Reading:Read the passage then answer the questions (2.5 pts)
Vietnamese generally shake hands when greeting and parting Using both hands show respect, as does a slight bow of the head In rural areas, elderly people who don’t extend their hand are
greeted with a slight bow Women are more likely to bow the head slightly than to shake hands Vietnamese names begin with the family name and are followed by a given name For example, in the name Nguyen Van Duc, Nguyen is the family name People address one another by their given names, but add a title that indicated their perceived relationship to the other person These titles are family related rather than professional Among colleagues, for example, the younger of the two might combine the given name with the title of Anh (“older Brother) A basic greeting combined with the given name and title is Xin chao (“Hello”) Classifiers for gender and familiarity are also combined with the greeting In formal meetings, business cards are sometimes exchanged on greeting
Vietnamese have a strong sense of hospitality and feel embarrassed if they cannot show their guests full respect by preparing for their arrival Therefore, it is inappropriate to visit a home without having been invited Gifts are not required, but are appreciated Flowers incense, or tea may be appropriate gifts for the hosts Hosts also appreciate a small gift for their children or elderly parents

However, most people feel that the advantages of owning a car outweigh the
disadvantages Consequently, most young people of my age start driving as soon as they can Personally, I think that cars nowadays have become essential, but I also feel that they cause a lot of problems, since they are noisy and dirty Moreover, the large number of cars the road means that most towns and cities are organized for the convenience of cars and the needs of pedestrians are ignored.

Last year, thieves broke into a Scottish castle and stole only one thing: a rhino horn, at 1.5 meters was the longest in the world In China, pharmaceutical factories have been building up collections of antiques made from rhino horn, for the sole purposes of smashing them to powder to make the essential ingredient of many of their medicines And in Africa, poachers continue to die in the search for black rhinos
Recently, conservationists met to plan a campaign to persuade countries where rhino horn is still part of the traditional medicine to switch substitutes The biggest threat to the survival of the rhinoceros is the refusal of certain countries to enforce a ban domestic trading in rhino horn
The rhino horn is included in many remedies for disorders ranging from fevers to nosebleeds Horn, like fingernails, is made of keratin and has no proven medicinal powers Traditional substitutes, such as horn from buffalo or antelope, are regarded as second best

(17)Last year, thieves broke into a Scottish castle and stole only one thing: a rhino horn, at 1.5 meters was the longest in the world In China, pharmaceutical factories have been building up collections of antiques made from rhino horn, for the sole purposes of smashing them to powder to make the essential ingredient of many of their medicines And in Africa, poachers continue to die in the search for black rhinos
Recently, conservationists met to plan a campaign to persuade countries where rhino horn is still part of the traditional medicine to switch substitutes The biggest threat to the survival of the rhinoceros is the refusal of certain countries to enforce a ban domestic trading in rhino horn
The rhino horn is included in many remedies for disorders ranging from fevers to nosebleeds Horn, like fingernails, is made of keratin and has no proven medicinal powers Traditional substitutes, such as horn from buffalo or antelope, are regarded as second best
The battle is thought to be winnable But it may be harder than the battle against the trade in ivory, for there is a difference between the two commodities Ivory is a luxury; rhino horn, people believe, could save the life of their child

C/ READING
The excitement of snorkelling in a clear tropical sea is hard to explain to someone who hasn't done it If you expect to have the opportunity of trying it when on holiday, it is well worth bringing a snorkel if you can get hold of one Experts now recommend a separate breathing tub
Many swimmers take a deep breath before diving with a snorkel This is a mistake, because it makes the body so light that you dive with difficulty It is best to take a couple of deep breaths and then a normal relaxed breath in order to breathe in enough for the dive Don't take repeated deep breaths before diving because this can lead to a shortage of oxygen, which causes unconsciousness without warning
The back of many snorkellers gets badly burnt, for the snorkellers are so involved in the world below they forget about the danger of sunburn The sea does not protect your back from the rays of the sun and it is best to wear a T-shirt Snorkellers should also consider wearing shoes (or flippers), which may protect their feet from sharp rocks which can easily become infected
1 Where can people norkelling?
2 What many swimmers before diving with a snorkel? Why shouldn’t people take repeated breaths before diving?
4 Should swimmers wear anykind of clothes when doing snorkelling? Why should swimmers wear shoes or slippers?
