What does Rosemary's attitude towards David seem to be? Dear David, Many thanks for your long and interesting letter What a pity, though, that you had to write about what Jonathan has been up to in it I must say it seemed to me quite unnecessary I couldn't of course let Amanda read it, though she kept asking for days Rather thoughtless of you, dear, wasn't it, because naturally the children are interested in your letters You didn't tell me, by the way, that there was a bomb explosion in your office building shortly after you arrived, but I suppose you didn't want to worry us Were you in any danger? If things get any worse you'll just have to come home, and we'll have to manage without all that money By the way, as you didn't answer my question about the washing- machine, I have bought a new one Fully automatic; and rather expensive but it's super I heard about the bomb from Mr Zapp A very curious visit which I must tell you about He came round the other evening with the book you wanted It was the most awkward time about six just as we were about to have dinner but I felt that I had to invite him in since he'd taken the trouble to bring your book round and he looked rather miserable standing in the wet snow outside the front door wearing waterproof boots and a funny fur hat He didn't need any persuading - practically knocked me over in his eagerness to get in the house I took him into the front room for a quick drink but it was like an iceberg - I don't bother to light a fire in there now you're always so I had to take him into the dining-room, where the children were just beginning to fight because they were hungry for their dinner I asked him if he would mind me serving the children their meal while he finished his drink, hoping this would give him the idea that he should leave promptly, but he said no, he didn't mind and I should eat too, and he took off his hat and coat and sat down to watch us And I mean watch us His eyes followed every movement from dish to plate to mouth It was very embarrassing The children fell strangely silent, and I could see that Amanda and Robert were looking at each other and going red in the face with the effort of trying not to laugh In the end I had to ask him if he wouldn't like to join us for the meal.Love Rosemary Chọn câu trả lời: a She lets him what he wants to and does not criticize b She worries about him all the time c She wants him to be involved in decisions about house and family d She thinks more about money and the house than about him Which of the following is the best for the passage? Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep root in society and culture Psychologists believe that group identity and cohesion depend to a large extent on having a common enemy It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is an important element in defining who we are within a large realm It could be said that human beings love to hate The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistakes, immediately accuses another child or an inanimate object such as a teddy bear Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups vie for attention and influence These basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life One area where deeprooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic clashes that constantly occur around the globe These conflicts are not only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose For many, there is no "us" without a "them" to hate In a world where conflict between super powers is on the decline, it may be that humanity will have difficulty adapting so a state of mutual respect and cooperation Chọn câu trả lời: a Roots of society b A basic emotion ĐÚNG c Group unity d Social and Cultural problem According to the passage, early chilhood responses to blame Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep root in society and culture Psychologists believe that group identity and cohesion depend to a large extent on having a common enemy It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is an important element in defining who we are within a large realm It could be said that human beings love to hate The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistakes, immediately accuses another child or an inanimate object such as a teddy bear Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups vie for attention and influence These basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life One area where deeprooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic clashes that constantly occur around the globe These conflicts are not only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose For many, there is no "us" without a "them" to hate In a world where conflict between super powers is on the decline, it may be that humanity will have difficulty adapting so a state of mutual respect and cooperation Chọn câu trả lời: a demonstrate how human beings love to hate b are not related to stronger feelings in adulthood c are not well understood by psychologists d are complex expressions of emotion Where most Americans live? The fact that most Americans live in urban areas does not mean that they reside in the center of large cities In fact, more Americans live in the suburbs of large metropolitan areas than in the cities themselves The Bureau of Census regards any area with more than 2,500 people as an urban area, and does not consider boundaries of cities and suburbs According to the Bureau, the political boundaries are less significant than the social and economic relationships and the transportation and communication systems that integrate a local The term used by the Bureau for an integrated metropolis is an MSA, which stands for Metropolitan Statistical Area In general, an MSA is any area that contains a city and its surrounding suburbs and has a total population of 50,000 or more At the present time, the Bureau reports more than 280 MSAs, which together account for 75 percent of the U.S population In addition, the Bureau recognizes eighteen megapolises, that is, continuous adjacent metropolitan areas One of the most obvious megapolises includes a chain of hundreds of cities and suburbs across ten states on the East Coast from Massachusetts to Virginia, including Boston, New York, and Washington D.C In the Eastern Corridor, as it is called, a population