1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer for each of the blanks
For 3,000 years, Mongolians have lived in the rural areas, adopting a pastoral way of
life, moving in the search of new pastures. They depend largely on their livestock for a
living and sustain themselves with what they can get from the land. Today,
approximately half of Mongolia’s population is still roaming the vast plains living in
the ger and moving their campings several times a year. Nomadic life thrives in summer
and survives in winter. When temperatures are warm, they work hard on their farms to
get milk and make airag, consuming meat from their sheeps and goats. Once winter
comes, temperatures dip extremely low and they stay indoors and survive on horse meat.
With the rise of technology, changes in the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle are almost
inevitable. While they still lead their lifestyle as pastoral herders, many use motorbikes
to herd cattle and horses. To move their homes, trucks have taken the place of ox carts.
Solar panels are also becoming an addition to the ger, giving them access to electricity
without being confined to one place. The nomads use solar energy to power television
sets and mobile phones.

Tran Temple Festival, one of the largest annual spring festivals in Vietnam, is held
on the 14th night and 15th day of the first lunar month at the national historical complex
of the Tran Kings’ shrines and tombs in Tien Duc Commune, Hung Ha District, Nam
Dinh City. It usually begins with an incense-offering rite at the kings’ tombs and a ritual
for the opening of the gates of Den Thanh (Thanh Temple), Den Mau (Mother Temple)
and the Tran Kings’ shrines. They are followed by a ‘water procession’, in which people
will carry nine ornate palanquins with memorial plaques of the Kings of the Tran
Dynasty and members of their royal families. A series of folk games are also organized
during the festival, such as a rice-cooking challenge, clay firecrackers, chung cake
wrapping and tug of war, alongside traditional performances and sport games including
lion dances, dragon dances, cheo and chau van singing, human chess, wrestling and
martial arts.
The Tran Temple Festival was recognized as a national intangible heritage in 2014.
The historical complex of the Tran Kings’ shrines and tombs received special national
relic status last year.

People visiting Spain for the first time can find it difficult to get used to the eating
customs of the Spanish. It’s not so much the food itself, but the timing of the meals that
visitors aren’t used to. I used to live in Cadiz myself for a few years and I actually quite
like the way they do things. Breakfast is a light continental affair – just some bread and
some coffee usually – eaten between 8 and 9.30 a.m. The main meal of the day is lunch,
which people usually eat sometime between 1.30 p.m. and 3.30 p.m. Quite a few of the
shops, museums and galleries close around this time, because the locals like to take time
over lunch. They will rest for a short time afterwards, although the traditional afternoon
siesta is not as common as it used to be. People eat late in the evening – rarely before 9
p.m. and at the weekend the locals often won’t eat before 11 p.m. or even midnight. This
is a much lighter meal than lunch – often just a few tapas taken with a drink.

NATIVE AMERICANS
Native Americans have been living in what is now the United States of America
since long before any Europeans came. They are not just a single group of people - there
are many different tribes of Native Americans. Different Native American groups have
different languages, religious believes, and ways of living, or folkways.
The Hopi are Native Americans who come from what is now the American
Southwest. When the Spanish came to America in the 16th century and found the Hopi
people, they nicknamed them “pueblo people” because Hopi people didn’t move around
much - they lived together in what amounted to towns. Pueblo is a Spanish word that
means “town.” The Hopi have always been a very peaceful people. Their name comes
from the term Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, which means, in the Hopi language, “The Peaceful
People” or “Peaceful Little Ones.”
The Navajo come from the same general area as the Hopi. But instead of staying
in one place, they moved around. They didn’t live in permanent towns like the Hopi.
They were a “semi-nomadic” people. While the Hopi were historically known for
farming, the Navajo were known for hunting and gathering. After they met the Spanish,
the Navajo became known for herding sheep. The Hopi, not so much.
Today, there may not be as many thriving Native American tribes as there used to
be, but there are more than a few. All in all, there are about 1,000 different groups of
Native American people in the United States, and each group is unique.

