X. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might help
predict earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences within a ten – kilometer radius of the epicenter of a
fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably.

Scientists believed that animals can perceive environmental changes several hours or even days before the mishap.
Animals were noted as being restless for several weeks before a Tashkent, Uzbekistan, earthquake. An hour before
the disaster, domestic animals refused go to indoors, and dogs howled and barked furiously. In 1960, an earthquake
struck Agadir in Morocco. Survivors recall that stray animals, including dogs, were seen streaming out of town
before the earthquake. In a safari zoo near San Francisco, llamas would not eat the evening before a 1979 quake,
and they ran around wildly all night.
Unusual animal behavior preceding earthquakes has been noted for centuries. British Admiral Robert Fitzroy
reported huge flocks of screaming seabirds over Concepcion, Chile, in 1835. An hour and a half later, dogs were
seen fleeing, and ten minutes later the town was destroyed. Similar stories of chickens running around in apparent
states of panic, horses trembling, and dogs barking incessantly were recorded throughout the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries by survivors of earthquakes destruction in India, Yugoslavia, Peru, Mexico, and the United
States.

In 1976, after monitoring bizarre animal behavior, the Chinese predicted a devastating earthquake. Although
hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and
thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
Question 36: What prediction may be made by observing animal behaviors?
A. An impending earthquake
B. The number of people who will die
C. The ten kilometer radius from the epicenter
D. The fact that an earthquake has occurred
Question 37: “devastating” means most nearly the same as
A. destructive B. voracious C. intense D. forthcoming
Question 38: The author implies that animals are aware of an impending earthquake because A. of
their superior intelligence
B. they have certain instinctive abilities to perceive that humans do not possess
C. they are generally closer to epicenter than the human observers
D. they react to other animal behavior
Question 39: The word “epicenter” is nearest in meaning to
A. stratosphere B. contour C. periphery D. core
Question 40: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT A.
some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake
B. by observing animal behavior scientists perhaps can predict earthquake
C. the Chinese have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives
D. only dogs and horses seem to possess the special perception that allows them to predict earthquakes
Question 41: The passage implies that if scientists can accurately predict earthquakes, there will be
A. fewer animals going crazy B. a lower death rate
C. fewer people evacuated D. fewer environmental changes
Question 42: The word “evacuate” is closest in meaning to
A. remove B. exile C. destroy D. emaciate
 XI. 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 questions from 43 to 50:
Noise is unwanted sound and is among the most pervasive pollutants today. Noise from road traffic, jet planes, jet
skis, garbage trucks, construction equipment, manufacturing processes, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and boom
boxes, to name a few, are among the unwanted sounds that are routinely broadcast into the air.

The problem with noise is not only that it is unwanted, but also that it negatively affects human health and
wellbeing. Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, sleep loss, distraction and lost
productivity, and a general reduction in the quality of life and opportunities for tranquility.

We experience noise in a number of ways. On some occasions, we can be both the cause and the victim of noise,
such as when we are operating noisy appliances or equipment. There are also instances when we experience noise
generated by others just as people experience second-hand smoke. While in both instances, noises are equally
damaging, second-hand noise is more troubling because it has negative impacts on us but is put into the
environment by others, without our consent.

The air into which second-hand noise is emitted and on which it travels is a “commons”, a public good. It belongs to
no one person or group, but to everyone. People, businesses, and organizations, therefore, do not have unlimited
rights to broadcast noise as they please, as if the effects of noise were limited only to their private property. On the
contrary, they have an obligation to use the commons in ways that are compatible with or do not detract from
other uses.
People, businesses, and organizations that disregard the obligation to not interfere with others' use and enjoyment
of the commons by producing noise pollution are, in many ways, acting like a bully in a school yard. Although
perhaps unknowingly, they nevertheless disregard the rights of others and claim for themselves rights that are not
theirs.

We have organized to raise awareness of noise pollution and help communities take back the commons from those
acting like bullies. Our efforts include building a library of resources and tools concerning noise pollution,
establishing links to other groups that have similar collections, establishing networks among local noise activists,
assisting communities and activists who are working to reduce noise pollution, and monitoring and advocating for
stronger noise controls.

