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.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount ofcholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They citescientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact. there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietaryfat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheetto indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza, amonument of wisdom and prophecy, was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 BC. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen-acre structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. lnside are a number of hidden passage ways and the burial chamber for the pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west - an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events - past, present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations. Many believe that pyramids have super natural powers, and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of the ancient past.
Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?

Bài 153:
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer to each of the questions .
Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, language. It was created more than a century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.
In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce. This did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain.
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in o, as in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means “pretty”. Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means “enemy”, and the word malbela therefore means “ugly” in Zamenhof’s language.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name, Dr. Esperanto, when signing the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a person who hopes” in his language. Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe, and by 1950, Esperanto had spread from Europe toAmerica andAsia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place inFrance, with approximately700 attendees from 20 different countries. Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I. Today, years after it was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it. This may seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today’s world. Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen.

Bài 154:
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer to each of the questions .
Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for “high water in a harbor.” These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity.
Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters.
Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japanand Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japanoften occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japanoften come with little warning and can, therefore, prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaiigenerally have time for warning of their imminent arrival.
Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japanand Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel.

The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses ________ .

According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that ________ .

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.
MARRIED IN A KIMONO, HAPPY IN SWITZERLAND
We interviewed Mayumi, a 36-year-old Japanese woman who has lived in the Swiss town of Bevaix for two years with her husband, an Englishman, whom she meton the banks of Lake Neuchatel in Switzerland.
“In Japan, to answer someone with a ‘no’ is very impolite. We almost never say it!”said Mayumi. She is thinking back to how she kept this custom even upon her arrival in Switzerland. “The Japanese manage not to ask directly in order not to embarrass the person they are speaking with. But here, people ask very directly, ‘Do you want a glass of wine? ‘Would you like some coffee?’ Well. I always felt I had to say ‘yes'.
Mayumi first set herself up in the city of Monteux, the spectacular resort town on the banks of Lake Geneva. She wanted to finish her education as a tour guide, and she thought that she would be able to communicate with Swiss people in English. “But here, relatively few people speak English!" she told us. However, she was able to find someone who indeed spoke English very well - her future husband, who was an Englishman.
The couple has been married for two years. They live in an extremely modern house in Bevaix, where Mayumi spends most of her time. She has become a mother,and she interrupted her studies to have her second child, a little girl whose name translated as “purity”. Naming a child isn’t taken lightly in Japan. and Mayumi hadher mother consult a specialist to make sure her choice of name was a good one.Mayumi’s roots are in the city of lzumo, west of Osaka. Her brother and her parentsstill live in the same place, under the same roof.
ln Japan, tradition says that the eldest son and his wife should come to live in his parents’ house with his parents. Mayumi certainly could have been married back inJapan. She refused three proposals of marriage there.
Her mother, on the other hand, was married before she was 20. According to the institution of arranged marriages, she knew from when she was a little girl that her parents, Mayumi’s grandparents, would choose a husband for her. Mayumi is bothmodern and traditional. She raises her children to have Japanese manners. Her son,at 20 months of age. modestly bow his head with his hands folded before every meal.Mayumi told us, “It is a way of showing respect for the family that provided the food.The elder members of the family sit at the top of the Japanese family. In Japan,people who work hard to support the family are shown respect.” Mayumi can remember her brother coming home from work each night at 10:00 p.m. “We have very few vacation days, and it‘s very rare to have a week off." says Mayumi. When her brother attended her wedding in Switzerland, he had to leave the very next day. On her wedding day, she dressed up in a kimono of beautiful Japanese fabric. Mayumi doesn‘t think about going back to live in Japan. “I prefer to raise my children here. In Japan, education is so competitive and severe. Furthermore, my husband would never want to live there - there would be too many new rules to learn!”However, Mayumi holds things associated with Japan close to her heart. During herteen years. she studied calligraphy (the art of writing), the tea ceremony, as well asl the Japanese version of flower arranging. She is also an expert cook, and she shows off her Japanese dishes to her Swiss friends who are eager to learn from her.
