Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had to recover from the

low level of development and significantly reducing poverty.

international integration. They have moved to implement the structural reforms needed to modernize the
economy and to produce more competitive, export-driven industries. .

economic regime. Vietnam's exports to the US doubled in 2002 and again in 2003.
Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following over a decade long
negotiation process. This should provide ail important boost to the economy and should help to ensure the
continuation of liberalizing reforms.
Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labor force that is growing by more than one
million people every year. Vietnamese authorities have tightened monetary and fiscal policies to stem high
inflation. Hanoi is targeting an economic growth rate of 7.5-8% during the next five years.

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question.( 2đ)
Computer programmer David Jones earns £ 35, 000 a year designing new computer games, yet he
can't find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years,
until he is 18.
The 16-year-old boy works for a firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his
age is finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each
month.
But David's highest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned by inventing new
programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he can't drive a car, take out a
mortage, or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father
is a bus driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back
every day because David can't drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with
six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop." I got the job because the people who run the firm
knew I had already written some programs," he said. David added:" I would like to earn a million and suppose
early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear,"

Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language"
of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is
important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States,
people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the
handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or
shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a
half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable
when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person
by accident, they say, "Pardon me." or "Excuse me." Americans like to look the other person in the eyes
when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But
when you are stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well
done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show
you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all
right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index
finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them. Learning a
culture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do, the safest thing to do is to
smile.
36. From the passage we can learn that •
a. gestures don't mean anything while talking
b. gestures can help us to express ourselves
c. American people often use body language in communication
 d. It's confusing to understand a culture's body language
37. If you are introduced to a stranger from the USA, you should .
a. greet him with a hug b. place a hand on his shoulder
c. shake his hand weakly d. shake his hand firmly
38 American people often .
a. show their friendship by touching each other
b. face each other directly when they are talking
c. say "Pardon me." to each other when they are talking
d. get uncomfortable when you stand or sit too close to them
39. When your friend give you a thumbs-up, he, in fact, .
a. shows his rudeness to you b. shows his anger to you
c. expresses his satisfaction to you d. expresses his worries about you
40 Which of the following is NOT true about the culture of the United States?
a. It's impolite to look the other person in the eyes while talking.
b. It's rude to look at the other person for a long time.
c. Pointing at someone is usually considered rude.
d. It's all right to raise your hand slightly when you want to attract the
waiter's attention.

V. Read the passage below carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D:
In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around for
a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells becoming
smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy. A solar car is a vehicle powered by
photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into electrical energy. As a
source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth of one second (.001), the sun
emits enough energy to fulfill our planet's energy needs for the next 5,000 years. It is a staggering fact, and an
exciting one. Since the energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources such as wind, tides, and
heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the entire energy crisis. Despite
the appearance that solar energy may be the least feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel
propositions, new solar powered devices and more specifically solar powered cars are beginning to be
developed. How do Solar. Cars work?
The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight. This action generates heat, which the cells then
convert into electrical energy and stores in an on-board battery. This process of conversion is called the
photovoltaic effect. Not surprisingly, such a vehicle has zero emissions, and is very environmentally friendly.
Unfortunately, at the moment photovoltaic cells are extremely inefficient, yet as time progresses the efficiency
of these cells will grow. This will make solar energy and solar cars the fuel and car of the future-a closer
reality.
41. According to the text, .
A. up to now, we have designed some solar cars B. solar cars have been very .popular for many years
C. we have not produced any solar cars yet D. solar cars are not as much appreciated as other kinds of car
42. A solar car is supplied power from .
A. gas B. petrol C. photovoltaic cells D. electricity
43. Which can not help us to solve the problem of energy crisis?
A. wind B. tide C. the sun D. heat from the moon
44. According to the text,
A. no powered solar devices have been developed so far
B. besides solar car, we have also developed solar powered device
C. solar energy plans are more feasible than wind energy plans
D. tide can supply more energy than the sun
45. The photovoltaic effect is .
A. the process of operating a solar car
B. the process of absorbing photons from the sun
C. the developing of solar cars and solar powered devices
D. the converting of heat from the sun into electricity
VI. Choose the correct sentence which has the same meaning as the given one.

A. I have often seen her for the last three years. B. About three years ago, I used to meet her.
C. I have not seen her for three years. D. I saw her three years ago and will never meet her again.

When you first apply for a job, you might not succeed in getting it. It’s always a good idea to ask them
to explain to you what prevented you from beating the other candidates. Don’t complain about the situation,

Interviews are an imperfect method of choosing the best people for jobs, (31) , human beings like

them to advise you on what you can do better next time. Perhaps the interviewer disproved of or disagreed with
something you said. Perhaps they just glance at your application and saw something that made it easy to choose
between you and another candidate. Don’t regard it as a failure, but recognize it as chance to learn more. As long
as you don’t worry too much about it and continue to believe in yourself, you’ll eventually find the chance you’ve
been waiting for. Then your family and friends will be able to congratulate you on your success!

In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children. But this is not
the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has many other members. This
kind of large family is called an "extended family" or a "joint family".
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother's or the father's side of the family. It is
made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They live together in a large
house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to survive. The
members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect themselves from dangerous
animals and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his parents' home.
Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children felt very loyal to their parents.
Younger members of the joint families always took care of the old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family share their
earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the others help the person. As
in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help and protection.
