Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often. Câu 36: According to the passage, cellphones are especially popular with young people because ______. A. they are indispensable in everyday communications B. they make them look more stylish C. they keep the users alert all the time D. they cannot be replaced by regular phones Câu 37: The changes possibly caused by the cellphones are mainly concerned with ______.

A. “meanings” B. “expression” C. “method” D. “transmission” Câu 39: The word "potentially" in the passage most closely means ______. A. “obviously” B. “possibly” C. “certainly” D. “privately” Câu 40: "Negative publicity" in the passage most likely means ______. A. information on the lethal effects of cellphones B. widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones C. the negative public use of cellphones D. poor ideas about the effects of cellphones Câu 41: Doctors have tentatively concluded that cellphones may ________. A. damage their users’ emotions B. cause some mental malfunction C. change their users’ temperament D. change their users’ social behaviours Câu 42: The man mentioned in the passage, who used his cellphone too often, ______.

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments. Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 19th and early 20 th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job. Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated. In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes. Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity. Câu 51: New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ______. A. the people who came earlier B. the US government agencies C. only charity organizations D. volunteer organizations Câu 52: It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S. due to the fast growth of______. A. industrialization B. modernization C. urbanization D. population Câu 53: The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means ______. A. “executed” B. “studied” C. “introduced” D. “enforced” Câu 54: The Social Security program has become possible thanks to ______. A. deductions from wages B. people’s willingness to work C. donations from companies D. enforcement laws Câu 55: Most of the public assistance programs ______ after the severe economic crisis. A. were introduced into institutions B. did not become institutionalized C. functioned fruitfully in institutions D. did not work in institutions Câu 56: That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that ______. A. elderly people ask for more money B. the program discourages working people C. the number of elderly people is growing D. younger people do not want to work Câu 57: Persons on low incomes can access public housing through ______.

Mozart, who was born on January 27, 1756 in the Austrian city of Salzburg, was neither the first nor the last child prodigy, but he was certainly the greatest. He was born into a moderately prosperous family where his unmatched musical genius made itself known extremely early. Mozart began learning to play the harpsichord at three and his earliest known work was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age at which he also first appeared in public. From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign tour, Mozart toured the courts and musical centres of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart spent almost a third of his short life - he died at the age of 35 - travelling. As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts. Mozart also wrote a lot of operas. His first opera, Mitridate, Re di Ponto, was performed in Milan when he was 14, and it was the first of many successes in the theatre. 36.

Despite this , the chief natural factor limitting a bear population is the food supply . Dr. Lynn Rogers has found that , contrary to popular belief , so - called garbage bears - those that visit town dumps or campsites - do not lose their ability to forage successfully for wild foods but are simply supplementing their diets with easy pickings . In fact , these enterprising bears grow faster , mature sooner , and reproduce earlier than those that depend only on wild foraging . Rogers has also found that dump -fed bears are the strongest and largest in the population . He and his crew once captured a male bear that weighed 611 pounds . But easy living for the bears carries a price : those that stalk garbage dumps are easier targets for hunters and those that visit camps may terrify - if not injure - visitors . Some state wildlife agencies capture " nuisance " bears that have become too chummy with people and cart them off to less populated parts of the forest . The removal programs do not always work ; bears release 100 miles or more from their place of capture have reappeared in their old haunts . 34. The passage suggests that Dr. Lynn Rogers is a ___ A. writer who has published books about bears' feeding habits B. naturalist whose concern is preserving bears' wild habitats C. scientist who has studied dump- fed bears D. trapper who captures live bears for zoos 35.According to the passage , which of the following assumptions about bears has been proved to be wrong ?

They can be easily shot; C. They reproduce at an early age; D. They are sometimes relocated 37.It can be concluded from the passage that garbage bears are the strongest of the bears population because ____ A. Their natural predators are not found near garbage dumps B. They can get more food by combining wild food and food from dumps C. They have been known to travel distances of 100 miles or more D.
