size over
and over again have varied from case to case, however, and the process has left a lingering question. If birds
possess the traits that opened the possibility of truly giant, multi-ton statutes for non-avian dinosaurs, why
have we not seen a bird the size of a T. rex?
Smithsonian Magazine, “Why Have Birds Never Gotten as Big as T. rex?”

Statements True False

1. Birds have never grown taller than six feet in history
2. Some ancient birds were top predators in their ecosystems.
3. ‘Fondness’ in the first line means ‘strong favor’
4. All the giant birds ate meat.
5. Scientists still wonder why birds never evolved to be as big as T. rex.

Exercise 5. Read the following text carefully. Then, look at the statements below and choose
whether each one is True or False based on the information in the passage.
Discovering the thrills of Chu Va Mountain
While it may not soar to impressive heights, Chu Va Mountain presents an exhilarating challenge for
seasoned trekkers.
Nestled in Chu Va 12 Village, within the Tam Đường District of Lai Châu Province, this peak was
unveiled to adventurers only a few years ago. Standing at approximately 2,751m above sea level, Chu Va
has quickly become a beloved destination for trekking enthusiasts, drawn by its untamed beauty, swirling
clouds and captivating challenges.
The landscape surrounding Chu Va is a vibrant tapestry of diverse vegetation and ancient forests,
with seasonal flowers bursting into bloom, crafting a scene that is both majestic and poetic.
According to Nguyễn Đức Hùng, a traveller from Hà Nội, the journey to conquer Chu Va involves
three closely-knit peaks: Miêu Thạch Sơn, Chu Va and Can Chua Thìa Sảng. Tackling all three in a span of
two to three days (depending on your endurance) is a true test of stamina and preparation.
The route is steep and demanding, featuring sections that are nearly vertical. While other trails in Lai
Châu Province like Pờ Ma Lung and Nam Kang Ho Tao are known for their 'Three Hour Slope' (the time it
takes people to climb), Chu Va boasts a daunting 'Five Hour Slope'. Many areas require climbers to ascend
and descend using ropes, as the rocky terrain can be treacherously slippery, making it particularly
challenging for those with less upper body strength.
At Miêu Thạch Sơn Peak, climbers must navigate along steep cliffs that drop into a seemingly
bottomless abyss. The path from Chu Va to Can Chua Thìa Sảng is notorious for its narrow stretches – often
likened to a dinosaur’s spine – where parts of the trail are just one foot wide, with sheer drops on either side.
Việt Nam News, “Discovering the thrills of Chu Va Mountain”
Statements True False
1. Chu Va Mountain is more than 3,000 meters tall.
2. The path from Miêu Thạch Sơn to Can Chua Thìa Sảng is flat and easy.
3. Climbers often need to use ropes on some parts of the trail.
4. The landscape around Chu Va is mostly dry and barren.
5. Chu Va is popular among people who enjoy adventurous and difficult climbs.
Exercise 6. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
A Town that Lives in One Building

Page 8 of 16
Located in the beautiful state of Alaska, a little town called Whittier is tucked away in a picturesque area
surrounded by mountains and the ocean. This hidden gem is hard to reach: the only ways to and from
Whittier are either by ferry or through a one-lane tunnel that cuts through the mountains. This tunnel is
unique because it is shared by both vehicles and trains, necessitating a precisely managed schedule to
accommodate both modes of transportation and both directions of traffic.
Whittier’s economy thrives on its port, the town’s main source of employment, where cargo ships drop off
their containers for rail transportation across Alaska. The town also has a grocery store, a museum, two
hotels, and various other job opportunities for all its citizens: police officers, municipal workers, educators
at the local school, and marina staff. Tourism has grown over the last few years to become an alternative
source of income, drawing visitors to attractions such as the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, glacier jet
ski tours, and scenic boat excursions that offer breathtaking views of marine wildlife and icebergs.
But the most fascinating aspect of Whittier is perhaps the fact that nearly all of its 200-odd residents live
under the same roof. The Begich Towers, a 14-story building, is more than just an apartment complex; it’s a
self- contained town! The harsh winter weather helps to explain the convenience of this unusual way of
living. Whittier’s winter months are known for their heavy snowfalls and fierce winds. By having all the
necessary facilities and services in one building, the residents don’t have to brave the cold weather every
time they need to run an errand or go to church. Not even the children need to step outside to attend school,
which is in an adjacent building connected through a tunnel. It’s an ingenious solution that makes life in
such an extreme climate much more manageable.
Whittier might be small, but it’s a remarkable example of adaptability and community spirit. Its single-
building town, surrounded by Alaska’s breathtaking landscape, is a testament to human ingenuity and
resilience.

Tourism is one of the largest businesses in the world. There are nearly 800 million international
tourist arrivals each year. It employs, directly or indirectly, one in fifteen workers worldwide, from airport
cleaners to zookeepers. It includes bar staff, flight attendants, tour guides, and resort representatives. In
countries such as the Bahamas, over 60% of the economy is based on tourism.
Tourism has grown very quickly. In 1950, there were 25 million arrivals. This rose to 760 million in 2004,
and it is predicted to reach 1.6 billion by 2020. However, tourism faces many challenges: international
events, economic change, and security worries can affect growth.
Tourism can be powerful—but also dangerous. It creates many good jobs and careers, but it also
produces poor-paid work. It can help protect environments and wildlife, but it can also damage them.
Tourism may preserve cultures and local ways of life, yet it can also destroy them. It can change countries -
and people
- for better or worse.
One solution is responsible or “sustainable tourism”, which focuses on helping local communities
and protecting nature. Tourists are encouraged to support small local businesses, respect local traditions, and
avoid harming the environment. Many organizations now promote eco-tourism, which allows people to
enjoy

B. Different types of jobs available in the tourism industry
C. The development of tourism and its impact on the world
D. The reasons why people enjoy traveling abroad

B. showing respect towards local traditions.
C. not paying attention to environmental issues.
