V. Read the following and do as directed.
Summer is coming round the corner, and you are still making a plan for your vacation. But, you don’t want to visit
travel agencies. What will you do? No worries. Travel-focused AI assistants will do you a favor.
Over the last few years, these intelligent chatbots have revolutionized the way we plan, book and experience our
journey. Not only do they spin up a list of things to do on your vacation, but they also suggest more eco- friendly
travel options. With a few simple but specific prompts like destinations, length of stay and interests, the software can
come up with a personalized list of tourist attractions, accommodations, activities and means of transportation. But the

thuvienhoclieu.com Trang 2
assistance does not stop there. Once we’ve made our selection, the AI bot turns into a trip planner, scouring the
internet for the best flight deals and optimizing every aspect of your itinerary to make sure that we will have a
memorable trip.
However, there are undeniably a few limitations. First, misinformation is undeniable due to the software’s overreliance
on the quality and accuracy of the data on the internet. Some AI-powered travel apps are known to offer generic advice
like “enjoy lunch at a local restaurant”, suggest activities that are out of season or too far apart, repeatedly recommend
the same restaurant, consistently steer you to their advertisers or point you to locations that have closed. Moreover,
unlike human travel advisors who offer a high level of empathy, creativity and improvisation, these apps are unable to
provide solutions to unexpected events or changing circumstances during the journey.
Travel-focused AI software has made our trip planning easier and more convenient, no matter what weaknesses it may
have. AI travel apps are improving as they learn, and, hopefully, they will be more useful and trustworthy in the near
future.
(Adapted from “Artificially Intelligent Help for Planning Your Summer Vacation” by J. D. Biersdorfer – The New
York Times)

V. Read the following and do as directed.
Decision-making plays an important role in leading a happy and successful life. Good decisions can lead to benefits
while poor choices can result in losses. For those who agonize over every possibility of their choices, they get
exhausted from decision fatigue. Charles Darwin is a typical example. In 1838, the English naturalist was on the horns
of dilemma – whether to get married or devote his life to science.
To facilitate the process, Darwin made a list of the expected pluses and minuses of marriage. On the left- hand side,
he tried to imagine what marital life would be like (“having a constant companion”, and “the likelihood that children
would be part of the package”). On the right-hand side, he tried to imagine what it would be like not to marry (“not
forced to visit relatives and to bend in every trifle”). Most of Darwin’s list seemed to point him toward a life of staying
single. Yet he decided to marry, seemingly putting his sober list of pluses and minuses aside.
Why did Darwin ignore the calm, rational calculus he laid out? Obviously, as social beings, we want to belong to
something larger than ourselves. The decisions we made do not just lead to good days or bad days. They define us and
determine who we are, who we might aspire to become and who we might come to be. Darwin accepted that daily
happiness was less important how he thought he should live his life, and who and what he wanted to become.
From Darwin’s lesson, the advice is to spend less time trying to figure out the best path to get to where you want to go
and spend more time thinking about where you want to go in the first place.

V. Read the following and do as directed.
Most people think that going zero-waste is an impractical idea due to the omnipresence and convenience of plastic.
But Moe has proved that a zero-waste lifestyle is easier than we think.
Moe Karl, a university graduate in environmental studies, has committed himself to a zero-waste lifestyle for about
three years. Instead of taking plastic bags to the market, he carries boxes and net bags for everything from vegetables
and meat to rice and pepper. Only in very dire circumstances does he buy packaged stuff at the supermarket. Even for
things like pepper, peanut and rice, he brings along his own containers so that he can put them away on the shelf as
soon as he arrives home.
When it comes to what has not been eaten at the end of the meal, he does not throw them away. He turns them into
fertilizers for his vegetable garden. Every scrap there is, from leaves to eggshells, he puts in a container, sprinkles in
some fungi and lets them do their work. It could get a bit smelly, but it does not matter when it is in open space. That
is his own secret recipe for a vegetable garden that not only feeds his entire family, but some of his neighbor’s as well.
Homegrown veggies certainly taste better than store-bought ones. By and large, his lifestyle helps reduce the amount
of food waste and keep trash away from his living space.
a. Decide whether the following sentences are True or False:
Question 23. Moe finished a degree in environmental studies.
Question 24. Under no circumstances does Moe buy packaged things from the supermarket.
Question 25. Moe never keeps leftovers for his vegetable garden.

Question 27. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Disadvantages of using plastic bags. B. How to address environmental problems.
C. Solutions to global food waste. D. Living without waste.
Question 28. What can be inferred about Moe’s zero-waste lifestyle?
A. It benefits both Moe and his neighbors.
B. It guarantees adequate supplies of the local food.
C. It is only applicable to solid food.
D. It gives out an unpleasant smell around his house.
VI. Supply the correct form of the word given in each sentence.

