Buckingham Palace. We arrived at the Palace early in the morning. It was very hot. It was much hotter than we
expected. Everybody felt thirsty .Unfortunately, there was no ice cream stall around the palace. We wanted to get out
of the area to buy some drink, but we hadn't taken any pictures at the palace. There were a lot of visitors in front of
the palace gate so we couldn't find any space to take any photos. Half an hour passed, were all too tired to wait any
longer. We decided to get out of the crowd to get some drink and go back later. We caught a bus to Regent Street, one
of the busiest streets in London. There were a lot of shops there. The shop windows were full of beautiful goods so
we forgot our thirst. Everyone tried to look for the things they planned to buy. And nobody thought of the time. When

to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After a settler
had cut a bunch of trees, he would then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling A logrolling is a community event
where families got together for a combination of work and fun .The women would bring food and have a much
needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with friends, the children would play together exuberantly and

TEST 7
Read the passage and choose the best answer
For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf
people were not able to use a spoken language . But, early in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language.
Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without
sound. It was a sign language. How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements
using their hands, faces, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their
forefingers across their lips. This meant, “ You are not telling the truth.” They might taps their chins with three
fingers. This meant “ my uncle.” The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make
the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spelled out words at a speed of
130 words per minute. Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are
taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.

As far back as 700B.C., man has talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romuhts and Remus, the legendary
twin founders of-Rome, were purported to have been cared for by wolves. It is believed that when a she-wolf loses
'her litter, she seeks a human child to take its place. This seemingly preposterous idea did not become credible until
the late tenth century when a French doctor actually found a naked ten year-old boy wandering in the woods. He did
not walk erect, could not speak intelligibly, nor could he relate to people. He only growled and stared at them. Finally

There are many issues over computers and the education of today’s children. One concern that parents face
now is how young is too young to start educating a child about computers? Parents and teachers alike have mixed
opinions as to when it is appropriate and most beneficial to the child. Many preschool children learn to work with a
mouse and play interactive games before they learn to write or lean their ABC’s. It is true that computers can be used
as very effective tools for learning, but at what age do you begin? Some parents believe that computer education
should be much like a young child taking piano or hockey lessons. They feel that if you start a child early enough you
might find a computer genius. This will help develop the child’s knowledge quickly while they are still young.
Parents who currently work using computers understand the importance of computer education and desire to give
their children a head start. On the other hand, some parents are concerned that computers deprive children of their
creativity and socialization skills. They argue that children become brainwashed and less socialized by being exposed
to computers too early.
Câu 46. Teachers and parents are not sure about _________
A. how much computer games children should play
B. the time when children learn ABC

medieval times .In those days,when a man came on a stranger , he would often automatically reach for his sword with
his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling
around each other , weapons in hand, until it was mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside .Then, the two
parties extended their right hands to show they had no weapons , and clasped them. This was the beginning of the
handshake. The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the Orient, people have ,for centuries, clasped their

rubbing noses.