Question 43: It is stated in the passage that all of the following are things the noise comes from EXCEPT ______.
A. Television, radio B. Lawn mower, leaf blowers
C. Road traffic, garbage trucks D. Jet planes, watercraft
Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the effects of noise pollution on the human body are that
_____.
A. people get accustomed to ear and heart diseases
B. people focus mainly on hearing
C. people have difficulty falling asleep
D. people are sensitive about everything around them
Question 45: Which of the following is supposed to be way to reduce noise pollution?
A. cooperation with other noise activists
B. fining people who break laws in noise regulation
C. construction of large projects along roads
D. prohibiting public transport during peak hours
 Question 46: The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. the air B. a public good C. effect of noise D. second-hand noise
Question 47: It is mentioned in the passage that when we are operating noisy appliances or we experience noise
generated by others ______.
A. The noise is so troublesome if we make it or not.
B. We feel more comfortable if we don‟t experience second-hand noise.
C. The noise have a strong influence on us, but not on others.
D. We just ignore the serious detriment if the noise is put into the environment by others.
Question 48: The word “disregard” in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by which of the following?
A. ignore B. obey C. invade D. disturb
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Noise that is experienced by people who did not produce it is called second-hand noise.
B. People‟s enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution is regarded as a bully.
C. Noise is one of the most common contaminants nowadays.
D. People intentionally make noise when they work.
Question 50: Which of the following best describes the author‟s tone in the passage?
A. Incentive B. Explanatory C. Cynical D. Provocative

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 questions.
Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis the difference between a
number of objects and a smaller number. In his book “ The natural History of Selboure ” (1786 ) , the naturalist
Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover‟s nest , and how the mother laid
another egg each day to make up for the missing one . He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of a
single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been noted by naturalists
that a certain type of wasp always provides five – never four, never six - caterpillars for each of their eggs so that
their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch . Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can
be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers of food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can actually
count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct number
of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of
times.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species – as in the case of the
eggs – or survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or from concrete
reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can “count” only when the objects are present and only when
the numbers involved are small – not more than seven or eight. In lab experiments, animals trained to “count” one
kind of object were unable to count any other type. The objects, not the numbers, are what interest them. Animals
admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to evidence of counting, nor do they reveal more than
innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by
trainers .
Question 36: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Although animals may be aware of quantities, they cannot actually count.
B. Of all animals, dogs and horses can count best.
C. Careful training is required to teach animals to perform tricks involving numbers
D. Animals cannot “count” more than one kind of object.
Question 37: Why does the author refer to Gilbert White‟s book in line 2? A. To indicate
that more research is needed in this field.
B. To show how attitudes have changed since1786.
C. To provide evidence that some birds are aware of quantities.
D. To contradict the idea that animals can count.
Question 38: The word “surreptitiously” is closest in meaning to
A. quickly B. occasionally C. stubbornly D. secretly
Question 39: The word “odd” refers to which of the following?
A. numbers such as 1, 3, 5 and so on B. lucky numbers
C. numbers such as 2, 4, 6 and so on D. unusual numbers
Question 40: The author mentions that all of the following are aware of quantities in some ways
EXCEPT
A. wasps B. Plovers C. caterpillars D. mice
Question 41: The word “accounts” is closest in meaning to
A. reasons B. reports C. deceptions D. invoices

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 questions.
Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the
demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small.
Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure
is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business
Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out
to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur". What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as
more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles.
Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In
the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now
they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own".
In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example.
But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-ayear computer software business. It was
founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering. When
Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their
newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's
cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science
graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has
200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.
Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the
business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and
old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small. But the situation is changing; there
are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead.
Question 43: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The computer is especially lucrative for women today.
B. Women today are better educated than in the past, making them more attractive to the business
world.
C. Women are better at small business than men are.
D. Women today are opening more business of their own.
Question 44: The word “excluded” is closest meaning to _________ .

 The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the planet access
to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200
different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias, however, Wikepedia is not written by
experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not paid and their names are not published. They contribute to
Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge. Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections
of writings about all aspects of human knowledge. The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete
general education”. Real popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States,
with the publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount
of information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an online
encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta. However, even Internet-based encyclopedias
like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago,
was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide
information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore, that information would be available free, unlike other Internet
encyclopedias at that time.
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the articles, and
so he began by hiring experts. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long time to finish their work.
He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have access not only to the
information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To do this, he used what is known as “Wiki”
software (from the Hawaiian word for “fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page. The system is
very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or
editor of articles. If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it or
expand it. This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes.

