Question II: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 66 to 75.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius (thiên tài), they will
cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest
mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents
expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him
a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive
him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his
father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions
if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are
successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful
as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does
not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and
unhappy.

Mozart, who was born on January 27, 1756 in the Austrian city of Salzburg, was neither the first nor the
last child prodigy, but he was certainly the greatest. He was born into a moderately prosperous family
where his unmatched musical genius made itself known extremely early. Mozart began leaning to play
harpsichord at three and his earliest known work was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age at
which he also first appeared in public. From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign
tour, Mozart toured the courts and musical centres of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland,
Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart spent almost a third of his short life - he died at
the age of thirty five – travelling. As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts. Mozart also
wrote a lot of operas. His first opera, Mitridate, Re di Ponto, was performed in Milan when he was 14, and
it was the first of many successes in the theatre.
61. How rich was Mozart’s family?
A. Very rich B. As rich as a financial C. Not very rich D. Very
poor
62. When did he take the first step into the world of music as a composer?
A. When he was three B. When he was five
C. When he was fourteen D. When he was thirty-five
63. What did he do on his first tour to some major European countries?
Prepared by ĐỖ BÌNH - THPT LIỄN SƠN – Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72

centres

64. Why is it possible to name Mozart “A travelling composer”?
A. Because he spent almost a third of his short life travelling. C. Because he never travelled.
B. Because he liked travelling a lot. D. Because he had good imagination.

II. TOPIC: Write a letter to pen-pal to talk about your family rules.
……………, September 21
st
, 2014
Dear Jim,
I am writing to talk about my family rules. It is an interesting topic, isn’t it? It may br obvious that
every family has its own rules. Mine has a few, apart from the traditional ones, especially for this school
year as I am in the final year.
First, I am not allowed to watch much TV, except when there is a good or very interesting film or
an academic game show, or when I have finished all my homework and exercises. And hardly do my
parents let me stay up so late at night.
Next, my parents rarely permit me to go out with friends without necessary reasons for example
birthdays or funerals.
Besides, I have to take the balanced diets to keep fit for my coming examinations. And one more
thing I have to keep up is talking on the phone. That is why I have to set a limit to my using of the phone.
Furthermore, I don’t have to do much housework though we share that all together.
Do you think I have a lot of rules to abide? Or I have no rights or freedom to do what I want or
like?
Tell me about your family rules, will you? It is much fun to hear about then.

Write to me as soon as you can. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Mai
