Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 31 to 35.
When your child was younger, your role was to lay the foundations for his behaviour. For example, you
probably showed your child how to cooperate and take turns with others. Now your child is in his teens, he
can start taking responsibility for his own behaviour. But you're still an important role model.
What you do shows your child how you want her to behave. For example, how you cope with feelings like
frustration and distress influences how your child regulates her emotions. What you eat, how much you
exercise, and how you look after yourself all influence your child. What you say is also important. You can
help your child to manage and control his behaviour by talking about how behaviour affects other people.
You can also talk more with your child about the differences between right and wrong. Now's a good time
for this because your child is developing his ability to understand other people's experiences and feelings.
You might think that your child's peers and friends have a stronger influence in the teenage years than you
do. Friends and peers do influence your child, but so do you - it's just that peer influence is different from
your influence. Your child’s friends are more likely to influence everyday behaviour, like the music your
child listens to or the clothes he wears. As a parent, you influence your child’s basic values, like religious
values, and issues related to her future, like
educational choices. And the stronger your relationship with your child, the more influence you’ll
have. That's because your child values your good opinion, advice and support. In fact, it’s likely that when
your child becomes a young adult, he’ll end up with values, beliefs and behaviour that are similar to yours.

Read the text and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each of the questions
Family Life in the United States
Family life in the United States is changing. Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a
"housewife". She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the
family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much
housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the
children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening
cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is
going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife
agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband
always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and
the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many Families got help with child care from
grandparents. Noe families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are to far away
to help in a regular way.
More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister or a day-care center. The
problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some
husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new
word: They are called "househusband". In the United States more and more men are becoming
househusband every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children
better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in
their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
Question 34. This article is about ____________________

C. shopping D. cooking and washing up

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 31 to 35.
When your child was younger, your role was to lay the foundations for his behaviour. For example, you
probably showed your child how to cooperate and take turns with others. Now your child is in his teens, he
can start taking responsibility for his own behaviour. But you're still an important role model.
What you do shows your child how you want her to behave. For example, how you cope with feelings like
frustration and distress influences how your child regulates her emotions. What you eat, how much you
exercise, and how you look after yourself all influence your child. What you say is also important. You can
help your child to manage and control his behaviour by talking about how behaviour affects other people.
You can also talk more with your child about the differences between right and wrong. Now's a good time
for this because your child is developing his ability to understand other people's experiences and feelings.
You might think that your child's peers and friends have a stronger influence in the teenage years than you
do. Friends and peers do influence your child, but so do you - it's just that peer influence is different from
your influence. Your child’s friends are more likely to influence everyday behaviour, like the music your
child listens to or the clothes he wears. As a parent, you influence your child’s basic values, like religious
values, and issues related to her future, like
educational choices. And the stronger your relationship with your child, the more influence you’ll
have. That's because your child values your good opinion, advice and support. In fact, it’s likely that when
your child becomes a young adult, he’ll end up with values, beliefs and behaviour that are similar to yours.

Family Life in the United States
Family life in the United States is changing. Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a
"housewife". She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the
family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much
housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the
children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening
cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is
going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
 Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife
agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband
always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and
the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is a question of the children. In the past, many Families got help with child care from
grandparents. Noe families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents often are to far away
to help in a regular way.
More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysister or a day-care center. The
problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some
husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new
word: They are called "househusband". In the United States more and more men are becoming
househusband every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children
better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in
their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
Question 34. This article is about ____________________

C. shopping D. cooking and washing up

A. working parents with their children B. housewives

Question 39. The word " they" in paragraph 6 refers to _______________

Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Plastic takes hundreds of years to degrade, and even then, it is not fully decomposed, it remains in the
environment in the form of microplastics. These tiny particles that can measure just a few nanometres are
becoming more concentrated in our environment. Recent studies have shown that there is now 60 times
more microplastic in the ocean than there was just 15 years ago. This presents a significant threat to human
health as microplastics have been linked with cancer, reduced fertility, psychological illnesses, and birth
defects. Plastics often contain a myriad of toxic chemicals that include neurotoxins, carcinogens, and
endocrine disrupters.
A new technique was recently developed by researchers at Arizona State University that allows scientists
to detect the presence of microplastics in human tissue. The results were alarming. The team showed that
microplastics were detectable in 100% of the tissues sampled. This is concerning as it shows that
microplastics are entering the human body and likely accumulating there, where, in greater quantities, they
are more likely to cause harm.
Studies have shown that microplastics easily enter the food chain and accumulate in the food we eat, such

