answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of paint can have serious
effects. Children exposed to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation,
blindness, even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild mental retardation, short attention spans,
distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems.
This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to lead-based paint.
Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when children ingest flakes of
chipped paint, plaster, or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nailbiting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although
American paint companies today must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in
their paint, this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous. Children living in
older dilapidatedhouses are particularly at risk.
Question 36. What is the main topic of the passage?
A: lead paint in older homes
B: problems with household paint
C: major health concerns for children
D: lead poisoning in children
Question 37.The phrase exposed to in the first paragraph could be best replaced by which of the
following?
A: familiar with

B: in contact with
C: conducting
D: displaying
Question 38.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the word suffer in the first paragraph?

C: grieve with
D: feel pain from
Question 39.Which of the following does the passage infer?
A: Paint companies have always followed restrictions regarding the amount of lead used in their paint.
B: Paint companies aren’t required to limit the amount of lead used in their paint.
C: Paint companies must limit the amount of lead used in their paint.
D: Paint companies can no longer use lead in their paint.

paragraph?

B: threatened by

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 from 43 to 50.
IDENTITY FRAUD – THE NEW HOT CRIME
Identity theft – cases where thieves steal your personal data to rip through your bank or credit card accounts
– is a fast-growing crime. Home office statistics estimate a 1.7 billion pounds loss over the past 12 months,
which, in cash terms, is far ahead of mugging. In the US, where the crime is even more rampant, figures
point to a staggering $50 billion (about 28 billion pounds) a year.
The government believes that there are at least 100,000 identity theft victims every year. Others put the
figure significantly higher, as some people may not even know their accounts have been raided: identity
thieves often stop short of clearing out an account to keep their crime profile low. Identity theft flourishes
today because many financial transactions are not face to face. Once criminals get hold of data such as your
bank account number and address, they can go on a spending spree. Terrifyingly, they do not need all your
details; just a few will do.
“It’s easy,” says Glen Hastings, a reformed identity thief and author of Identity Theft, Inc. “The only
prerequisite is the ability to read and write. It certainly helps to be computer literate, but it’s far from
essential. I stole several hundred identities in my career.” Hastings’ modus operandi was to discover
individuals with excellent credit records, the very people banks adore. By impersonating these pillars of
financial rectitude, he borrowed large amounts in their name – money that he never, of course, repaid. Even
your home could be at risk. Last year, a schoolteacher, who was renting out his unmortgaged Brighton home
while he was working in the Far East, was the victim of an audacious identity fraud. A new “tenant” paid six
months’ rent in advance but was never to spend a night there, instead, assuming the teacher’s identity using
documents and items received through the post at the house. The fraudster managed to remortgage the
property for 210,000 pounds, which he then took out of the country. It took the unfortunate schoolteacher
months of trauma to get his house back. The mortgage company, meanwhile, has never seen a penny of its
money back.
In the US, one identity victim had her details so closely associated with a $50,000 criminal spending spree

that a warrant was put out in her name. The real criminal – who was also a drug dealer – never stopped using
the victim’s name, even when caught and imprisoned, which led to further problems.
Hastings states that he only stole from “banks, casinos, credit card companies, airlines and big stores – never
the little guy.” But we all pay for that, and in any case, most ID thieves are not so selective. And even if you
get your money back – most banks and credit card companies treat victims sympathetically – you will still
have weeks of worry when you may be unable to access your money and may have to prove that you did not
spend 10,000 pounds on internet poker.
As an actor, Carolyn Tomkinson is used to taking other people’s identities. But when someone impersonated
her and cleaned out her Nationwide account, she knew it wasn’t play-acting. “When I found out, I burst into
tears,” she says. (A) “It was all my money gone overnight. Colleagues clubbed together and lent some cash,
but it was awful – I felt stunned, upset, and violated.” Carolyn had taken 20 pounds from a cash machine the
night before. Somehow – probably with concealed gadgetry to read her PIN and clone the card – thieves took
570 pounds from other machines in London, showing a typical fraud pattern in the way they tested her daily
limit, then hit her again just after midnight. (B)
“I discovered it the next day when I wanted to take out a further 20 pounds. The machine said that I had no
further credit available. I then discovered what had happened from the mini-statement. I rang Nationwide,
who said they would cancel my card and asked me to report it to the police. The building society was very

sympathetic, but said it could take six weeks before I got my money back. In the event, it only took a week.
(C)
Architectural librarian Claudia Mernick has been “cloned” three times. The third attack was on her credit
card. “I’d been out buying food one lunchtime. Almost as soon as I got home, the credit card company called
me to see how I could have used my card in two places that were far from each other, at the same time. It was
an obvious fraud. I was really impressed with their speed. My credit card was cancelled and it took a week or
so before I had a new one. But I would like to know what happened and how to avoid it. The thieves didn’t
cost me a lot of money but a lot of hassle.” (D)

