EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour is an annual event which asks you to switch off all your lights for one hour. The aim
is to involve as many people as possible in positive change for our planet.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it’s a big event usually
at the end of March every year. In this evening, people 'go dark’ - that is, switch off lights in their
homes, schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour. Earth Hour started in Australia in
2007, when 2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then, it
has grown into an international event, and many countries around the world have taken part. Famous
buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour include the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge,
the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace in
London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New York’s Empire State
Building.
What’s the idea behind Earth Hour?
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for action to protect nature, so
that people enjoy healthy, happy and sustainable lives now and in the future. It’s true that switching
off the lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this is only the beginning.

9
On one level, joining Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of climate change and what
we can do in everyday life to protect nature.
What does ‘60+’ mean?
The logo of Earth Hour is ‘60+’. The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour, and the
plus invites people to keep on taking action even after Earth Hour is finished. In fact, people who
join Earth Hour say that taking part makes them want to do more for the environment. The climate
activist Greta Thunberg says that ‘Earth Hour is every hour of every day.’
36. When is Earth Hour?
A. March 3rd annually B. at the end of March every year
C. in 2007 D. 60 minutes
37. What do people do for Earth Hour?

earning cash right away. Others spend years and years studying in school in order to get a better job.

27
Which is best? Actually, studies show that in most jobs, the higher your education, the higher
your earning power.

you finished high school means an extra $7,000!
If you stay in school, you can make more money. A person who goes to college and gets a
bachelor’s degree can make an average of $52,200. With a master’s degree, he or she can make
about $62,000. And studies show that if a person gets a PhD, he or she can make $89,000 or more a
year.

make more money, spend more time in school.

Cell phones are an integral part of our society and their main use is communication. They keep
students in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In my day,

37
if you forgot your lunch, you were at the mercy of the office calling home for you. Now, students
have the ability to solve their own problems and handle certain emergencies on their own.
Cell phones also allow students to keep in touch with students at other schools or friends that
don’t go to school. While not an educational benefit directly, better relationships can lead to higher
self-esteem and reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones
allow students to capture the kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture, and, in some
cases, can act as documentation of misbehavior in the same way that store cameras provide evidence
and deter bad behavior.
Academically, the cell phone can act as to record video of a procedure of explanation that may
need to be reviewed later. It could be used to record audio of a lecture, as well, for later review. And
just imagine if classes could be easily taped for students who are absent? What if they could even
be streamed and seen from home instantly?

as there are similarities between the two.
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a
broader skull than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels
raised up from the ground. This is more similar to a cat’s walk than a dogs.
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This
means that dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship.
Wolves have not been domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a
juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A
dog might seem smart by performing tricks for people. Wolves need to be smart to survive in the
wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf
could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.
It’s important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should
be appreciated in its own habitat or home.

If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In
order to do this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a shortcut for this. But there are
many effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics,

52
newspapers, magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the
meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the
definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be your first choice and keep the
translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in English which will also
help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep a
vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise
them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words. Even if you just
say the words one after another, people most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the
order of the words and grammar.

There are many kinds of books in the world. They fall into two categories which are fiction and

 Fiction books are written using the imagination. The characters and events surrounding them
are not real. Fiction books can be found in abundance at bookstores and libraries. They can even be
found on the shelves of comic shops and game shops. Often, fiction books are written in two or
three combinations from the science, fantasy and classical groups. The most popular kind among
youngsters is probably in the area of fantasy. Anything involving magic and witchcraft, spacecraft
and aliens, or superheroes and time travel may be used in this category.
Many different kinds of non-fiction books are available on the market. These are written about
facts, real people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are written by
people who have experienced or witnessed the happening themselves. Real-life stories can also be
contributed by readers and thus found in magazines and newspapers.

increases. Although reading is a good form of habit, choosing the right kind of books to read is just
as important. We, as the readers, have a responsibility to learn to choose wisely.

62
 The first Hawaiians arrived from other Pacific islands sometime around 100 AD. Then in
1778, Captain Cook arrived in Hawaii. He put the islands on his maps of the Pacific Ocean. Then
more ships knew Hawaii and began stopping there for supplies. In 1820, a small group of people
from the eastern United States came to teach the Hawaiian people about Christianity. They started
farms to grow sugar cane and pineapples. Because there were not enough people to do all the farm
work, farm owners brought in Asians - Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos.
Later Koreans, Portuguese, and Puerto Ricans also came. More people came from the US
mainland and from other Pacific islands, and Hawaii has become a place with traditions from
several countries. People from the various nation groups have married each other, so today the
groups are partly mixed. Hawaiians are very friendly and always welcome visitors. They celebrate
traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino holidays as well as holidays from the United States.

Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the food
groups. It also means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat, cholesterol, refined
sugar, and salt. The goal is to take in nutrients you need for health at the recommended levels. You

76
can get the most nutrients by choosing foods with a high-nutrient density. Nutrient-dense foods
provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals and relatively few calories, such as fresh fruit
and vegetables, lean meat and fish, and whole grains and beans.
Low-nutrient dense foods have few vitamins but lots of calories, such as candy bars, soda,
donuts and onion rings. Vegetable sources of protein, such as nuts, beans, and whole grains are great
choices and offer vitamins, minerals and healthy fibers. The best protein choices are poultry and
fish. For those who love red meat, you should stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion
sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet. Developing healthy eating habits is not as
confusing or as restrictive as you may imagine. The first principle of a healthy diet is simply to eat a
wide variety of foods. This is important because different foods make different nutritional
contributions. Fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes-foods high in complex carbohydrates, fiber,
vitamins, and minerals, low in fat and free of cholesterol-should make up the bulk of the calories
you consume. The rest should come from low-fat dairy products, lean meat and poultry, and fish.
25. The following things are low-nutrient dense foods EXCEPT ____________.
A. candy bars B. soft drinks C. donuts and onion rings D. peanuts

Sleep is very important. Did you know that sleep is more important than food? A person who
does not sleep dies at a younger age than a person who does not eat. Let’s say you go to sleep 12
hours later than you usually do. It will take your body about three weeks to return to normal. We
spend about one-third (1/3) of our lives in sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!

Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. A teenager needs 9 to 10
hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need
only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes
down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older. Most people have some nights when
they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people
cannot fall asleep or stay asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia. The word insomnia means
“no sleep.” Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” They may sleep lightly and wake up several
times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake, so they think they were
awake all night. This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of
these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman and
inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France
had 413 beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had
a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!

There are many advantages and drawbacks of city life that you need to know before deciding
whether to settle down there or not.

101
 Cities are large and highly populated areas and therefore often seem like very crowded places.
Because the population is more concentrated, there are often traffic jams, packed public
transportation and streets swarming with people in a rush. Pollution is one of the major problems
caused by high population density. Motor vehicle emissions contribute to low quality of air and are a
major component of smog in some large cities. Another thing to have in mind if you want to reside
in urban areas is the high prices of accommodations. For the price of an apartment in the city, one
can buy a large property in the country, with lots of indoor and also outdoor space.
At the same time, there are many advantages of living in the city. Everything you may need is
close by starting with hospitals, banks, educational institutions, shops, etc. Cities also have a
developed infrastructure like electricity, telecommunication, water and transportation facilities.
While in the city you can get anywhere by public transportation or a taxi relatively quickly, to get
anywhere in the countryside you have to have a vehicle and drive. If you are unemployed and are
looking for a job, the city provides a lot more employment opportunities. High-paying jobs in
finance, medicine, law, retail or advertising tend to be found in the cities. One can also work
remotely, but that means fewer career options.
Consider carefully to have your own choice!
25. According to the passage, cities are ____________ places.
A. large and crowded B. small and crowded
C. big and noisy D. large and quiet

shops.

Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through
my own experiences and observations, I have come to support my opinion on this issue.
My experience that supports this theory involved my job last summer of 2004. I paced around
the house for a while. Finally, I decided to sit down and read the newspaper. There was a section on
the community which contained a list of volunteer activities. They ranged from helping in soup
kitchens to helping as an electrician.
I called a number and decided to spend my time taking care of the grocery shopping for an
elderly handicapped woman. She has since become a good friend. Finally, I was spending my time
having fun. I was making a difference in one woman’s life. It may not have paid in dollars. The
experience and pleasure I gained was more valuable to me than any amount of money I could have
earned.
Even more significant is the value and importance of community service in our society.
Without community service in our society, many people would not know the importance of charity.
Serving in your community takes away some of the problems that exist in your society and in the
world as a whole.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Some people prefer the quiet life of the countryside. However, cities have many benefits over
villages.
Firstly, city life is very convenient. Children growing up in villages do not have as much access
to education as children in cities. Villages may not have enough children to create a school system
that goes all the way through high school; these kids must go to cities to continue their education.
Cities have multiple forms of education such as colleges and universities. More libraries and
museums are available in cities. Entertainment is readily accessible in cities in the form of movie
theaters, amusement parks and restaurants.
Secondly, the city provides better healthcare. Villages may have a local doctors’ clinic, but
cities often have multiple hospitals and doctors specializing in even rare conditions. In a city,
ambulances and firetrucks may take only minutes to arrive at the scene. In villages, getting to a
hospital in an emergency may take precious time.
Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career. Villages have a smaller
population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available. Living in the city provides people with
thousands of career choices. Professionals have access to large businesses, hospitals and educational
facilities for work opportunities. People with less education can more readily find jobs in customer
service or entry-level jobs. Even specialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a
city with a large population.