following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Being environmentally conscious is not all about plastic bags; it’s about making a lot of everyday choices.
People can be more environmentally conscious through many actions.
Firstly, recycling conserves natural resources, reduces pollution and saves energy. Recycling involves
sorting and cleaning up trash to produce “secondary materials” - mainly glass, paper, metaland plastic-for
reuse in products. Recycled aluminium, for example, is a particularly valuable resource; manufacturing
using recycled aluminium is 92% more efficient than when unused raw materials are used, according to the
Aluminum Association. About 40% of the country’s aluminium supply comes from recycling, but people
are still throwing away nearly $1 billion worth of aluminium cans that could have been recycled every
year.
Secondly, people should pay attention to plastic bags. They take hundreds of years to break down and
cause a particular threat to wildlife. Hundreds of thousands of marine mammals die every year after
mistaking plastic bags as food. Many animals get trapped in plastic bags and die. Therefore, people can
decline the number of them when they bring their own bags. Use and reuse all those bags - paper, plastic,
cloth - whether or not they are designed to be “reusable.” If they become too old to carry new purchases,
use them to pick up litter. And, finally, dispose of them properly - recycle them if you can.

Nha Nhac, meaning “elegant music”, refers to a wide range of musical and dance styles performed at the
Vietnamese royal court from the fifteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Nha Nhac was generally performed
at the opening and closing of ceremonies associated with anniversaries, religious holidays, funerals and so
on. Among the numerous musical genres that developed in Viet Nam, only Nha Nhac is popular on a
nationwide scale and has strong links with the traditions of other East Asian countries. During Nha
Nhac performances, there were numerous singers, dancers and musicians dressed in gorgeous costumes.
Large-scale orchestras included a drum section and many other types of instruments like wind and string
instruments. All performers had to maintain a high level of concentration because they were expected to
follow each step of the ritual carefully.
Nha Nhac developed during the Le Dynasty (1427-1788) and reached the peak under the Nguyen Dynasty
(1802-1945). As a symbol of the dynasty’s power and longevity, Nha Nhac became an essential part of the
court’s many ceremonies. However, the role of Nha Nhac was not limited to musical accompaniment for
court rituals: it also provided a means of communicating with and showing respect to the gods and kings as
well as providing knowledge about nature and the universe.
The fall of the monarchy and the decades of war in 20th century seriously threatened the survival of Nha
Nhac and made this musical tradition lose its original function. However, the few surviving former court
musicians continue to work to keep the tradition alive. Certain forms of Nha Nhac have been maintained in
popular rituals and religious ceremonies and become a source of inspiration for contemporary Vietnamese
music.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
It is commonly believed that music feeds the soul because it soothes your soul and relaxes your mind.
Music has always been the best source for expressing your feelings and emotions and telling stories.
Among all the popular genres of music, pop music has become the most popular one since it was first
introduced. The word ‘Pop’ itself is derived from ‘popular’. It was named so because it became so popular
right after its introduction.
Pop, as a separate genre, consists of simple patterns and rhythms. It is proved that the human brain likes
patterns, and the patterns that are easy to remember are more likeable than the difficult ones. Patterns make
the music more attractive and engaging, and easy and simple patterns are easy to pick, which is why our
brain likes them more. Additionally, patterns add to the rhythm of the song and its music. Rhythms make
us sing along and dance with the lyrics and beats of the music. Also, pop music usually repeats its patterns,
rhythms, and lyrics as well because most of the songs have the same themes and topics. All this makes pop
a popular genre among all.
It has been found that pop music is usually louder than the songs of other genres. It is believed that the
volume of these songs is kept louder than others on purpose. Pop songs sound louder than others even if
played on the same volume. Louder songs get the attention of people more easily and quickly as sounds
become catchier to the listeners. The louder and catchier a song is; the more attention it gets from the
audience. As more and more people listen to a song, its popularity increases. To conclude, the louder you
sound, the more you’re heard.
