Exercise 2. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answers:

It is always thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is
not real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a mandominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women’s place was in
the kitchen and women’s work was housework. In many places, women were not even allowed to go


to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose a husband for themselves. Men usually
occupied high positions in society so they thought they were intelligent and important than women.
Men considered women their property. Sometimes, women were mistreated by their husbands and
suffered this as a fate. Many parents did not even want to have female children.
Thanks to the women’s liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are
equal to men on every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she
may be as intelligent as him. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing
that no man can; they produce children.

Exercise 2: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer:
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it
is important to wear the right thing.
Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When
they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you
can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long
as you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear
dresses of skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in
some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with
their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they
go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear
jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because
everyone is different. If you are sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same.
You’ll feel more relaxed if you don’t look too different from everyone else.
1. Many British people wear freely when they ___________.
A. attend meetings
B. attend lectures
C. spend their spare time
D. meet their friends

2. Who doesn’t usually wear suits and ties?
A. Lawyers
B. Doctors
C. Drivers
D. Secretaries
3. If you visit an American friend at home in the evening, you may find that your friend wears _____.
A. pretty clothes
B. informal clothes C. formal clothes
D. dirty clothes
4. If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests to you is to wear ______.
A. strange clothes
B. as the people there do
C. your native clothes
D. pretty clothes
5. What do you think the passage is mainly about?
A. Recent dressing habit in Great Britain and the United States
B. The reason why informal clothing is popular in the UK and USA
C. When we should wear in formal way
D. Where we should wear in a formal way
Exercise 3: Read the passage and decide whether the sentence is true (T) or false ( F )
If you are invited to someone’s house in America for dinner, you should bring a gift, such as a
bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates. If you give your host a wrapped gift, he/she may open it in
front of you. Opening a present in front of the gift-giver is considered polite. It shows that the host is
excited about receiving the gift and wants to show his/her appreciation to you immediately. Even if the
host doesn’t like it, he/she will tell a “white lie” and say how much they like the gift to prevent the
guest from feeling bad.
If your host asks you to arrive at a particular time, you should not arrive exactly on time or
earlier than the expected time, because this is considered to be potentially inconvenient and therefore
rude, as the host may not be ready.
1 [T] [F] If your host asks you to arrive at a particular time, you should arrive exactly on time

2 [T] [F] If you are invited to someone’s house in America for dinner, you should bring a gift,
such as chocolate or flowers
3 [T] [F] Opening a present in front of the gift-giver isn’t considered impolite.

+ MĐQH xác định (defining relative clauses): nhằm đưa ra thông tin thiết yếu để giải thích, giải

VI. Reading: Read the passage and choose correct answer:
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for
the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for
all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems of society and build a
perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such
countries a larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think "low"
work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have
only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more
important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no
one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our house, we should get terrible diseases in
our towns...
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be
educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability
and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be
ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society. .

1. The writer of the passage thinks that
A. education can settle most of the world's problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won't help to solve social problems
D. all the social problems can't be solved by education
2. The writer wants to prove that
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. people with high education refuse to do what they think "low" work
3. According to the passage
A. work with hands is dirty and shameful
B. work with hands is low work
C. work with hands is the most important
D. we can't regard work with hands as low work
4. The purpose of education is
A. to choose a system of education
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world

VI. Reading: Read the passage and choose the best answer:
In Southeast Asian, many forests have been cut down to produce timber and to clear land for
farms and industries. The destruction of forests has reduced the living space of wildlife. Much of
Asian’s wildlife is also threatened by over-hunting. Many people kill animals for food or hunt them
to sell to zoo, medical research, and pet trader. Because of habitat destruction and over-hunting,
many large Asian animals, including elephants, rhinoceroses, and tigers, have become endangered.
In China, people have cut down most of the forests for wood, which has caused serious soil
erosion. The soil is deposited in rivers and streams, which lowers the quality of the water. The
Huang He, or Yellow River, is so named because the light-coloured soil gives the water a yellowish


colour. The soil has also raised the riverbed. As a result, the Huang He often floods, causing great
property damage and loss of life along its banks.
