II. Read the passage and choose the best answer
The American family unit is in the process of change. In the first half of the 20 th 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 118 million in the labor force, only 3 million still work on the farm. Since moving

for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear family became more popular. At
present, 55% of the families in the US are nuclear family. 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. is bigger than extended family.
B. relatives live with
C. consists of father, mother, and children living in the same house
D. there are only grandparents, parents, and their children living in
2. The phrase“under the same roof” means__________.
A. under the house
B. a house with the roof the same as the wall.
C. a house with one roof
D. in the same building.
3. The nuclear family becomes more popular because of __________.
A. the division of the extended family.B. more divorce
C. fewer jobs in big cities.
D. an increase in single-parent families.
4. How many types of families have there been in the U.S since the 20th century?
A. Five
B. Four
C. Three
D. Two

5. A blended family is a newly-formed family __________.

Married in a Kimono, Happy in Switzerland
We interviewed Mayumi, a 36-year-old Japanese woman who has lived in the Swiss town of
Bevaix for two years with her husband-an Englishman whom she met on the banks of Lake Neuchatel
in Switzerland. "In Japan, to answer someone with a 'no' is very impolite. We almost never say it!"
said Mayumi. She is thinking back to how she kept this custom even upon her arrival in Switzerland.
'The Japanese manage not to ask direct questions in order not to embarrass the person they are
speaking with. But here, people ask very directly, 'Do you want a glass of wine?' 'Would you like some
coffee?' Well, I always felt I had to say 'yes'!"
Mayumi first set herself up in the city of Montreux, a spectacular resort town on the banks of
Lake Geneva. She wanted to finish her education as a tour guide, and she thought that she would be
able to communicate with Swiss people in English. "But here, relatively few people speak English!"
she told us. However, she was able to find someone who indeed spoke English very well-her future
husband, who was an Englishman.
The couple has been married for two years. They live in an extremely modern house in Bevaix,
where Mayumi spends most of her time. She has become a mother, and she interrupted her studies to
have her second child, a little girl whose name translates as “purity." Naming a child isn't taken lightly
in Japan, and Mayumi had her mother consult a specialist to make sure her choice of name was a good
one. Mayumi's roots are in the city of Izumo, west of Osaka. Her brother and her parents still live in
the same place, under the same roof. InJapan, tradition says that the eldest son and his wife should
come to live in his parents' house with his parents.
Mayumi certainly could have been married back in Japan. She refused three proposals of
marriage there. Her mother, on the other hand, was married before she was 20. According to the
institution of arranged marriages, she knew from when she was a little girl that her parents, Mayumi's
grandparents, would choose a husband for her.
Mayumi is both modern and traditional. She raises her children to have Japanese manners.
Her son, at 20 months of age, modestly bows his head with his hands folded before every meal.

Mayumi told us, "It is a way of showing respect for the family that provided the food. The elder
members of the family sit at the top of the Japanese family. In Japan, people who work hard to support
the family are shown respect." Mayumi can remember her brother coming home from work each night
at 10:00 P.M. "We have very few vacation days, and it's very rare to have a week off," says Mayumi.


ENGLISH 12

VOCABULARY

When her brother attended her wedding in Switzerland, he had to leave the very next day. On her
wedding day, she dressed up in a kimono of beautiful Japanese fabric.
Mayumi doesn't think about going back to live in Japan. "I prefer to raise my children here. In
Japan, education is so competitive and severe. Furthermore, my husband would never want to live
there-there would be too many new rules to learn!" However, Mayumi holds things associated with
Japan close to her heart. During her teen years, she studied calligraphy (the art of writing), the tea
ceremony, as well as the Japanese version of flower arranging. She is also an expert cook, and she
shows off her Japanese dishes to her Swiss friends who are eager to learn from her.
1. Why is this passage titled "Married in a Kimono, Happy in Switzerland"?
A. Clothing is important in both Japan and Switzerland.
B. Mayumi respects Japanese traditions, but she likes living in Switzerland.
C. Swiss and Japanese traditions are growing closer.

2. Why did Mayumi always say "yes"?
A. She learned in Japan that it was impolite to say "no."
B. She enjoys coffee and wine very much.
C. She wanted to follow the customs of Switzerland.
D. Because in Japan, "yes" means "no."
3. Why does Mayumi's brother still live with her parents?
A. He was never able to find a job he liked.

B. His wife's parents didn't have room in their house.
C. It's traditional in Japan for the eldest son to live at home.
D. His parents didn't want him to move to Switzerland.
4. Which statement is true about Mayumi's mother?
A. She refused three marriage proposals.
B. Her parents chose her husband for her.
C. Her mother was married after the age of 20.
D. She was married in Switzerland.
5. According to the passage, why does Mayumi's son bow his head before meals?
A. He is giving thanks to God.
B. He is showing respect for the food.
C. He is remembering the hungry children of the world.
D. He is showing respect for his family.
6. What can we infer from the fact that Mayumi's brother left the day after her wedding?
A. He doesn't like Switzerland very much.
B. He had a fight with Mayumi's new husband.
C. He couldn't change his flight.
D. He couldn't take any more time off work.

II. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around
them. Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be
different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli (sự kích thích về thính giác). They will
stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle(cái
lúc lắc, đồ chơi trẻ con). At first, the sounds that an infant notices might be only those words that
receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances (lời phát biểu). By the
time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced
with rising and falling inflections (sự chuyển nhịp điệu). Very soon, these differences in adult stress
and intonation (ngữ điệu) can influence babies' emotional states and behavior. Long before they
develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry,
attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the
rate, volume, and melody of adult speech.
Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues.
One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six
languages, the mothers used simplified syntax (cú pháp), short utterances and nonsense sounds, and
transformed certain sounds into baby talk. Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to
babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate (cường điệu, phóng đại) the pitch (độ cao,
thấp của giọng nói, âm thanh), loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their
facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words.
More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is
observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. In other
words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that
are necessary if they are to acquire aural language.
