Young people have always liked having their own language. Each generation has its own slang words, and they
change faster than most adults can keep up with. That’s the point of slang, according to experts who study language
and communication, and according to the young people themselves. “You don’t want your parents or teachers
understanding everything you say,” says one 15-year-old. “We need our own space, too.”

But nowadays it’s not a matter of just a few words. There is a whole new language developing. It’s happening
online, and it’s happening at lightning speed. “It” is the language of Instant Messaging, or IM, also used in text
messaging. For young people, it’s a fun and creative way to converse. And the cool thing for them is, most adults
can’t understand it. “Young people have always been secretive,” says one communication expert. “It used to be
passing notes under the desk in class. It’s a way of keeping in touch and keeping adults in the dark.”

There isn’t only one IM language, either. Young people in every country have developed their own lingo, mainly

based on sounds. For example, the Spanish - word ¿que? Become K? in IM language. In French, A+ (a plus) isn’t a
good grade, it’s the equivalent of L8R (later). In Japan, teenage girls have created an entire language called Gal
Go. It is a combination of different types of Japanese characters, and even boys of their generation find it impossible to
figure out.

The good news is that the preoccupation with IM – and with secrecy – doesn’t last forever. By the time they
enter college, most young people are using a simpler version of IM language, with just a few common abbreviations
everyone knows. By that time, IM is just a practical way to keep in touch with friends and colleagues, not a way to
keep secrets from the older generation.

- 31: According to the passage, each generation of young people ______.

A: uses the same slang words their parents did B: has its own slang vocabulary

C: wants the older generation to understand them D: uses less slang than the previous generation
- 32: The 15-year-old suggests that young people ______.

A: want their own rooms B: don't like talking to teachers C: need privacy D: don't understand parents or
teachers

A: It is developing quickly B: It is developing slowly C: It is being learned by adults D: It is easy to

A: is the same all over the world B: is used more often by girls

C: is simpler than Japanese D: differs depending on the country it's used in

A: language B: alphabet C: message D: IM device

Lake Baikal, the world’s largest lake, is located in southern Siberia, in Russia. It measures 395 miles of
coastline. The lake’s rocky basin consists of three depressions, which hold a total volume of 14,656 cubic miles of
water, 20 percent of the freshwater in the world. The lake is also very deep, with its deepest point at over 1 mile and
an average depth of 2,066 feet. Furthermore, scientists have determined that Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the
world. From sediment obtained by drilling deep down below the lake, researchers estimate it to be at least 25 million
years old.

To scientists, Lake Baikal is of particular interest because of its unique (độc đáo) and isolated ecosystem. More
than 1,000 species of plants and animals found at Lake Baikal exist nowhere else on earth and some can be dated to
prehistoric times. Among its unique fauna is the Baikal freshwater seal. This creature, which local people call nerpa,
is the only mammal which inhabits the lake. Researchers speculate (guess) that these seals, which have been breeding
at Lake Baikal for 22 million years, are the descendants of ocean-dwelling seals which migrated inland in search of
food, when the lake was still connected to the sea. Another creature that is unique to this Siberian Lake is the omu, a
fish, which is caught by local fisherman and is considered a great delicacy.

For centuries, the water in Lake Baikal was so clear that it was possible to see down to depths of 40 to 60 feet.
First, the lake contained certain small zooplankton and small crustaceans that consumed waterweeds, bacteria, and
other material that would otherwise cloud the water. Furthermore, the water in the lake consisted of rainwater and
melted snow that flowed down from a mountain range in about 300 streams and through uninhabited forest. Finally,
most of the watershed has a rocky surface, so the water flowing into the lake did not accumulate (collect, gather) mud or
organic matter and had little mineral or chemical content.

A. three depressions B. the lake C. the rocky basin D. the total water volume
- 44: All of the following is mentioned EXCEPT that __________

A. Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world B. Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world

These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention as the bees have made their way
from South America to North America. Killer bees are reputed to be extremely aggressive in nature, although experts say
that their aggression may have been somewhat inflated.

The killer bee is a hybrid - or combination - of the very mild European strain of honeybee and the considerably more
aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain was imported into Brazil in 1955. The African bees
were brought into Brazil because their aggression was considered an advantage: they were far more productive than their
European counterparts in that they spent a higher percentage of their time working and continued working longer in
inclement weather than did the European bees.

