letters are quite safe.
One day, the headteacher of a school wrote to the post-office and asks for a post-office box for his
school. He soon got an answer. It said, “We will give you a post-office box in one month.”
Three months later, the headteacher wrote to the post-office again and said, “Why haven’t we got a

Read the passage and answer th following questions.

In sport, the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less
strong than men. That at least is why people say. Women are called "the weaker sex", or if men want to
please them, the "fair sex". But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are
women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists, and writers. And women live longer than men. A
European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women's bodies really
weaker? The fastest men can run a mile in under minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's
times are always slower than men's, but some facts are surprised. Some of them swam 400 meters in 4
minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first "Tarzan" in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny
Weissmuller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, slower than a girl 50 years later! This does
not mean.that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more
serious. It is so serious that some athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics, a doctor has to
check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems to say that sport has such problems.
Life can be very completed when there are two separate sexes.
46. Women are called "the weaker sex" because_____________.
A. women do as much as men B. people think women are weaker than men
C. sport is easier for men than for women D. in sport, the two sexes are always together
47. Which of the following is true?
A. Boys and girls study separately. B. Women do not run in races with men.
C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.
D. Men expect to live longer than women in Europe.
48. "That at least is why people say", means people_____________.
A. say other things, too. B. don't say this much.
C. say this but may not think so. D. only think this.
49. What problems does sport have?
A. Some women athletes are actually men. C. Women and men do not run in the same race.
B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.
D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.
50. In this passage, the author implies that_____________.
A. women are weaker but faster than men. B. women are slower but stronger than men.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Some day people will certainly try to build settlements on the moon. The best places for houses in a
moon town will be a cave or a tunnel. Underground houses will not be squashed by meteorites that
constantly fall on the moon from outer space. This will be important on the moon, since daytime is so
hot that food could be cooked in the rocks, and the nights get bitterly cold.
Pioneer moon homes may be made of airtight plastic that can be blown up like a balloon inside the
cave. The reason for this is that the moon has no air around it. The pioneers will have to take along from
the earth the oxygen masks when they are away from home. But the balloon house itself will be filled
with air. Perhaps the house will have beds, tables, and chairs, built into it. These can be inflated, too. So
people will sleep, eat and work on air ! Moon-house building will be easy. The moon’s gravity is less
than the earth’s. Everything weighs only one-sixth as much as it does on the earth.
(Squash: đè bẹp; airtight: not allowing air to enter or escape; inflated: filled with air, gas, etc.)

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
The Great Wall started as earth works thrown up for protection by different States. The individual
sections weren’t connected until the Quin dynasty (221-206 B.C). Quin Shihuangdi, First Emperor of
Quin began conscripting peasants, enemies, and anyone else who wasn’t tied to the land to go to work on
the Wall. He garrisoned armies at the Wall to stand guard over the workers as well as to defend the
northern boundaries. The tradition lasted for centuries, and each dynasty added up to the height, breath,
length, and elaborated the design mostly through forced labor.

It was during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) that the Wall took on its present form. The brick and
granite work was enlarged and sophisticated designs were added. The watch towers were redesigned and
modern canon were mounted in strategic areas. The Portuguese had found a ready market for guns and
canon in China, one of the few items of trade that China didn’t already have in abundance. The Ming
Emperors, having overthrown the Hun dominance and expelled Mongol rulers of the North devoted large
portions of available material and manpower to making sure that they didn’t return.
The Wall served well. Only when a dynasty had weakened from within were invaders from the
north able to advance and conquer. Both the Mongols (Yuan Dynasty, 1271-1368) and the Manchurians
(Qing Danasty 1644-1911) were able to take power, not because of weakness in the Wall but because of
weakness in the government and the poverty of the people. They took advantage of rebellion from within
and stepped into the void of power without extended wars.