How many planets are there in our galaxy? That’s a tricky question to answer. Are
there other planets that support life? That’s exactly what the Kepler mission hopes to
discover.
NASA launched the Kepler space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in
2009. So far it has discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our solar System.
These planets are hotter than the Earth - much too hot for life as we know it. The Kepler
team predict that they will need at least three years to find an Earth-like planet.
The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is for there to be liquid water so
the distance from the planet’s sun and therefore temperature are important. There also
needs to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is as small as Mars (half the size of
Earth) its weak gravity means that it can’t hold on to air molecules. If a planet is
Neptune sized (four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity and too much air.
So size matters too.
The cost of the mission is about six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to
observe until 2013 but this could be extended. Will we be sad if we discover we are
alone in our galaxy or happy if we find that we share it with other life forms?

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about.
However, in reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages. There are certainly
many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness.
Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic,
so it is safer for young children. However, there are certain disadvantages to life
outside the city. First, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few
friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening.
Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is hard to
find jobs. In short, it can be seen the country is more suitable for some people than
others. On the whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young
children. In contrast, young people who have a career are better provided in the city.

The country is more beautiful than a town and more pleasant to live in. Many
people think so, and go to the country for the summer holidays though they cannot
live there all the year round. Some have a cottage built in a village so that they can go
there whenever they can find the time.
English villages are not all alike, but in some ways, they are not very different
form one another. Almost every village has a church, the round and square tower of
which can be seen from many miles around. Surrounding the church is the churchyard,
where people are buried.
The village green is a wide stretch of grass, the houses or cottages are built
round it. Country life is now fairy comfortable and many villages have running water
brought through pipes into each house. Most villages are so close to some small towns
that people can go there to buy what they can’t find in the village shops.

The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring,
summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come and go and each one was
completely different. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat
the some vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could only eat
things at certain times of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in
winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons.
We also made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food.
Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the
city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot of things about modern
life. In fact, in my opinion they miss a lot more than people in the country, they miss
real life.

I'll never forget my first personal experience with the strangeness of nature - "the
London Killer Fog” of 1952. It began on Thursday, December 4, when a high-pressure
system of warm air covered southern England. With the freezing-cold air below, heavy
fog formed. Pollution from factories, cars and coal stoves mixed with the fog. The
humidity was terribly high, there was no breeze at all. Traffic such as cars, trains, boats
stopped. People couldn't see, and some walked onto the railroad tracks or into the river.
It was hard to breathe, and many people got sick. Finally, on Tuesday, December 9, the
wind came and the fog went away. But after that, even more people got sick. Many of
them died.

A UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) is any object flying in the sky which
cannot be identified by the person who sees it. Sometimes the object is investigated. If
people cannot figure out what the object is after an investigation, it is called a UFO. If
they figure out what the object is, it can no longer be called a UFO because it has been
identified.
Even though UFOs can be anything, people can use the word UFO when they
are talking about alien spacecraft. Flying saucer is another word that is often used to
describe an identified flying object.
Studies estimate that 50-90% of all reported sightings are identified later.
Usually 10- 20% are never identified. Studies also show that very few UFO sightings
are hoaxes (people trying to trick other people). Most UFOs are actually natural or
man-made objects that looked strange. 80-90% of UFOs are identified as one of three
different things: (a) astronomical causes (for example: planets, stars, or meteors); (b)
aircraft; and (c) balloons. 10-20% of UFOs are other causes, such as birds, clouds,
migrates, searchlights, etc.

In Viet Nam, a market is a trading place, but many markets are not only about
buying and selling things. They reflect the life of the community. A traditional market is
a social gathering point for people of all ages and it is a new and exciting experience for
children, a trading place for local craftmen, and a chance for young people to meet.
People go to the traditional market not only to buy and sell things but also to eat, drink,
play games, and socialize. For example, if you go to Sa Pa Market, it is the highlands in
the north of Viet Nam, you can see people wearing their nicest clothes and spend all day
long at the market. They buy things, play the flute, dance and sing. This is also a time to
meet, make friends or look for lovers. That is why this kind of gathering is also called
“love market". Some other countryside markets in the Mekong Delta are held on boats.
Most of the goods are sold at a floating market. The most exciting time is in the early
morning, when boats arrive loaded up with agricultural products.

