Thời gian làm bài: 60 phút

(Đề 3)

I. READING 

1. Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question. 

   More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great advantages.

   One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be useful for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the job market at a later age with no work experience.

   Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When teenagers make money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to spend it foolishly. 

1. Which of the following is a good title for the passage? 

   A. Why teenagers should work

   B. Advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs

   C. Part-time jobs cause stress

2. According to the passage, what is NOT an effect of part-time jobs? 

   A. Teenagers become organized.

   B. Teenagers become stressed.

   C. Teenagers are more likely to have successful careers. 

3. The word “cope with” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______. 

   A. fight against

   B. deal with

   C. suffer from

4. According to the passage, when teenagers have jobs, they are more likely to _______. 

   A. spend foolishly 

   B. want expensive things 

   C. appreciate money

5. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? 

   A. Only some US students do part-time jobs. 

   B. US students suffer part-time job stress.

   C. Part-time jobs are somehow good for teenagers. 

2. Read the following passage. Match the paragraphs with the headings.

TEENS’ SOURCES OF STRESS

1. In adolescence, teens experience so many physical and psychological changes that they may not know how to deal with. Many boys feel obsessed with their voice or appearance. Girls feel annoyed with unwanted spots on their faces.

2. As teens reach adolescence, they have more friends and come in contact with many more people. They now have to learn to interact socially and they may find it is not easy to adjust in the complicated world or to gain social acceptance.

3. Many teenagers start to have emotional feelings for another boy or girl, or feel the need to be loved. If a teen fails to get love from the one he/she likes or loves, they may find it is hard to get over the painful experience.

4. Pressures to do well academically can be a source of stress. If teens are academically b, they can perform well. If not, they suffer from endless stress.

5. Being under pressures of a number of things, teenagers become constantly anxious. If they are unlucky to fail in anything, they may fall into the feeling of self-doubt and low self-esteem.

V. Read the text and decide if the following statements are True (T) or False (F)

          Hoi An, once known as Faifo, with more than 2,000 years history, was the principal port of the Cham Kingdom. While the serious shipping business has long been moved to Da Nang, the heart of the city is still the Old Town, full of winding lanes and Chinese-styled shop-houses. Although almost all shops now cater to the tourist trade, the architecture has been largely preserved, which is unusual in Vietnam, and renovation has proceeded slowly and carefully. 

          However, the culture & heritage that this UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) was trying to preserve has faded away. Since 1999, when UNESCO WHS status was awarded, there has been a massive increase in tourism - with the result that most houses have been sold by the community to speculators and shop owners to be used for commercial purposes. The former community, and with it their culture and heritage, has gone and in their place are endless indistinguishable shops, restaurants, art galleries, etc. There are literally hundreds of tailor shops in Hoi An.

Question 26. Hoi An used to be a trading port.                  

Question 27. Da Nang has replaced Hoi An as a hub for shipping business                     

Question 28. There are more than 100 tailor shops in Hoi An                

Question 29. The UNESCO World Heritage Site refers to Hoi An                   

Question 30. The culture and heritage of Hoi An has been largely preserved               

VI. Read the text and choose the best answer.                 

ROOTED IN THE PAST

          Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the community they live in. Manners are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to generation. Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave responsibly. They learnt to respect seniority. When they passed an object to another person, they had to use both hands. When they entered a room, they had to bow and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their families. Girls learnt to do housework, and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty were highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they would not let another person be punished for it. That would be cowardly and mean. They were taught that families were b, and everybody should stick together in adversity. Fortunately, many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed to making the unique Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our society.

Question 31. Good manners are _______________________.

A. value                           B. a treasure

C. a measure                    D. a leisure

Question 32. What did boys learn to do?

A.to respect seniority

B. to do housework

C. to support his family

D. to share good things

Question 33. ‘When they made a mistake, they would not let another person be punished for it,’ means they would ____.

A. deny their mistake

B. admit their mistake 

C. keep it a secret

D. punish others

Question 34. The underlined word ‘they’ refers to _____.

A. tradition                     B. generations

C. children                      D. seniority

Question 35. The phrase ‘cowardly and mean’ is used to describe a(n)____________ behaviour.

The Japanese also have low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact the Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when people move to the US, the rates of heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice-cream, and other high fat food become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as Cuba and Hungary. Not surprisingly, the disease rates in these countries are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently, doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer dairy products.

Read the passage about clothes, then answer the questions below. 

Clothes can tell a lot about a person. Some people like very colorful clothes because they want everyone to look at them and they want to be the center of things. Other people like to wear nice clothes, but their clothes are not colorful or fancy. They do not like people to look at them. Clothes today are very different from the clothes of the 1800s. One difference is the way they look. For example, in the 1800s all women wore dresses. The dresses all had long skirts. 

But today women do not always wear dresses with long skirts .Sometimes they wear short skirts. Sometimes they wear pants. Another difference between1800s and today is the cloth. In the 1800s, clothes were made only from natural kinds of cloth. They were made from cotton, wool, silk, or linen. But today, there are many kinds of man–made cloth. A lot of clothes are now made from nylon, rayon, or polyester.
