Protecting the environment is very important for our planet. We need to take care of nature to keep the Earth
clean and healthy. There are many simple things we can do to help the environment. For example, we can
recycle paper, plastic, and glass. Recycling helps to reduce waste and save resources. Another way to
protect the environment is to save water. We should turn off the tap when brushing our teeth and take shorter
showers. Also, using less electricity can help. Turning off lights when we do not need them and using
energy-efficient bulbs can make a big difference.
In addition, planting trees is also very good for the environment. Trees clean the air and provide homes for
animals. They also help to keep the climate stable. We can all plant a tree in our garden or join a community
tree-planting event. Using public transport, walking, or riding a bike instead of driving a car helps reduce
pollution. Cars produce a lot of harmful gases that pollute the air. By choosing other ways to travel, we can
keep the air clean and reduce our carbon footprint. Everyone can help protect the environment. By making
small changes in our daily lives, we can make a big difference for our planet.

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 b interact with it. In the old days, 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.

school. While not directly beneficial to education, better relationships can lead to higher self-esteem and

correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
In the Mekong Delta, Long Dinh village in Tien Giang province is famous for its traditional craft of weaving
sedge mats. The mats' high quality makes them popular domestically, and they are also exported to markets
worldwide. In spite of Its well- established reputation for this traditional craft, mat weaving only started
here some 50 years ago. It was first introduced by immigrants from Kim Son, a famous mat-weaving village
in Ninh Binh province. However, the technique of weaving sedge mats in Long Dinh, as compared with
other places, is somewhat different. Long Dinh branded mats are thicker and have more attractive colours
and patterns.
Weaving sedge mats is similar to growing rice. Long Dinh mat production mainly occurs during the dry
season, from January to April. Weavers have to work the hardest in May and June; otherwise, when the rainy
season starts in July, they will have to put off finishing their products till the next dry season. No matter how
much work it requires, Long Dinh mat producers stick with this occupation, as it brings a higher income
than growing rice.
This trade provides employment for thousands of local labourers. At present, nearly 1,000 households in
Long Dinh village live on weaving mats. To better meet market demands, Long Dinh mat weavers have
created many kinds of products besides the traditional sedge mats.

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 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!
Question 31. What is the main idea of the passage?

Every one of us produces garbage of one kind or another. Some of the garbage is \ thrown into the sea. Some
is burnt or buried under the ground. Every year we need to find about 800,000 cubic metres of empty land
just to bury the garbage.
This is the same as filling one football stadium with garbage up to 20 metres high. This garbage damages the
environment. Although a lot of garbage is buried in the ground, some of it gets blown about in the wind.
Also, when garbage is burnt, poisonous gases are given off into the air. The garbage thrown into the sea will
pollute the water.
What can we do about these problems? One very easy answer is to produce less garbage. We can recycle
things made from glass and paper as well as tin cans. People can refuse to take the plastic bags from the
shops and supermarkets by bringing with them ; their own bags or baskets when they go shopping.
The government should tell people about the dangers of garbage pollution. Education is perhaps the most
important factor for keeping our environment healthy for s the future.

Eating a balanced diet means choosing a wide variety of foods and drinks from all s 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 fibres. 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, fibre, 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.
Question 31. The following things are low-nutrient dense foods EXCEPT ______.
A. candy bars B. soft drinks
C. donuts and onion rings D. peanuts
Question 32. Which are the best protein choices?
A. nuts, beans, and whole grains B. poultry and fish
C. donuts and onion rings D. green vegetables
Question 33. Eating a wide variety of foods is important because ______.

