There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo It is known, however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls") Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870 At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play Goals became a cage of 10x feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888 The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890s was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes The first fact is that burglars and other intruders (kẻ xâm nhập) prefer easy
opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and not leave any curtains wide open The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt (xúi giục, hấp dẫn) any burglar
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat (thảm lau chân) or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust But if your house is in a quiet, desolate (hoang vắng) area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter (ngăn chặn) any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house
(17)for many intruders Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through For extra
security, fit window locks to the inside of the window
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio (sân trong) doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks fitted Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defense against intruders
A sobering (đúng mực) fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus (ma gà, kẻ giả danh) officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise (quan sát kĩ) callers at your leisure When you have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine Ask to see an identity card, for example
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help
51 A well-protected house
A is less likely to be burgled B is regarded as a challenge by most criminals
C is a lot of bother to maintain D is very unlikely to be burgled 52 According to the writer, we should
A avoid leaving our house empty B only go out when we have to
C always keep the curtains closed
D give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out
53 The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot
A is predictable B is useful
C is imaginative D is where you always find a spare key
54 What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?
A isolated B populous C dissatisfying D depressing
55 The 'aforementioned precautions' refer to steps that A will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not
B are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe C will stop a potential burglar
D will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home 56 Gaining entry to a house through a small window
(18)B is not as difficult as people think
C is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door D is tried only by very determined burglars
57 According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms A cost a lot of money but are worth it B are good value for money C are luxury items D are absolutely essential items
58 The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole A will prevent your home being burgled B avoids you having to invite people into your home C is only necessary for elderly people D gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine
59 What word best replaces “scrutinise” in paragraph 7?

What I love about my job is the variety I get enquiries (việc điều tra) from people all over the world asking me how they should go about setting up their own website I’ve been asked about so many subjects - anything from someone wanting to teach people how to throw boomerangs to another people selling paper flowers which they make at home in their spare time
Obviously with all the thousands of websites available at the click of a button, you want to create an impression with your website so that it becomes a must-see destination Not
everyone is prepared, however, for the way in which a website can become so popular that it actually has to be closed down
When people first set up their websites they probably pay their web advertiser a monthly fee based on the number of hits (visitors) or page impressions their site receives If they can pay their monthly fee without it costing them too much, that is the best that most people hope for One guy, Pete Bennett, whom I helped, wanted to set up a one-stop shop to provide decent images of the world’s flags He’d been fascinated by flags since his boyhood and had no idea that thousands of other people share his passion Anyway, in one month his web page had over 1.5 million hits As a result his internet provider trebled (gấp 3) the fee that he was being

I also get a fair number of complaints from people e-mailing me to say that they can’t access the website When they click on the site a message appears on their screen saying ‘An error has occurred in the script (bản chính) on this page’ This usually happens when someone has tried to achieve fancy effects on their website by using programming techniques based on a scripting language This means that unless they really know what they are doing, whoever designed the site has probably made a mistake in their programming This is where people like me come in Most computer instruction guides make things appear quite straightforward, but unless you’re very skilled, you’re likely to run into problems It’s generally worth getting a professional to help you set up your site in the first place otherwise people like me would be out of work And let’s face it, this is big business