B: He used the house as security to borrow a large amount of money.
C: He didn’t pay the rent that he’s promised to pay in advance.
D: He sold the house to another individual and then fled the country.
Question 45.What was the immediate effect of identity theft on Carolyn Tomkinson?
A: She was shocked.
B: She was angry.

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 from 36 to 42.
Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of paint can have serious
effects. Children exposed to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation,
blindness, even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild mental retardation, short attention spans,
distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems.
This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to lead-based paint.
Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when children ingest flakes of
chipped paint, plaster, or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nailbiting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although
American paint companies today must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in
their paint, this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous. Children living in
older dilapidatedhouses are particularly at risk.

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 from 43 to 50.
IDENTITY FRAUD – THE NEW HOT CRIME
Identity theft – cases where thieves steal your personal data to rip through your bank or credit card accounts
– is a fast-growing crime. Home office statistics estimate a 1.7 billion pounds loss over the past 12 months,
which, in cash terms, is far ahead of mugging. In the US, where the crime is even more rampant, figures
point to a staggering $50 billion (about 28 billion pounds) a year.
The government believes that there are at least 100,000 identity theft victims every year. Others put the
figure significantly higher, as some people may not even know their accounts have been raided: identity
thieves often stop short of clearing out an account to keep their crime profile low. Identity theft flourishes
today because many financial transactions are not face to face. Once criminals get hold of data such as your
bank account number and address, they can go on a spending spree. Terrifyingly, they do not need all your
details; just a few will do.
“It’s easy,” says Glen Hastings, a reformed identity thief and author of Identity Theft, Inc. “The only
prerequisite is the ability to read and write. It certainly helps to be computer literate, but it’s far from
essential. I stole several hundred identities in my career.” Hastings’ modus operandi was to discover
individuals with excellent credit records, the very people banks adore. By impersonating these pillars of
financial rectitude, he borrowed large amounts in their name – money that he never, of course, repaid. Even
your home could be at risk. Last year, a schoolteacher, who was renting out his unmortgaged Brighton home
while he was working in the Far East, was the victim of an audacious identity fraud. A new “tenant” paid six
months’ rent in advance but was never to spend a night there, instead, assuming the teacher’s identity using
documents and items received through the post at the house. The fraudster managed to remortgage the
property for 210,000 pounds, which he then took out of the country. It took the unfortunate schoolteacher
months of trauma to get his house back. The mortgage company, meanwhile, has never seen a penny of its
money back.
In the US, one identity victim had her details so closely associated with a $50,000 criminal spending spree
that a warrant was put out in her name. The real criminal – who was also a drug dealer – never stopped using

the victim’s name, even when caught and imprisoned, which led to further problems.
Hastings states that he only stole from “banks, casinos, credit card companies, airlines and big stores – never
the little guy.” But we all pay for that, and in any case, most ID thieves are not so selective. And even if you
get your money back – most banks and credit card companies treat victims sympathetically – you will still
have weeks of worry when you may be unable to access your money and may have to prove that you did not
spend 10,000 pounds on internet poker.
As an actor, Carolyn Tomkinson is used to taking other people’s identities. But when someone impersonated
her and cleaned out her Nationwide account, she knew it wasn’t play-acting. “When I found out, I burst into
tears,” she says. (A) “It was all my money gone overnight. Colleagues clubbed together and lent some cash,
but it was awful – I felt stunned, upset, and violated.” Carolyn had taken 20 pounds from a cash machine the
night before. Somehow – probably with concealed gadgetry to read her PIN and clone the card – thieves took
570 pounds from other machines in London, showing a typical fraud pattern in the way they tested her daily
limit, then hit her again just after midnight. (B)
“I discovered it the next day when I wanted to take out a further 20 pounds. The machine said that I had no
further credit available. I then discovered what had happened from the mini-statement. I rang Nationwide,
who said they would cancel my card and asked me to report it to the police. The building society was very
sympathetic, but said it could take six weeks before I got my money back. In the event, it only took a week.