of 45 million inhabitants is concentrated Another megapolis that is growing rapidly is the California coast from San Francisco through Los Angeles to San Diego Chọn câu trả lời: a In rural areas b In the center of cities c In small towns d In the suburbs surrounding large cities If everyone stopped smoking, all the United Kingdom The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem Doctors think that the annual medical cost for lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses connected to smoking is between 12 and 35 million pounds And smoking costs society money in other ways Between 27 and 61 billion pounds are spent each year on sick days when people don't go to work, on wages that you don't get when you don't go to work, and on work lost at the company when you are sick This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying taxes This does not count fire started by cigarettes, which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and injure another four thousand Smoking costs every man, woman arid child in the UK from one hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages When you add another fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost, that comes to one hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten pounds If everyone stopped smoking, a family of four could have up to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds a year more Smoking will also cause other problems People who don't smoke will live longer, and so they will take money from the government when they are old But they will also work for more years and pay more taxes In the end, the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds The good health of the people is the true value for us all Chọn câu trả lời: a would have no more problems b would live longer c would have less money d would have more money The action that the engineers are taking East Somalia's prolonged shortage of rain, which has already caused food supplies to fail and brought unemployment in farming areas, could also affect the production of electricity, and thus reduce the output from the nation's mines The mining industry, and especially copper mining, uses a huge amount of electricity and is almost completely dependent on the government Electricity Supply Commission But the Commission has recently asked the mines what would happen if electricity supplies were reduced by ten, twenty or thirty percent The Commission's power stations, which produce the electricity using coal as fuel, are mostly situated near the large coalfields of Eastern Province But this area has little water so the cooling towers at the power stations have to be supplied with water from elsewhere The problem now is that water levels in all rivers and lakes have fallen dangerously low and, in some cases, are well below the intake pipes which feed into the pipelines which supply the cooling towers In a desperate attempt to solve the problem, engineers are spending some forty million dollars on building a series of small dams across the Haro River It is hoped that these dams will make the water level at the Malawa Dam rise so that water can then be pumped through a new pipeline to the power stations This will take time and it is now the dry season Very little rain falls before October or November, and, after a shortage which has lasted for four years and is believed to be the worst in two centuries, nobody can say whether the rains will be sufficient The amount of electricity and water used by the mines has tended to increase in recent years The mines, which produce about half the country's export earnings, need electricity in order to pump fresh air through their workings and to drive machines which crush vast quantities of rock Each mine also has to provide accommodation for as many as three thousand workers Chọn câu trả lời: a will use up a lot of electricity b will become effective towards the end of the year c may not help if there is sufficient rain d should get enough water to the mines Which of the following is not true? Finnish-born botanist William Nylander taught at the University of Helsinki for a number of years and later moved to Paris, where he lived until his death at the end of the nineteenth century During the second half of the last century, he became a prominent figure in the field of lichenology Botanists from allover the world sent samples to his laboratory to be analyzed and classified It can be said without exaggeration that four out of five lichens bear his name He was the first realize the importance of using chemical reagents in the taxonomy of lichens He selected the most common reagents used by the chemists of his time Lichenologists all over the world still used these reagents, including tincture of iodine and hypochlorite, in their laboratories During the first half of the twentieth century, a Japanese named Arahina added only one chemical product - P Phenol diamines Nylander was also responsible for discovering that the atmosphere of big cities hindered the lichens' development and caused them to disappear Now they are used to detect atmospheric pollution Nevertheless, he considered lichens to be simple plants and vehemently opposed the widely accepted modem theories that lichens are a compound Species formed by two discordant elements: algae and fungi Chọn câu trả lời: a Eighty percent of lichens bear Nylander's name b Nylander accepted his colleagues' theories on the composition of lichens c Most botanists consider lichens to be a compound species d Today lichens are used to detect atmospheric pollution Which of the following correctly describes migrant workers? Agriculture in the West and South of the United States has traditionally been supported by migrant workers who migrate or move from area to area according to the crops that need harvesting Many Chinese, Filipino, and Mexican immigrants became migrant workers when they first arrived in the United States Often they had problems with the English language or no skills that they could immediately use in the new country A person looking objectively at the living conditions of these workers might say that their way of life was little better than slavery They were housed in substandard conditions, received wages far below the minimum, and had no medical or insurance benefits The migrant workers had no labour