VI. Read the passages and answer the questions.
Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of
medical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more
hospitals in the community: They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients
according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operating room, tests, medicines that they use).
Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veteran's hospitals, a federal government agency.
Others are operated by churches or other non-profit groups.
Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or
residents who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care
for their workers or work for the federal government's Public Health Service. Physicians are among the best
paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn
incomes of more than $10,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons might earn several times that
amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is
the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United States. Most people who
Trang 4/7

would be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the
best private institutions. Prospective physicians then attend medical school for another four years.
Tuition alone can be over $10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees.
many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of training in a hospital, the
first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish
a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These
physicians also take care of each other's patients in emergencies.
Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical
procedures, even quite routine ones, involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well
rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.
66. In America, it’s very popular that
A. Self-employed private physicians over-charge a fee for each patient’s visit.
B. Self-employed private physicians do not charge a fee for each patient’s visit
C. Self-employed private physicians sign a contract with one or more hospitals.
D. Self-employed private physicians have a contract with only one hospital.
67. The reason why physicians deserve a high salary is that
A. they have to spend alot on their education and training
B. they work long hours
C. they are in deeply debt
D. they can’t afford the expenses on their education and training
68. According to the passage, how long does it take for a would-be physician to become an independent
physician in the USA?
A. About seven years.
B. Eight years.
C. Ten years.
D. About twelve years.
69. Sometimes several physicians set up a group medical practice mainly because

A. there are so many patients that it is difficult for one physician to take care of all of them
B. they can take turns to work long hours
C. facilities may be too much of a burden for one physician to shoulder
D. no one wants to assume too much responsibility
70. Which of the following statements could fully express the author's view towards physicians' payment in
the USA?
A. For their expensive education and their responsibility, they deserve a handsome pay.
B. It is reasonable for physicians to have a large income because their work is very dangerous.
C. Physicians should be better paid because they work long hours under bad conditions
D. Physicians have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well rewarded.
VII. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions following it.
Americans are a very energetic and mobile people, always on the run, rushing from one appointment
to another, from a PTA meeting to a social planning committee. They have very little time to spend
preparing elaborate everyday meals to be eaten at leisure. In many homes it is rare for the whole family to
sit down at supper together. Clubs and commitments force them to grab a quick meal rather than a sit-down
supper. When they do have the chance to eat at home often the working housewife prefers to prepare meals
which can be quickly heated and consumed. It is no wonder, therefore, that America has become a
sanctuary for fast food consumption.
This great transformation occurred after World War II when many women began to work full-time
jobs and were spending less time at home with their families. Women, however, wanted to function well in
the capacity of homemaker, as well as that of career woman but time became a precious commodity which
had to be carefully used.
Therefore, it was necessary to make her life easier at home in the preparation of the family dinner.
Simultaneously with women entering the job market there was also a shifting of the focus of home
entertainment from the radio to the television. Television became the latest fad in the fifties and no one
wanted to miss his or her favorite televised program. The place for the evening's supper shifted from the
dining room to the living room.
Trang 5/7

As the customs changed, so did the culture. The immediate solution for this was the invention of the
TV dinner. These were frozen meals which were sectioned off into portions of meat and vegetables. They
could easily be popped into an oven and prepared within minutes. The tin trays in which they were served
were conveniently carried into the living room and dinner was consumed in front of a TV set. Cleaning up
afterwards was no problem. The tin trays were easily tossed into the garbage.
From fast dinners at home the next step was quick eating while on the road. At this time also the
love for TV was combined with the fascination for the automobile. It is not odd that with the development
of the superhighways America saw the beginning of fast food chains. McDonald's paved the way with its
variety of burgers and shakes soon to be followed by all kinds of other foods. Today dozens of fast-food
chain franchises can be found along highways, in modern shopping malls and
scattered throughout neighborhoods in America. Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Roy Roger's, Burger King and
Wendy's are just a few of the fast-food chains which are now part of American culture. They offer chicken,
donuts, tacos and pizza, all quickly produced in great quantities for the masses. These establishments have
given shape to the modern lifestyles and diet of the American people.
71. How can one best describe the American people?
A. Fat and obese
B. Energetic and mobile
C. Lazy and indolent
D. Aggressive and argumentative

A. From 1990 to 1999.
B. Before World War II
C. In the 1980's.
D. After World War II.

74. The word function in line 8 probably means:
A. digest
B. learn to do
C. practice
D. see

A. Families began to eat TV dinners.