Architectural librarian Claudia Mernick has been “cloned” three times. The third attack was on her credit
card. “I’d been out buying food one lunchtime. Almost as soon as I got home, the credit card company called
me to see how I could have used my card in two places that were far from each other, at the same time. It was
an obvious fraud. I was really impressed with their speed. My credit card was cancelled and it took a week or
so before I had a new one. But I would like to know what happened and how to avoid it. The thieves didn’t
cost me a lot of money but a lot of hassle.” (D)

vật đảm bảo để vay một số tiền lớn.)
Dựa vào đoạn văn trong bài: A new “tenant” paid six months’ rent in advance but was never to spend a night
there, instead, assuming the teacher’s identity using documents and items received through the post at the
house. The fraudster managed to remortgage the property for 210,000 pounds, which he then took out of the
country. (Một người thuê nhà mới đã trả trước sáu tháng tiền thuê nhà nhưng lại không ở đó một ngày nào,
thay vào đó, hắn khoác lên mình nhận dạng của giáo viên đó bằng cách sử dụng những tài liệu và các hiện
vật khác được gửi đến ngôi nhà qua đường bưu điện. Kẻ lừa đảo này sau đó đã tìm cách tái thế chấp ngôi nhà
để vay 210.000 bảng Anh và đem số tiền đó trốn ra nước ngoài.)
Phương án sai:''He didn’t pay the rent that he’s promised to pay in advance.''( Hắn không trả khoản tiền thuê
nhà như đã hứa lúc đầu.)
Phương án sai: " He sold the house to another individual and then fled the country." (Hắn bán ngôi nhà cho
một người khác rồi trốn ra nước ngoài.)

Đáp án (proves that vigilance by the credit card company is crucial when it comes to identity fraud ): Chứng
minh rằng sự cảnh giác của công ty thẻ tín dụng là rất quan trọng trong các vụ đánh cắp nhận dạng.
Dựa vào đoạn văn trong bài: The credit card company called me to see how I could have used my card in two
places that were far from each other, at the same time. It was an obvious fraud. (Công ty thẻ tín dụng gọi

Question 48.Where in the passage should this sentence be put? “I’ve always been very careful, but now I
try to avoid ATMs by getting cashback at the supermarket checkout.”
A: (C)
B: (D)
C: (A)
D: (B)
Đáp án (C)
Nghĩa của câu in nghiêng: Từ đó trở đi tôi đã luôn rất cảnh giác, nhưng bây giờ tôi cố gắng tránh xa các cây
ATM bằng cách sử dụng loại thẻ rút tiền mặt ngay khi thanh toán tại quầy tính tiền trong siêu thị.
Giải thích: đoạn 5 và 6 nói về sự việc của Carolyn xuất phát từ việc sử dụng thẻ ATM của cô. Có thể thấy
một số từ liên quan đến nội dung này xuất hiện trong hai đoạn nêu trên như “taken 20 pounds from a cash

machine” (rút 20 bảng Anh từ một máy rút tiền), “PIN” (mã pin của thẻ ATM), “daily limit” (Số tiền tối đa
được rút trong ngày). Hơn thế nữa, đoạn 6 kể chi tiết diễn biến của câu chuyện thì kết thúc câu chuyện nêu
lên giải pháp của bản thân Carolyn nhằm tránh khỏi tình trạng tiếp tục trở thành nạn nhân của những sự việc
tương tự như trên là hoàn toàn hợp lý về logic diễn biến câu chuyện.
Question 49.What is referred to by the phrase “a few” in paragraph 2?
A: personal data
B: identity thieves
C:criminals
D: financial transactions
Đáp án (personal data ): thông tin cá nhân.
Once criminals get hold of data such as your bank account number and address, they can go on a spending
spree. Terrifyingly, they do not need all your details; just a few will do.
(Một khi bọn tội phạm đã nắm được một số dữ liệu như số tài khoản ngân hàng và địa chỉ của bạn, chúng có
thể tự cho tiêu tiền của bạn. Một điều đáng sợ là chúng không cần thiết phải có tất cả các thông tin chi tiết
của bạn, chỉ cần vài thông tin là cũng đủ rồi.)
Question 50.What is the author’s attitude towards identity fraud?
A: supportive
B: resentful
C: skeptical
D: not mentioned
Đáp án (not mentioned )
Trong suốt bài đọc, tác giả chỉ nhằm mô tả về một loại hình tội phạm mới là lừa đảo nhận dạng mà không hề
thể hiện bất kỳ thái độ hay nhận xét cá nhân gì loại tội phạm này.

