BÀI 2: The Rise of E-Books

Over the past decade, e-books have revolutionized the way people consume written information.
It will probably come as no surprise that the total global sales number continues to rise each year.
There are several reasons why readers are buying more e-books. For starters, reading a lengthy e-book
in front of your computer isn't the most comfortable thing to do. But since tablet sales have exploded,
readers can now relax and read their favourite e-books in bed or on the beach. Many e-books are often
sold at lower prices than traditional books. Since there is almost zero cost for producing e-books, some
authors are offering their novels at lower prices.

Another factor is convenience. In the past, keeping a large book collection meant setting aside a lot of
extra space in one's home. With e-books, it is now possible for readers to carry a portable library,
which contains thousands of books. To really understand the e-book market, it is important to keep up
with national trends. Recent data suggests that the e-book markets in the US and the UK have matured.
In both of these countries, e-book sales account for roughly 20 percent of overall book sales. Although
that percentage continues to increase, it is going up at a slower rate than in the past. The popularity of
books has exploded in Russia. In one poll, 70 percent of Russians claim to have read at least one
e-book. However, publishers are not too pleased with this news because approximately 92 percent of
e-books in Russia are acquired illegally. In France, consumers don't appear to be too keen on e-books
at this time. Although in 2012, e-book sales comprised about 3 percent of the market, it is predicted

that this number will increase at a very slow pace. Some French people believe that reading e-books on
small screens is uncomfortable. Others say that the French are a cultural exception, as they like the
feeling of holding a dusty old physical book. This demonstrates that no matter how popular e-books
get, it is unlikely that traditional books will disappear any time soon.

Câu 1: This year e-book sales in the US and the UK will probably _____.

</div>
(3)<div class='page_container' data-page=3>

B. Reading e-books recently became more comfortable.

C. More people are returning to traditional books. D. Only a small percentage of people read

e-books.

Câu 5: The word "they" in paragraph 5 refers to _____.

A. total sales B. e-books C. French people D. traditional books

BÀI 3: GIRLS’ EDUCATION

</div>
(4)<div class='page_container' data-page=4>

In the poorest countries of the world, 50% of girls do not attend secondary school. Yet, research shows
that every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15 %. Improving female
education, and thus the earning potential of women improves the standard of living for their own
children, as women invest more of their income in their families than men do. Yet, many barriers to
education for girls remain. In some African countries, such as Burkina Faso, girls are unlikely to attend
school for such basic reasons as a lack of private toilet facilities for girls.Higher attendance rates of
high schools and university education among women, particularly in developing countries, have helped
them make inroads into professional careers with better-paying salaries and wages. Education
increases a woman’s (and her partner’s and the family’s) level of health and health awareness.
Furthering women’s levels of education and advanced training also tends to lead to later ages of
initiation of sexual activity, later age at first marriage, and later ages at first childbirth, as well as an
increased likelihood to remain single, have no children, or have no formal marriage and alternatively,

have increasing levels of long-term partnerships. It can lead to higher rates of barrier and chemical
contraceptive use (and a lower level of sexually transmitted infections among women and their partners
and children), and can increase the level of resources available to women who divorce or are in a
situation of domestic violence. It has been shown, in addition, to increase women’s communication
with their partners and their employers, and to improve rates of civic participation such as voting or the
holding of office.

Câu 1: What can be the best title for the reading passage?

A. Education and Violence Against Women B. Women’s Rights to Lifelong Education
C. Education and Women’s Empowerment D. Female Education and its Social Benefits
Câu 2: It is stated in the first paragraph that ______.

BÀI 5: (Adapted from )

A ghostly animal creeps silently through a Florida swamp. It’s a rare type of big cat known as a Florida
panther, one of only 80 to 100 such panthers left in the world. Scientists must work to save these
remaining panthers from extinction, but their secretive nature is making it difficult. They are attaching
a special transmitter to each Florida panther so they can follow their movements, range, and habits.
The technology these transmitters use is called satellite tracking.

The scientists are dedicated professionals, but they are not pioneers. Their colleagues before them have
attached tiny transmitters to many different kinds of wild animals, including birds, fish, and big cats.
So the Florida scientists are using their methods. Firstly, they must trap and tranquillize the panther.
Then, the transmitter is attached to a harness and strapped to the panther’s body. Each harness is
custom designed and manually adjusted for panthers so it fits comfortably. Scientists don’t want the
transmitter to interfere with the panther’s natural habits. The point of tracking them is to find out as
much as they can about their natural habits. Once the tracking transmitter is in place, the information it
records is sent to an orbiting satellite. The satellite can see the transmitter that is attached to the
panther,

</div>
(7)<div class='page_container' data-page=7>

to Earth so it can be recorded by the scientists. Scientists can use the information in many different
ways. They can follow the panthers on the ground and observe their behavior. Alternatively, they can
use the information to determine the panthers’ ranges and to understand their social patterns. They can

also track how environmental changes like weather conditions affect their movements and health. All
this information can be used to provide ideal conditions for the endangered panthers. It can also be
used to protect the panthers from danger.

In the end, the panther silently slips away through the trees. Around its shoulders a transmitter is
sending signals via satellite to a dedicated biologist. The biologist is using the information the
transmitter provides to save the Florida panthers from extinction. With the help of satellite tracking
these beautiful cats have a better chance of survival in the modern world.

Question 1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Scientists dedicated to saving Florida panthers.
B. Different methods of tracking Florida panthers.

C. The use of a tracking device to protect Florida panthers.

Question 2. According to the passage, what information does the satellite collect from the transmitter?

A. The chance of panthers’ survival. B. The panther’s exact location.

A. tend to remain hidden from people B. are abundant in number
C. live with the spirit of ghosts D. can be easily followed

BÀI 6: FOOD

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over
conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic
foods-a term whose mefoods-aning vfoods-aries grefoods-atly - frequently proclfoods-aim thfoods-at such products foods-are sfoods-afer foods-and more
nutritious than others. The growing interest of consumers in the safety and more nutritional quality of
the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been
sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs.

Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written
material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction.
As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures
disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for
folklore. Almost daily the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging" diets, new vitamins,

and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior
to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated
grains are better than fumigated grains and the like. One thing that most organically grown food
products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many
cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better

nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there IS real cause for concern if
