C. READING COMPREHENSION
I. Read the passage carefully and then choose the best answer.
During the teenager years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk
to. They often seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk
about their work in school. This is normal development at this age, though it can be
very hard for parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers
trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more
willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not
because people are trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons or daughters about school
work and future plant but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents

Gởi đến cô Ngô Bảo Thoa:
Bà già đi chọc Bạch Kim
Bói xem một quẻ im mồm được chăng?
Thầy bói gieo quẻ nói rằng:
Im sao mà được, nói năng ngược đời.
Xin các bạn xem tổng hợp ý kiến và cho nhận xét:
Bạn Bình có thấy cuối trang có Tên của Tôi (Bảo Thoa)? Phải KÍN KẼ chứ!
Ngô Đình Bảo Thoa @ 16:59 15/09/08
Do Cô Ngô Đình Bảo Thoa nỗi tiếng quá..........
Trịnh Thị Kim Loan @ 17:03 15/09/08
NỔI TIẾNG chứ! (dấu ngã là NỖI LÒNG). Tôi chỉ nhắc TTBình cẩn thận hơn 1 tí
(chùi mép cho khéo) kẻo không diễn đàn Bạch Kim sẽ "bịt mũi" cười cho đấy! Cảm
ơn Trịnh Thị Kim Loan có nhắc đến tên Tôi. Chứng tỏ Bảo Thoa không đến NỖI là
không có gì đáng nhớ!
Ngô Đình Bảo Thoa @ 17:32 15/09/08
Phải nói cô Ngô Đình Bảo Thoa Giỏi quá. Đã phát hiện bản “copy của mình”.
‡♥‡Nguyễn Duy‡♥‡ @ 17:37 15/09/08
1. Quý Thầy Cô chịu khó kéo Scroll Bar cho "Tài Liệu" của TTB đến cuối trang sẽ
thấy hai chữ "Bảo Thoa" trước số trang. 2. Ngô Đình Bảo Thoa và Vô Danh Khách
là HAI người hoàn toàn khác nhau. 3. Có lẽ TTB rảnh rỗi quá nên muốn "nêu vấn
đề" để kéo sự chú ý của diễn đàn chăng? 4. Ai là "THÙNG RỖNG KÊU TO" diễn
đàn BK đã và sẽ thấy rõ rồi!
Ngô Đình Bảo Thoa @ 11:08 16/09/08
Nếu bài này Bảo Thoa đã đưa lên thư viện rồi thì BQT sẽ không duyệt nữa! Ý Bảo
Thoa thế nào?
Nguyễn Lương Hùng @ 12:23 16/09/08

Kính gửi Thầy Nguyễn Lương Hùng,
Không sao cả, Thầy ạ! Tôi nêu ý kiến là để góp ý cho TTB thôi! Theo tôi, ai dùng tư
liệu của tôi cũng được, nhưng với một điều kiện: phát hiện được lỗi sai trong tư liệu
của tôi, có chỉnh sửa và vẫn để nguyên tên tác "giả" đầu tiên khi đưa lên lại Bạch
Kim. Có như vậy, không những tôi mà quý đồng nghiệp khác lại biết ơn thêm nữa!
Thật ra, trong mỗi tư liệu mỗi người đưa lên đều có dấu tích riêng mà chỉ có người đó
biết thôi. Nếu "bê nguyên si" rồi đưa lên lại là "lộ" ra ngay! Nói chung, chuyện nầy là
chuyện "bé" thôi. Xin Thầy đừng bận tâm. Cảm ơn Thầy quan tâm. Chúc Thầy vui,
khỏe.
Ngô Đình Bảo Thoa @ 12:40 16/09/08
Các bạn trên diễn đàn BK thân mến! Cô Ngô Đình Bảo Thoa thực sự là Ngô Bảo
Thoa (từng có nick là Ngoa Bao Thổ, tại sao 1 giáo viên lại phải thay đổi tên mình
thế?!) đã từng làm náo động diễn đàn những này qua. Cô Thoa đã đưa ra những lời lẽ
rất khiếm nhã đến nổi các thành viên BK yêu cầu cô phải xin lỗi trước diễn đàn.
Tôi xin trích lại ý kiến cô trong những này qua: Cô luôn nói rằng :”…….. đã post bài
lên BK thì không còn là của riêng nữa…….., mọi người có thể down và chỉnh sửa
