V. Read the passage. Circle A, B or C to answer each question.
More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs in the
evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring teenagers great
advantages.
One of the benefits of the work is the students can learn the skills that will be
useful for the rest of their lives. When they work, they have to manage both the job
and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be very organized and able to keep
a sensible schedule. They also learn to cope with the job stress apart from the stress
of the schoolwork. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and
police work. These skills help prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school
students who work are more likely to succeed as adults than people who enter the
job market at a later age with no work experience.
Teenagers want a lot of expensive things: clothes, mp3 players, trips with their
friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even if they can, the teens might
not really appreciate that money because they did not earn it. When teenagers make
money for themselves, they know its true and are less likely to spend it foolishly.
Question 25. Which of the following is a good title for the passage?
A. Why teenagers should work
B. Advantages and disadvantages of part-time jobs
3


C. Part-time jobs cause stress
Question 26. According to the passage, what is NOT an effect of part-time jobs?

A. Teenagers become organized.
B. Teenagers become stressed.
C. Teenagers are more likely to have successful careers.
Question 27. The word “cope with” in the passage is closest in meaning to
______.
A. fight against
B. deal with
C. suffer from
Question 28. According to the passage, when teenagers have jobs, they are more
likely to _______.
A. spend foolishly
B. want expensive things
C. appreciate money
Question 29. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Only some US students do part-time jobs.
B. US students suffer part-time job stress.
C. Part-time jobs are somehow good for teenagers.
VI. Read the following passage. Match the paragraphs with the headings.
TEENS’ SOURCES OF STRESS
Question 30. In adolescence, teens experience so many physical and psychological
changes that they may not know how to deal with. Many boys feel obsessed with
their voice or appearance. Girls feel annoyed with unwanted spots on their faces.

Question 31. As teens reach adolescence, they have more friends and come in
contact with many more people. They now have to learn to interact socially and

4


they may find it is not easy to adjust in the complicated world or to gain social

acceptance. ______
Question 32. Many teenagers start to have emotional feelings for another boy or
girl, or feel the need to be loved. If a teen fails to get love from the one he/she likes
or loves, they may find it is hard to get over the painful experience. ______
Question 33. Pressures to do well academically can be a source of stress. If teens
are academically strong, they can perform well. If not, they suffer from endless
stress. ______
Question 34. Being under pressures of a number of things, teenagers become
constantly anxious. If they are unlucky to fail in anything, they may fall into the

V. Read the text and decide if the following statements are True (T) or False

Hoi An, once known as Faifo, with more than 2,000 years history, was the principal
port of the Cham Kingdom. While the serious shipping business has long been
moved to Da Nang, the heart of the city is still the Old Town, full of winding lanes
and Chinese-styled shop-houses. Although almost all shops now cater to the tourist
trade, the architecture has been largely preserved, which is unusual in Vietnam, and
renovation has proceeded slowly and carefully.
However, the culture & heritage that this UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS)
was trying to preserve has faded away. Since 1999, when UNESCO WHS status
was awarded, there has been a massive increase in tourism - with the result that
most houses have been sold by the community to speculators and shop owners to
be used for commercial purposes. The former community, and with it their culture
and heritage, has gone and in their place are endless indistinguishable shops,
restaurants, art galleries, etc. There are literally hundreds of tailor shops in Hoi An.

Question 31. Hoi An used to be a trading port.
Question 32. Da Nang has replaced Hoi An as a hub for shipping business
Question 33. There are more than 100 tailor shops in Hoi An
Question 34. The UNESCO World Heritage Site refers to Hoi An
Question 35. The culture and heritage of Hoi An has been largely preserved
VI. Read the text and choose the best answer.
ROOTED IN THE PAST
Good manners are a treasure to the people who possess them, as well as to the
community they live in. Manners are taught, learnt, and passed from generation to
14


generation. Even hundreds of years ago, children were taught to behave
responsibly. They learnt to respect seniority. When they passed an object to another
person, they had to use both hands. When they entered a room, they had to bow
and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their families.
Girls learnt to do housework, and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty were
highly appreciated. When they made a mistake, they would not let another person
be punished for it. That would be cowardly and mean. They were taught that
families were strong, and everybody should stick together in adversity. Fortunately,
many of these values have been well preserved. They have contributed to making
the unique Vietnamese culture, and strengthening our society.