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 from 36 to 42.It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get
an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.
The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much
more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education has no limits. It can take place anywhere,

whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal
learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of
education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from child
to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces
surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other
religions. People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a
lifelong process, process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of
one's entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies
little from one setting to the next. Throughout a county, children arrive at school at about the same time,
take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on.
The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are alphabet or an understanding of the workings of
governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know
thatthey are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what

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 from 43 to 50.
EARTHQUAKE

Earthquakes occur as a result of sudden shifts in the Earth’s tectonic plates. Sometimes they are characterized
by a sudden violent shaking of the ground. Depending on the amount of energy released in an earthquake, the
geographic location of an earthquake’s initial ground rupture, and the population density in the area
surrounding this ground rupture, earthquakes can have severe consequences to human life.
Scientists use the Richter scale to measure the force or power of an earthquake. Developed by Charles F.
Richter in 1935 in conjunction with the California Institute of Technology, the scale is used to record
earthquakes from less than a 2.0, micro-earthquakes, all the way up to more than a 10.0 known as “rocky
meteorite impacting,” the likes of which have never been recorded.
Micro-earthquakes measuring 2.0 or less on the Richer scale occur at a rate of about 8,000 per day. These are
never felt and are considered harmless. Minor earthquakes lay between 3.0-3.9 on the Richter scale. They are
often felt, but seldom result in any damage. It is estimated that there are round 49,000 minor earthquakes per
year. Measuring in at 6.0-6.9 on the Richter scale, a strong earthquake can devastate areas within a 100 mile
radius of the initial ground rupture point as witnessed in several earthquake-prone zones throughout the
world. Strong earthquakes occur at a frequency of about 120 per year. A great earthquake can be extremely
destructive in areas several hundred miles across. Great earthquakes measure in at 8.0-8.9 on the Richter
scale. Earth averages on great earthquake per year.
Scientists have estimated that the 1906 San Francisco earthquake could have measured between 8.0 and 8.9
on the Richter scale. This earthquake ruptured 296 miles off the San Andreas Fault. Important scientific

research of the great San Francisco earthquake spawned new theories about the source of earthquakes. For
example, the elastic –rebound theory developed by Reid in 1910 after carefully researching the displacement
and strains in the crust surrounding the rupture. This theory is still the basis for studying the earthquake
cycle.
Question 43: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the 1906 San Francisco
earthquake?
A: Immediately after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the scientific community learned very little about
earthquake.

B: It caused mass devastation and became one of the most famous earthquakes in history.
C: It was actually not very destructive.
D: It is considered to be the worst natural disaster in the history of the planet.
Question 44: The author of the passage implies that the Richter scale ___________.
A: helps prevent earthquakes from occurring.
B: is the standard in the world for measuring earthquake activity.
C: was developed as a result of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.
D: is not widely used in the scientific community.
Question 45: In paragraph 1, what does the author say about earthquakes?
A: They can occur twice a day in the summertime.
B: They can occur far from the edges of plates along faults.
C: Their occurrence coincides with shifts in the Earth‟s tectonic plates.
D: They tend to be all devastating in nature.
Question 46: The word “severe” in the passage is closest in meaning to ___________.
A: heated
B: serious
C: excruciating
D: coincided
Question 47: The word “these” in the passage refers to ___________.
A: Richter scale
B: meteoric earthquakes
C: trends
D: micro-earthquakes
Question 48: Which of the following best expresses the essential information in the following sentence?
“Measuring in at 6.0-6.9 on the Richter scale, a strong earthquake can devastate areas within a 100 mile
radius of the initial ground rupture point as witnessed in several earthquake-prone zones throughout the
world.”
A: Strong earthquakes can destroy almost every house within a radius of 100 miles from sources anywhere in
the world.
B: The strongest earthquake cause devastation and death in even places that are usually calm and reputed to

be safe from natural disasters
C: Strong earthquakes can be felt hundreds of miles from the initial ground rupture
D: Strong earthquakes seldom cause damage in a radius less than 50 miles.

