Most Americans (6) stop working at the age of sixty-five or seventy and retire Because work is such an important part of life in this culture, retirement can be very (7) -difficult - Retirees often feel that they are useless and unproductive Of course, some people are happy to (8) -retire -, but leaving one’s job, (9) what it is, is a difficult change, even for those (10) who look forward to retiring Bài 2: Read the passage and fill in the gaps with the provided words dangerous work older malaria diseases scared produce that where female When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals We might be (1) scared of them because they are big and powerful As we get (2) older ; however, we learn that sometimes the most (3) -dangerous - animals are also the smallest animals In fact, the animal (4) that kills the most people every year is one that you have probably killed yourself many times: the mosquito While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar On the other hand, (5) female mosquitoes feed on animal blood They need this blood to live and (6) produce eggs When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the blood This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease The result of the bite can be as minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death Because a mosquito can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry (7) diseases from one person to another very easily Two of the most deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes are (8) -malaria -and yellow fever Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish Bringing more of these animals into places (9) where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the amount of mosquitoes in that area This is a natural solution, but it does not always (10) work very well Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays Even though these sprays kill mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or animals Bài 3: Read the passage and fill in the gaps with the provided words continue run changing economic answers who survive contributed full-time satisfied Should women find their happiness inside or outside the home? In the United States people used to believe the saying, “A woman’s place is in the home.” But now both women and society are (1) changing More than fifty percent of American women (2) -continue - their work even after they are married What has brought about these changes? What is happening to the American family today? Up until the 1950’s a typical American woman got married in her early 20’s In those days she quit her job and became a mother “A woman’s place is in the home” was a popular saying Most women felt that taking care of their home and family was their (3) -full-time - job But times have changed Women are getting married later these days and more have chosen to stay single Others get married but decide not to have any children Today more than fifty percent of all married women work full-time Many others (4) run businesses in their homes What has caused these major changes? One reason is (5) -economic - necessity It may be that the husband has lost his job and the wife must support the family Or even if the husband is working, some families say they can’t (6) -survive - on only one paycheck But probably a more important influence has been the “women’s liberation movement.” Women are being told in many magazines and TV programs: “You can be successful on your own Don’t be (7) -satisfied with just being a wife and mother Use your intelligence and talents to something bigger And you should be paid as much as a man.” No doubt this movement has accomplished much good But it has also (8) contributed to a selfish “me first” attitude that is breaking up many families Sometimes women (9) who are happy staying at home feel that working women look down on them There are no easy (10) answers to these problems But certainly women’s influence will continue to grow in business, education and politics Bài 4: Read the passage and fill in the gaps with the provided words maintain expected dropped means widespread easier indispensable tiny serve smaller To be successful, a business traveler must be able to (1) maintain -contact with the office, no matter what the time or place Negotiations often involve decisions based on the latest figures New telecommunications products and services now on the market make staying in touch (2) easier than ever before The most (3) widespread device is the cellular telephone, the price of which has (4) -dropped - from several thousand dollars to a few hundred, including installation There are over two million mobile cellular phones in use today, including both car phones and cordless transportable units Car phones have proven (5) -indispensable - for road emergencies as well as routine business transactions Phone service is also available on airplanes and on the rails Recently introduced pocket-size organizers help business travelers with heavy schedules keep track of clients These are (6) tiny computers that can store all kinds of information They can (7) -serve - as phone and address directories, calendars, electronic memo pads, and calculators, among other uses Another invaluable telecommunications tool is (8) smaller , lighter fax machines that plug into any standard electrical outlet and phone line The devices allow instantaneous transmission of hard copy to any location having a compatible fax machine It is (9) -expected - that faxing will soon become the primary (10) means of sending and receiving short documents requiring prompt action Bài 5: Read the passage and fill in the gaps with the provided words rare describe use meaning blue eating crescent shape happens entire Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon?” People use this expression to (1) -describe - something that they not very often For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid (2) eating -sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon.” Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the (3) -meaning - behind it The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never actually (4) blue This is just an expression The phrase “blue moon” actually has to with the (5) shape of the moon, not the color As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a (6) -crescent - moon A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon When we can see the (7) -entire - moon, it is called a full moon Usually, there is only one full moon every month Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month When this (8) happens , the second full moon is called a “blue moon.” Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons As you can see, a blue moon is a very (9) -rare - event This fact has led people to (10) -use - the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives Phần 3: Viết Question 1:Rearrange the words to make meaningful sentences or questions subject / your / what / is / favourite?
