In the first half of the 20th century, there were mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear. An extended family includes mother, father, children and some other relatives, living in the same house. A nuclear family is composed of just parents and children living under the same roof. As the American economy had progressed from agricultural to industrial one, people were forced to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs. These jobs were mainly in the large cities. Now, in fact, three - quarters of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2.5 % of the national total land mass. Of the upload.123doc.net million in the labour force, only 3 million still work on the farm. Since moving for better jobs as often divided the extended family, the nuclear family became more popular. At present, 55 % of the families in the U.S are nuclear families. But besides the two types of traditional family groupings, the family is now being expanded to include a variety of other living arrangements because of divorce. There is an increase in single -parent families, in which a father or mother live with one or more children. Divorce has also led to blended families, which occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriage into a new family. There are also some couples who do not want to have children to form two -person childless families. 1. A nuclear family is one that A. consists of father, mother and children living in the same house.

Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals. Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and parents. Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a couple have, the meaning of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way parents raise children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the unique ways that marriages and family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and sustain happy marriages. A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the different habits and ways of doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are. all very exciting indeed. What of the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship with someone from another country or cultural background? No matter how much you love your husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural communication and respect for differences. Misunderstanding seems to be unavoidable. 1.

Rural illiteracy levels remain high, even as the rest of the country becomes increasingly literate. This disparity ( n: sự khác biệt , bất bình đẳng ) stems partly from the fact that many children.

(118) living in rural areas are forced to contribute economically to their family households and thus are much less likely to attend school. On average, children from rural areas attend school for 4.2 years, while children in urban areas receive an average of 9.4 years of education. A gender divide also exists. Females, on average, receive about 1.5 years less schooling than males. The female illiteracy rate is 19.6% while that for males is 7.7%. The country's illiteracy level as a whole, 13-14%, is comparably higher than in other South American countries. The problems with Bolivia education are not necessarily attributable to lack of funding. Bolivia devotes 23% of its annual budget to educational expenditures, a higher percentage than in most other South American countries, albeit from a smaller national budget. A comprehensive seven-year plan of education reform has made some significant changes. Initiated in 1994, the plan decentralized educational funding in order to meet diverse local needs, improved teacher training and curricula, and changed the school grade system. Resistance from teachers' unions, however, has slowed implementation of some of the intended reformed. 1. Most of the children in rural areas in Bolivia are illiterate because __________________________ A. they don't want to go to school C. they are made to stay at home to help their families B. they find it difficult to learn to read and write D. there is a shortage of teachers and schools in Bolivia 2.

As the university and college terms began, I talked to a few students about their lives. Sarah James is a second year biology student. "Money is a big.

(119) problem," said Sarah. "I can eat quite cheaply at the university, but I spend quite a lot on transport. I also spend quite a lot on clothes, as 1 like to wear things that are in fashion." Colin Peters, who is studying engineering, disagrees. "I don't spend anything on clothes," he said, unless you count climbing boots. I'm very keen on climbing, and you do need special equipment, some of which is very expensive. Luckily, my parents gave me money for my birthday in November. Not much of my money goes on transport, because 1 have a bicycle." Diana Bell is a first year fashion student. "I make all my own clothes. This should save me money, but in fact, the materials are very expensive. I don't know how I would manage if I didn't sell some of the dresses and hats I make to the other students.

(120) At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work. It was in the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system. 1. The passage implied that to go to a private school, a student needed _______________. A. a high level of intelligence B. a strong educational background C. a lot of money D. good grades 2.

According to the passage, which sentence is NOT TRUE? A. Horace Mann began raising teachers’ salaries. B. Horace Mann suggested schools prepare children for their life’s work. C.

It is difficult for us to think about such an enormous length of time because it has little meaning for us. We can. however, simplify the idea to make it more understandable. We can compare the planet Earth to a person of forty-sfx years of age. Nothing is known about the first seven years of this person's life. Very little information exists about the middle period either. It was only at the age of forty-two that the Earth began to flower. Dinosaurs and great reptiles did not appear until one year ago. when the planet was forty-five. Mammals only arrived eight months ago. in the middle of last week, man-like apes became apelike men and began to communicate with each other. Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth. During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth. In one minute, he has increased his numbers to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals. He has robbed and destroyed the planet in search for fuels. Now he stands like a violent, spoilt child, delighted at the speed of his rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of killing all the life which exists in the solar system. 1. The passage tells us that..... A. a great deal is known about how the Earth was created B. life on earth began relatively recently C. more is known about the first part of the Earth's life than the middle part D. scientists are well-informed about the middle’ part of the Earth's life 2.