Question 41: Wikipedia is written by_________.

A. paid written B. millionaires C. normal people D. world experts
Question 42: The phrase “these writers” in the first paragraph refers to____.
A. ordinary readers B. ordinary people C. encyclopedia experts D. every subject Question 43:

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Broad-tailed hummingbirds often nest in quaking, slender deciduous trees with smooth, gray-green bark
found in the Colorado Rockies of the Western United States. After flying some 2,000 kilometres north from where
they have wintered in Mexico, the hummingbirds need six weeks to build a nest, incubate their eggs, and raise the
chicks. A second nest is feasible only if the first fails early in the season. Quality, not quantity, is what counts in
hummingbird reproduction.
A nest on the lowest intact branch of an aspen will give a hummingbird a good view, a clear flight patch, and
protection for her young. Male hummingbirds claim feeding territories in open meadows where, from late May
through June, they mate with females coming to feed but take no part in nesting. Thus when the hen is away to
feed, the nest is unguarded. While the smooth bark of the aspen trunk generally offers a poor grip for the claws of a
hungry squirrel or weasel, aerial attacks, from a hawk, owl, or gray jay, are more likely.
The choice of where to build a nest is based not only on the branch itself but also on what hangs over it. A
crooked deformity in the nest branch, a second, unusually close branch overhead, or proximity to part of a trunk
bowed by a past ice storm are features that provide shelter and make for an attractive nest site. Scarcely larger than
a halved golf ball, the nest is painstaking constructed of spider webs and plant down, decorated and camouflaged
outside with paper-like bits of aspen bark held together with more strands of spider silk. By early June it will hold
two pea-sized eggs, which each weigh one-seventh of the mother‟s weight, and in sixteen to nineteen days, two
chicks.
Câu 31: What aspect of broad-tailed hummingbird behaviour does the passage mainly discuss? A. Mating habits
B. Selection of nest sites
C. Caring for the young D. Migration routes
Câu 32: According to the passage, in what circumstances do hummingbirds build a second nest?
A. If there is an unusually large supply of food B. If the
nests are destroyed early in the season.
C. If the winner is unusually warm
D. If the chicks in the first nest hatch early
Câu 33: The word “counts” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. numbers B. estimates C. weighs D. matters
Câu 34: According to the passage, which of the following is true of the male broad-tailed hummingbird?
A. It protects the nest while the female searches for food
B. It is not involved in caring for the chicks
C. It shares nesting duties equally with the female.
D. It finds food for the female and the chicks
Câu 35: It can be inferred from the passage that the broad-tailed hummingbirds’ eggs and chicks are most
vulnerable to attack by ____.
A. humans B. insects C. birds D. squirrels