These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities have occurred. Experts point out,
however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is actually not at all as aggressive as the pure African
bee. They also point out that the attacks have a chemical cause. A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is
not aggressive by nature. However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies away; it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim.
In the viscera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate, which has an odor that attracts other bees.
As other bees approach the victim of the original sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing
them to sting. The new stings create more of the chemical isoamyl acetate which attracts more bees and increases the
panic level of the victim. Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond in large numbers to the
production of isoamyl acetate.

31: The subject of the preceding paragraph was most likely_________

A. the creation of the killer bee. B. ways of producing honey.

C. the chemical nature of killer bee attacks. D. stories in the media about killer bees.

It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going for the

day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon became the pick-me-up
of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-called "energy drinks." These
beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy.

One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has stated in
interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink for athletes. Instead, 
the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind. In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and
other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like
chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these
beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person energy.

Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that all of
the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level. Another problem is that there are so many
things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy drinks work together.

Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all the
claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will get a good result.” 
However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the body. “We just don't know
at this point,” he says.

43: The beverages mentioned in the first paragraph aim to give consumers ______.

A. caffeine B. sugar C. more energy D. more choices

44: The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

A. one example B. the company C. Red Bull D. thirst quencher

45: According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy drink gives people

energy? (line 11-12)

A. Natural chemicals in a person‘s body B. The average age of the consumer

C. The number of beverage makers D. The mixture of various ingredients

46: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the factors in beverages that give a person energy?

In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages were generally

In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based on love, and
in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover, early marriage is quite illegal.

READING 3

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is
useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have
evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the
eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on
emotional expressions has centered on such questions.

According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the
same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal
emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example,

signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan,
Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages
north of Artie Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic
emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences
across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules. In many Asian
cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones while many
American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions
usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behaviour. From their first days of life, babies produce facial
expressions that communicate their feelings.

During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often seem to dislike
being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work at school. This is a normal development
becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more
willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check
up on them.

Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plan but should not
push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch for the danger signs: some young people in trying
to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual
behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.

READING 3

It seems as if every time you turn on the television news, you hear one or the other of the following
catchphrases of the 1990s: global warming, greenhouse effect, climate change. As it often is with catchphrases,
hardly anyone knows what these phrases really mean or how they relate to each other.

In the past 100 years, in our effort to make the Earth a more civilized place, industrial production has increased
by fifty times. Four fifths of that growth has come since 1950. This production - most of it based on the burning of
wood, and of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas - has greatly increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon into the air in the form of carbon dioxide. Carbon
dioxide allows heat that would normally escape from the Earth's atmosphere to remain trapped, as it would in a
greenhouse - thus the greenhouse effect.

When do you burn fossil fuels? When you turn on a light, or run an air conditioner, or take a hot shower, or
make toast, you contribute to the greenhouse effect. It is a by-product of the use of energy- electricity, gasoline, or
oil.

But how can carbon dioxide be bad when human beings exhale it every time they breathe? Plants need carbon
dioxide; they use it to grow. Oceans absorb it. And forests drink it in. Without carbon dioxide, the average surface
temperature on Earth would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 59 degrees Fahrenheit. In nature, carbon dioxide is
necessary and harmless. Here is the problem: in our effort to make the world a more comfortable place, people have
produced far too much of it.

Scientists have calculated that the atmosphere before the Industrial Revolution contained about 280 parts per
million of carbon dioxide - the highest level recorded in the past 160,000 years. The current reading is near 360 parts

per million. In the next 140 years, the carbon dioxide level should reach at least 560 parts per million.

We have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the air by 25 percent in the past century. Carbon dioxide is
not exclusively responsible for the greenhouse problem, however. Other greenhouse gases include
chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen oxides and methane.

43. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Global warming and its effects.

B. The relationship between greenhouse effect, global warming and climate change.
C. The burning of fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide.

D. Carbon dioxide influences the surface temperature on earth.

44. The word “trapped” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________.

A. escaped B. heated C. caught D. released

45. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?

A. People burn more fossil fuels when they take a hot shower than when they make toast.
B. Carbon dioxide causes more problems than the other greenhouse gases do.

C. For more than half a century, industrial production has increased by forty times.

D. According to the scientists, the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere has been gradually increasing.
 46. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. We shouldn’t turn on a light, or run an air conditioner, or take a hot shower, or make toast to stop the green
house effect.

B. We all know clearly about the relationship between global warming, greenhouse effect, and climate change.
C. The carbon dioxide level in the next 140 years will increase at least by two times what it was before the
Industrial Revolution.

D. Carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen oxides and methane are equally responsible for the greenhouse
problem.

C. Carbon dioxide will not be harmful unless people produce far too much of it.
