More than 80% of American high school students work at part-time jobs
__________ the evenings, on weekends or in summer. These part-time jobs bring
teenagers great advantages. One of the benefits of the work is the students can
learn the skills that will be used for the rest of their lives. When they work, they
have to manage both the job and schoolwork. To be able to do so, they must be
very organized and able to keep a __________ schedule. They also learn to cope
with the job stress apart from the stress of the schoolwork. Some of the most
__________ jobs include teaching, nursing, and police work. These skills help
prepare teenagers for their later careers. High school students who work are easier
to succeed as adults than those who enter the job market at later age with
__________ work experience. Teenagers want many expensive things: clothes,
mp3 players, trips with their friends, etc. Not all parents can afford them. And even

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Your mind’ s ability to bring back experience you have had is your memory.
There are two kinds of remembering, recall and recognition. For instance, you may
not be able to recall the poem you read yesterday, but if you see it again, you will
know it instantly because you recognize it.
Some few people have “total recall”, often spoken of as photographic
memory. A person with total recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read
only once. This is very unusual, however, and most people have difficulty in
remembering even the names they heard the day before. This is not because most
people have a lack of the ability to remember, but because they had not paid much
attention to what they heard. They felt no personal reasons to remember. Having a
personal reason for remembering is one of the most important factors in a good
memory.
When you have strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you read or
listen, and try to connect the new information to things you already know. A detail
is easy to remember when it fits into a whole that makes sense. If you understand
the entire history lesson before you try to remember particular dates, your memory
may surprise you.

A. can be found in mental hospitals
B. can only remember things if he looks at a photograph

Tet in Viet Nam starts with the first new moon, usually in late January or early
February. The celebrations usually last for three days. The Vietnamese celebrate
Tet with family gatherings, wonderful foods and lion dances. Let’s take a look at
some of the traditions linked to Tet, the most popular festival in Viet Nam. Red is a
bright, happy color that keeps away bad spirits. That’s why people decorate their
homes with red and yellow to bring good luck for the next year. Also, parents and
grandparents give children special lucky money in red envelopes.
One thing people avoid during Tet is sweeping the house. Before Tet, the
Vietnamese clean their houses to clear out any bad luck from the previous year.
People finish cleaning before New Year’s Day because they believe you’ll brush
away your good luck if you sweep the house during Tet. People also buy branches
of apricot blossom or peach blossom, which symbolize a long time, to decorate
their houses.
Traditionally, people travel back to their hometowns to celebrate Tet with their
family. During their stay, they visit relatives and have large meals together. They
wear colorful new clothes to bring them good luck for the coming new year. They
also visit flower fairs and calligraphy markets where calligraphers can write poems

Practical stress management can help students deal with their worries and
become more productive, competent and efficient. First of all, students must be

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 difficult things young people face when they want to travel
is lack of funds. During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able
to take on part-time jobs, but the money they make is just a drop in the bucket of
what they need to travel far away. For example, traveling to Australia from Viet
Nam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of students
wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.
For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular,
however, they are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays, these
two countries are well-known for offering them. When a young person signs up to
get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either
place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a
job awaits where he can earn some money.
Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking up fruit or
working in a busy pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more
experience that most people are unlikely to have such as being in a certificated
welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn’t discourage you, though,
because there is always something to be found if you search hard enough
There are many websites that advertise working holidays in holidays in
Australia and New Zealand. If you have the courage and are looking for a way to
make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket you were looking
for.
