Recent studies on child labor and, poverty have suggested that when poor families reach a certain economic threshold where families are able to provide for their basic needs, parents return their children to school. This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic value of the children's work has increased since their return to school Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good universities and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population density India has launched EDUSAT, an education satellite that can reach remote parts of the country at a greatly reduced cost. There is also an initiative supported by several major corporations to develop a $100 laptop. The laptops have been available since 2007. The laptops, sold at cost, will enable developing countries to give their children a digital education. In Africa, an "eschool program" has been launched to provide all 600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and internet access within 10 years. Volunteer groups are working to give more individuals opportunity to receive education in developing countries through such programs as the Perpetual Education Fund. An International Development Agency project started with the support of American President Bill Clinton uses the Internet to allow cooperation by individuals on issues of social development 1.In developing countries, A. all parents are rich enough to send their children to school B. people all know that education is very important all the time C. children have to work instead of going to school D. children have rights to get high schooling 2.According to recent studies, when parents are able to overcome their financial difficulty, A. they have their children work even harder B. they still make their children continue working C. they themselves continue their schooling D. they send their children back to school 3.In populous countries, _ A. no other careers are better paid than teaching C. teaching is the highestpaid career B. there are a lot of good universities D. there is a lack of good universities 4.The third paragraph is about A. the computerization of African education B. President Bill Clinton who bought a lot of computers C. the projects to computerize education in developing countries D. an Indian education satellite 5.How many projects are presented in the third paragraph? A. One B. Four C. Two D. Three III/ Read the passage carefully and choose the best answers to the questions Education is not an end, but a mean is to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them Our purpose is to fit them for life In some modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to think that by free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a large number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our house, we should get terrible diseases in our own towns In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society 1.The writer of the passage thinks that _ A. education can settle most of the world’s problems. B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world. C. all the social problems can’t be solved by education. D. free education won’t help to solve social problems 2.The writer wants to prove that _ A. people with high education refuse to do what they think “low” work B. our society needs free education for all C. a farmer is more important than a professor. D. our society needs all kinds of jobs 3.According to the passage _ A. work with hands is low work. B. we can’t regard work with hands as low work C. work with hands is dirty and shameful D. work with hands is the most important 4.The purpose of education is _ A. to choose a system of education B. to build a perfect world C. to let everyone receive education fit for him D. to prepare children mainly for their future work 5.The passage tells us about _ of education A. the type B. the means C. the system D. the value IV/ Read the passage and choose the word (A,B,C or D) which best fits each gap of the passage The year at an America college is divided into 2 semesters. A semester _(31) _ of 15 weeks American students usually go to college from September to May. They can also study _(32) _the summer. Students choose their classes a few weeks before the start of each term. Universities offer a great many _(33) _in the students' main area of study and in other areas as well. Students must take both. These include science, math, computer, history and English. Other classes may be just for fun, like dance, theatre or sports _(34) _are usually given in the middle of the term and at the end. The final exam is extremely important. In some classes, the professor asks the students to write a research paper or complete a certain task instead of taking a test Classes at an American college are usually organized through lectures, For example, a student may attend 2 or 3 lectures a week by the professor. As _(35) _as several hundred students sit at each lecture 1.A. is composed B. involves C. contains D. includes 2.A. at B. within C. during D. behind 3.A. majors B. topics C. kinds D. classes 4.A.

Marriages were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriagepartners based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal. The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the ageold customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and eastern elements Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting In the past, _ A. Vietnamese couples were free to make a decision on the marriage B. Vietnamese marriage was decided by parents and family C. getting married at an early age was not allowed D. parents had no right to interfere their children's marriage In former days, the fact that a bride and groom had only first met just on the day of their engagement or marriage was _ A. surprising B. popular C. uncommon D. strange Which sentence is referred Vietnamese modern marriage? A. Most young people do not have their marriage based on love B. All marriages are arranged by parents and family C. Marriage is quite westernization D. Couples do not get married at quite young ages According to the passage, A. Oversea Vietnamese people do not like to organize a traditional wedding B. There is an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding C. Many of the ageold customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding do not exist nowadays D.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really true. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the job. Your application or resume has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to show how your skills and experience match this position and this company. The employer will be looking and listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths; arrive early, by about 1015 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions After the interview, follow up with a thankyou note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before the hiring: decision is made.

Recent studies on child labor and, poverty have suggested that when poor families reach a certain economic threshold where families are able to provide for their basic needs, parents return their children to school. This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic value of the children's work has increased since their return to school Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good universities and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population density India has launched EDUSAT, an education satellite that can reach remote parts of the country at a greatly reduced cost. There is also an initiative supported by several major corporations to develop a $100 laptop. The laptops have been available since 2007. The laptops, sold at cost, will enable developing countries to give their children a digital education. In Africa, an "eschool program" has been launched to provide all 600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and internet access within 10 years. Volunteer groups are working to give more individuals opportunity to receive education in developing countries through such programs as the Perpetual Education Fund. An International Development Agency project started with the support of American President Bill Clinton uses the Internet to allow cooperation by individuals on issues of social development 1.In developing countries, A. all parents are rich enough to send their children to school B. people all know that education is very important all the time C. children have to work instead of going to school D. children have rights to get high schooling 2.According to recent studies, when parents are able to overcome their financial difficulty, A. they have their children work even harder B. they still make their children continue working C. they themselves continue their schooling D. they send their children back to school 3.In populous countries, _ A. no other careers are better paid than teaching C. teaching is the highestpaid career B. there are a lot of good universities D. there is a lack of good universities 4.The third paragraph is about A. the computerization of African education B.

A. One B. Four C. Two III/ Read the passage carefully and choose the best answers to the questions D. Three Education is not an end, but a mean is to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them Our purpose is to fit them for life In some modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to think that by free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid – one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a large number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our house, we should get terrible diseases in our own towns In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society 1.The writer of the passage thinks that _ A. education can settle most of the world’s problems. B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world. C. all the social problems can’t be solved by education. D. free education won’t help to solve social problems 2.The writer wants to prove that _ A. people with high education refuse to do what they think “low” work B. our society needs free education for all C. a farmer is more important than a professor. D. our society needs all kinds of jobs 3.According to the passage _ A. work with hands is low work. B. we can’t regard work with hands as low work C. work with hands is dirty and shameful D. work with hands is the most important 4.The purpose of education is _ A. to choose a system of education B. to build a perfect world C. to let everyone receive education fit for him D. to prepare children mainly for their future work 5.The passage tells us about _ of education A. the type B. the means C. the system D. the value IV/ Read the passage and choose the word (A,B,C or D) which best fits each gap of the passage The year at an America college is divided into 2 semesters.

Marriages were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriagepartners based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal. The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the ageold customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and eastern elements Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in advance by a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting 1.In the past, _ A.

There is an engagement ceremony which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding C. Many of the ageold customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding do not exist nowadays D.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really true. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the job. Your application or resume has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to show how your skills and experience match this position and this company. The employer will be looking and listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths; arrive early, by about 1015 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions After the interview, follow up with a thankyou note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before the hiring: decision is made.
