Vil. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for the questiens.

Going to college or university in the United States is very expensive. A year at a
prominent four-year university can cost almost $50,000, and this does not include the

extra costs of housing, transportation, and other living expenses. There are, of course,

less expensive options at colleges that also offer an excellent education. Most four-year

colleges cost at least $10,000 per year, and many more are in the $20,000 to $30,000

range. For families in the United States, paying for the education of their children
has become a major expense. Many families begin saving money from the time their
children are born, and some states offer incentive plans for savings programs.
As expensive as the tuition is, it should be noted that this hardly covers all the
cost of providing an education. Buildings, equipment, and salary costs are increasingly
expensive,

from foundations, corporations, and industry, as well as from

local, state, or federal

In addition to family funds and savings, there are two main types of funding for
college: loans and grants. Loans are borrowed money that must be paid back, with
interest, although the interest rates for student loans are lower than for some other
types of loans. The early years of many workers’ careers are spent trying to pay back
student loans. Grants, including scholarships, are gifts of money that do not have to

be paid back, but students often must fulfill certain obligations, such as maintaining

a certain grade point average or demonstrating family need, in order ‘to qualify.
Scholarships are funds that .are earned .or-competed for, and they may be based on
the student’s

academic,

athletic, or. civic performance.

or on some

other condition

that has been met by the student or family. identifying and accessing these funds
can be confusing, and even disheartening, for families when they encounter the

application forms. Colleges, secondary schools, and other organizations have offices

to help students learn about funding resources.

Tuition is only the beginning of the financial investment required for a U.S.
education. Costs include educational fees - some are paid by everyone each term,
others are related to the courses being taken. Students must also pay for housing;
books;

other

materials;

meals;

Vi. Read the following passage and fill in each of the blanks with NO MORE THAN
THREE WORDS.

Becoming independent is an essential part of a child’s journey to adulthood. To
make this journey successful, children need freedom to try new things. But they still
need your guidance and support too.
Your love and support are essential for your child's self-esteern. Young people who
feel good about themselves often have more confidence to discover who they are and
what they want to do with their lives.
Try to tune into your child's feelings. It might help to remember
that your child could
be confused and upset by the physical, social and emotional changes of adolescence.
Your child needs your emotional guidance and stability during this time.
Clear family rules about behaviour, communication and socialising will help your
child understand where the limits are and what you expect. Rules will also help you
be consistent in how you treat your child. Once the rules are in place, apply them
consistently.


Your family rules are likely to change as your child develops. As children get more

mature, they can make a bigger contribution to the rules and the consequences for
breaking them. Involving your child in developing rules helps him to understand
the

principles behind them. Every family has different rules. You can talk with your child
about this and explain that his friends might have different rules, or a different number
of rules.
If you set the limits too strictly, your child might not have enough room to grow
and try new experiences. This period is a learning curve for both of you. Be prepared
for some trial and error.
Younger teenagers might think they're ready to make their own decisions, but they
often haven't developed the decision-making skills they need to handle significant
responsibility without your help. It can be a good idea to explain to your younger child
why younger and older children are given different responsibilities,

Global warming refers to the rise in average temperature on Earth due to increasing
a huge amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the biggest
contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.
Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels like oil and coal causes greenhouse
gases such as carbon dioxide to escape into the air and act like a warm blanket over
the earth.
There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level
is rising and some animals are moving to new homes because their natural habitat is
disappearing.
if the warming gets worse, as scientists predict, there may be some kinds of plants
and animals that become extinct. Heat waves and droughts will increase, leading to
wildfires, and some areas may become too dry for farming.


Warmer ocean temperatures lead to more big storms which damage homes and

Human beings contribute to global warming by burning fossil fuels when they drive
a Car, fly in an airplane, heat or cool their houses and cut down trees to clear land.