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE DA VINCI CODE

In 2006, Sony Pictures released a remarkable and intriguing film entitled The Da Vinci Code, based on
the novel of the same name by Dan Brown. In the film, religious leaders and professors are in a race to discover the
secrets of an organization called the Priory of Sion. The biggest secret kept by this organization is supposedly that
Jesus Christ and a woman whose name is recorded in the Bible as Mary Magdalene had a child, and that their family
55 line continues to this day. In a TV interview, Dan Brown stated that, in his book, "all of the art, architecture,
secret rituals, secret societies, all of that is historical fact." However, while the Priory of Sion did exist, it's nothing
like the one which is so central to The Da Vinci Code.
The Priory of Sion was started in France in 1956 by a skillful liar named Pierre Plantard. Priory means
religious house, and Sion was a hill in the town of Annemasse, where the Priory was started by Plantard and four of
60 his friends. At first, their group fought for housing rights for local people, and their offices were at Plantard's
apartment. The organization promised to benefit the weak and the oppressed, and to do good in general. However,
there was a darker side to the Plantard's Priory.
Plantard actually hoped to use the Priory of Sion to claim to be a descendant of French kings. Between
the years 1961 and 1984, Plantard created the enigma of a much more powerful Priory than his insignificant
organization. First, in order to give the impression that the Priory began in 1099, Plantard and his friend Philippe de
Cherisey created documents, called the Secret Dossiers of Henri Lobineau, and illegally put them into the National
Library of France. Next, Plantard got author Gerard de Sede to write a book in 1967 using the false documents; the
book became very popular in France. This phenomenon is similar to the popularity of The Da Vinci Code, where a
book based on false information or speculation becomes popular. 70
Matters were complicated when in 1969, an English actor and science-fiction writer named Henry
Lincoln read Gerard de Sede's book. Lincoln did not know of Plantard and his schemes, and may have been a victim
of the hoax. He seemed to believe what he read, and jumped to even more wild conclusions, which he published in
his 1982 book, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. He and his co-authors declared as fact that the Priory started in
1099; that its leaders included Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and Victor Hugo; that the Priory protects the
descendants of Jesus 75 Christ and Mary Magdalene; and that these descendants ruled France from A.D. 447 to 751.
All this was based on reading a novel based on the false facts from documents which were a hoax. Most modern
historians do not consider Lincoln's book to be a serious work of history.
How can we be so sure that Plantard created this hoax? Well, the best witness to a crime is the criminal
himself. Over 100 hundred letters between Plantard, de Cherisey, and de Sede, discovered by researcher Jean-Luc
80 Chaumeil, show clearly that they were trying to pull an elaborate hoax. In fact, in the 1990s, Plantard got in
trouble with the law, and his house was searched. Within it were found many false documents, most harmless, some
of which said he was the true king of France. As a final embarrassment, Plantard had to swear in a court of law that
the enigma of the Priory of Sion was the work of his imagination.
Câu 41: What does the author hope to show in this passage? A. Dan Brown
knew his book wasn't based on fact.
B. The Da Vinci Code is based on fact.
C. Sony's movie The Da Vinci Code is better than Dan Brown's book.

word for each of the blanks .
When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you do not fully

heat loss needs to be prevented, but it‟s important to remember that hats don‟t actually keep you warm, they simply

Did you know that you do not have to be a chemist to invent something? An example of chemistry invention that was
made by a non-scientist is Liquid Paper. In 1952, a divorced woman named Bette Nesmith Graham needed to work to
support herself and her son. Life was very difficult for a single mother. [1] She soon found a job as a typist, but she was
not very good at it. [2] She made a lot of errors typing leading her to formulate a white tempura paint to hide them. [3]
Using her kitchen as a laboratory, she developed a liquid that other people wanted to buy and use. She named this liquid
“Mistake Out” [4]
While continuing to work as a secretary, she educated herself in business methods, promotion, and research until she
was satisfied that the product she had developed was really worthwhile. Sometimes around 1952 she offered “Mistake
Out” to IBM, which turned it down. From 1952 until 1979 she continued to make and sell
“Mistake Out”, now renamed “Liquid Paper”, out of her home. In 1979, the Gillette Corporation bought “Liquid Paper”
for $47.5 million dollars plus royalties.

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 questions from 43 to 50.

Competition

Rivalry among business and service industries is called competition. This feature of a market economy encourages
business to improve their good and services, keep their prices affordable, and offer new products to attract more
buyers.
There are four basic types of competition in business that form a continuum from pure competition through
monopolistic competition and oligopoly to monopoly. (See diagram) At one end of the continuum, pure competition
results when every company has a similar product. Companies that deal in commodities such as wheat or corn are often
involved in pure competition. In Pure Competition, it is often the ease and efficiency of distribution that influences
purchase.
In contrast, in monopolistic competition, several companies may compete for the sale of items that may be substituted.
The classic example of monopolistic competition is coffee and tea. If the price of one is perceived as too high, consumers
may begin to purchase the other. Coupons and other discounts are often used as part of a marketing strategy to
influence sales.
Oligopoly occurs when a few companies dominate the sales of a product or service. For example, only five airline carriers
control more than 70 percent of all ticket sales in the United States. In oligopoly, serious competition is not considered
desirable because it would result in reduced revenue for every company in the group. Although price wars do occur, in
which all companies offer substantial savings to customers, a somewhat similar tendency to raise prices simultaneously
is also usual.
Finally, monopoly occurs when only one firm sells the product. Some monopolies have been tolerated for producers of
goods and services that have been considered basic or essential, including electricity and water. In these cases, it is
government control, rather than competition, that protects and influences sales. The following chart represents the
competition continuum.
Most………………..Competition……………………Least