Hi! I am a robot from the year 2050. Today I will reveal some communication methods in the
future. It can be easily seen that social networking sites and social media are being developed
faster and faster nowadays. However, they will become out of date because scientists will
create a new method called telepathic devices. These devices will help people communicate
brain to brain directly and non-verbally. People’s dream to be able to get in touch without
words and send text or audio messages by thought will finally become true in 2050. Telepathy
is based on brain’s electrical activity. Although the first use is for military, telepathy will be
changing human’s life step by step. In addition, you will feel amazed when you see the fully
3D images of subjects which are created by holographic technology. In 2050, this technology
really brings higher resolution and faster image presenting. The future’s technology will also
solve one more problem of human. It is different in languages between countries. People will
be using instant translation device. It’s like a USB flash drive and it can work offline. This
device will help people who speak different languages understand each other directly and
immediately.

could cause serious problems and ruin many lives.
IAS is similar to other problems like gambling, smoking and drinking: addicts have
dreams about the Internet; they need to use it first thing in the morning; they lie to their
parents and partners about how much time they spent online; they wish they could cut
down, but are unable to do so. A recent study found that many users spend up to 40
hours a week on the Internet. Some of the addicts are teenagers who are already hooked
on computer games and who find it very difficult to resist the games on the Internet.

For 3,000 years, Mongolians have lived in the rural areas, adopting a pastoral way
of life, moving in the search of new pastures. They depend largely on their livestock for
a living and sustain themselves with what they can get from the land. Today,
approximately half of Mongolia’s population is still roaming the vast plains living in the
ger and moving their campings several times a year. Nomadic life thrives in summer and
survives in winter. When temperatures are warm, they work hard on their farms to get
milk and make airag, consuming meat from their sheeps and goats. Once winter comes,
temperatures dip extremely low and they stay indoors and survive on horse meat.
With the rise of technology, changes in the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle are
almost inevitable. While they still lead their lifestyle as pastoral herders, many use
motorbikes to herd cattle and horses. To move their homes, trucks have taken the place
of ox carts. Solar panels are also becoming an addition to the ger, giving them access to
electricity without being confined to one place. The nomads use solar energy to power
television sets and mobile phones.

The Space of Gong Culture in Central Highlands
The space of gong culture in Central Highlands of Vietnam covers 5 provinces of
Kon Tum, Gia Lai, DakLak, DakNong and Lam Dong. The masters of gong culture are
the ethnic groups of Ba Na, Xo Dang, M’Nong, Co Ho, Ro Mam, E De, Giarai… The
gong performances are always closely tied to community cultural rituals and ceremonies
of the ethnic groups in Central Highlands. Many researchers have classified gongs as
ceremonial musical instrument and the gong sounds as a means to communicate with
deities and gods.
The gongs are made of bronze. Their diameter is from 20cm to 60cm or from
90cm to 120cm. A set of gongs consists of 2 to 12 or 13 units and even to 8 or 20 units
in some places.
In most of the ethnic groups, namely Giarai, Ede Kpah, Ba Na, Xo Dang, Brau,
Co Ho, etc., only males are allowed to play gongs. However, in others such as Ma and
M’Nong groups, both males or females can play gongs. Few ethnic groups (for example,
E De Bih), gongs are performed by women only.
As for the majority of ethnic groups in Central Highlands, gongs are musical
instruments of sacred power. It is believed that every gong is the settlement of a god
who gets more powerful as the gong is older. Therefore, gongs are associated to all
events in one’s life, such as the inauguration of new houses, funerals, buffalo sacrifice,
new harvest, ceremony to pray for people’s and cattle’s health, ceremony to see of
soldiers to the front, and the victory celebration.

GIFT-GIVING CUSTOMS IN VIETNAM
Gift giving is important in Vietnam because of the significance of interpersonal
relationships in Vietnamese culture.
First and foremost, do not encourage corruption. There is a clear cut between gift-
giving and bribery. Nevertheless, it is common in Vietnam for exchanging small gifts on
certain occasions such as anniversary, Tet holiday... to express your respect, love,
appreciation or gratitude.
Gift-giving customs depend on the context. If it is a private gift for one Vietnamese
partner you should give the gift at a private occasion. If you have a gift for the whole
officer company, you should give it after the business meeting with the whole office’s
employee.
Do not wrap a gift in the black paper because this color is unlucky and associated
with funerals in Vietnam. Gifts that symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other
sharp objects should be avoided because they mean the cutting of the relationship.
Vietnamese may or may not open these gifts when they are received; leave the option
to them. You will also receive gifts and should defer to your host as to whether you
should open it when received or not. Regardless of when it is opened or what it is,
profuse “thank you” are always appropriate.