One way to reduce greenhouse gases is to reduce deforestation, the cutting down
of trees. Trees soak up carbon dioxide from the air, so having lots of trees around is
good for the atmosphere. We can also plant more trees,
The best way to help slow down global warming is to put less carbon into the

Tran Ngoc Hoe, a man

(25)

mobility impairments in Truong Yen

commune, Hoa Lu district, was the first person to popularise the art form in Ninh Binh.
After attending a two-month training course { a3eh
quilling artworks in Ha Noi

in 2016, Hoe established a group named Binh An to provide vocational training and
create jobs for people with disabilities in Ninh Binh.
At first, Binh An group introduced their first products

the public,

which were an assortment of postcards, earrings and greeting cards featuring various

topics of nature, Ninh Binh’s landscapes and people.

According to Hoe, it (22)

about two or three days to complete a simple

quilling artwork while a larger and
detailed ones requires more than

one week. As Hoe’s paintings use made-in-Japan papers, they are durable enough to
preserve and display for a long time.
Hoe said that it is not too difficult to make quilling artworks, but great patience is
needed as strips of paper must be rolled and shaped evenly and meticulously to avoid
wrinkled.
:


The more he got involved (32)
the job, the more interest he has found
in it. With their creativity, Binh An group's members bring soul to thin straps of paper,
turning them
(23)
lively pictures and products.
However, despite of their affordable (34)
, the groups’ products still face
difficulties in entering the market. The group members have searched for references
from the internet in an effort to diversify their products and meet the increasing
demand of customers.
As it is difficult for people with disabilities to afford independent living and they
have to depend on their families, it is a meaningful and valuable act of Hoe and his
Binh An group to create jobs for these underprivileged people, which has not only
encouraged them to overcome the difficulties &
has also fuelled their
hope in life.

correct answer to each of the questions.

Thousands of books have been written on the conflict between parents and
teenagers. Psychologists and sociologists have spent years trying to understand the
reasons for the tension and endless arguments between these two groups.
A close look at these arguments often reveals that the reasons are so trivial that
we may wonder what the tears and shouts have all been about. Most arguments
are not about major issues like the nuclear bomb or the ecological problems of the
universe. The fights are usually about simple matters such as food, clothes, the weekly
allowance or the telephone.
Let's take an ordinary day and examine what happens. Problems start around 7
a.m. It is then that parents expect their children to get up, get dressed, eat and go
to school. Parents and alarm clocks seem like the enemies of mankind at that early
hour. Some parents even expect the “poor” youngsters to tidy up their room and
put everything in its place before leaving for school - a ridiculous demand - in the

eyes of the “victims”. In the afternoon, parents want them to do homework and study
hard. They resent their children’s endless conversations on the phone. In the evening,

they complain about the clothes and jewelry the teenagers wear and preach for hours

about the dangers on the road and the need to be home by midnight at the latest, like
Cinderella.

Youngsters expect parents to be more flexible; not to preach and lecture but to
advise and explain. They would like them to be tolerant of different views, listen to their
problems and respect their privacy. However, even if they don't admit it, youngsters
need the guidance and support of their parents, their approval

or disapproval

and


even their firm opposition on crucial subjects: sụch as drugs or alcohol. They need
limits. They need loving but firm authority. In short, youngsters should be more
patient and sensitive to their parents’ feelings and parents must understand that they

cannot prevent their children from making mistakes. Trial and error is, after all, a very
important part of the process of growing up.

i, Most arguments between parents and teenagers are about

A. complicated matters

B. dating relationships

Cc. money

BD. simple matters

2. The word “trivial” is closest in meaning to
A. unimportant

B. serious

C. necessary

B. complex

Parents don't want youngsters
A. get up early

B. hang out with their friends

C. wear jewelry

D. talk a lot on the phone

Question 24. The word “victims” in paragraph 3 refers to
A. all the parents
B. all the youngsters
C. youngsters suffering from severe abuse
D. youngsters required to clean up their room
Question 25. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 4?
A. Teenagers don’t want to talk or explain anything to their parents.
B, Parents need to stop their children from making mistakes.
C. Making mistakes plays an important role in helping teenagers to be mature.

D. Parents should let their children have freedom to do anything that they like.
