Câu 7: Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D)
I hated almost all of my time at boarding school and, in any case, my first term was a disaster. I
found it difficult to settle down. And my unhappiness was made worse because I was so unhappy at
home. A happy home life gives you a base from which you can go into the world with confidence. But
if life at home is difficult, life at boarding school is almost impossible. Apart from having to keep a
great many rules and customs, many of which seemed to me stupid, we were never allowed to be alone.
You had to be with another boy at all times. I am extremely dependent on being alone part of every
day, so daily life at school was very hard for me, though the other boys manages fairly well.
In the middle of the first term I developed a cough. The school nurse said it was stomach cough,
whatever it may be, and gave me some pills. However, afterwards, playing football in a snowstorm, I
suddenly could not breathe properly and was taken to the hospital. Almost at once I was put in a small
room with another boy who was very ill. He died and I nearly did. My main memory of my stay at the
hospital was that the night nurses used to get together in my room and play cards and chat. Keeping the
light on and keeping me awake when I was seriously ill didn’t bother them. When I had recovered I
was sent home for a few weeks and missed the term.

When I returned to school, I was sent to bed early because of my illness, and so managed to get
a brief period alone everyday. Later on, when I went into the senior part of the school, I was allowed to
go to school library by myself, which was a great improvement.
The day I left school, the headmaster said goodbye and asked whether it was a sad day for me. I
replied that it was the happiest day of my life. He said I would come to think of my time at the school
very differently, I said that I was sure that I would not. Though I have had unhappy days since that day,
I have found that my conclusion then- that nothing afterwards could ever be so bad as boarding schoolhave been proved true.
1. When the author was sent to the boarding school, he ...
a. felt better than at home.
b. got used to living in the new place at once.
c. found school life uneasy.
d. enjoyed his time there.
2. His illness during the first term was...
a. so serious he nearly died.
b. caused by getting cold when playing games.
c. not so bad as he had feared.
d. not treated by the school nurse.
3. In the hospital he ......
a. felt very sorry for the other patients.
b. was afraid to bother the nurses.
c. didn’t notice whether it was night or day.
d. found the nurses’ behavior disturbed him.
4. The result of his illness was that he .....
a. was away from school for a year.
b. was taught in the library.
c. had some private time for himself.
d. had to do his homework in bed.
5. When the author was leaving school, the headmaster believed the author would .....
a. realize how good school life had been.
b. be unhappy after he left school

c. be thankful to be leaving school.
d. regret his last day at school.

Which causes earthquakes? The earth is formed of layers. The surface of the earth, about
100 kilometers thin, is made of larger pieces. When they move against together, an earthquake
happens. A large movement causes a violent earthquake, but a small movement causing a mild
