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 following questions from 31 to 36.
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.

B. Chatting on the Internet is more difficult than talking with real people.
C. Chatting on the Internet is funnier than talking with real people.

Take a Bath!
Traveling is fun because you can see how people in other parts of the world live. One thing
travelers don't often think about before traveling is how other cultures bathe. And bathrooms
in many countries may be different from the kind you are used to.
In the United States, most people take a shower once a day in the morning. The showerhead is
usually mounted on the wall and cannot be moved. The bather simply stands under the water,
gets wet, scrubs with soap and often a washcloth, and then rinses off.
Children often take a bath each night and enjoy playing with small toys such as boats and rubber
ducks. Many adults, especially women, enjoy a soothing bath to get rid of stress at the end of
the day.
It is important to remember that when you take a shower or bath in the United States, you should
be careful to keep the water inside the bathtub or shower. Unlike bathrooms in many
countries, there is no drain in the floor. If water gets on the floor it cannot go anywhere and
must be cleaned up with a towel or mop. It can also cause problems for the floor. So be
careful. Question 31. The word “soothing” in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to .

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about.
However, in reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy
peace and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there
is less traffic, so it is safer for young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First,
because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment
is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops
and services means that it is hard to find jobs.

TEEN STRESS
Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed at
school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It's no wonder that many
young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. To try to
please everyone, they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance
homework assignments, parties, sports activities and friends result is that young people suffer
from stress.
There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, in the form of
coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which become
addictive. In the end, like other drugs, caffeine only leads to more stress. There are better
ways to deal with stress: physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases
certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. You have to get enough sleep to avoid
stress and to stay healthy and full of energy.
Another way to avoid stress is to manage your time effectively. It is better to do a few tasks
really well, than lots of tasks badly. Know your limits and try not to take on top much.
Finally, if it all gets beyond your control, don't panic or get hysterical. Find the time to sit
down quietly and breathe deeply for ten to twenty minutes. Do this regularly, and it will help
you calm down and put things into perspective.

in bunches of giggles and loads of smiles.

bribery. Nevertheless, it is common in Viet Nam for exchanging small gifts on certain

partner you should give the gift at a private occasion. If you have a gift for the whole office

when receiving or not. Regardless of when it is opened or what it is, profuse thanks are
always appropriate.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW
Although there are 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 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.

For 3,000 years, Mongolians have lived in the rural areas, moving to search new
grassland for their cattle. They depend on their livestock for a living. Today, about half of
Mongolia's population is living in the ger and moving their camping equipment several times
a year. Nomadic life develops in summer and survives in winter. When the weather is warm,
they work hard on their farms to get milk and make a type of milk alcohol, consuming meat
from their sheep and goats. Once winter comes, temperatures drop quickly and they stay
indoors and survive on horse meat.
With the rise of technology, changes in the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle are almost
inevitable. Many herders use motorbikes to herd cattle and horses. To move their homes, they
use trucks instead of ox carts. Solar panels are also becoming an addition to the ger, giving
them access to electricity without being confined to one place. The nomads use solar energy
to power TV sets and mobile phones.