113
 I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents. As city populations increase, so do
businesses. People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities. As time passes, more and
more people all over the world leave villages and move to cities, seeking a new life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
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. Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects of life in
Viet Nam that are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam 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, Viet Nam, 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
the 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 Viet Nam has not changed. The Vietnamese work collectively and happily towards the
development of their country.

123
 To conclude, while there are differences in past and present lifestyles, there are important
similarities. Although Viet Nam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and always
will be, the friendly welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and
rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft
drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports as franchises
for Me Donald’s and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including
Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to
quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more
poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world
cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables
available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative
cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical

Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children
learn the letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link
between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many
TV shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And
of course, more time in front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the

teaching them to watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

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.
On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, destroy two
million hectares of land in the U.S every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of about 20 kilometers an
hour and can last for weeks, consuming everything - trees, brush, homes, and humans - in its path.
There are three conditions for a wildfire. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to bum. Heat sources
help start the wildfire. Although most wildfires are started by people, natural factors like lightning,
hot winds, and even the sun can all provide enough heat to start a wildfire.
Firefighters fight wildfires by removing the conditions for a wildfire to bum. Traditional
methods include using water and fire retardants to put out the fires. Firefighters also fight wildfires
with “controlled burning”. These controlled forest fires remove small trees, bushes, and ground litter
from a forest. This will deprive a wildfire of fuel and prevent future forest fires.
Although often harmful and destructive to humans, wildfires play an important role in nature.
Even healthy forests contain dead trees and decaying plant matter. When a fire turns them to ashes,
nutrients return to the soil. They also remove sick plants and harmful insects from a forest. And by

151
burning through thick leaves and branches, wildfires allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, making
it possible for a new generation of trees to grow.
21. What does the phrase “deprive a wildfire of fuel” in the third paragraph mean?
A. create fuel for a wildfire B. provide a wildfire with fuel
C. save fuel for a wildfire D. take away fuel from a wildfire
22. What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. wildfires B. forests C. ashes D. nutrients
23. According to the last paragraph, why do wildfires play an important role in nature?
A. They bum all leaves and branches. B. They bum sick plants and harmful insects.
C. They bum a new generation of trees. D. They bum nutrients in the soil to ashes.
24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Benefits of wildfires B. Causes of wildfires
C. Worldwide wildfires D. Controlled wildfires

The Americans are keen to win the race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of
NASA, Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet
in the solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the Moon and back by the
Apollo 11 mission. It bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

Coal, oil and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power. However, not only
are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it’s important

166
to improve, explore and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind
power. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the
atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of
what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but
impractical for communities located far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution - free source
of renewable energy but it can’t be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind.
Solar power is renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add the earth’s heat load.
However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar power also requires expensive equipment.
Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy.
Conservation efforts coupled with renewable energy resources will ensure supplies of clean,
affordable energy for humanity’s future.

Read the following passage and Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this
water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better.
After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also
helps US go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 millilitres of water each day. But don’t drink all of
that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s
better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink
between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs.
This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow,
you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink
more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.

When the Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States of America by the people of
France, the people in America did not understand that Miss Liberty was a gift to all the Americans.
They thought she was a gift only to New York. So they didn't want to pay for her base. At that time,
Joseph Pulitzer was editor of the World newspaper. He wrote stories that asked people to give
money to help pay for Miss Liberty’s base. Pulitzer asked his friends who worked at other cities’
newspapers to help. Soon the country knew that Miss Liberty was a gift for everyone. The people
sent money. At least there was enough money to build the base.