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 from 36 to 42.It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get
an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school.
The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much
more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education has no limits. It can take place anywhere,
whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal
learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of
education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from child
to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces
surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other

religions. People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a
lifelong process, process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of
one's entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies
little from one setting to the next. Throughout a county, children arrive at school at about the same time,
take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on.
The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are alphabet or an understanding of the workings of
governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know
thatthey are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what
the newest filmmaker are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the
formalized process of schooling.

Question 36: In the passage, the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school” mostly
implies that ______.
A. schooling prevents people discovering things
B. schooling takes place everywhere
C. all of life is an education
D. education is totally ruined by schooling
Đọc cả câu trước và câu sau của câu chứa cụm từ in đậm, chúng ta vẫn không thấy có 1 chỉ dẫn nào để đoán
nghĩa của cụm từ này. Trong những trường hợp tương tự chúng ta phải tiếp tục đọc các câu tiếp theo hoặc
chúng ta có thể dùng phương pháp loại trừ hoặc kết hợp cả 2.
- Câu A: Giáo dục ở nhà trường cản trở người ta khám phá nhiều thứ. => không hề đề cập tới trong bài =>
loại.
- Câu B: Giáo dục ở nhà trường diễn ta mọi nơi => trong bài có đề cập tới một khái niệm về giáo dục cũng
diễn ra khắp mọi nơi, nhưng đó là nói về "education" chứ không phải "schooling" => loại.
- Câu C: Đời người là 1 quá trình học. Nếu đọc kĩ phần cuối của đoạn 2, ta sẽ thấy câu "Education, then, is
a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, process that starts long before the start of school, and
one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life." (Giáo dục là 1 thuật ngữ bao hàm rất rộng, nó là 1

quá trình kéo dài cả đời, nó bắt đầu trước giáo dục nhà trường và là 1 phần thiết yếu trong toàn bộ cuộc đời
của con người.).
Nếu coi giáo dục là việc cả đời và giáo dục có trước giáo dục trong nhà trường thì khi đối chiếu với cụm từ
in đậm ta thấy có sự tương đồng. Khi trẻ em đến trường có nghĩa là chúng tạm gián đoạn quá trình học ở
ngoài đời để đến học trong 1 môi trường khác => câu C có vẻ ổn.
- Câu D: Giáo dục đã bị giáo dục nhà trường phá hỏng hoàn toàn => không đề cập trong bài => loại.
Vậy chỉ còn phương án C => chọn C.
Question 37: According to the passage, the doers of education are ______.
A. only respected grandparents
B. mainly politicians
C. mostly famous scientists
D. almost all people
"The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on
the radio, from a child to a famous scientist." => dựa vào đó ta có thể suy luận ra rằng đối tượng của giáo
dục gần như là hầu hết mọi người.
Question 38: What does the writer mean by saying “education quite often produces surprises”?
A. It’s surprising that we know little about other religions.
B. Educators often produce surprises.
C. Informal learning often brings about unexpected results.
D. Success of informal learning is predictable.
- Loại A vì "know little about other religions" chỉ là 1 giả thiết, 1 điều chưa chắc chắn chứ không phải là
thực tế, nhưng theo cách diễn đạt của A thì nó là 1 sự thật.
- Loại B vì trong suốt bài đọc không hề nhắc đến "educators" (các nhà giáo dục).
- Loại D vì bài đọc không nói đến sự thành công của loại hình "informal learning" ( việc học không chính
thức - không trong nhà trường). Hơn nữa, ý nghĩa của cụm từ in đậm này phải trái với mệnh đề đứng trước
nó vì có liên từ chỉ quan hệ đối lập "whereas". Mệnh đề trước nói rằng " Giáo dục nhà trường có thể dự
đoán được ở một mức nhất định" => do đó nếu chọn D thì không hợp lí => loại.
Question 39: Which of the following would the writer support?
A. Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible.
B. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.

C. Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day.
D. Without formal education, people won’t be able to read and write.
- Loại A vì nội dung không được đề cập trong bài.
- Câu B có vẻ đúng (căn cứ vào nội dung của cả bài và thậm chí cả phương án của các câu hỏi trước).
- C loại vì đọc ngay câu đầu tiên hoặc dựa vào kiến thức phổ thông ta thấy điều này không đúng.
- D loại vì không được đề cập trong bài.=> chọn B.
Question 40: Because the general pattern of schooling varies little from one setting to the next, school
children throughout the country ______.
A. are taught by the same teachers
B. have the same abilities
C. do similar things
D. have similar study conditions