Pure competition Monopolistic - oligopoly - Monopoly

Question 43: Which of the following would be a better title for the passage?
A. Monopolies B. The Commodity Market
C. The Competition Continuum D. The Best Type of Competition
Question 44: An example of a product in monopolistic competition is______.
A. corn B. electricity C. airline D. coffee
Question 45: The word „tolerated’ in the passage could best be replaced by_____.
A. permitted B. reserved C. criticized D. devised
Question 46: Where in the passage does the author explain pure competition?
A. paragraph 2 B. paragraph 3 C. paragraph 4 D. paragraph 5
Question 47: What does the author mean by the following statement: “Although price wars do occur, in which all
companies offer substantial savings to customers, a somewhat similar tendency to raise prices simultaneously is also
usual?”
A. Customers may love money when companies have price wars
B. It is common for companies to compare for customers by lowering prices.
C. It is not unusual for all companies to increase prices at the same time.
D. Prices are lower during price wars, but they are usually higher afterward.
Question 48: Which type of competition is subject to the greatest government control?
A. Oligopolies B. Monopolies C. Monopolies competition D. Pure competition
Question 49: The author mentions all of the following as characteristic of monopoly EXPECT___.
A. only on firm B. government control

Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.

A trend that has emerged recently is the sharing of childcare (1) __________ between husband and wife. Young couples
will try to arrange their work schedules so that they work opposite hours or shifts in order that one parent is always
home with the children. Since childcare is expensive, this saves money for the young couple trying to establish
themselves and provide a secure environment for the family. Husband and wife may also share household chores. Some
fathers are just as capable as mothers at cooking dinner, changing and bathing the baby, and doing the laundry.

In some cases, the woman’s salary is for family (2) __________ and the father becomes the “househusband." These
cases are still fairly rare. One positive trend, however, is that fathers seem to be spending more time with their children.
In a recent survey, 41% of the children sampled said they spend equal time with their mothers and fathers. “This is one
of our most significant cultural changes,” says Dr. Leon Hoffman, who co-directs the
Parent Child Center at the New York Psychoanalytic Society. In practice, for over 30 years, Hoffman has found "a very
dramatic difference in the involvement of the father in everything from care-taking to general decision (3) __________
around kids' lives.”

Another factor has recently been added to the childcare formula. The number of people who work from home nearly
full-time rose 23% from the last decade. The (4) _________ of technology - computers, faxes, teleconferencing - has
made it easier for at-home workers to be constantly in touch. Will this new flexibility in the workforce bring a positive
change for the (5) __________ of children? Only time will tell.

the correct answer to each of the questions.

Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a substance that is
harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most healthful
and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the
individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a
few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if
you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other
problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most
common food allergies are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these
allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven
months. Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine,
monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour
cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods
(read the labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins,
particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially
colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes.
This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book “Why your Child is Hyperactive”. Other
researchers have had mixed results when testing whether the diet is effective.

Question 16: The topic of this passage is _______________.

A. infants and allergies B. food and nutrition C. reactions to foods D. a good diet
Question 17: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to ___________.
A. the vast number of different foods we eat
B. lack of a proper treatment plan
C. the similarity of symptoms of the allergy to other problems
D. the use of prepared formula to feed babies
Question 18: The word "symptoms" is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. prescriptions B. diet C. diagnosis D. indications Question 19: What can be
inferred about babies from this passage? A. They can eat almost anything.
B. They should have a carefully restricted diet as infants.
C. They gain little benefit from being breast fed.
D. They may become hyperactive if fed solid food too early.
Question 20: The author states that the reason that infants need to avoid certain foods related to allergies has to do
with the infant's ___________.
A. lack of teeth B. poor metabolism
C. inability to swallow solid foods D. underdeveloped intestinal tract Question 21: The
word "these" refers to ___________.
A. food additives B. food colorings C. innutritious foods D. foods high in salicylates

Question 22: Which of the following was a suggested treatment for migraines in the passage?

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 questions

Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments. Even now, in
Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the groceries, take place every day with customers
passing their handsets across a small flat-screen device. And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments
using mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future.