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. On 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. On one level, participating in 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 everyday.

who wish to arrive at their desired locations on time. That's why they must endure the pain of squeezing

Spoken by 68 million people in the world, Italian is the only official language of two countries (Italy
and...can you guess the second one? The answer is at the end of this passage!) and one of the official
languages of the European Union, the Vatican, and Switzerland.
As we have mentioned before, from a linguistic perspective Italian is a neo-Latin known as romance
language, and its history is intertwined with poetry and literature. We owe to Dante Alighieri and his Divina
Commedia - written in his native Florentine language - the standardisation of Italian, which soon became the
commonly spoken language among educated people all over the not-yet-become country.
Despite its celebrity, Italian is not the only language spoken in Italy. The Italian state recognizes not less
than 12 linguistic minorities, even though only three are actually in use in public schools in the areas of
interest: French in the Vailed Aosta, German in the Bolzano province, and Slovenian in the Trieste province.
In addition, Italy is the land of another great linguistic abundance: dialects. According to the UN, 29
dialects are spoken in the country, with the National Statistic Institute estimating that 14% of Italians only
speak a local dialect, and another 32,2% alternatively use Italian and a dialect depending on context.
The mix of Italian and dialects is not only part of the daily lives of many Italians, but also influences a big
part of Italian literature both of ancient and modern times. Some examples include Carlo Goldoni, Carlo
Emilio Gadda or, more recently, Andrea Camilleri, author of the Commissario Montalbano saga.
And now, the solution to our riddle is... the little Republic of San Marino! Did you guess?
Question 31. What is the best title of the passage?
A. People in Italy and their customs

Tet in Viet Nam starts with the first new moon, usually in late January or early February. The celebrations
usually last for three days. The Vietnamese celebrate Tet with family gatherings, wonderful foods and lion
dances. Let's take a look at some of the traditions linked to Tet, the most popular festival in Viet Nam.
♦ Red is a bright, happy colour that keeps away bad spirits. That's why people decorate their homes with red
and yellow to bring good luck for the next year. Also, parents and grandparents give children special lucky
money in red envelopes.
♦ One thing people avoid during Tet is sweeping the house. Before Tet, the Vietnamese clean their houses to
clear out any bad luck from the previous year. People finish cleaning before New Year's Day because they
believe you'll brush away your good luck if you sweep the house during Tet. People also buy branches of
apricot blossom or peach blossom, which symbolise a long life, to decorate their houses.
Traditionally, people travel back to their hometowns to celebrate Tet with their family. During their stay,
they visit relatives and have large meals together. They wear colourful new clothes to bring them good luck
for the coming new year. They also visit flower fairs s and calligraphy markets where calligraphers can write
poems on "giấy đỏ", wood or stone for them.

Motorists in China are experiencing a traffic jam from hell. Thousands of drivers have been stuck in their

August 14th when roadworks began. The bad news is that the chaos will continue for another month. The
tailbacks stretch back for 100km. The situation has been made worse by dozens of cars breaking down or
overheating. Around 400 traffic police have been assigned to patrol the jam to make sure tensions don't rise
too far. The horrendous snarl-up is the result of the explosion in the s number of cars on Chinese roads. As

charging them more than double prices for drinks and snacks. People are keeping themselves busy by
playing cards or board games. Some have reported feeling homesick. One truck driver Juang Shao expressed

turned into soup," he said. He said he was worried his truck could be stuck in the traffic forever.

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning because of its importance to your
body. 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.
Water 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. However, 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 I
normal digestion.

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.
Unlike life in the countryside, which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city is
modern and complicated. People from different regions move to cities in the hope of having a better life for
themselves and their children. With plenty of job opportunities available in the city, the inhabitants work as
secretaries, businessmen, teachers, government officials, factory workers, street vendors or construction
workers s and so on.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially those with low income, to work harder or to take
part-time jobs. For many people, daily life typically involves getting up in the early morning to do exercise
in public parks, preparing for a hard day of working and studying, then travelling along crowded boulevards
or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home late at night. They usually live in large
houses, high- \ rise apartment blocks or even in small rental rooms equipped with modern facilities, like the
Internet, telephone, television, and so on. Industrialization and modernization, as well as global integration,
have big impacts on lifestyle in cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of clothes. The Ao
dai, Vietnamese traditional clothes - is no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese women's daily life. Instead,
jeans, T-shirts and fashionable clothes are widely preferred.

