passage carefully and choose the correct answer Between the Revolutionary period and the World War I, the United States post office was set out to improve transportation of the post office mails From those early days to the present, the post office has helped develop and subsidize every new mode transportation in the United States Transportation has been the most important element in mail delivery Even when the general public had still suspected of the security of a new means of transportation, the post office experimented with inventions that offered potential for moving the mail faster, occasionally suffering embarrassment, ridicule, or even abuse in the process As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat, railroad, automobile, and airplane, with intermediate and overlapping use of balloons, and helicopters, post office mail contracts ensured the income necessary to build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that eventually spanned the continent By the turn of the 19 th century, the U.S Post Office had purchased a number of stagecoaches for operation on the nation’s better post roads – a post road being any road on which the mail travels – and continued to encourage new designs to improve passenger comfort and carry mail safely The passage is about A transportation of the Post Office in the US B the Post Office in the

The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems The chemical pollution from theses fuorocrabons can account for Teacher : Bui Duy Phong – Tang Bat Ho High school some of the ozone losses that have been reported There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer We'll go into that new study more next time 1: Who is the most likely speaker? A A mechanic B A professor C A doctor D A chemist 2: What is the speaker's main topic? A Fluorocarbons and ozone layer B Ultraviolet C Air-conditioning systems D The uses of spray cans 3: What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer? A Providing fluorocarbons B Shielding the sun C Protecting the earth D Destroying chemicals 4: What is the ozone layer made of? A Ultraviolet light B Shields C Oxygen D Fluorocarbons 5: What will the speaker probably discuss next? A The make-up of the ozone layer B How to make air conditioners with fuorocarbons C Harmful effects of ultraviolet light D The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion IV Give the correct form of the words: .I’ll pay you double if you (get) …………….the work finished by Friday 2.We’ll have the party in the garden if the weather (be) ……….good If not, it’ll have to be inside 3.If anyone (ring) …………….for me, please tell them I’ll be back in the office at o’clock 4.If she hadn’t called, I (not know)……………………… 5.We’ll deal with that problem if and when it (arise) ……………… 6.Unless you (call) …………….me to say you’re not coming, I’ll see you at the theatre 7.Her brother (not listen) ……………….to the radio at all 8.She(not like) ……………… History but she (enjoy) ………….English 9.What birds (sing) …………….now?- Birds (sing) 10.The boy who just (leave) ……………here is a good student  ... who B whom C which D whose Teacher : Bui Duy Phong – Tang Bat Ho High school 69.
