century. But what is time ? No one can say exactly what it is. It is one of the greatest mysteries of our lives.
2


We don’t know exactly what time is, but our ability to measure it is very important. It makes our way of
life possible. All the members of a group have to measure time in the same way.
Time lets us put things in a definite order. We know that breakfast comes before lunch. The reading class
is after the writing class. Children can’t play until school is over. Time enables us to organize our lives.
The earliest people saw changes around them. They saw day and night, the changes of the moon, and the
seasons. They started measuring their lives by these changes.
Then people started inventing clocks. The Chinese invented a water clock in the eleventh century, but the
Egyptians had them long before that. As water dripped from one container to another, it measured the
passing time.

approximately eight hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand
dollars, one-tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand
ships pass through its locks each year.

WATER
Water is necessary for sustaining life in plants and animals. Men have always been interested in the nature
11

of water. At one time, water was considered an element. Most water is derived from ocean directly or
indirectly. Water which New Yorkers use does not come from Hudson River. Water used in New York
homes comes from large reservoirs. Water in these reservoirs is purified. However, absolutely pure water is
probably unknown. Lake water is relatively pure, especially in the mountainous regions. Most people think
spring water is pure. However, water which comes from spring sometimes contains large amounts of two
types of salt. Therefore, water in your springs should be analyzed.

beings have been writing ( as far as we can tell from surviving evidence ) for at least 5,000 years, but they
have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings.
When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even
today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before
we learn to write: any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to
talk; a normal human being can not be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort
to learn to write: in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and
even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who
learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly.
To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to say that the latter is of little
importance. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and make possible the

records that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human writing makes us civilized.
***Questions :
1. What is more real than speech ?
It has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech
2. How long have human beings had speech ?
5,000 years, but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human
beings.

3. Do all spoken languages in the world have their written forms ?
No, they don’t Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form
4. Can a normal human being learn to write without trying ?
No,he can not , because it takes a special effort to learn to write

One year Miss Wyatt decided to have a holiday in Italy. She did not speak much Italian, but wherever she
went, she was fortune enough to find people who knew enough English to be able to understand what she
wanted, until one day she decided to have lunch in a charming little restaurant in a village in the south of
Italy.
She had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another village nearby and thought they would taste
very good, so when the waiter came to take her order, she inquired whether she could have some
mushrooms for her meal, but she had great difficulty in explaining to him because she did not know the
Italian word for mushrooms. At last she took out a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom. The waiter’s
face brightened at once, and he hastened out to the kitchen. A minute later he returned, carrying an
umbrella.

Once my uncle applied for a post in Camford University, It was a very good post and there were
hundreds of amplicants (candidale) who applied for it. The Dean and the committee interviewed all the
candidates and as a result of this interview only two succeded, my uncle and a Mr. Adams, a
self-confident young fellow. As the committee couldn’t decide which of the two to take,
each candidate was to give a lecture in the college lecture hall. My uncle worked day and night at the
lecture almost without eating or sleeping . Adams didn’t seem to do any preparation_. He ate like a
horse and slept like a log.

I.
Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other things

from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small. One day when Louis
was three years old, he was cutting some leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye. Louis
soon became completely blind.
When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the Blind in Paris. One day his class went
to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis. It
showed messages in code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no one else can read them. The captain
wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper.
Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so blind people could
“read”
with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis
used a “cell” of six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down.
There are 63 possible arrangements of the dots in the Braille system. Each arrangement stands for one
letter, punctuation mark, or number. He also used his system to write music. Louis Braille invented this
system when he was only fifteen years old.
Blind people can also write Braille. They use a special kind of pen to make the dots.
***Questions :
1. What was Louis Braille’s place of birth?
France
2. How did he become blind?
 One day when Louis was three years old, he was cutting some leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and
hit him in the eye
3. What gave him the idea for the Braille system?
 The code for sending message in a special exhibit by a captain in the army
4. How old was he when he invented the Braille system?
 He was only fifteen years old
5. Are there raised letters in the Braille system?
 No there are n’t only ( arrangements of) dots
II.
THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
Scientists say that something very serious is happening to the Earth. It will begin to get warmer in the

