BÀI ĐỌC SỐ 15 | CHỦ ĐỀ: THE WORLD OF WORK
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 1 to 8.
We've all heard the incredible dot-com success stories about Internet start-ups that became billion-
dollar companies almost overnight. Companies like eBay, PayPal, YouTube, and Google turned a lucky
few into instant millionaires. But what about the so-called "dot-bombs," the companies that didn't make
it? Who were they, and what did they do wrong?
Webvan.com was an online grocery store that was founded in the late 1990s and went
bankrupt in 2001. On Webvan.com, a user could order groceries and have them delivered whenever they
wanted. Sounds like a great idea, right?
So why did it fail? Like some of its fellow Internet failures, Webvan.com moved much too fast.
Within a year and a half, Webvan was available in eight cities and had plans to enter over a dozen more.
Perhaps counting on a huge number of future users, Webvan spent over $1 billion on warehouses and
supplies before it became profitable. But the company didn't attract the number of users it needed and
soon closed its doors.
The downfall of some other dot-bombs was focusing on cutting-edge technology more than user
needs. This was one of the factors leading to the failure of the British start-up needs. This start-up was
created to sell fashion online to consumers around the world. However, the website was difficult to
navigate, and it used technology that required a lot of bandwidth to operate at a time when most people
were using slow dial-up connections.

BÀI ĐỌC SỐ 16 | CHỦ ĐỀ: THE MASS MEDIA
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 9 to 16.
Social networking websites are growing and changing all the time. Although younger users might
not stay with one site for long, they still enjoy the concept, and a lot of their daily communication with
friends takes place on social media sites. They post photos, exchange news, post where they are having
coffee with their friends, and share their favourite music and videos. It's enjoyable, and it makes people
feel good.
Hanna Krasnova, an author of a study on social networking from Berlin's Humboldt University,
says, 'We were surprised by how many people have a negative experience from social networking, with
envy leaving them feeling lonely, frustrated or angry.' However, envy of others' perfect lives isn't the only
negative aspect.
Bullying, other people sharing your deepest secrets, and general embarrassment at seeing the worst
photo ever of yourself posted for all the world to see can all be negative side effects of using social media.
There is also the issue of online addiction, which leaves many people unable to switch off their devices
for more than a few minutes without suffering from intense anxiety.
What can you do to make sure social media remains a positive experience? Probably the most
important thing is not to spend too much time on your digital life. Another point to keep in mind is that
your friends on social media should be real friends, not just acquaintances. You should only 'friend'
people you respect and get on well with. In the end, just like in real life, the number of friends you have
doesn't matter. It's the quality of the people close to you - even on social media - that is really important.
(Adapted from Oxford Exam Trainer by Gregory Manin)

A. distinguishable B. pleasant C. happy D. disagreeable
Question 11. The word envy in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to _______.
A. jealousy B. doubt C. confidence D. control
Question 12. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 as one of the other problems of
social media?
A. Online addiction B. Bullying C. Intense anxiety D. Devices breaking down
