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.
Most people think that lions only come from Africa. This understandable because in fact most lions do come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went back ten thousand years we would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. However now, unfortunately only a very small section of the lions’ former habitat remains.
Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost a hundred thousand years since the Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub- species. At one time the Asiatic lion was living as far west as Greece and they were found from there, but in a band that spreads eat through various countries of the Middle East, all the way to India. In museums now you can see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them. Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lion roaming free to thousand years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared from everywhere but in India.
The Gir sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion. There are now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary. However, despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what killed more than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people arc fearful that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there.
India’s lions are particularly vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The reason for this is interesting - it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a prince who took a particular interest in them. He was very wealthy, and he managed to protect them otherwise they would probably have died out completely.
When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They are very impressive animals and you would never guess that they had this vulnerability when you look at them.

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.
There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the reginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought, through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or weiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances, and when the entire community did notparticipate, a clear division was usually made between the "acting area” and the "auditorium." In addition. there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supematural beings and mimed the dcsired effect - success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun - as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.
Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view; tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of theroles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to thosedances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.

The United Nations
In one very long sentence, the introduction to the U.N. Charter expresses the ideals and the common aims of all the peoples whose govemments joined together to form the U.N.
“We the peoples of the U.N. determined to save succeeding generations form the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold suffering to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and of women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in large freedom, and for these ends, to practise tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ intemational machinery for the promotion of economic and social advancement of all peoples, have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.”
The name ‘United Nations’ is accredited to U.S. President Pranklin Roosevelt, and the first group of representatives of member states met and signed a declaration of common intent on New Year’s Day in 1942. Representatives of five powers worked together to draw up proposals, completed at Dumbarton Oaks in 1944. These proposals, modified after deliberation at the conference on International Organisation in San Francisco which began in April 1945, were finally agreed on and signed as the U.N. Charter by 50 countries on 26 June 1945. It was not until that autumn, however, after the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the U.S.S.R., the U.K. and the U.S. and by a majority of the other participants that the U.N. officially came into existence.
The essential functions of the U.N. are to maintain international peace and security, to develop friendly relations among nations, to cooperate internationally in solving international economic, social, cultural and human problems, promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and to be a centre for co-coordinating the actions of nations in attaining these common ends.
No country takes precedence over another in the U.N. Each member’s rights and obligations are the same. All must contribute to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, and members have pledged to refrain from the threat or use of force against other states. Though the U.N. has no right to intervene in any state’s internal affairs, it tries to ensure that non- inember states act according to its principles of international peace and security. UN members must offer every assistance in an approved UN action and in no way assist states against which the U.N. is taking preventive or enforcement action.

The Problem of Garbage
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? Well 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 govemment should tell people about the dangers of garbage pollution. Education is perhaps the most important factor for keeping our environment healthy for the future.
Câu hỏi số 1:
Which of these don’t we usually do with our garbage?

Poisonous gases are given off when we _______ .
Câu hỏi số 3:
Which of these can't be recycled?

What should we do when we go shopping?

Which is probably the most important way to protect the environment?

Dissociative Identity Disorder
Dissociative identity disorder is a psychological condition in which a person's identity dissociates, or fragments, thereby creating distinct independent identities within one individual. Each separate personality can be distinct from the other personalities in a number of ways, including: posture, manner of moving, tone and pitch of voice, gestures, facial expressions, and use of language. A person suffering from dissociative identity disorder may have a large number of independent personalities or perhaps only two or three.
Two stories of actual women suffering from dissociative identity disorder have been extensively recounted in books and films that are fimiliar to the public. One of them is the story of a woman with 22 seprarate personalities known as Eve. In the 1950s, a book by Corbett Thiapen and a motion picture starring Joanne Woodward, each of which was titled Three Faces of Eve, presented her story; the title referred to 3 faces. when the woman known as Eve actually experienced 22 different personalities, because only 3 of the personalities could exist at one time. Two decades later, Carolyn Sizemore, Eve's 22nd personality, wrote about her experiences in a book entitled I'm Eve. The second well-known story of a woman suffering from dissociative personality disorder is the story of Sybil, a woman whose 16 distinct personalities emerged over a period of 40 years. A book describing Sybil's experiences was written by Flora Rrela Schreiber MKi was published in 1973; a motion picture based on the book and starring Sally Field followed.