V. Read the following and do as directed.
Unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as drones, are becoming widely known in modern logistics operations.
Delivery drones transport medicines, parcels, groceries, food, and other homecare products. These drones’ delivery
operations are gaining widespread importance in last-mile delivery because of their accuracy, environment-friendly
operations, shorter delivery time, and lower operational cost than traditional methods. According to some calculations,
the operating costs for a drone delivery service are 40% to 70% lower than a vehicle delivery service. Additionally, the
COVID-19 pandemic has made the implementation of this alternative, safe and contactless delivery model happen
even faster.
Despite their speed and convenience, however, there are some current challenges of using drones to deliver products.
The first challenge is the question of airspace. The skies above urban areas are already congested with so many
commercial aircraft and helicopters that there might not be enough room up for hundreds or even thousands of
delivery drones. Delivery companies will need to prove that these drones won’t pose any threat to people or private
property. Another concern is security. Since the drones will be traveling independently, the computer system that
controls them will need to be protected from hackers and thieves. A drone controlled by a hacker is the biggest danger
to buildings, people and other aircraft. And what happens when a malfunctioning drone falls from the sky?
(Adapted from The Future of Delivery with Drones: Contactless, Accurate, and High-Speed on

V. Read the following and do as directed.
In recent years, business activities on e-commerce platforms have developed strongly. However, current legal
regulations have not kept up with reality and have thus led to many consequences affecting consumer’s trust and rights
in cyberspace.
It is undeniable that e-commerce helps consumers buy and sell faster, easier, and more conveniently, but it also poses
many risks to consumers, such as the leak of personal information for online fraud, the purchase of fake or counterfeit
goods, and the extension of time in processing complaints. The main forms of violation are related to the sale of goods

thuvienhoclieu.com Trang 16
online, with sellers using the brands’ official images and videos for advertising. However, the goods delivered to
consumers are different or not as advertised, sometimes they have poor quality or have already been used. In these
cases, asking for compensation from sellers is like looking for a needle in a haystack, because sellers don’t list the
store with a specific address or phone number.
Việt Nam is predicted to become the fastest growing e-commerce market in ASEAN by 2026. Consumer rights
protection online is placed as a focus amid the e-commerce boom. First, it is important to develop and complete
regulations guiding the implementation of the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights, particularly in cyberspace.
Moreover, it is also necessary to improve the consumers’ capacity to get their rights protected through communication
activities. They will know how to protect themselves against fraudsters and scammers. The active participation of
businesses is also needed as they are a more important subject in the consumer protection process. Enterprises must be
aware of their roles in protecting consumer rights and ensuring consumers access safe and affordable products and
services. Last but not least, functional agencies need to strengthen coordination in order to enhance inspection,
examination, and detection efforts and promptly handle those who produce, trade, advertise, and distribute counterfeit
or low-quality goods, while also promoting institutional improvements to better protect consumer rights.
(Adapted from www.nhandan.vn)

V. Read the following and do as directed.
Research on animal behavior has increasingly revealed the depth of emotions and cognitive abilities present in various
species. Contrary to earlier views that animals only reacted instinctively to stimuli, modern studies suggest that they
possess complex inner lives that involve thoughts and feelings similar to those of humans.
To challenge the preconception, primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall carried out research on free-living chimpanzees in
Africa. They laugh when they play and cry when they grieve. They experience and express joy, sadness, fear, and even
playfulness. For example, Goodall documented many instances where chimpanzee mothers comforted their young by
embracing and grooming when they were frightened. Another example indicating a level of empathy and emotional
understanding is her observation of social interactions among adult chimps. She noted that after conflicts or stressful
incidents, adult chimps would engage in behaviors such as embracing, grooming or sitting closely together, which
served as reconciliation. Therefore, touching and grooming are vital to maintaining stable relationships and keeping
the peace within the community group. Conversely, chimpanzees deprived of normal living environments and social

thuvienhoclieu.com Trang 20
interaction often succumb to depression and other emotional illnesses, from which many never fully recover. As
intelligent social animals, they suffer intensely from isolation.
By and large, Jane Goodall’s observations have highlighted the importance of recognizing and respecting the
emotional lives of chimpanzees and other non-human animals. Her work continues to inspire studies on animal
behavior, conservation efforts, and our ethical considerations towards animals.

According to popular belief, humans possess the ability to think and express emotions such as anger, excitement and
happiness. In today’s digital age, however, information systems can respond effectively to human emotions thanks to
the application of emotional AI. This interesting idea is suggested on the basis that machines
can decode and classify emotions like happiness, sadness, anger and more. But it does not stop at mere recognition; the
real power lies in how they respond.
Some popular brands have used AI-powered mood detectors for customer service. Their call centers are equipped with
emotional AI capabilities to detect customer frustration or satisfaction in real-time. This enables agents and AI systems
to adjust their responses and resolve issues more effectively. Moreover, emotional AI can enhance the educational
experience. It can detect students’ boredom or engagement levels, thereby helping educators tailor their teaching
methods to better suit individual learning needs. Systems, coupled with emotional AI, are also being used in mental
health. They can monitor and offer support to individuals struggling with conditions like depression and anxiety. The
AI can detect emotional distress and respond by providing resources, suggesting coping strategies, or even alerting
healthcare professionals when necessary.

V. Read the following and do as directed.
While many people may not understand “Industry 4.0” and other technological changes, they are having a huge impact
on almost every aspect of our lives. In the workplace, technology has improved efficiency and productivity of our
work. Since the Third Industrial Revolution which began which dates back to the 1970, numerous routine and
repetitive tasks have been conducted automatically without human assistance so that employees are freed up to focus
on more important and creative tasks. Advanced software and tools facilitate the practice of working from home.
Video conferencing platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams make it possible to collaborate across continents in
real-time without having worries about geographical distances. This flexibility, therefore, has opened up opportunities
for companies to hire the best talent regardless of their geographical locations.
Additionally, the advent of the internet has brought about drastic changes in communicative methods. Through social
media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, we can not only make friends with people having common
interests around the world, but also keep in touch with distant relatives and friends, as well as stay informed about
global events. This gives rise to new forms of social interaction and community-building where everyone can interact,
share experiences and build networks.
When it comes to how we travel around the city, ride-hailing apps are of great benefit. Apps like GoJek, GrabBike and
Xanh SM allow users to book motorbike taxis through their smartphones, view fare estimates and track the arrival of
