Dear Mom,
This is just a quick note to tell you how the holiday is going.
We’re staying in a nice hotel in a quiet part of town, so you can imagine how we feel. As you know, this is a small city, and the people are very kind and friendly. We have had some good weather since we got here, so we are feeling very happy. We have seen some of the beautiful sights and a few museums, and we thought they were very impressive. Yesterday we decided to go for a swim, and we went to a nice beach where the water was blue and clean. Last night, we had a delicious meal in a wonderful restaurant. The food and services were excellent. When the bill came, we could hardly believe it, as it was so cheap. As our hobbies are sightseeing and swimming, we enjoyed the holiday so much.
Anyway, I’d better stop, but I’ll write again soon.
Love,
Mary & John

he search for alternative resources of energy has resulted in various directions. Many communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Changing waste products into gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of waste. Experimental work is being done to make synthetic fuels from coal, or coal tars. But to date, that process has proved expensive. Other experiments are underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being tested.
Some experts are trying to revive hydroelectric power which is derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four per cent. The oceans are another source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to change the energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves into electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

or thousands of years, the ancient art form of Feng Shui has played a major role in Chinese life. Feng Shui means ‘wind and water’ and it is based on an appreciation of the relationship between people and the environment. It involves changing the design of your living or working space to improve your fortune For instance, soon after a Hong Kong millionaire moved his business to a new skyscraper, his business began to do very badly. He immediately called in Feng Shui experts. They told him that because his new office block was round, it was like a huge cigarette, and all the energy was burning off through the roof. They said that the only thing he could do to prevent this loss of energy was to build a swimming pool on the roof. The millionaire followed their advice, and his business immediately started to do well.
In recent years, Feng Shui has become popular in many western countries, where companies such as B&Q have started to seek advice from Feng Shui experts. Before his store was opened, Brian Ingliss, the manager of one of B & Q's stores in Britain, consulted a Feng Shui expert. The expert advised him to create a lot of free space around the store. Brian followed the advice, and within a year, the store was the most successful B&Q store in the country.
1. What kind of relationship does Feng Shui concern? ______________________________________________________
2. According to Feng Shui, what's wrong with a round building? ______________________________________________________

pon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of change. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn't require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while skilled jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime.
1: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of change because ______.
A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far
B. the government of the United States want to drive social changes in their own ways
C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce
D. any American citizen who wants to change his driving licence must be very well-educated
2: The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US _______ between the 1950s and now.

A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have often been well-exposed to light
C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go
4: In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author's point of view, any individual must _______.
A. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life

V. Read, then do the alternation below:
Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with them or that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people give out body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive. Holding your head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident. All this affects the way you feel about someone.
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child. Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening.

B. Factors that may influence one's feelings about a stranger.
C. How people usually behave to a stranger.

ir pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other sources create so much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution threatens the health of the people who live in cities. City wastes cause water pollution when they are poured into the waterways. These wastes kill fish and make some areas unfit for swimming. In addition, many large cities have difficulties in disposing of their garbage. The amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are quickly filling up. Citizens, governments, industries, scientists, and business people must work together in different ways to gradually reduce pollution. For example, most cities have introduced recycling programmes.
•1. Motor vehicles and factories are among some sources of air pollution.
•2. Air pollution doesn't endanger people's health in some cities.
•3. Air pollution is the only problem of the environment mentioned in this passage.
•4. Garbage disposal is a problem in many large cities.
•5. Everyone must cooperate to reduce pollution.
•6. We can reduce pollution by recycling programmes only.

Mozart, who was born on January 27, 1756 in the Austrian city of Salzburg, was neither the first nor the last child prodigy, but he was certainly the greatest. He was born into a moderately prosperous family where his unmatched musical genius made itself known extremely early. Mozart began learning to play the harpsichord at three and his earliest known work was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age at which he also first appeared in public. From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign tour, Mozart toured the courts and musical centers of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart spent almost a third of his short life - he died at the age of 35 - traveling. As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts. Mozart also wrote a lot of operas. His first opera, Mitridate, Re di Ponto, was performed in Milan when he was 14, and it was the first of many successes in the theatre.