Today, the giant panda's future remains uncertain. This peaceful, bamboo-eating member of the bear family faces a number of threats. Its forest habitat, in the mountainous areas of southwest China, is fragmented and giant panda populations are small and isolated from each other. Meanwhile, poaching remains an ever-present threat. By mid-2005, the Chinese government had established over 50 panda reserves, protecting more than 4,000 square miles and over 45 percent of remaining giant panda habitat. However, habitat destruction continues to pose a threat to the many pandas living outside these areas, and poaching is a further problem. Today, only around 61 percent of the population, or about 980 pandas, are under protection in reserves. As China's economy continues its rapid development, it is more important than ever to ensure the giant panda's survival. WWF has been active in giant panda conservation since 1980, when it supported U.S. scientist Dr. George Schaller and his Chinese colleagues in field studies in the Wolong Nature Reserve. More recently, WWF has been helping the government of China to undertake its National Conservation Program for the giant panda and its habitat. 1.

The WHO also sponsors programs to prevent and treat serious epidemics such as SARS, malaria, and AIDS. The WHO supports the development and distribution of safe and effective vaccines, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and drugs. After over 2 decades of fighting smallpox, the WHO declared in 1980 that the disease had been eradicated - the first disease in history to be eliminated by human effort. The WHO is nearing success in developing vaccines against malaria and aims to eradicate polio within the next few years. The organization has already endorsed the world's first official HIV/AIDS Tool kit for Zimbabwe making it an international standard. In addition to its work in eradicating disease, the WHO also carries out various health-related campaigns, for example, to boost the consumption of fruits and vegetables worldwide and to discourage tobacco use. Experts met at the WHO headquarters in Geneva in February, 2007, and reported that their work on pandemic influenza vaccine development had achieved encouraging progress. More than 40 clinic.

There is not a real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man-dominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was housework. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in soceity so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men often considered women as their property. Sometimes, they were mistreated by their husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to daughters. Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles, traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, while women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework such as washing abd cooking..

(128) According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work over 12 hours a day including working in offices and doing countless household chores without and help from their husbands. In some regions, the labor of women is not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family. Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas. Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that they are equal to men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men can, and women can do one thing that no man can : they produce children. 1/ Which is not women's role in the former days ? A. Working in authority B.

By virtue ( hiệu lực ) of that document, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN ) was born. The five Foreign Ministers who signed it have been considered as the founders of probably the most successful intergovernmental organization in the developing world today. The document that they signed would be known as the ASEAN Declaration. It is a short, simlpy-worded document containing just five articles. It declares the establishment of an Association for Regional Cooperation among the Countries of Southeast Asia tobe known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN ) and spells out the aims and purposes of that Association. These aims and purposes are about the cooperation in economy, society, culture, techniques, education and other fields, and in the promotion of regional peace and stability through abiding respect for justice and the principles of the United Nations Charter. It.

(129) stipulates ( qui định ) that the Association will be open for participation by all States in the Southeast Asian region subscribing to its aims, principles and purposes. It proclaims ( công bố ) as ASEAN as representing the collective will of the nations of Southeast Asia to bind themselves together in friendship and cooperation and, through joint efforts and sacrifices, secure for their peoples and for posterity ( thế hệ sau ) the blessings of peace, freedom and prosperity. The goal of ASEAN, then, is to create, not to destroy. The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves ( bó lúa ) is the legend " ASEAN " in blue. These are set on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border. Brown stands for strength and stability, yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality ( sự thân ái, sự chân thành ) in which ASEAN affairs are conducted. When ASEAN celebrated its 30 th Anniversary in 1997, the sheaves on the logo had increased to ten – representing all ten countries of Southeast Asia and reflecting the colors of the flags of all of them. In a very real sense, ASEAN and Southeast Asia will be one and the same, just as the founders had envisioned. 1/ The Association of Southeast Asian Nations ………………..

Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng A, B, C hoặc D cho mỗi câu sau: One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they’re being destroyed by massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government didn’t have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it’s the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore. Water is free to everyone. A few years ago, people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined be pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we’re at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now ! 36.

Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner and more economical than their predecessors , but the car of the future will be far more pollution – free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available. Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful , compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes, and trolleys. As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars. Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses, and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one- person three – wheelers, small cars, or electric/ gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by a freeway today..

B. everyday life will stay much the same in the future. C. a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation D. electric vehicles are not practical for the future. Question 35: According to the passage , public parking lots of the future will be A. more convenient than they are today. B. much larger than they are today. C. equipped with charging devices D. as common as today’s gas station.

These species not only need special measures and extra protection in order to survive, they also serve as umbrella species: helping them helps numerous other species that live in the same habitats. WWF and its partners have a number of projects around the world to reduce Human-Wildlife Conflict and improve the livelihoods of the people affected. In addition to our flagship animals, we work to protect numerous species in peril around the world that live within our priority ecoregions. Large predators like snow leopards and grizzly bears, migratory species like whooping cranes and songbirds, and a host of other species facing threats also benefit from WWF's conservation efforts.

If you dress in warm clothes, stay out of drafts, and keep dry, will you be able to avoid catching a cold? Not necessarily? Many people have believed that colds are caused by getting chilled and wet. Statistically, colds do seem most common in winter and least frequent in June and July. Observers of such patterns of occurrence therefore reasoned that keeping warm help to prevent colds, while getting cold and wet produced colds. But if this is so, how can we explain accounts for Artic and Antartic explorers who, in spite of exhaustion, near starvation, and exposure to frigid conditions, didn’t catch cold? Then, upon returning to the warmth and comforts of civilization, they often succumbed immediately to colds. Additional contrary evidence may be found in the experiences of prisoners of World War II Nari concentration camp. During the late Autumn and Winter months, prisoners were forced to take showers and then stand wet and naked in the open air. They fully expected to catch colds, to their surprise, most didn’t Doctors today believe that common cold is caused not by dampness and cold by a virus. However, if the virus is present, It does seem to thrive better in a body whose natural powers of resistance have been weakened by exposed to the cold and wet.

The experiences in concentration camps D.The effects of dampness and cold Question 32: It may be inferred from the reading that A. No one now believes that colds are caused by dampness and cold B.

Concentration camps prisoners were forced to stand wet and naked in winter Question 34: Which does the underlined word “they” refer to?

But, let’s look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill ?.

(182) Well I think you already know this : People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks. One reason people kill sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have contests to see who kill the most sharks or the biggest sharks. Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China, people use shark fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food. So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worried that the number of sharks is getting too small. That’s why many biologists think we should stop killing so many sharks, and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already passed some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the number of sharks that people can kill for food or for sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to protect them. 41. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year ? A. one hundred B. one thousand . five to ten D. thousands 42. People want to kill sharks because _____. A. they are afraid of sharks. B. shark meat is a popular food. C. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks D. B and C are correct. 43. The number of sharks in the world is _____. A. getting worried by some biologists B. being increased. C. getting bigger. D. being protected. 44. Why do biologists want to protect sharks ? A. Because they want to learn more about sharks. B. Because they are afraid some day sharks may no longer exist. C. Because of the number of sharks that were killed. D. Because shark fins can be used in medicine. 45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ? A. People like to hunt sharks. B. Laws have been passed in sharks’ defense. C. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks. D. People are killing many sharks for some reasons.

Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said no. It seemed likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now, however, most experts think that books are here to stay. There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One reason is that books on paper are much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a power source. You can read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want. You never have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in a book than reading words on a computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes. Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer to that question is no. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It will look like today's books, but it will be electronic. One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small button on the side. When you press the button, words will instantly appear on the page. When you want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story will quickly appear. 31.. The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly means ______________. A. “won’t come” B. “are nearby” C. “won't disappear” D. “are useless” 32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Reading today’s books needs a power source. B. Reading words on computer screens is tiring to the eyes. C. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely. D. Books will disappear completely sooner or later. 33. What will the book of the future look like? A. It will look like a book you buy today. B. It will look like a computer. C. It will look different from today's books. D. We don't know what it will look like. 34: The button on the side of the electronic book is used _______________. A. to turn a light on and off B. to change what you read C. to turn the power on and off D. to make the book more beautiful 35. What is the main topic of the passage?.