What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so. It takes just
one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in counting are eliminated.
Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling money. Sony's vision of having a
chip embedded in computers. TVs and games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily and
without having to input credit card details.

And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card firms want to be in a
position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless-payment systems. But the new system
could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned. If payments for a few coffees, a train
ticket and a newspaper are made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit
card statements but on their mobile phone statements. And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies
and banks do not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether banks will miss out
and if so, by how much. However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic They feel there is reason to he suspicious
of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of the past. They point out that Internet banking did not
result in the closure of their high-street branches as was predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using
local branches. So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention.

Question 28: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. The absence of traditional payment methods

B. Predictions of future payment methods

C. Japan's advanced forms of payment

D. The increasing popularity of new payment methods
Question 29: Why does the author mention "a small flat-screen device" in the first paragraph?
A. to exemplify the e-cash system

B. to criticize the e-cash system

C. to praise the e-cash system

D. to inform the e-cash system

Question 30: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?

A. faster speed B. no fraud C. fewer mistakes D. reduced cost

Question 31: The word "embedded” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____________.

A. manufactured B. isolated C. integrated D generated

Question 32: The author mentions the case of commuters in the third paragraph to illustrate __________.

A. the modern technology of the e-cash system

B. a possible drawback of the system

C. the banks' cooperation with credit-card companies

D. the transferability of the system

Question 33: What does the author think may happen in the future?

A. Daily expenses on drinks and tickets will appear on phone statements.

B. Banks will collect their fees through credit-card companies.

C. Americans will no longer go to their local bank branches.

D. Credit-card companies and banks will want to promote cash.

Question 34: How does the writer seem to feel about the future of banks?

A. neutral B. uncertain C. optimistic D. pessimistic

III. 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 questions.
In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages were generally
arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was not
surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage.
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.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions.
Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding
continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and eastern
elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a
year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage
ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to
ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor
ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and to
welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet.
The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are
served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will
go from table to table collecting.

Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a little

prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as possible about the
company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and the services that they
provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect.

questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to
show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge. Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show

be looking and listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities,
in addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths;
arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and
maintain eye contact; and ask questions.
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest and how you
can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before the hiring: decision is
made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back from the employer within the specified
time.

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 questions that follow.
Becoming a teacher demands not only knowledge in an academic field but also a personal commitment to lifelong
learning, and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with other people. To become one of those noble educators in the USA,
one has to satisfy several basic requirements.
First and foremost, it is a prerequisite to have bachelor's degree in education. In the event that a candidate already
has a bachelor's degree in another field, a teacher preparation program is needed. But that is not all. Almost every
school in the USA understands that real classroom teaching experience is a vital part of a teacher's training. Before
taking over a class, a person typically needs to complete a training program, including working as a supervised student
teacher.
People who want to become university teachers need master's degrees. Getting a master's degree is a necessity, but
if it is gained too early, there may be concerns that the candidate lacks the real-world experience to go with it. In fact,
very few schools want to hire novices with little or no classroom experience and even if they are accepted, they are
usually ill-paid. One wise solution to the issue is for future postgraduates to start working as teachers before going on to
gain their master's degree.
Besides knowledge and experience, certain personal qualities are also required. A teacher should be positive,
prepared, focused, and most importantly, patient. Being a teacher involves being aware of the fact that learning
sometimes be hard work, even for the most motivated students. Also, teaching can at times be tiring and frustrating, so
teaching candidates have to practice being patient with themselves.
 In short, as in other careers, teaching requires a combination of qualifications, experience, and personal qualities.
Teaching candidates meeting mandatory requirements are always in demand in the USA.
Câu 36. The text is mainly about ___________________. A.
the importance of teachers.
B. the advantages and disadvantages of being a teacher in the USA.