181
 In Paris, the huge statue was taken down piece by piece. She was carefully packed in 214 boxes.
In June 1884, she left for America. When Miss Liberty’s ship arrived in America, ninety boats
greeted her with flags flying. They went with her into New York Harbor. The base, which had to be
very big and solid to hold the lady, was not finished. So, Miss Liberty was stored on Bedloe’s
Island. When the last stone of the base was put in place, the workers showered coins from their
pockets into the wet mortar. They were very happy. Next came the hard task of putting Miss Liberty
together. The people on shore watched each day as the framework rose higher into the sky. Then
came the copper “skin". Miss Liberty began as a sign of the friendship between the two countries.
Since that time, she has come to mean freedom for the Americans.
21. Which of the following best describes the sequence of stages that the statue passed through?
A. packed in boxes, carried overseas, taken apart, put together, stored on an island.

C. Before the workers showed coins from their pockets into the wet mortar.

On the fourth Thursday in November, in houses around the United States, families get together
for a feast, or a large meal. Almost all families eat turkey and cranberry sauce for this meal, and
have pumpkin pie for dessert. This feast is part of a very special day, the holiday of Thanksgiving.
In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult trip across the ocean from England. They landed in what is
now Massachusetts. In England the Pilgrims had not been allowed to freely practice their religion.
So they went to the New World in search of religious freedom.
The Pilgrims’ first winter was very hard. Almost half the group died of cold, hunger and
disease. But the Indians of Massachusetts taught the Pilgrims to plant com, to hunt and to fish.
When the next fall came, the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful to God and the
Indians and had a feast to give thanks. They invited the Indians to join them. This was the first
Thanksgiving.

186
 Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later because of the effort of a woman
named Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for a holiday of
Thanksgiving. At last she was successful. In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a
holiday.
How much is Thanksgiving today like the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving? In many ways they are
different. For example, historians think that the Pilgrims ate deer, not turkey. The idea of
Thanksgiving, though, is very much the same: Thanksgiving is a day on which we celebrate and
give thanks.

We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try, we’ll never succeed. Instead

starve to death.

EARTH HOUR
Earth Hour is an annual event which asks you to switch off all your lights for one hour. The aim
is to involve as many people as possible in positive change for our planet.
What is Earth Hour?
Earth Hour is organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and it’s a big event usually
at the end of March every year. In this evening, people 'go dark’ - that is, switch off lights in their
homes, schools and businesses all at the same time for one hour. Earth Hour started in Australia in
2007, when 2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. Since then, it
has grown into an international event, and many countries around the world have taken part. Famous
buildings that have gone dark for Earth Hour include the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge,

207
the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace in
London, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Forbidden City in Beijing and New York’s Empire State
Building.
What’s the idea behind Earth Hour?
The idea is to raise awareness of environmental issues and call for action to protect nature, so
that people enjoy healthy, happy and sustainable lives now and in the future. It’s true that switching
off the lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. But this is only the beginning.
On one level, joining Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of climate change and what
we can do in everyday life to protect nature.
What does ‘60+’ mean?
The logo of Earth Hour is ‘60+’. The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour, and the
plus invites people to keep on taking action even after Earth Hour is finished. In fact, people who
join Earth Hour say that taking part makes them want to do more for the environment. The climate
activist Greta Thunberg says that ‘Earth Hour is every hour of every day.’
36. When is Earth Hour?
A. March 3rd annually B. at the end of March every year
C. in 2007 D. 60 minutes
37. What do people do for Earth Hour?
A. Switch off non-essential lights.
B. Watch TV to participate in the campaign
C. Raise awareness of environmental issues
D. Switch on the lights at famous buildings.
38. What does the word “go dark" mean?
A. walking in the dark B. living in the dark
C. switch off lights D. turn on lights
39. According to the passage, which of these have gone dark for Earth Hour EXCEPT
____________?
A. The Petronas Towers
B. The Eiffel Tower
C. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
D. The Sydney Opera House
40. According to paragraph 3, how does Earth Hour help the planet?
A. It makes people switch off lights in their homes, schools and businesses.

208
B. It helps people know more about climate change.
C. It encourages people to take action to protect the environment.
D. It raises people’s awareness of environmental issues.

