know it, was born in the theatre When Tennessee William's play A Streetcar Named Oesire opened in New York in December 1947, a young actor (1) named/called Marlon Brando went (2) on stage wearing a (3) pair of blue jeans and a bright, white, capped-sleeve T-shirt It was the first time the T-shirt had been seen publicly as anything (4) but/ except an item of underwear and it set a fashion trend that was to last through (5) to/until the end of the century The idea for the T-shirt came (6) from Brando himself He had worn one at rehearsals for the play The director was so impressed by the look that was created that he asked Brando to wear the shirt in the play itself Brando may have seen the shirt being advertised by the American company Sears Roebuck They had decided to market the shirt (7) as a fashionable garment in its (8) own right, rather than just something to be worn (9) for warmth beneath a denim workshirt (10) or an army uniform It was Brando, however, who popularized it, especially with the release of the film version of Streetcar in 1951 A short leather jacket completed the look that was to be adopted by teenage rebels in many countries for decades afterwards BÀI TẬP VỀ ĐỌC HIỂU - READING COMPREHENSION: Exercise Choose from A, B, C, or D the one that best answers each of the questions in the following passage Several hundred million years ago, plants similar to modern ferns covered vast stretches of the land Some were as large as trees, with giant fronds bunched at the top of trunks as straight as pillars Others were the size of bushes and formed thickets of undergrowth Still others lived in the shade of giant club mosses and horsetails along the edges of swampy lagoons where giant amphibians swam A great number of these plants were true ferns, reproducing themselves without fruits or seeds Others had only the appearance of ferns Their leaves had organs of sexual reproduction and produced seeds Although their “flowers” did not have corollas, these false ferns (today completely extinct) ushered in the era of flowering plants Traces of these floras of the earliest times have been preserved in the form of fossils Such traces are most commonly found in shale and sandstone rocks wedged between coal beds Today only tropical forests bear living proof of the ancient greatness of ferns The species that grow there are no longer those of the Carboniferous period, but their variety and vast numbers, and the great size of some, remind us of the time when ferns ruled the plant kingdom What does the passage mainly discuss? A Plant reproduction B How to locate fossils C An ancient form of plant life D Tropical plant life The word “Others” refers to _ A plants B pillars C trees D fronds Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of the plants described in the passage?