Tran Temple Festival, one of the largest annual spring festivals in Vietnam, is held on
the 14th night and 15th day of the first lunar month at the national historical complex of
the Tran Kings’ shrines and tombs in Tien Duc Commune, Hung Ha District, Nam Dinh
City. It usually begins with an incense-offering rite at the kings’ tombs and a ritual for
the opening of the gates of Den Thanh (Thanh Temple), Den Mau (Mother Temple) and
the Tran Kings’ shrines. They are followed by a ‘water procession’, in which people
will carry nine ornate palanquins with memorial plaques of the Kings of the Tran
Dynasty and members of their royal families. A series of folk games are also organized
during the festival, such as a rice-cooking challenge, clay firecrackers, chung cake
wrapping and tug of war, alongside traditional performances and sport games including
lion dances, dragon dances, cheo and chau van singing, human chess, wrestling and
martial arts.
The Tran Temple Festival was recognized as a national intangible heritage in

There are many kinds of pollution. Air, water, and land can be polluted. Some pollution
is caused by nature, such as foods, forest fires, and volcanoes. People are the major
Cause of pollution. We pollute the air with our cars, homes, and factories. Smoke from
factories and car exhaust makes the air looks gray and smoggy. Some people cannot go
outside when the air is very bad! We pollute the water by dumping garbage and
Chemicals in the water. Plants and animals die because of the pollution in the water. We
pollute the soil with Chemicals and garbage. We harm the land by cutting down trees in
the forest, especially to build roads and new houses without careful planning and
thinking.
The only way to save our environment is to think about pollution. How can you stop or
limit pollution? How do we protect our environment? Conservation is one way to
protect our environment. Conservation is the wise use and protection of our
environment. We can control water pollution by not producing as much as waste and by
proper disposal of sewage and garbage. We can take care of recreation land by cleaning
up, after ourselves and not causing more pollution. Carpooling and public
transportation will help reduce air pollution.
Recycling is a type of conservation. Recycling is reusing items over again or in a new
way. Recycling can help us conserve our natural resources so they will last many more
years.

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It
comes from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people
produce and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person
can help save the environment by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again.
Recycling can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It
takes very little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and
paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by
taking short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or
washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while
brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also
try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be
made into compost for plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every
day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more
polluted.

NATIVE AMERICANS
Native Americans have been living in what is now the United States of America since
long before any Europeans came. They are not just a single group of people - there are
many different tribes of Native Americans. Different Native American groups have
different languages, religious believes, and ways of living, or folkways.
The Hopi are Native Americans who come from what is now the American Southwest.
When the Spanish came to America in the 16th century and found the Hopi people, they
nicknamed them “pueblo people” because Hopi people didn’t move around much - they
lived together in what amounted to towns. Pueblo is a Spanish word that means “town.”
The Hopi have always been a very peaceful people. Their name comes from the term
Hopituh Shi-nu-mu, which means, in the Hopi language, “The Peaceful People” or
“Peaceful Little Ones.”
The Navajo come from the same general area as the Hopi. But instead of staying in
one place, they moved around. They didn’t live in permanent towns like the Hopi. They
were a “semi-nomadic” people. While the Hopi were historically known for farming, the
Navajo were known for hunting and gathering. After they met the Spanish, the Navajo
became known for herding sheep. The Hopi, not so much.
Today, there may not be as many thriving Native American tribes as there used to be,
but there are more than a few. All in all, there are about 1,000 different groups of Native
American people in the United States, and each group is unique.

Elephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strange. They stamp their feet and motion
toward the hills. The sea draws back from the beaches. Fish flop in the mud. Suddenly, a
huge wave appears. This is no ordinary wave. It is a tsunami!
Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves. A tsunami wave can
travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building. For a tsunami to
occur, there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become
displaced. Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes. However, volcanoes,
landslides, large icebergs, and even meteorites are capable of causing one of these
mighty waves. Tsunamis are extremely powerful. Because tsunami waves are so strong,
they can kill people, damage property, and completely ruin an ecosystem in just one
hour.
Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit. However, if a powerful
enough earthquake occurs, scientists can issue a warning or a watch. A warning means
that a tsunami will very likely hit soon. A watch means that conditions are favorable for
a tsunami. When people are notified about a watch or a warning, they have more time to
prepare. It is best not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way!