Everyone wants a job that pays well. Some people stop school early because they want to start
earning cash right away. Others spend years and years studying in school in order to get a better job.
Which is best? Actually, studies show that in most jobs, the higher your education, the higher
your earning power.
For example, in the United States, high school graduates can make about $30,400 a year. The
people who do not finish high school average only $23,400 a year. Just having a document that says
you finished high school means an extra $7,000!
If you stay in school, you can make more money. A person who goes to college and gets a
bachelor’s degree can make an average of $52,200. With a master’s degree, he or she can make
about $62,000. And studies show that if a person gets a PhD, he or she can make $89,000 or more a
year.
Of course, people with different occupations have different salaries. If you want to work and
make more money, spend more time in school.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Cell phones are an integral part of our society and their main use is communication. They keep
students in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In my day,
if you forgot your lunch, you were at the mercy of the office calling home for you. Now, students
have the ability to solve their own problems and handle certain emergencies on their own.
Cell phones also allow students to keep in touch with students at other schools or friends that
don’t go to school. While not an educational benefit directly, better relationships can lead to higher
self-esteem and reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones
allow students to capture the kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture, and, in some
cases, can act as documentation of misbehavior in the same way that store cameras provide evidence
and deter bad behavior.
Academically, the cell phone can act as to record video of a procedure of explanation that may
need to be reviewed later. It could be used to record audio of a lecture, as well, for later review. And
just imagine if classes could be easily taped for students who are absent? What if they could even
be streamed and seen from home instantly?
25. Which does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Cell phones will be used as textbooks.
B. How some electronic devices are used in education.
C. Cell phones can be used as an excellent record.
D. How cell phones are used in communication and education.

English is one of the most popular languages in the world. It comes second in the number of
speakers after Chinese. In Viet Nam, more and more people are studying English and they consider
it a key to success. However, not everyone knows how to learn English effectively.
The best way to improve the four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing is to practice
regularly. You should make use of every opportunity to speak English with friends in class or at
English speaking clubs or ourselves in front of the mirror. Learning by heart all the words does not
help much if you do not read a lot because you will easily forget what you have learned. Reading
books, listening to the radio, and watching films are better ways to memorize words. Besides,
English learners should not be so shy because making mistakes is unavoidable in learning foreign
languages. Practicing speaking a lot is a good way to correct your mistakes.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other
hand, have not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about
14,000 years old. Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and
dogs share some of the same genes, they are not exactly alike. In fact, there are as many differences
as there are similarities between the two.
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a
broader skull than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels
raised up from the ground. This is more similar to a cat’s walk than a dogs.
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This
means that dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship.
Wolves have not been domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a
juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn into a mature adult, while a young dog does not mature. A
dog might seem smart by performing tricks for people. Wolves need to be smart to survive in the
wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion that a wolf
could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.
It’s important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should
be appreciated in its own habitat or home.

A. the differences and similarities between wolves and dogs

If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In
order to do this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a shortcut for this. But there are
many effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics,
newspapers, magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the
meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the
definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be your first choice and keep the
translator as last. Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in English which will also
help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep a
vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise
them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words. Even if you just

241
say the words one after another, people most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the
order of the words and grammar.

There are many kinds of books in the world. They fall into two categories which are fiction and
nonfiction. Well-received books from either kind are even made into movies and games.
Fiction books are written using the imagination. The characters and events surrounding them
are not real. Fiction books can be found in abundance at bookstores and libraries. They can even be
found on the shelves of comic shops and game shops. Often, fiction books are written in two or
three combinations from the science, fantasy and classical groups. The most popular kind among
youngsters is probably in the area of fantasy. Anything involving magic and witchcraft, spacecraft
and aliens, or superheroes and time travel may be used in this category.
Many different kinds of non-fiction books are available on the market. These are written about
facts, real people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are written by
people who have experienced or witnessed the happening themselves. Real-life stories can also be
contributed by readers and thus found in magazines and newspapers.

increases. Although reading is a good form of habit, choosing the right kind of books to read is just
as important. We, as the readers, have a responsibility to learn to choose wisely.

Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all the food
groups. It also means eating certain things in moderation, namely saturated fat, cholesterol, refined
sugar, and salt. The goal is to take in nutrients you need for health at the recommended levels. You
can get the most nutrients by choosing foods with a high-nutrient density. Nutrient-dense foods
provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals and relatively few calories, such as fresh fruit
and vegetables, lean meat and fish, and whole grains and beans.
Low-nutrient dense foods have few vitamins but lots of calories, such as candy bars, soda,
donuts and onion rings. Vegetable sources of protein, such as nuts, beans, and whole grains are great
choices and offer vitamins, minerals and healthy fibers. The best protein choices are poultry and
fish. For those who love red meat, you should stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion
sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet. Developing healthy eating habits is not as
confusing or as restrictive as you may imagine. The first principle of a healthy diet is simply to eat a
wide variety of foods. This is important because different foods make different nutritional
contributions. Fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes-foods high in complex carbohydrates, fiber,
vitamins, and minerals, low in fat and free of cholesterol-should make up the bulk of the calories
you consume. The rest should come from low-fat dairy products, lean meat and poultry, and fish.

