PHẦN VIII
Read the following passage and mark letter A,B,Cor D to indicate the correct
anwer to each of the questions that follow.
CÂU 1. People commonly complain that they never have enough time to
accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes seem to slip away before many planned
chores get done. According to time management experts, the main reason for this is that
most people fail 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 through the day to access progress. Not only is this an effective way
to manage time, but it also serves to give individuals a much-deserved sense of
satisfaction over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of
19

the work day with uncertainty over the significance of their accomplishments, which
over time can contribute to serious problems in mental and physical health.
1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Learning to Manage Time
C. Achieving Job Satisfaction
B. Accomplishing Trivial Matters
D. Common Complaints About Work
2. Why do many people never seem to have enough time to accomplish things?
A. They do not prioritise tasks.
B. They get tied down by one difficult
problem.

management experts.

A. keep daily lists of priorities and check them regularly
B. accomplish time-consuming matters first

CÂU 2: British teenagers spend most of their time at school. Students in Britain can
leave school at sixteen (grade 11). This is also the age when most students take their
first important exams, the GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). Most

teens take between 5-10 subjects, which means a lot of studying. They are spending
more time on homework than teenagers ever before. Forget watching TV, teenagers in
Britain now spend 2-3 hours on homework after school.
School uniform
Visit almost any school in Britain and the first thing you’ll notice is the school
uniform. Although school uniform has its advantages, when they are 15 or 16, most
teenagers are tired of wearing it. When there is more than one school in a town, school
uniforms can highlight differences between schools. In London there are many cases of
bullying and fighting between pupils from different schools.

CÂU 3: Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American
Indians entered North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected
Alaska and Siberia. The migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at
all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots, and
berries could be gathered.
When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the
settlers how to plant corn, bake fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return, the
white introduced horses, guns, gunpowder, and alcohol. But at last, there were struggles
for land, and the struggles could have only one result – war. When the wars were over,
all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now, some of them,
embittered by mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to
modernize the reservations. These alternatives, with many variations, are what most

staying at home and not travelling. Many people cannot travel as more and more
countries are taking action to fight COVID-19. This action includes closing borders,
requiring people self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving in a country, and banning
flights from other countries. The head of the WTTC said the pandemic, "clearly
presents a significant threat to the industry as a whole, to those employed within it, and
those wishing to continue travelling".
The tourism industry makes up 10 per cent of the world’s GDP and jobs. It is one of
the industries hardest hit by the COVID-19 virus. Airlines, cruise ships and hotels have
suffered big losses. Korean Air has warned that the coronavirus could threaten its
survival. Australia’s Qantas has reduced its international flights by nearly 25 per cent
