X-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 below.
Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision about their
children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and women? For many
children it means starting very young, and school work, going out with friends and other interests have to take
second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day,
even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is, of course, money. In many countries money for training is available from the
government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given it means that it is the
parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development – and sports clothes,
transport to competitions, special equipment, and etc. can all be very expensive.
Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early
age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed.
Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by starting young that very few people do reach the top
and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

A. young muscles can be properly developed by training
B. training at an early age may cause damage to the muscles
C. by starting young, a child can reach the top as a sports person
D. it is dangerous for young children to play any sports
Câu 35: How do some governments help young children who are good at sport?
A. They give them overseas training.
B. They give them good positions in the government.
C. They give them sports clothes and special equipment.
D. They give them money for training.
Câu 36: What is the writer’s intention?
A. To inform us about training
B. To suggest a training program.

C. To give details about training costs.
D. To discuss training method
Câu 37: This is from _________ .
A. a letter
B. a newspaper article C. a diary
D. an advertisement
Câu 38: When a child is determined to train a sport, it means that ________________.
A. he or she needs to get the best marks in class
B. his or her time must be devoted to school work
C. he or she has to study much harder in class
D. his or her school work is considered less important than training
