Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
If you’re new to running, or new to marathons, you might be worried about or even
fearful of the distance. And these feelings are completely understandable, given the fact that more
than 42 kilometres is a very long way. However, more and more people are taking on this challenge
every year, and for very good reasons.
Obviously, running such a long distance requires a lot of training, and the more you train,
the more your endurance will be enhanced. And of course, as you become more physically active,
your heart and muscles will be stronger, your blood circulation will improve, and you will most
likely get in shape in no time. Additionally, there are also mental and social benefits such as feeling
less stressed and more energized as well as having the chance to meet and establish meaningful
relationships with other people.
If you think about it, running a marathon is also a chance for personal development.
Everyone has at least one fear or insecurity, and for many people, completing a marathon race can
seem like an extremely daunting or even impossible task. Of course, it’s true that this is a big
challenge that requires commitment and perseverance. That being said, every time you step
outside out of your comfort zone and accomplish something new, you will grow stronger and
become more confident.
Sometimes, you can actually help many others when you run a marathon. Many runners
now combine their marathon goal with the goal of helping others by participating in races that
raise money for charity. Besides, running in such marathon races will most likely give you all the
motivation you need to get through the exhausting 42-kilometer run. After all, it’s quite difficult
to quit when you know that you are giving help to people in need.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Landslides are a significant environmental challenge in the northern mountainous
provinces of Vietnam, particularly during the rainy season. The region, characterized by steep
slopes and heavy rainfall, is prone to this natural disaster, which poses serious threats to both the
local population and infrastructure. [II] In recent years, numerous landslides have occurred, often
triggered by prolonged periods of heavy rain, resulting in devastating impacts on communities and
livelihoods.
 The mountainous terrain, combined with deforestation and improper land use, exacerbates
the risk of landslides. [III] As farmers clear forests for agriculture, the natural vegetation that
stabilizes the soil is lost, making slopes more susceptible to erosion. When heavy rains saturate
the soil, it can quickly become unstable, leading to sudden and destructive landslides. [IV]
In response to this growing threat, local authorities and environmental organizations are
taking proactive measures to mitigate the risks associated with landslides. Efforts include
reforestation projects, improving drainage systems, and raising public awareness about safe
practices during the rainy season. Additionally, advanced monitoring systems are being
implemented to provide early warnings, allowing communities to evacuate before a disaster
strikes.
Despite these efforts, the challenges remain significant, and ongoing education and
support for sustainable land management practices are crucial for reducing the incidence and
impact of landslides in northern Vietnam.
