Read the following passage about a new tradition across cultures and mark
the letter A, B, C, or to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 23 to 30.
Shantelle Davis is a nine-year-old girl in New York. On a cold night in December,
her family is standing around the kitchen table while she lights a candle. The table is
decorated with baskets of fruit and vegetables and ears of corn for Shantelle and her
two brothers. Tonight is the first night of Kwanzaa, and Shantelle is spending the
holiday with her family.
Kwanzaa is very unusual because it was started by one man. In 1966, an
American named Maulana Karenga wanted a holiday for African-Americans to honour
their culture and traditions. So he used words and customs from Africa to create a new
celebration. At first, a few American families had small celebrations at home.
Now, there are also Kwanzaa events in schools and public places, and it has spread to
other countries like Canada and Jamaica.
The main symbol of Kwanzaa is a candle holder with seven candles, one for each
of the principles of Kwanzaa. Each night, a family member lights one of the candles
and talks about the idea it represents: being together, being yourself, helping each
other, sharing, having a goal, creating, and believing. The parents also pour drinks to
Trang 4
honour family members who have died. On the last night of Kwanzaa, there is a big
dinner with African food, and children receive small presents.
Some people still don't believe that Kwanzaa is a real holiday because it's so new.
But other people say that customs and celebrations are always changing and that
Kwanzaa shows what is important in people's lives.

Read the following passage about a dancing man and mark the letter A, B,
C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to
40.
For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that
people sometimes mocked him for being overweight, and he was usually able to shrug
it off. But this time, as well as laughing at him in person, someone decided to publicly
fat-shame him by posting a video of him dancing online, with a hurtful comment. Sean
was completely unaware of it, but the post about him was shared widely, and
it prompted a wave of abuse from immature Internet trolls.

Trang 5
 However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of
women in California, who were campaigning to encourage people to have a positive
body image whatever their size, decided to take action. They put out a message on
Twitter, inviting Sean on an all-expenses- paid trip from London to Los Angeles, to
meet and dance with them. When Sean's friends first told him about the search for
'dancing man', he figured it was a bit of nonsense which would soon blow over, and
decided not to bother doing anything about it.
(I) Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the women - all 1,700 of them -
started raising money to throw him an extra-special party in LA. (II) He went to the
party in California. Sean had assumed that just a few people would turn up,
but he realised his mistake as soon as he saw over 1,000 people queuing to
get into the nightclub! Sean danced all night and the story of how he and the
women's group in California took a stance against cyberbullying was reported around
the world. (III) As a result of the event, some of the women set up Dance Free
Movement, an online forum where anyone who felt they had been bullied or victimised
could receive support. (IV) The 'dancing man' himself has become a fundraiser for
several anti-bullying charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something
which started out so badly, had become such a positive movement. He said that he
had actually never really thought about the people who posted the original images,
concluding that they must have their own insecurities, to put the spotlight on
someone else so maliciously. Sean certainly had the last laugh. We are often told that
the best idea is not to give bullies any attention, but it may be that the best way to
deal with cyberbullying is to act as these women did and be brave enough to make it
clear that we are uncomfortable with this kind of behaviour, that we disagree with
what is being said and that bullying is completely unacceptable.
