For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf
people were not able to use a spoken language. But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special
language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a
language without sound. It was a sign language. How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make
certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might
move their forefingers across their lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins with
three fingers. This meant “my uncle.” The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to
make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a
speed of 130 words per minute. Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today,
the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.

B. Because it is difficult to use a finger alphabet.
C. Because the speed of 130 words per minute is too difficult for most deaf people.

We all want the best for our children: the best clothes and toys, the best schools, the best friends, the best

Toast is less flattening than bread. Toast has all the same calories as bread. Many diet plans call for a slice
of dry toast with a meal. This slice of toast has the same 60 to 70 calories that a slice of bread has. Toasting
removes only moisture. So if you are watching calories, eat your bread plain or toasted as you like it. Just don't add
butter and jam. COFFEE or a cold shower can sober up a drunk. In fact these and other activities don't. A cold
shower is useless. A full meal does no good. Food can slow down the speed that alcohol goes into the blood, but
only if you eat and drink at the same time. Coffee can make a tipsy person seem more alert because of the caffeine,
but the strongest coffee will not return his reflexes or sense of judgment. Two cups of coffee don't change a drinker
into a safe driver. Drunkenness is caused by a lot of alcohol in the blood. You can do a little or nothing to make a
Trang 4/44
person less drunk. So if you have a drunk that you want to sober up, drive him home and tell him to sleep for eight
hours.

In 776 B.C. the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greeks' chief
god, Zeus. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in

and the winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus. The Greeks greatly honored their winners by
placing olive wreaths placed on the winners' heads and sang poems about their victories. Originally, Greeks
considered the Olympic Games as games of friendship. Any wars which were happening were stopped to allow the

IS WINNING EVERYTHING? Ask kids and the answer is probably "No". Ask the adults and the answer
is probably "Yes". And it is adults who control sports for young people - with terrible results for many kids.
Twenty millions of children between the ages of eight and sixteen play organized sports outside of school. Their
experiences are sometimes very bad. Why? Because of the adults, often their parents, who watch the games.
Children's sports are organized like professional sports Children play baseball and football. They wear all the
equipment that professional athletes wear. They have uniforms and umpires and referees and leagues. They have
games. And many people come to watch their games, especially the families of the players. Because the children's
games are like adults, professional games, their parents want adult professional competition. When a child drops a
ball, his father becomes angry. When a child doesn't run fast, his mother might shout, "Run faster! Run faster!"

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to
increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and stronger heart. But increasing your
strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet,
it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s
important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t used to
working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask his/her
advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good,
you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and
there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise
is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest, at least two or
three times a week.
46. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling___.
A. once a week B. at least two or three times a month
C. at least two or three times a week D. every day
47. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because___.
A. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart
B. it is a sign of exercise having the right effect C. it shows that you should stop and take a rest
D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem

A. it helps them to relieve their backache B. it helps to make their backs become stronger
C. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet
D. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet

Can you imagine a world without words? The main way that we communicate with each other is by using
words. We can communicate either by speaking and listening or by writing and reading. With words, we can give
and receive information, ideas, orders and instructions.
People have used writing to communicate for about 7000 years. At first, they used to draw simple pictures
to represent objects, such as people and animals. Then people started to put pictures together to represent
something more difficult, like a sentence. The next step in the development of writing was to use symbols, or
signs. These symbols represented the sounds of words and not their meanings.
Finally, the alphabet from which modern English comes was invented in about 1500 BC. The people who
invented the alphabet used a set of symbols to represent the sound “o”. This symbol is still used to the same sound
today. Many languages are written with letters of an alphabet, including Vietnamese.
46. The first kind of writing used simple ____.
A. pictures B. people C. objects D. animals

I. Read the following passage adapted from Pre-Essence Reading 1 by Rachel Lee, and mark the letter A, B, C,
or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are
saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate with
each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean
different things in different countries. If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head
to say no and shake it to say yes - the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or
snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in your
pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes to
others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left hands
when going to the bathroom.
In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in
India, whistling in public is considered rude. In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp
at the end of a meal to show that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle)
means ‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in
the Middle East, it is a rude gesture.
01. It is mentioned in the passage that many gestures ______.
A. can be used to greet each other in public B. may mean different things in different countries
C. are not used to communicate our feelings D. are used in greeting among men and women
02. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In Belgium, snapping your fingers at someone is very rude
B. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping

Can you imagine a world without words? The main way that we communicate with each other is by using
words. We can communicate either by speaking and listening or by writing and reading. With words, we can give
and receive information, ideas, orders and instructions.
People have used writing to communicate for about 7000 years. At first, they used to draw simple pictures
to represent objects, such as people and animals. Then people started to put pictures together to represent
something more difficult, like a sentence. The next step in the development of writing was to use symbols, or
signs. These symbols represented the sounds of words and not their meanings.
Finally, the alphabet from which modern English comes was invented in about 1500 BC. The people who
invented the alphabet used a set of symbols to represent the sound “o”. This symbol is still used to the same sound
today. Many languages are written with letters of an alphabet, including Vietnamese.

Is your life full of stress? Maybe it is your astrological sign. A study in Australia last year said signs with
the most stress are Aquarius (Jan 20 to Feb 18), Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Virgo (Aug 23 to Sept 22) and Cancer
(June 21 to July 22). The people who have peaceful lives are under the signs of Pisces (Feb 21 to March 20) ,
Scorpio (Oct 23 to Nov 22, and Taurus (April 21 to May 20). Kathleen Johnson, a Vermont astrologer, decided to
continue the work. She now has a stress chart that decides which marriages and friendships will be most
harmonious and which will be most stressed. Johnson says that any sign together with Pisces or Scorpio will
probably have an easy and peaceful time. But signs that are put together with Aquarius would always be stressed.
And marriage of Aquarius to Aquarius has no possibility of success. Says Johnson, "We should all work together.
If I know something as an astrologer that would help you as a doctor or psychotherapist, why not?".

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look
nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel (men răng) covering of the tooth.
This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth.
Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we
ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can
examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
at least twice a day-once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean
between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese,
fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad,
especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
46. Good teeth help us to ____.

A. black B. decay C. painful D. crack

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language
barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and
ideas. Tourists, the deaf and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of the
whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body
language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a
way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies (biểu thị) approval, while shaking the
head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of
raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags. Morse code (mã Mooc-xơ), and smoke signals. Road maps and
picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language,
other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