1990s. There will be major changes in climate during the next century. Coastal waters will have a higher
17


temperature. This will have a serious effect on agriculture. In northern areas, the growing season will be ten
days longer by the year 2000. However, in warmer areas, it will be too dry. The amount of water could
decrease by fifty percent. This would cause a large decrease in agricultural production.
World temperatures could increase two degrees centigrade by the year 2040. However, the increase
could be three times as great in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. This would cause the ice sheets to melt
and raise the level of the oceans by one or two metres. Many coastal cities would be under water.
Why is this happening ? There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the air. When oil, gas, and coal
burn, they create large amounts of carbon dioxide. We send five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere every year. This amount will double in fifty years. This carbon dioxide lets sunlights enter the
earth’s atmosphere and heat the earth. However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter
space. It is like a blanket. The heat can pass from the sun through the blanket to warm the earth. The heat
stays there and can not escape through the blanket again.
Scientists call this greenhouse effect. A greenhouse is a building for growing plants. It is made of glass or
clear plastic.
***QUESTIONS
1. What is a greenhouse ?
A greenhouse is a building for growing plants
2. What causes the greenhouse effect ?
There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the air
3. Why do scientists call this the greenhouse effect ?
 It is because the effect of CO2 on the earth atmostphere is like the effect of the green house.
4. What changes will this effect make in the earth’s climate ?
 It will get warmer and too dry
5. What would the temperature in the Arctic and Antarctic regions be in the year 2040 ?
 It will icrease six degrees

In 1847, Michael Moore, a poverty-stricken seventeen-year-old farm worker left Ireland for America.
what the future held in store for him, he did not know. However, he did know that it could not be
any worse than the past. He had grown up during the Great Famine in Ireland and had known what it
was to be very hungry. He had seen (witnessed:chứng kiến) his mother die of (from) typhus a month
before; his father had died a year after Michael was born. There was nothing now to keep him in
Ireland and so, in a bright June morning, he stepped on to a ship bound for America. In years to come
he would remember this moment.

I.
The controversy surrounding the relationships between and roles of men and women is, perhaps, one of the
features of the second half of the twentieth century in Western societies. In the United States of America,
for example, both sexes are, more or less aggressively, demanding freedom from the constraints of
traditional attitudes towards the roles of the sexes and marriage. The impact of this can be seen in the rising
divorce rate, falling birth rate and the increasing number of couples living together without a marriage
21


license.
It is perhaps interesting to speculate on the future roles of men and women. In developed countries, if
the advent of the silicon chip leads to mass unemployment and a revolutionized attitude towards work and
leisure, what will be the effect on, for example, women who at present express their equality with men
primarily through their work; if oil, coal and gas run out and alternative energy sources can not take up the
slack in domestic supplies, what effect will this have on the roles of men and women in domestic life ? In
developing societies, how will increasing exposure to Western society ( through the media and travel ) and
improved technology affect the role of women ? One can obviously guess at the answers, but what do you
think or hope will happen ?
Questions :
1. What is one of the features of the 20th century in the Western societies ?
The controversy surrounding the relationships between and roles of men and women

2. Are American men and women still happy with their traditional role in the family ?
Both sexes are, more or less aggressively, demanding freedom from the constraints of traditional
attitudes towards the roles of the sexes and marriage
3. How can women express their equality with men ?
Primarily through their work
4. How are developing countries exposed to Western societies ?
Through the media and travel
II.
In societies where people tend to live together in extended family groups, - consisting of grandparents,
great uncles and aunts, parents, aunts and uncles, children and cousins, for example - care of both young
and old is the natural function of the group. The State is only needed when the efficiency of the group
breaks down, because of illness or poverty, for example. In Britain, however, people tend to live in nuclear
family groups ( parents and children only ), with the result that the care of the old is a social problem and
the State needs to intervene. What is more, if the relationship between husband and wife breaks down, the
children are immediately at risk, and State intervention may be necessary for them too. Where parents do
care for their children, however, they usually take their responsibilities very seriously.
The British population is already one of the oldest in Europe, and it is slowly getting older. In 1990 the
median age in Britain was thirty-six but it will rise to forty-one by 2020. At the end of the 1990s the
22


number of pensioners will begin to rise rapidly, and the workforce will shrink. One result will be that by
2020 there will be twice as many people aged eighty-five or over as in 1990. A disproportionate number of
the old, incidentally, choose to retire to the south coast and East Anglia, creating regional imbalances.
Questions :
1. What is an extended family ?
 An extended family is consists of grandparents, great uncles and aunts, parents, aunts and uncles,
children and cousins
2. What is a nuclear family ?
 An nuclear family is consists parents and children only

3. Who takes care of the young and old in an extended family ?
The whole (đầy đủ) extended family
4. What is a possible consequence if the relationship between the husband and the wife breaks down
 The children are immediately at risk

During the teenage years, many people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike being
questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school. This is a normal development at
this age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent of
teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if
they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on
them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons or daughters about schoolwork and future plans but
should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some
young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to
watch for any signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

QUESTIONS :
1. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to ?
They often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school
2. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual ?
