Questions 53-58: Read the text about Forrest’s accidents. Choose the best answers.
The Food Pyramid serves a basic guide to make healthy food choices. If you take a
look at the guide you can easily see which food groups you should be eating. According to
the pyramid, most of your daily food should consist of breads, rice and cereals. Almost
equal to these, but not quite as much, should be vegetables and fruits. Therefore, you can
feel free to go ahead and eat lots of fruit and vegetables every day. Servings of meat, fish,
eggs and dairy foods, which include milk and cheese, should be much smaller. Sugar
should be the smallest portion of all. Of course, your daily nutritional needs will vary
according to your activity level and life style. You do not have to follow the Food
Pyramid, but it’s a good way to be sure you will get the healthiest benefits from your daily
food. If you keep a copy of the pyramid stuck to the door of your refrigerator, it will
remind you to plan your daily meals wisely every time you go into the kitchen.

Questions 59-63: Read the text about the Bradleys. Choose the correct answers.
Mã đ thi 9 – Trang 4/9


If you’re looking for a Dalmatian or a Fred Flintstone, a fog, or a teaspoon, you’re
sure to find it at the home of the Bradleys. The family, from Chicago, are all enthusiastic
collectors, from dad right down to little Rebecca.
Five-year-old Rebecca fell in love with Dalmatians after seeing the film 101

Dalmatians. She now has 284 Dalmatian items in her collection. Her mom Wendy said,
“Everything has Dalmatians on it: her schoolbooks, her clothes-even her toothbrush! She
has toy Dalmatians of all sizes, and she spends all her money on them.”
But she’s not the only collector in the Branley family. Older sister Louise has
collected souvenir teaspoons since she was eight. She has now collected 196. “Whenever
anyone goes anywhere, they bring her one back,” says Mrs. Branley. She too is an
enthusiastic collector. “I’m a Flintstones fan. I have 206 items in my collection. My
favourite is my talking Fred doll - he’s awesome!”
And that’s not all. Ten-year-old son Richard has a collection of 158 frog items. He
has been interested in frogs since he saw some in his grandfather’s garden a few years
ago. Like his sister’s Dalmatians, he has frogs on his clothes, his school bag, and his
bedroom wall.
Perhaps the collecting fever started with Mr. Bradley. He owns a model shop, and
he has a huge collection of model planes. Mrs. Bradley said, “I went into the room to
count them, but I gave up because there are so many of them!”