Flood stands amongst the most devastating natural catastrophes. Almost everyone
is well aware of its negative impacts on human such as loss of human life, damage to
property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, and deterioration of health conditions
owing to waterborne diseases.
However, flood can also have some positive impacts on the environment. In many
natural systems, floods play the key role in maintaining the ecosystem functions and
biodiversity. They link the river with the land surrounding it, recharge ground water
systems and fill wetlands. Moreover, floodwater often carries both sediment and
nutrients, so it helps enrich the land. For many species, flood trigger breeding events,
migration, and dispesal. The environmental benefits of flooding can also help the
economy through things such as increased fish production, recharge of groundwater
resourses, and maintainance of recreational environments.
While cycling of sediments and nutrients is essential to a healthy ecosystem, too much
sediment and nutrient in a waterway lowers the downstream water quality. Other
negative effects include loss of habitat, dispersal of weed species and the release of
pollutants such as chemicals, heavy metals and debris. These can degrade aquatic
habitats, lower water quality, reduce coastal production, and contaminate coastal food
resources.

Scotland: The Land of Legends
If we travel all over Scotland, we can see that it consists of three main parts: Lowlands,
Uplands and Highlands with their Grampian Mountains, where the tallest mountain
peak, Ben Nevis, is located.
You are sure enjoy the beauty of the Scottish varied landscape: the hills, covered with
purple heather, its beautiful lakes (here they are called lochs), its green and narrow
valleys.
The biggest and the most beautiful lake in Scotland is Loch Lomond. But the most
famous one is Loch Ness with its mysterious monster Nessie. Nessie sometimes appears
to scare the tourists but only in fine weather!
But what can be more curious and attractive for tourists
than a man in the kilt, playing the bagpipes? The Celts of
Scotland made the chequered pattern of tartan - the
national dress of the country. The earliest Scots formed
themselves into clans (family groups) and the tartan
became a symbol of the sense of kinship. There are about 300 different clans in
Scotland, and each has its own color and pattern of tartan together with the motto.
Scotland is a land of many famous people: writers and poets, scientists and philosophers,
such as Robert Burns, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alexander Graham Bell, or Alexander
Fleming.

How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but
happen in certain areas. They happen in places where pieces of the earth's surface meet.
For example, earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South America,
around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth's surface, like a
sudden drop of water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict
earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping
out of the water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water, and medical
supplies. The amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it
happens, what time it happens, and how strong it is. It also depends on types of building,
soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes on the earth each year, only
about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.

drastically reduced the cost of solar cells. Generation of electricity through wind
turbines has also grown rapidly in the recent years. So, in the near future, technology can
help us do away with dependence on fossil fuels and embrace clean and green energy
Solutions.
Virtual Reality (VR)
Remember Pokemon Go? Well, that was one of the earliest examples of Virtual reality.
Tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Nokia are spending a huge amount of money to
make VR experience better for the customers. However, with time and further
developments, VR can be used for communication through holograms, for interacting
with 3-D objects and other useful and educational purposes.
Flying cars
This sounds straight out of a movie, but flying cars might soon be mainstream. Amazon
has already started delivering goods with the help of its drones, and Google is working
on building its own powerful drones. A couple of start-ups are also working on building
flying cars. A flying car for all intents and purposes is a drone that is capable of carrying
people. There are already a handful of flying vehicle prototypes: Terrafugia has TF-X;
Pal-V has the Pal-V1; I-TEC has the Maverick LSA “Flying Car”; and lastly AeroMobil
s.r.o. has the AeroMobil 3.0.
These are just a few of the amazing technologies that we will have in the coming years.
And what’s next? Teleporting? Anything is possible!

15. UNIT 12
Read the passage carefully, then do the tasks.
How many planets are there in our galaxy? That’s a tricky question to answer. Are
there other planets that support life? That’s exactly what the Kepler mission hopes to
discover.
NASA launched the Kepler space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in
2009. So far it has discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our solar System.
These planets are hotter than the Earth - much too hot for life as we know it. The Kepler
team predict that they will need at least three years to find an Earth-like planet.
The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is for there to be liquid water so the
distance from the planet’s sun and therefore temperature are important. There also needs
to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is as small as Mars (half the size of Earth) its
weak gravity means that it can’t hold on to air molecules. If a planet is Neptune sized
(four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity and too much air. So size
matters too.
The cost of the mission is approximately six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to
observe until 2013 but this could be extended. Will we be sad if we discover we are
alone in our galaxy or happy if we find that we share it with other life forms?