263

Sleep is very important. Did you know that sleep is more important than food? A person who
does not sleep dies at a younger age than a person who does not eat. Let’s say you go to sleep 12
hours later than you usually do. It will take your body about three weeks to return to normal. We
spend about one-third (1/3) of our lives in sleep. That’s about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day.
Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours of sleep. A teenager needs 9 to 10
hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need
only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes
down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older. Most people have some nights when
they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people
cannot fall asleep or stay asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia. The word insomnia means
“no sleep.” Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” They may sleep lightly and wake up several
times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake, so they think they were
awake all night. This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of
these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman and
inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France
had 413 beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had
a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!

Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through
my own experiences and observations, I have come to support my opinion on this issue.
My experience that supports this theory involved my job last summer of 2004. I paced around
the house for a while. Finally, I decided to sit down and read the newspaper. There was a section on
the community which contained a list of volunteer activities. They ranged from helping in soup
kitchens to helping as an electrician.

287
 I called a number and decided to spend my time taking care of the grocery shopping for an
elderly handicapped woman. She has since become a good friend. Finally, I was spending my time
having fun. I was making a difference in one woman’s life. It may not have paid in dollars. The
experience and pleasure I gained was more valuable to me than any amount of money I could have
earned.
Even more significant is the value and importance of community service in our society.
Without community service in our society, many people would not know the importance of charity.
Serving in your community takes away some of the problems that exist in your society and in the
world as a whole.
In conclusion, I believe that choosing to help your community through community service
should be very important to you. It is also important to the people around you. I feel that helping in
your community to benefit others will bring you good things. You will also make the person you
helped feel cared about. 36. The text is mainly about.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each

Some people prefer the quiet life of the countryside. However, cities have many benefits over
villages.
Firstly, city life is very convenient. Children growing up in villages do not have as much access
to education as children in cities. Villages may not have enough children to create a school system
that goes all the way through high school; these kids must go to cities to continue their education.
Cities have multiple forms of education such as colleges and universities. More libraries and
museums are available in cities. Entertainment is readily accessible in cities in the form of movie
theaters, amusement parks and restaurants.
Secondly, the city provides better healthcare. Villages may have a local doctors’ clinic, but
cities often have multiple hospitals and doctors specializing in even rare conditions. In a city,
ambulances and firetrucks may take only minutes to arrive at the scene. In villages, getting to a
hospital in an emergency may take precious time.
Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career. Villages have a smaller
population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available. Living in the city provides people with
thousands of career choices. Professionals have access to large businesses, hospitals and educational
facilities for work opportunities. People with less education can more readily find jobs in customer
service or entry-level jobs. Even specialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a
city with a large population.
I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents. As city populations increase, so do
businesses. People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities. As time passes, more and
more people all over the world leave villages and move to cities, seeking a new life.

of the questions.
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. Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects of life in
Viet Nam that are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam 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, Viet Nam, 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
the 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

301
the people of Viet Nam 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 Viet Nam has changed in many ways, there always have been, and always
will be, the friendly welcoming smiles of the Vietnamese people.

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and
rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft
drinks. By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America’s strongest exports as franchises
for Me Donald’s and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including
Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to
quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more
poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world
cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables
available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative
cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical

 Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children
learn the letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link
between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many
TV shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And
of course, more time in front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the
cause of lower grades.

educational programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest
teaching them to watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

