From the moment they leave the security of their accustomed environment, travelers are at risk. (56 Hazards-
hiểm hoạ) arise not just from strange diseases they meet on their travels but from other factors too: seemingly
uninspiring home (57 comforts) such as safe water (58 supplies), sanitation and public hygiene controls, legal safety
standards for motor vehicles and road (59 maintenance), are easily taken for granted (dễ dàng chấp nhận), but simply do
not exist in many countries. Environmental factors such as arduous (khó khăn) conditions, (60 adverse) climate, and
high altitude may constitute a danger; and so may travelers’ own behavior, free from the (61 restraints-kiềm chế) of the
daily routine, and determined to have a good time with scant(adj-hiếm)(62 regard) for the consequences.
When illness or injury occur abroad, travelers are again at a disadvantage – from (63 inability) to communicate
with a doctor on account of language or cultural difficulties, or being unable to find a doctor owing to (64 ignorance) of
the (65 local) medical system. There may be a complete (66 absence) of skilled medical care, or of medical facilities of
a (67 standard) acceptable to travelers from technologically sophisticated countries.
When symptoms of an illness (68 acquired) abroad do not appear until after return home a final hazard becomes
apparent: the symptoms may be (69 unfamiliar), may pass (70 unrecognized), and the correct diagnosis may not be
considered until it is too late.

57. A. comforts B. helps C. cares D. aids

Lahic is a small village high in the Caucasus Mountains in eastern Europe. The winters in Lahic are harsh
(khắc nghiệt). Every year, the villagers live through nine months of snow, rain, and freezing cold. The land around the
village is steep and rocky. Farming is impossible, but the mountains are rich in copper. All the food for Lahic has to be
brought in from the outside. But the village is famous for its coppersmiths (thợ đúc đồng). Villagers have been working
with copper for many centuries. And today’s villagers practice the craft in the same way as their ancestors did. They
work with great patience and simple tools. The coppersmiths of Lahic use small mallets (vồ, búa đàn) to shape copper
into useful and beautiful objects. They decorate the objects by hammering in designs and pictures. They make simple
objects such as plates. They also create more difficult things, like urns (lư, vạc).
Many people in Lahic are also skilled in other crafts. They weave woolen carpets and clothing. And they create
beautiful objects of wood and leather. But Lahic is best known for its coppersmiths. To reach Lahic, traders follow a
rugged (gồ ghề) path that twists through the mountains. Despite the danger, they have been making the journey for
centuries. The trip is worthwhile because traders can get high prices for the copperware they buy in Lahic. Lahic
copperware is greatly treasured all other the world, and is found in museums.

A group of travelers driving across the Sahara Desert were startled (hoảng) to see a cool, inviting lake suddenly appear
in the distance. They gazed with delight at the broad sheet of water sparkling (long lanh) in the sunlight. Busily, they
made plans to go swimming as soon as they reached the lake. But their driver, an experienced desert guide, informed the
passengers regretfully that when they reached the area ahead, they would find only dust, sand, and rocks. The travelers
insisted that they could see something ahead. Those with cameras were even able to take pictures of the lake the driver
said wasn’t there! Later they learned that what they had seen was a reflection of the sky on the hot, dry land. Their
cameras, like their eyes, had seen the image the light rays had created. They had seen a mirage (ảo tưởng). Mirages
appear when there are layers of air of different density. Next to the desert floor, the air was hot. Above this hot air was
another layer of cooler, more dense air. Light rays passing down from the layer of more dense air into the layer of less
dense air were bent upward. The bent rays reflected the sky. This bending of light rays is called refraction (khúc xạ). On
a clear summer day, drivers may see this kind of mirage on a paved highway. Their eyes tell them that a patch of road
ahead is wet. A blanket of hot air lies next to the road surface, which has been warmed by the sun. Light rays bend
upward as they pass into this layer. What the drivers see is just a reflection of the sky.
76. The travelers took pictures of_____.
A. dust on the road. B. rocks in the desert. C. the driver bending rays. D. a reflection of the sky.
77. The bending of light rays is called____.
A. reflection B. subtraction (phép trừ) C. refraction D. a mirage

78. Which statement does the article lead you to believe?
A. Drivers should stay off paved highways in summer. B. Blankets of hot air are better than blankets of wool.
C. People see mirages even when they know what causes them.
D. Tourists should not plan to go swimming when they see a lake.
79. Why could the travelers take pictures of a mirage?
A. The camera, like their eyes, could see the image. B. They had new, expensive cameras and good film.
C. The driver said they could take the pictures. D. They did not know the lake wasn’t there.
80. On the whole, the article tells about____.
A. people who drive in the summer. B. mirages, and how they happen.
C. travelers who stare at the sky. D. interesting things when people travel around the world.