Câu 37. According to the text, future postgraduates should start working as teachers _______ . A.
after gaining their master's degree.
B. before studying for their master's degree.
C. during the time they are studying for their master's degree.
D. before studying for their bachelor's degree.
Câu 38. The word “vital” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______ .
A. very useless B. very easy C. very important D. very interesting
Câu 39. According to the text, teaching requires a combination of many things EXCEPT _______. A.
qualifications B. personal qualities C. experience D. appearance Câu 40. According to the text, the
most important quality of a teacher is _______.
A. being patient B. being to work hard C. being prepared D. being a role model
Câu 41. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ____________.

the correct answer to each of the questions that follow.
Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking and
salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh milk, was very limited;
there was no way to prevent spoilage. But in 1810, a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-
sealing process of canning. And in the 1850’s an American named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and
preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low
because cans had to be made by hand. By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines
that mass-produced cans from tinplate. Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the
year.
Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing urban
population created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigerator
cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods.
Thus, by the 1890’s, northern city dwellers could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes,
previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled
families to store perishables. As easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900
the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox
became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet. Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were heavily in
starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat. Nevertheless, many families could take advantage of
previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare.

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 questions from 4 to 10.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of
women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote
and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet
wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary
history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great
political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was
taken of
these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors
writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings
were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their
selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping
records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women's organizations compiled
accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored.
These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one at the
Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at
Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable
materials for later Generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the
writing about women conformed to the "great women" theory of History, just as much of mainstream American
history concentrated on "great men." To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to
American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced
their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women's
right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary
people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.

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 questions from 20 to 27
It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that
today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by
this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take place
anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal
learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary
from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist.
Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a
stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People receive education from infancy on.
Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of
school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting
to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught
by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned,
whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects
being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about
political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and
undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape. They provide a place for
people to relax and play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a city. What people
often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide—a key pollutant—and emit oxygen, which humans
need to breathe. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a
typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the
Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal, concrete, and asphalt absorb much more of the sun’s heat
and release it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of
these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to
mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for
buildings, roads, parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment. However, cities could benefit from
many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens.
While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on
rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are very complex and require complicated engineering, but
others are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment of a few hundred dollars and a
few hours of work.
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban park and garden spaces, but
without taking up the much-needed land. Like parks, rooftop gardens help to replace carbon dioxide in the air with
nourishing oxygen. They also help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect, which can save people money. In the
summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce
cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help hold in the heat that materials like brick and concrete radiate so quickly,
leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city dwellers,
saving them money and making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy, they
are also a smart environmental investment.
Question 36: Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that mitigate belongs to which of the following word
groups?
A. exacerbate, aggravate, intensify B. obliterate, destroy, annihilate
C. allay, alleviate, reduce D. absorb, intake, consume
Question 37: Using the information in paragraph 2 as a guide, it can be inferred that _______.
A. cities with rooftop gardens are cooler than those without rooftop gardens
B. some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens
C. most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens
D. most people prefer life in the country over life in the city
Question 38: Based on the information in paragraph 3, which of the following best describes the main difference
between parks and rooftop gardens?
A. Parks are expensive to create while rooftop gardens are not.
B. Parks are public while rooftop gardens are private.
C. Parks absorb heat while rooftop gardens do not.

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 questions.
One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly
inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then
served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo -Saxon and English language and literature at
Oxford University.
Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals
from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II.
By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the
mythology and legends created by Tolkien.
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a
modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a
magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a
detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and
evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle
Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe.
Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with
Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story
began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves
and their language.
Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of
work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today.
Question 43: What can we assume is NOT true about Middle Earth?
A. Middle Earth was based on European folktales B. Middle Earth was a fictional world
C. The good and evil kingdom fought for the power D. People dominated Middle Earth Question 44: The
word "scrutinized" in the fourth paragraph could be replaced by_______.
A. examined B. denied C. enjoyed D. criticized Question 45: What
does this paragraph mainly discuss?
A. J.R.R Tolkien's work as a professor B. All of J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy books
C. J.R.R Tolkien and his trilogy D. The popularity of J.R.R Tolkien
Question 46: According to the passage, when did "the Lord of the Rings" trilogy become popular with young people?
A. In the late 1960s B. After World War II C. In 1892
D. Between 1936 and 1946 Question 47: When did
Tolkien begin to create this trilogy?
A. When he was a student B. During World War I
 C. When he was a professor D. During World War II
Question 48: What does the word "trilogy" in the first paragraph mean?
A. A specific type of fantasy novel B. A long novel
C. A group of three literary books D. An unrelated group of books Question 49:
What is the setting of Tolkien's trilogy?
A. Modern - day Greece B. England in the 1800's
C. Oxford University D. Middle Earth
Question 50: The word "fascinating" in the second paragraph could be replaced by _______.

