I. Reading passage
A. Read the passage and answer the questions (2 points)
In every country, the production of goods and services provide the food, clothing
and housing that allow its people to survive and prosper. Some countries produce an
abundance of raw materials, such as coal and timber while others produce manufactured
goods like steel and automobiles. Some countries may concentrate on producing
foodstuffs, like rice and butter while others produce services such as movies, insurance or
banking. Whatever is not country
in the country can be sold to other countries as exports.
The size of a country’s economy is determined by the total amount of goods and
services that it produces. As more and more goods and services are produced, the
economy grows and the best way to measure this growth is to put a monetary value on
everything bought or sold.
The measure of economic activity that includes all the goods and services bought
or sold in a country over the course of a year is called gross domestic product (GDP).
GDP measures a country’s economic activity, when a country produces more goods and
services, its economic activity increases. A healthy economy grows steadily over a
relatively long period of time. When growth slows down or stops, the economy is said to
be in a “recession”.

ENGLISH TEST 9
Time: 90 minutes
I. Reading passage
A. Read the passage and answer the questions (2 points)
Income growth fluctuates up and down over time even when there is a
generally rising trend in output. For example, in Vietnam, national income grew at an
average annual rate of 3.9% per year between 1986 and 1990. But rates varied
significantly from one year to the next. In 1986 income grew 6.5%, much more than
the average growth rate from 1986 – 1990. In 1990 it only grew 2.4% which was less
than the average. These year – to year (or short – term) movements in output are
called the business cycle.
The business cycle is the somewhat regular pattern of expansion (recovery)
and contraction (recession) in real output that occurs in any economy in the short
term. Growth is a term often used to mean the expansion or increase in the total
output of the economy that happens over the long term.
The turning points of economic activity during the business cycle are peak and
the trough. The peak occurs when the growth rate is at the highest point and
unemployment is low. The trough occurs when growth is at the lowest point and when
unemployment is high.

ENGLISH TEST 10
Time: 90 minutes
I. Reading passage
A. Read the passage and answer the questions (2 points)
If every country in the world used the same currency, world trade would be made
much easier. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
Currencies, like other commodities, have a certain value. The only difference
between currency and other goods is that each currency’s value is stated in terms of other
currencies. There are banks and foreign exchange offices around the world.
The world’s foreign exchange markets keep track of the values of all of the major
currencies. As some increase in value, others decline. Foreign exchange is a constantly
changing, twenty – four – hour – a – day market with trading going on in hundreds of
financial centers around the world.
The exchange rate is slightly different, if the customer is buying or selling any
particular currency. This spread of the gap between the buy and sell rates ensures that
banks and exchange offices make a small profit every time one currency is changed into
another.
How do the foreign exchange markets decide how much a currency is worth?
Like other markets, the foreign exchange market is subject to the laws of supply and
demand. If enough trades want to buy US dollars, its value will go up, i.e. it will take
more of other currencies to buy dollars. Economic and political events can also influence
foreign exchange prices. During periods of economic chaos, traders and investors
sometimes try to buy hard currencies like the U.S. dollar which is expected to keep its
value in times of trouble.
1. Is the same currency used in every country in the world?
…………………………………………………………………………………
2. What is the difference between currency and other goods?
…………………………………………………………………………………
3. What happens when one currency is changed into another?
