READING
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Exercise 1: (Unit 9/tuần 20/ mức 2)
The deserts of the world are not all covered with sand. Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay
or small stones. They are not flat, either; they often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some
plant life in many parts of the desert. There is little rain in the desert, but it does fall often enough
for most plants.
The deserts of the world are not uninhabited. People also live outside oases, but these people are
not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on the desert
plants and do not need much water.
The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place; they must always look for
grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for
their animals, they fold up their tents, put them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another
place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their
goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is
not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people. But they
are also hospitable. No man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water.

Exercise 2: (Unit 11/tuần 24/ mức 2)
Many people believe that watching television has resulted in lower reading standards in schools.
However, the link between television and printed books is not as simple as that. In many cases,
television actually encourages people to read ; for example, when a book is turned into a TV series,
its sales often go up.
One study of this link examined six-year-old children who were viewing a special series of 15-
minute programs at school. The series was designed to encourage love of books, as well as to
develop the basic mechanical skills of reading. Each program is an animated film of a children's
book. The story is read aloud and certain key phrases from the book appear on the screen, beneath
the picture. Whenever a word is read, it is also highlighted on the TV screen.
One finding was that watching these programs was very important to the children. If anything
prevented them from seeing a program, they were very disappointed. What's more, they wanted to
read the books which the different parts of the series were based on.
The programs also gave the children more confidence when looking at these books. As a result of
their familiarity with the stories, they would sit in pairs and read the stories aloud to each other. On
each occasion, the children showed great sympathy when discussing a character in a book because
they themselves had been moved when watching the character on television.

When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, my only object was to earn enough to feed my
children. Today "The Body Shop" is an international company rapidly growing all around the

world. In the years since we began I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found
in this book, for I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run a
successful business without giving up what we really believe in.
It's not an ordinary business book, nor is it just about my life. The message is that to succeed in
business you have to be different. Business can be fun, a business can be run with love and it can
do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of family and to feel
excited by the unexpected. I have always wanted the people who work for "The Body Shop" to feel
the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas of mine out into the world. I'd like to think there are no limits to
our "family", no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

The SEA Games originated from the SEAP (Southeast Asian Peninsula) Games which were first
held in Thailand in 1959. When the first SEAP Games were held in Bangkok in 1959, only six
countries participated, namely Laos, Burma (Myanmar), Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet
Nam.
Luang Sukhumnaipradit, the then Vice President of the Thai National Olympic Committee, had
been trying to begin a SEAP Games since 1957. He believed that a regional sports competition,
similar to the Asian Games or the Olympic Games, will help promote cooperation, understanding,
and relations among countries in the region. His efforts were rewarded after two years.
The name SEAP Games was used up to 1975. Thailand had by then been the host country three
times. Later on Indonesia, the Philippines, and Brunei joined the Games, which were then renamed
SEA Games at its 9
th
athletics meet in Malaysia in 1977. The name has since been officially
adopted and the Games have become the most important sporting event of the region. The
membership of the SEA Games has now increased to ten with Cambodia being the last member.

The 22
nd
SEA Games mascot is the Golden Buffalo. An industrious, good-natured, and wise
animal known to be faithful to human beings, the buffalo has had a close relationship with
Vietnamese people in the nation’s rice civilization as well as with people in other Southeast Asian
countries in many respects.
The buffalo represents the desire for abundant crops, happy lives, strength, and martial spirit. The
personified image of the buffalo – a stylized picture of a Vietnamese wrestler in his “se đài” (a
greeting act performed before the match) – represents the joy, open-heartedness, and hospitality of
the host country.