Read the following passage and mark the letters A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to a
substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank
among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to them to suffer
greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact with the substance. After a
varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has
begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy, since it can show up so many
different ways. Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains
mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk, eggs,
seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not develop if these
foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months. Breast milk also tends to
be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine, phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate,
or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine,
pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the
labels!). Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins,
particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives, especially
colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. Question 36: The topic of this passage
is______________.
A. reactions to foods B. food and nutrition C. infants and allergies D. a good diet Question
37: According to the passage, the difficulty in diagnosing allergies to foods is due to ______________.
A. the vast number of different foods we eat

Question 38: The word "symptoms" is closest in meaning to______________.
A. indications B. diet C. diagnosis D. prescriptions
Question 39: The phrase "set off" is closest in meaning to______________.
A. relieved B. identified C. avoided D. triggered Question

B. They should have a carefully restricted diet as infants.
C. They gain little benefit from being breast fed.
D. They may become hyperactive if fed solid food too early.

Read the following passage and mark the letters A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
The rapid transcontinentat settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half of the
19th century were accompanied by the development of national literature of great abundance and variety. New
themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this
half century.
As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved
remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the
sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the
main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-
dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer
were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama,
and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read
primarily by young, middle class women.
In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt Whitman
called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as
peers "and expands from them, and includes the world ... connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all
nations."
Question 43: The main idea of this passage is________.
A. that the new American literature was less provincial than the old
B. that World War I caused a dramatic change in America
C. that centers of culture shifted from East to West
D. that most people were wary of the new literature
Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that the previous passage probably discussed________.
A. the importance of tradition to writers
B. new developments in industrialization and population shifts
C. the fashions and values of 19th century America
D. the limitations of American literature to this time
Question 45: The word “evolved” in paragraph two is closest in meaning to________.
A. became famous B. turned back C. diminished D. changed
Question 46: The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to________.
A. the population B. the energy C. American literature D. the manufacturing Question
47: The word “exotic" in paragraph two is closest in meaning to________.
A. urban B. unusual C. well-known D. old-fashioned
Question 48: The author uses the word “indeed” in the second paragraph for what purpose? A. To
emphasize the contrast he is making.
B. For variety in a lengthy paragraph.
C. To wind down his argument.
D. To show a favorable attitude to these forms of literature.
Question 49: The phrase “these years” in the third paragraph refers to________.
A. 1850-1900 B. the 1900s C. the early 1800s D. the present
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that Walt Whitman________. A. disliked
urban life B. was disapproving of the new literature C.
wrote Leaves of Grass D. was an international diplomat

each of the questions from 1 to 7.
One of the highest honors for formalists, writers, and musical composers is the Pulitzer Prize. First awarded in
1927, the Pulitzer Prize has been won by Ernest Hemingway, Harper Lee, John F. Kennedy, and Rodgers and
Hammerstein, among others. As with many famous awards, this prize was named after its founder, Joseph Pulitzer.
Joseph Pulitzer’s story, like that of many immigrants to the United States, is one of hardship, hard work and triumph.
Born in Hungary, Joseph Pulitzer moved to United States in 1864. He wanted to be a reporter, but he started his
American life by fighting in the American Civil War. After the war, Pulitzer worked for the German - language
newspaper, the Westliche Post. His skills as a reporter were wonderful, and he soon became a partial owner of the
paper.
In 1978, Pulitzer was able to start a newspaper of his own. Right from the first edition, the newspaper took a
controversial approach to new. Pulitzer wanted to appeal to the average reader, so he produced exciting stories of
scandal and intrigue. Such an approach is commonplace today, but in Pulitzer’s time it was new and different. The
approach led to the discovery of many instances of corruption by influential people. Pulitzer ‘paper became very
famous and is still produced today.
The success of Joseph Pulitzer’s newspaper made him a very wealthy man, so he wanted to give something
back to his profession. Throughout his later years, he worked to establish university programs for the teaching of
journalism, and he funded numerous scholarships to assist journalism students. Finally, he wanted to leave a legacy
that would encourage writers to remember the importance of quality. On his death, he gave two million dollars to
Columbia University so they could award prizes to great writers.
