As two big tears landed on my passport I was ushered away with haste However, my initial smugness at how well I was coping that evening and was asked the questions ‘Is it just you?' or 'Is it just the one bag?’ But then I switched on the television and saw the news channels reporting the Christmas tree being hoisted above the Rockefeller Centre It felt as if New York was showing off for me I decided I couldn’t let it down by hiding in my room For those who - like me - continue to find even simple mathematics frightening, Soho is an ideal base because you are gently eased into the city via streets that have actual names, not just numbers By now I was starting to feel relaxed but still had a nagging awareness that I hadn’t yet made it to the New York of the movies - numbered streets and towering skyscrapers Then, just as I was starting to feel a little guilty, I looked right before crossing the road and was confronted with the Chrysler Building at the end of the street My stomach lurched I really had made it It slowly dawned on me that being on my own meant I was entirely free to spend as long as I wanted doing what I wanted A quiet evening in with room service watching TV did seem appealing, but I was determined to go out There have been things I’ve been scared of, but little else in life will frighten me now that I’ve walked alone into a chic, crowded restaurant at nine o'clock on a Friday night Now high on independence, I determined to travel the world unhindered for the rest of my life Some of the people I talked to about my trip simply couldn’t understand why I had wanted to it on my own My response was that I wanted to know that I could Seven sentences have been removed from the article Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap (1-7) There is one extra sentence which you not need to use A Having been repeatedly warned about the ferocity of the customs staff, I was determined to get through with as little trouble as possible Luyện Thi Đại Học 2016 (26) Gia sư Thành Được www.daythem.edu.vn A pull B This self-indulgence was all well and good, but before I knew it darkness had fallen and I was undeniably hungry C And I was still feeling a little apprehensive about how I would manage on my own the next morning D But holding my head high, I took a deep breath and sat up at the bar, where I ordered a champagne cocktail and oysters E The next morning I went looking for a traditional New York dinner for my breakfast F I'll find someone else to go with some day G I criss-crossed up and down almost all of them, fascinated by the unexpectedly European-looking buildings and small independent shops H I set out to prove that I could have the ultimate trip to the Big Apple, even if I was alone CLOZE-TEST THOMAS COOK Thomas Cook could be (0) to have invented the global tourist industry He was born in England in 1808 and became a cabinet-maker Then he (1) on the idea of using the newly-invented railways for pleasure trips and by the summer of 1845, he was organizing commercial trips The first was to Liverpool and (2) a 60-page handbook for the journey, the (3) of the modern holiday brochure The Paris Exhibition of 1855 (4) him to create his first great tour, taking in France, Belgium and Germany This also included a remarkable (5) Cook's first cruise, an extraordinary journey along the Rhine Nothing like this had been available before, but it was only the beginning Cook had invented (6) tourism and now became a pioneering giant, striding across the world, travelling incessantly, researching every little detail before being absolutely confident that he could send the public to (7) his steps Cook was not slow in thinking beyond Europe, and he turned his gaze upon Africa The expertise he had gained with his pioneering cruise along the Rhine in 1855 (8) him in good stead when it came to organizing a fantastic journey along the Nile in 1869 Few civilians had so much as (9) foot in Egypt, let (10) travelled along this waterway through history and the remains of a vanished civilization (11) back thousands of years Then, in 1872, Cook organized, and took part in, the first conducted world tour The whole adventure took 222 days and the (12) of travel has not been the same since A dawned B struck C hit D crossed A featured B presented C inserted D highlighted A pioneer B forerunner C prior D foretaste A livened B initiated C launched D inspired A breakthrough B leap C step D headway A common B whole C wide D mass A retreat B retrace C resume D retrieve A kept B took C stood D made A set B placed C laid D put 10 A apart B aside C alone D away 11 A flowing B going C running D passing 12 A scene B area C land D world COLLOCATIONS & PHRASES Choose the correct answer If you need to the teacher's attention, just put your hand up Phạm Thái Bạch Mai B attract C capture D draw Make sure you .our homework before you go out A make B solve C write D Could I .a suggestion?

a home to industry, commerce, culture and entertainment, as well as a residential area for both rich and poor It has clubs, including the former Chinawhite nightclub; public houses; bars; restaurants; a few sex shops scattered amongst them; and latenight coffee shops that give the streets an "open-all-night" feel at the weekends Record shops cluster in the area around Berwick Street, with shops such as Blackmarket Records and Vinyl Junkies.On many weekends, Soho is busy enough to warrant closing off some of the streets to vehicles Westminster City Council pedestrianised parts of Soho in the mid-1990s, but later removed much of the pedestrianisation, apparently after complaints of loss of trade from local businesses Luyện Thi Đại Học 2016 (26) Gia sư Thành Được www.daythem.edu.vn Fodor’s Guide to New York Chrysler Building Soho, London Phạm Thái Bạch Mai Luyện Thi Đại Học 2016 (26)
