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.

A. It helped them learn to read.

B. The deaf could understand body movements made by normal people.
C. It helped them communicate with other people.

D. It helped them spell out words.

49. Why are sign language and finger spelling not used as much as they used to?
A. Because there are other ways to help the deaf communicate.
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
life possible. As parents, we watch our kids' homework and the games they play, and we are careful to watch for
alcohol, drugs, or violence in their lives. When we hear a car crash we make sure that our kids are not hurt. But we
do not take them into the street to see the glass and the blood and the people hurt in the accident. So why do we let
our children watch the TV shows that they choose. There are excellent programs on television for children. These
programs are made for children, with valuable lessons for children about good and bad things, and about positive
and negative actions. There are also terrible, upsetting programs on TV that are not made for children. These
shows are made with violence, sex, or horror as the main subject. And now, because of VCRs, we can also bring
movies like "Jaws" or "Halloween’s" home from video store to show on television. Children who watch television
everyday on TV will begin to think that violence is normal. And one day, these children will become violent, too.

VI. Read the following passage carefully and choose from the four given options (marked A, B, C or D) one
best solution finish each of the questions that follow.
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

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
running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities,
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

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!"

VII. Read the following passage carefully and choose from the four given options (marked A, B, C or D) one
best solution finish each of the questions that follow.
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.

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.