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.
On average, more than 100,000 wildfires, also called wildland fires or forest fires, destroy two
million hectares of land in the U.S every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of about 20 kilometers an
hour and can last for weeks, consuming everything - trees, brush, homes, and humans - in its path.
There are three conditions for a wildfire. Oxygen is necessary for a fire to bum. Heat sources
help start the wildfire. Although most wildfires are started by people, natural factors like lightning,
hot winds, and even the sun can all provide enough heat to start a wildfire.
Firefighters fight wildfires by removing the conditions for a wildfire to bum. Traditional
methods include using water and fire retardants to put out the fires. Firefighters also fight wildfires
with “controlled burning”. These controlled forest fires remove small trees, bushes, and ground litter
from a forest. This will deprive a wildfire of fuel and prevent future forest fires.
Although often harmful and destructive to humans, wildfires play an important role in nature.
Even healthy forests contain dead trees and decaying plant matter. When a fire turns them to ashes,
nutrients return to the soil. They also remove sick plants and harmful insects from a forest. And by
burning through thick leaves and branches, wildfires allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, making
it possible for a new generation of trees to grow.
21. What does the phrase “deprive a wildfire of fuel” in the third paragraph mean?
A. create fuel for a wildfire B. provide a wildfire with fuel
C. save fuel for a wildfire D. take away fuel from a wildfire
22. What does the word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. wildfires B. forests C. ashes D. nutrients
23. According to the last paragraph, why do wildfires play an important role in nature?
A. They bum all leaves and branches. B. They bum sick plants and harmful insects.
C. They bum a new generation of trees. D. They bum nutrients in the soil to ashes.
24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Benefits of wildfires B. Causes of wildfires
C. Worldwide wildfires D. Controlled wildfires

in the solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the Moon and back by the

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.
Coal, oil and natural gas supply modem civilization with most of its power. However, not only
are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. Therefore, it’s important
to improve, explore and develop such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind
power. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the
atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they create the difficult problem of
what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this
water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better.
After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also
helps US go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 millilitres of water each day. But don’t drink all of
that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s
better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink
between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs.
This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow,
you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink
more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.

A. neither too hot nor too cold B. as cool as possible

When the Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States of America by the people of
France, the people in America did not understand that Miss Liberty was a gift to all the Americans.
They thought she was a gift only to New York. So they didn't want to pay for her base. At that time,
Joseph Pulitzer was editor of the World newspaper. He wrote stories that asked people to give
money to help pay for Miss Liberty’s base. Pulitzer asked his friends who worked at other cities’
newspapers to help. Soon the country knew that Miss Liberty was a gift for everyone. The people
sent money. At least there was enough money to build the base.
In Paris, the huge statue was taken down piece by piece. She was carefully packed in 214 boxes.
In June 1884, she left for America. When Miss Liberty’s ship arrived in America, ninety boats
greeted her with flags flying. They went with her into New York Harbor. The base, which had to be
very big and solid to hold the lady, was not finished. So, Miss Liberty was stored on Bedloe’s
Island. When the last stone of the base was put in place, the workers showered coins from their
pockets into the wet mortar. They were very happy. Next came the hard task of putting Miss Liberty
together. The people on shore watched each day as the framework rose higher into the sky. Then
came the copper “skin". Miss Liberty began as a sign of the friendship between the two countries.
Since that time, she has come to mean freedom for the Americans.

On the fourth Thursday in November, in houses around the United States, families get together
for a feast, or a large meal. Almost all families eat turkey and cranberry sauce for this meal, and
have pumpkin pie for dessert. This feast is part of a very special day, the holiday of Thanksgiving.
In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult trip across the ocean from England. They landed in what is
now Massachusetts. In England the Pilgrims had not been allowed to freely practice their religion.
So they went to the New World in search of religious freedom.
The Pilgrims’ first winter was very hard. Almost half the group died of cold, hunger and
disease. But the Indians of Massachusetts taught the Pilgrims to plant com, to hunt and to fish.
When the next fall came, the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful to God and the
Indians and had a feast to give thanks. They invited the Indians to join them. This was the first
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later because of the effort of a woman
named Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for a holiday of
Thanksgiving. At last she was successful. In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a
holiday.
How much is Thanksgiving today like the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving? In many ways they are
different. For example, historians think that the Pilgrims ate deer, not turkey. The idea of
Thanksgiving, though, is very much the same: Thanksgiving is a day on which we celebrate and
give thanks.

We can develop alternative sources of energy, and unless we try, we’ll never succeed. Instead

by conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy,
wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants... our fossil fuels will run out and we’ll all freeze or
starve to death.

professional golfers in the world. Tiger is from the United States. His father is African-American
and his mother is Thai. His real name is Eldrick, but everyone knows him as Tiger, the nickname his
father gave him.
He started playing golf professionally in 1996, and won all four of the World Golf
Championships before he turned 25. He holds the record as the youngest player ever to win all four
of these championships. Although he has played on many great golf courses, one of Tiger’s favorite
