READING 4. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too
quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in a way, diseases are nature's way of
keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For
example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six
months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics.

Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In
1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread
very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases
throughout history, all of them have a few things in common.

First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may
kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the
Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About
70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease.

However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days
of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of
people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims,
so it had more time to spread.

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common.
Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002 and
2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a
pandemic.

Question 1. This passage is mainly about ____.

A. how to prevent pandemic diseases. B. pandemic diseases.
C. pandemic diseases throughout history. D. why pandemics happen.

Question 2. Based on the information in the passage the term “pandemics” can best be explained as ___.
A. diseases with no cure B. diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people
C. a deadly kind of flu D. new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus

Question 3. According to the passage, what causes pandemics?
A. Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight

B. Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of diseases
C. Population growth that the world cannot support

C. give an example of the successful prevention of a pandemic.
D. suggest that there may be a new pandemic soon.

READING 5. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

In Viet Nam festivals often take place during the three months in spring and in autumn when
people have a lot of leisure time. In addition, the climate in spring and autumn is especially suitable for
holding festivals and for festivals goers to enjoy. Traditional festivals constitute a form of cultural activities,
a spiritual product which the people have created and developed during the course of history. From
generation to generation, the Vietnamese people preserve the fine tradition of “remembering the source
while drinking water.” Festivals are events which represent this tradition of the community as well as
honour the holy figures named as “gods” -the real persons in national history or legendary persons. The
images of gods converge the noble characteristics of mankind. They are national heroes who fought against
foreign invaders, reclaimed new lands, treated people, fought against natural calamities, or those legendary
characters who affect the earthly life.

Accordingly, first and foremost, festivals are events when people pay tribute to divinities that
rendered merits to the community and the nation. These are occasions when people come back to either their
natural or national roots, which form a sacred part in their mind. Furthermore, festivals represent the
strength of the commune or village, the local region or even the whole nation. Worshipping the same god,
the people unite in solidarity to overcome difficulties, striving for a happy and wealthy life.

Moreover, festivals display the demand for creativity and enjoyment of spiritual and material
cultural values of all social strata. They become a form of education under which fine traditional moral
values can be handed from one generation to the next in a unique way of combining spiritual characters with
competition and entertainment games. Festivals are also the time people can express their sadness and
worries in a wish that gods might bestow favour on them to help them strive for a better life.

Question 1. What affects the time to hold festivals in Viet Nam?
A. Festival holders’ timetable and festival goers’ preference.
B. The abundance of fruits and flowers and people’s health.
C. People’s preference of leisure time and climate.

D. Weather conditions and people’s working pattern.

Question 2. Which of the followings best replace the word “course” in the second paragraph?

A. Lesson B. Development C. Road D. Creation

Question 3. What does the word “they” in the second paragraph refer to?

A. Gods B. Images C. Characteristics D. Invaders

Question 4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT found as a common activity in

festivals?

A. Fortune-telling B. Entertaining C. Praying D. Worshipping