TELEVISION
Here in Egypt, television has a powerful hold over people's minds. It is an instrument of leisure, of information and - to a very limited extent - of culture. It does not stop people reading newspapers or books, going to the cinema or theatre or watching videos. But these activities are occasional, irregular and ultimately of secondary importance. Television is one of the main subjects of conversation, at school, in offices, at home and in the street, as well as being written about in all the newspapers. It might be said that the main objective of television is to persuade the maximum number of people to watch it for the maximum amount of time. And how effectively the sitcoms and soap operas do that! I do not think that I have ever seen any other country so totally dominated by these shows. Some of them are Egyptian productions
but the majority is American. Each episode, each programme, is a talking point for everyone, young and old alike.
Câu 36: Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. Television, an instrument of leisure.
B. Television, the rest of the media and American soaps.
C. Television, the main subjects of conversation.
D. Television and its use.
Câu 37: What does television have over people's mind?
A. A picture. B. An influence. C. An impression. D. A limit.
Câu 38: At school or in offices, television is considered as a topic _____.
A. for people to talk about B. for learning
C. for discussion D. for entertainment
Câu 39: What might the main objective of television be?
A. To waste time. B. To get people away from their free time.
C. To allow much time for many people to watch it. D. To get people away from their work.

ir pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Motor vehicles, factories and other sources create so much air pollution that it may hang in the air like dirty fog. Air pollution threatens the health of the people who live in cities. City wastes cause water pollution when they are poured into the waterways. These wastes kill fish and make some areas unfit for swimming. In addition, many large cities have difficulties in disposing of their garbage. The amount of garbage grows each year, but places to put it are quickly filling up. Citizens, governments, industries, scientists, and business people must work together in different ways to gradually reduce pollution. For example, most cities have introduced recycling programmes.
•46. Motor vehicles and factories are among some sources of air pollution.
•47. Air pollution doesn't endanger people's health in some cities.
•48. Air pollution is the only problem of the environment mentioned in this passage.

Every child in Britain must by-law receive full time education from the age of five to sixteen. Many parents send their children to state school where the tuition and the equipment, including textbooks and exercise books are free. Only about five percent of children go to private fee-paying school; first, preparatory school for children up to thirteen, and then public schools-very expensive secondary schools such as Harrow, Rugby and Winchester.
Some children, before going to school, go to kindergartens, offically called nursery schools. Boys and girls are educated together there. There are also some single-schools, particularly among independent (non-state) ones.
Under the old system children attended primary school (from five to eleven), which was follwed by a secondary school course (from eleven to fifteen or over). At eleven, every child had to sit for the eleven-plus examination. It consisted of tests in English, arithmetic and intelligence-test. Those with the highest marks (about twenty percent of the children) went to grammar school. The others went to technical school.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man because his dynamite business had helped him earn much money. But he was very upset that many countries used dynamite during the wars to kill people, animals and to destroy buildings, villages and cities. He wanted to think of the best way for people to use his fortune of nine million dollars after his death, so in 1895 Alfred Nobel wrote his Last Will and Testament. In his will, he instructed people to use all his money for an annual award to honour leaders of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. He stated that these leaders could be men or women of any nationality.
Alfred Nobel died on December 10th, 1896 at the age of sixty-three. He was unmarried, and had no children. People all over the world were amazed when they read the newspapers about Alfred Nobel’s plan. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901, and they very soon became the greatest honour that a person could receive. And Alfred Nobel is now remembered as he wanted to be: Man of Peace.

Every child in Britain must by-law receive full time education from the age of five to sixteen. Many parents send their children to state school where the tuition and the equipment, including textbooks and exercise books are free. Only about five percent of children go to private fee-paying school; first, preparatory school for children up to thirteen, and then public schools-very expensive secondary schools such as Harrow, Rugby and Winchester.
Some children, before going to school, go to kindergartens, offically called nursery schools. Boys and girls are educated together there. There are also some single-schools, particularly among independent (non-state) ones.
Under the old system children attended primary school (from five to eleven), which was follwed by a secondary school course (from eleven to fifteen or over). At eleven, every child had to sit for the eleven-plus examination. It consisted of tests in English, arithmetic and intelligence-test. Those with the highest marks (about twenty percent of the children) went to grammar school. The others went to technical school.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man because his dynamite business had helped him earn much money. But he was very upset that many countries used dynamite during the wars to kill people, animals and to destroy buildings, villages and cities. He wanted to think of the best way for people to use his fortune of nine million dollars after his death, so in 1895 Alfred Nobel wrote his Last Will and Testament. In his will, he instructed people to use all his money for an annual award to honour leaders of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. He stated that these leaders could be men or women of any nationality.
Alfred Nobel died on December 10th, 1896 at the age of sixty-three. He was unmarried, and had no children. People all over the world were amazed when they read the newspapers about Alfred Nobel’s plan. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901, and they very soon became the greatest honour that a person could receive. And Alfred Nobel is now remembered as he wanted to be: Man of Peace.
