b Read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer.

The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem Doctors think that the annual medical cost for lung cancer ,heart disease , and other illnesses connected to smoking is between 12 and 35 million pounds

And smoking costs society money in other ways Between 27 and 61 billion pounds are spent each year on sick dayswhen people don’t go to work , on wages that you don’t get when you don’t go to work , and on work lost at the company whenyou are sick

This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes This does not countfire started by cigarettes , which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and injure another four thousand Smoking costs every man ,woman and child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages When you add another fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost , that come to one hundred and sixty tofour hundred and ten pounds If everyone stopped smoking , a family of four could have up to one thousand six hundred andforty pounds a year more

Smoking will also cause other problems People who don’t smoke will live longer , and so they will take money fromthe government when they are older But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes

In the end , the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds The good health of the people is the true value for usall

A would have more money

B would live longer

C would have less money

b read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer below

It is not true that British talk about the weather more than any other nation In many parts of the world the weatherholds just as much fascination Parts of the fascination arises because the weather in many parts of the world is very difficult toforecast Because Britain is an island sandwiches between a large continent and a large ocean, slight changes in direction ofwinds in the Atlantic or movements in areas of high or low pressure can make a major difference to our weather

Most of the time our weather is unremarkable But in the last few years weather patterns have been causing so muchtrouble that it raises the question : Is the weather changing to such an extent that it amounts to a change in the climate?

It is a question that is very difficult to answer The daily and weekly variations in weather are so great that it takesyears of careful measurement to detect changes in the average weather from year to year And to detect changes in the climateinvolves the worldwide application of a whole number of scientific investigations

However , looking at the distant past an estimating what may happen in the future based on theoretical possibilities , Itseems there are two possibilities The world could be slipping back towards another Ice Age But in the shorter term what man

is doing may well lead to a heating up of the planet which could delay , if not prevent any forthcoming Ice Age

It is sudden and unexpected weather which makes people wonder what is happening to our climate -like the once - in - alifetime experience of the vicious storm which swept southern England in autumn 1987 The southern states of the USA areused to such storm , the southern part of Britain isn’t And when literally millions of trees were uprooted and millions ofpounds worth of damage was done to houses ,farms and businesses, people wondered just what was going on It was probablythe worst storm in Southeast Britain for some 300 years

1 People are more interested in the weather in places where

A the weather changes often

B weather forecasts may be wrong

C the sea affects the climate

Trang 26

D the wind makes a big difference

2 It is very difficult for scientists to discover

A how great the weather changes are

B if the weather is getting worse

C if the climate is changing

D what causes so many changes

3 Scientists now think that

A it is impossible to say what the weather will be like

B in the future the weather will be the same as in the past

C it will become hotter all over the world

D the world will certainly be covered with ice

4 What does the storm of 1987 show us ?

A Storm can be very damaging to trees and property

B Britain’s climate is becoming more like that of the USA

C We no longer know what weather to expect

D The climate in Southeast Britain has been getting worse for 300 years

b read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer below

Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time : Ifcorrected too much , he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses andthe language those around him use Bit by bit , he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s Inthe same way , children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to walk, run, climb, whistle,ride a bicycle - compare their own performances with those of more skilled people , and slowly make the needed changes But

in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself , let alone correct them We do it all for him Weact as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him , or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him do it himself Let him work out , with the help of other children if hewants it , what this word says , what the answer is to that problem ,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not

If it is a matter or right answer , as it may be in mathematics or science , give him the answer book Let him correcthis own papers Why should our teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells usthat he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades , exams, marks Let us throw them allout , and let the children learn what all educated persons must some days learn , how to measure their own understanding , how

to know what they know or do not know

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they askfor it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world

as complicated as rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say , ‘but suppose they fail to learn somethingessential , they will go out into the world and learn it

There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece The one most widely accepted today

is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual The argument for this view goes as follows In thebeginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and

they sought through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers Those measures which

(5)appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals.Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites As time passed some rituals wereabandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theaterbecause music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used Furthermore, a suitable site had to be (10)provided for performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made

between the "acting area" and the "auditorium." In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and

mimed the desired effect-success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun-as an actor might.(15)Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities Another theory traces thetheater's origin from the human interest in storytelling According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or otherfeats) are gradually elaborated at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and thenthrough the assumption of each of the roles by a different person A closely related theory traces theater to thosedances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds
