"soda" to denote a soft drink In some parts of the west, a soft drink is "tonic" Such differences are usually a source of conversation and sometimes misunderstanding happens

Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works He traveled extensively and used the knowledge gamed during his travels as the basis for his early novels In 1837, at the age of eighteen, Melville slimed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to Liverpool, England His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849) In 1841 Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop
to the novel Omoo (1847) After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S naval frigate that was returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn The novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage as a navy seaman With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations However, in
1851, with the publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish Moby Dick, on one level the saga of the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of humanity against the universe The public was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from romantic adventure to philosophical symbolism It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville's popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu and pig flu) is an infection of a host
Trang 29animal by any one of several specific types of microscopic organisms called “swine influenza virus” A swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is usually hosted by (is endemic in) pigs As of 2009, the known SIV strains are the influenza C virus and the subtypes of the influenza A virus known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2 and H2N3 Swine influenza is common in pigs in the mid-western United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the UK, Sweden and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia
Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always cause human influenza, often only resulting in the production of antibodies in the
blood The meat of the animal poses no risk of transmitting the virus when properly
cooked If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu
People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at increased
risk of catching swine flu In the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes became possible, this allows accurate diagnosis of transmission to humans Since then, fifty confirmed transmissions have been recorded, rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort
The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as “swine flu’, is due to a new strain of
influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contains genes closely related to swine influenza The origin of this new strain is unknown However, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs This strain can be

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire that provides information concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news during campaigns presidential knows, these polls have become an important part of political life
in the United States
North Americans are familiar with the many “person on the street” interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location Thus, such examples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the news people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who
are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may
feel intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative
sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in
interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased
in order to elicit the type of information desired Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded
accurately
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire In addition, an interviewer can go beyond
written questions and probe for a subject’s underlying feelings and reasons However,
questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent