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in teaching and
learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use them effectively to improve the quality

correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music may seem
to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to music. We are able to apply a
choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will
probably not make him s feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not
the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry ' person does
not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger
come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings
are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood
the effects of music.
In fact, Pythagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the
musicians of these ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting,
and beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better
understanding of the music around us, and s what effect it is actually having.

A. cannot be chosen B. affects everybody in the same way

When it comes to health, we often have fitness and food goals like losing weight, exercising regularly, eating
healthier or making better food choices. Losing weight could take months. Exercising regularly could take
years while eating healthier and making better food choices are hard to measure.
Before we achieve these goals, we may feel discouraged and give up. To feel motivated, we can break down
these health goals into smaller and more realistic steps. Here are 4 good eating habits which will definitely
help us to achieve our food goals. For those of us with diabetes, these healthy eating habits will also help us
to control our blood sugar.
 Choose water: Set a goal to drink water instead of sugar-sweetened drinks.
 Eat slowly: It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to send out signals that you are full. Eat slowly. Take
the extra time to pay attention to what we are eating and how much.
 Eat fruit and vegetables: Set a goal to fill half your plate with fruit and vegetables at every meal. Fruit and
vegetables are naturally low in saturated and trans-fat, and rich in dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals.
 Switch to wholegrains: Eating whole grain foods such as brown rice, wholemeal bread and rolled oats can
help reduce the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. They can also help with weight management
because they keep you feeling full longer / and reduce the need for snacking.

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed-like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5000
years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibres, unlike a piece of material. The fibres used in paper,
however, are plant fibres, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fibre, dyes and
additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colours; resin may add weight and
texture.
Where do these fibres come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fibre that comes from trees.
Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may also be made from things like old
rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper.
This recycling process saves forest energy and reduces air and water pollution.

TEENAGERS AND SMARTPHONES
Everyone knows that smartphones are very useful and, today, most of my friends at school have one in their
hands at the time. Watch a group of teenagers, and you will find that instead of talking to each other, most of
us are texting on our smartphones. Teenagers are always texting, and all this messaging can give us Teen
Texting Tendonitis (TTT) which makes the hands, pack and neck hurt.
Having a smartphone makes teenagers want to spend all day talking or texting, instead of doing things that
we are supposed to do, such as our homework. Teens who spend too much of their time with their phones
are always tired; they also start having other problems. In some cases, they may have headaches. This
happens because most teens keep their smartphones near them while sleeping, so that they can answer texts
and calls. They often feel they have to be available around the clock.
Using texting all the time as a way of communication can also make US teens worry a lot. Answering all my
friends' texts can make me happy, because it makes me feel popular. However, if any of my friends take a
long time to send back a text, then I can feel very sad.
Question 31. If you see some teenagers together, what will they probably be doing?
A. They will be shaking hands.
B. They will be holding hands
C. They will be texting on their smartphones.
D. They will be talking to their parents on their phones

TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY
One of the most difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of funds. During
summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the money they make
is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away. For example, travelling to Australia from
Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of students wanting to travel, it can
seem out of reach.
For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they are in luck.
Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-known for offering them.
When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to get to
either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits where he
can earn some money.
Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in the
countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience than most people are unlikely to have, such as being
a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn't discourage you, though, because there is
always something to be found if you search hard enough.
There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If you have the
courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and seethe world, it might be just the ticket you
were looking for.
Question 31. Young people face the problem of ______ when they want to travel.
A. documents B. the lack of funds

I spent an enjoyable day in the countryside about a few months ago. This place was not very far from where
I lived and it was easy to get there. It was a very beautiful place. There was a flowing river with clear water
that made it more beautiful. I could see some cows roaming the field and eating grass. My brother and sister
also went with me that day. With the sun shining and a blue sky over our heads, the day was perfect for
enjoying the countryside. After arriving there, we relaxed and enjoyed the natural view around us first. Then
we rented a boat and rode it into the river to do some fishing, and luckily, we caught some big fish. Finally,
we decided to go for a walk in a beautiful small forest where we discovered a lot of birds and animals. We
tried to count how many different kinds of birds and animals there were, but we failed because there were so
many.
I really enjoyed our day out because it brought me close to a very peaceful and natural environment, away
from the busy and noisy city life.

correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Tourism will always have an impact on the places visited. Sometimes the impact is good, but often it is
negative. For example, if lots of people visit one place, then this can damage the environment. The question
is - how can we minimise the problems without preventing people from travelling and visiting places? The
main aim of ecotourism is to reduce the negative impact that tourism has on the environment and local
people. The idea is to encourage tourists to think about what they do when they visit a place.
It's great to talk about protecting the environment, but how do you actually do this? There are a number of
key points. Tourists shouldn't drop litter, they should stay on the paths, they shouldn't interfere with wildlife
and they should respect local customs and traditions.
Some people see ecotourism as a contradiction. They say that any tourism needs infrastructure - roads,
airports and hotels. The more tourists that visit a place, the more of these are needed and, by building more
of these, you can't avoid damaging the environment.

Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it is thought that music can help them learn
other subjects better. Research has shown that it can improve children's performance in certain subjects.
Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own language better. It could

example, it can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your own pieces of music. One of

Most people would say they know what stress is, but for scientists who study stress, it has been surprisingly
hard to define. This is because there are so many ways of looking at stress. Some researchers have studied
how our bodies react to stress. You know how your heart beats faster, you perspire more heavily, and your
words do not come out right when you are placed in a stressful situation. But knowing how we feel when
experiencing stress does not explain it; nor does it tell us what causes it.
Other scientists have looked at stressors: events or situations that produce stress. A deadline, a poor test
performance, or bothersome noises all may be thought of as stressors. Even pleasant events can be stressors.
Planning a party or starting a new job can be just as stressful as being called to the principal's office. Stress,
then, can be caused by both negative and positive events, or stressors. Of course, whether an event is thought
of as positive or negative is, in some ways, a matter of personal choice.
In sum, it is the way people interpret an event that makes it stressful or not stressful. This process of
interpretation is called appraisal. Depending on how people appraise, or judge, circumstances, they may or
may not consider them stressful.

Most people think that housework is boring and is the responsibility of wives and mothers only. Many
parents don't ask their children to do housework so that they have more time to play or study. However,
studies show doing chores is good for children.
Kids who do housework develop important life skills that they will need for the rest of their lives. Doing the
laundry, cleaning the house, and taking care of others are among the important skills that children will need
when they start their own families. These are the things that schools cannot fully teach, so its important for
children to learn them at home. Sharing housework also helps young people learn to take responsibility.

chores also helps develop children's gratitude to their parents. When doing housework, they learn to
appreciate all the hard work their parents do around the house for them. In addition, doing chores together
helps strengthen family bonds, creating special moments between children and parents. It makes children
feel they are members of a team.
All in all, doing housework can bring a lot of benefits to children. It teaches them life skills and helps build
their character. Therefore, parents should encourage their kids to share the housework for their own good as
well as the good of the whole family.

Have you ever felt a sudden feeling of joy because you heard a favourite song playing? Then you know that
music can have a strong effect on your emotions. Try to take ỉ advantage of this power of music. It can help
get you out of a bad mood or stay in a good s mood, says Alicia Ann Clair, professor of music therapy at the
University of Kansas. Music can also help you relax.
To cheer up or boost your energy, listen to Latin music or anything with a strong beat, lots of percussion,
and a fast tempo. When you want to relax after a busy day, music with string instruments and woodwinds,
less percussion, and a slower tempo can calm you.
Listen to calming music before you start any stressful activities, advises Dr. Clair. "Once you're in a good
state of mind, it's easier to maintain it." You can lower stress at work with music, too, by playing relaxing
tunes. But only play them when you really need them. You can change your mood by switching from one
kind of music to another. For example, first play some nice gentle ballads, and then listen to something more
energetic. When you want to calm down after a busy week at work, just do the opposite.

reason for this is that most people fail Í to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial,
time-consuming matters and never complete the important ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These
lists order jobs from most essential to least essential and are checked regularly throughout the day to assess
progress. Not only is this an effective way to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much-
