Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

One of the most important factors arising from the feminist movement is the recognition that
women, should get equal pay for equal work, to see them as contributors and valued members
of society. Today, women are protected by the Sex Discrimination Act; however, inequality still
persists. It also reveals that the changing role of women in society by means of education as a

way to promote themselves to the level of their expertise is not working as effectively as it
should.

In most fields of employment women's presence is felt and their voice is heard. Although there
has been progress in understanding the value of women's contributions in many employment
fields, there are still huge problems to resolve. Persistence of gender inequalities show that the
proportion of women in top jobs is minimal compared to the entire women's task force.

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

seems that only a small minority finds its way to the top. Are we back to the old theme of
women raising children? Time devoted to them and the home does not permit a total devotion
to a .top job. The majority of women who are successful, either do not have a family or rely
heavily on grandmothers. Other women find part-time more accommodating to their need or
choice of life.

36. Thanks to the Sex Discrimination Act, women can get the real equality with men.
a. True b. False c. No information

37. Education has changed women's roles quite effectively.

a. True b. False c. No information

38. Women who have got the best qualified jobs are always paid as much as men are.
a. True b. False c. No information

(43) _____. However, in practice, there is no real equality for women's active participation in

woman's domain. (45) _____ the fact that birthrates in many countries have been falling,
children are obstacles in the labor force. It is understandable that women decide to (46) _____
having children later or do not have children at all. Women comprise 54 percent of

contemporary society. However, the number of women taking part in the country's political,
economic and civic life shows that women are restricted in the fields of politics and government.
Women's salaries are on (47) ____ lower than men's, and women are often victims of violence
and unemployment. According to United Nations Gender Organization data, 67 percent of those

Choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Until the 19th_{century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and}

drew little attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and
economic resources that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women
generally accepted their inferior status as their only option. At this time, women shared these
disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political

rights were restricted to the wealthy elite [phần tử ưu tú]. In the 19th_{century, as governments in}

Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equality among men,
significant numbers of women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded
equal rights as well.

At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the
roles of men and women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or
crafts-making, both of which took place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided
the numerous tasks among themselves and their children. Industrialization led male workers to
seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale

[extensivve]enterprises. The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that
women’s “rightful place” was in the home, while men belonged in the public world of

employment and politics.

Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first

wave began around the mid-19th _{century, when women in the United States and elsewhere}

campaigned to gain suffrage [ right to vote in political elections]– that is, the right to vote. This
wave lasted until the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage.

26. Why did the denial of equal rights to women draw little attention from the society until the

19th_century?

A. They could not challenge the prevailing social order.
B. They did not have any other option.

C. Most women lacked the educational and economic resources.
D. All are correct.

27. Until the 19th_{century, what was the status of the working class men in the society?}

A. They had the same rights as women.
B. They had no right at all.

C. They did not have much power compared to the wealthy people.
D. They had much power in the society.

A. Male workers tried to seek employment outside of the home.

B. It did not bring the equality to women.

C. Well-educated, upper-class men controlled most positions of employment and power in

30. What was the aim of the women’s movement in the United States in the 1920s?

Aquatic sports — sports involving playing in or upon the water — take various forms.
The main activities include swimming, synchronized swimming, diving and water polo.

Swimming is the act of moving through the water by using the arms, legs, and body in motion. It
is an integral part of almost all water - based activities. In synchronized swimming, the players
perform beautiful maneuvers to music and diving. Water polo, on the other hand, is a game
where two opposing teams play against each other, attempting to throw a buoyant ball into the
opponent’s goal.

Underwater activities are less varied, the most popular of which are snorkeling and
scuba diving. Snorkeling involves swimming face down just below the water surface while
breathing through a slender plastic tube called a snorkel, meanwhile scuba divers carry a big
tank of

air that allows them to breathe while deep underwater.

Aquatic sports have long been acknowledged as excellent ways to take physical

exercise. Furthermore, practicing them is known to produce both psychological and physical
benefits which help to improve mood states and reduce the risk of many serious diseases. This
explains why aquatic sports have become very popular forms of exercise among people of all
ages.

VI. Reading comprehension

There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known, however, that the
sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of
rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the
single Indian word for all "balls"). Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball
became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London
Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870. At
first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands. A favorite trick
of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive
under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible. The
introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo. It became a
game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing. Scottish rules moved from a rugby
variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a cage of 10x 3 feet and a goal could be scored
by being thrown. Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no
longer be taken under water. The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the
player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted
to stand on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as
players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one
man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888. The

game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water.
"American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890s was played in such
venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators
to national championship games.