unions that could bargain for better wages, better hours, or improved working conditions, They had no money and no power with which to bargain with their employers Employers were making fortunes by the sweat of their workers' brows It took an idealistic, determined young man named Cesar Chavez to change the plight of the migrant worker forever Chọn câu trả lời: a Living and working conditions were generally poor b All the workers were fluent in English c The workers usually stayed in one place for many years d Only Mexicans were pennitted to work on crops According to the passage, ethnic conflicts… Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep root in society and culture Psychologists believe that group identity and cohesion depend to a large extent on having a common enemy It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is an important element in defining who we are within a large realm It could be said that human beings love to hate The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistakes, immediately accuses another child or an inanimate object such as a teddy bear Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups vie for attention and influence These basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life One area where deeprooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic clashes that constantly occur around the globe These conflicts are not only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose For many, there is no "us" without a "them" to hate In a world where conflict between super powers is on the decline, it may be that humanity will have difficulty adapting to a state of mutual respect and cooperation Chọn câu trả lời: a occur only occasionally b are on the decline c have their roots in childhood rivalries d serve to resolve differences Why did Della and Jim think of giving presents to each other? Della and Jim Young, newly married, were poor Jim's wage was enough to rent only a very small apartment But there were two things of which each was extremely proud Della had the longest and most beautiful hair in all New York, thought Jim, as he watched her combing it; and Jim possessed a magnificent gold pocket-watch, given to him by his father Christmas was drawing near, and Jim and Della began to think what presents they could afford to give each other Della always noticed sadly, when Jim looked at his watch, that it was fixed to the button-hole of his coat by a common old leather strap He really needed a gold chain And Jim often thought as he looked at Della doing her long hair, how well it would look if only he could buy her a jewelled comb to hold it in place But a gold watch chain or a jewelled hair-comb would have cost far more money than either of them possessed Now it was Christmas Eve With tearful eyes Della had counted the money she had saved for Jim's Christmas present for the tenth time: 87 cents "If only I knew ", she thought Then suddenly she had a wonderful idea! Hurriedly putting on her old hat and coat, she ran down the street to the shop with the notice "Hair bought" She entered and an hour later walked out of the shop richer by 15 dollars, but without her hair! On the way home she stopped at every watch maker's shop until at last she found exactly the right chain to suit Jim's watch Returning home, with one dollar and 87 cents left in her pocket, she had just enough time before Jim arrived home from work to wrap the precious gift in a piece of coloured paper, and to curl the remaining short ends of her hair When Jim saw it, he was speechless "Oh, Jim, don't look at me like that!" Della cried "It'll grow again, sure it will Very quickly Believe me And I had to it Here,!" She produced the parcel with the watch - chain from behind her back "You see, I had to sell it to get money for your present Happy Christmas, dear." When Jim had opened it, he collapsed on a chair and laughed until tears came into his eyes "I think we'd better put our presents away for a while", he said gently, at last "You see," he continued, taking a small package from his pocket, "I've sold my watch to buy this comb for your hair!

Second, what is the effect of these devices on traditional workplace relationships? And third, how individuals manage them? A Microsoft survey found that where flexibility had increased, so had productivity and employee morale, together with lowered stress levels and staff turnover However, individuals can suffer

have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many involved in the sector could be jeopardising future profits if they not consider the long-term impact of what they are doing carefully.It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel project in order to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding environment and social structures The report produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this will lead to destruction of rain forests Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel Last week, the UN warned that biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest There is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations.An analyst and author of the investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and environmental impacts thoroughly There should also be greater measure taken to increase efficiency and to reduce demand Question: Environmentalists

tests like athletes There are already drugs that are known to improve mental performance, like Ritalin, which is given to children with problems concentrating A drug given to people with trouble sleeping also helps people remember numbers These drugs raise serious legal and moral questions, but people already take vitamins to help them remember things better, so it will not be a simple

no proper drains and water pipes in the neighbourhood and the underground passage round the statue have become blocked Too much water has been running into the stone statue for several years As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature for example, although the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sun Other natural forces such as severe sandstorms also attack the statue Finally the tourists who visit the statue every day also cause a lot of damage Chọn câu trả lời: a gold and water b drains and water pipes c silver and copper d waste and water If only I knew… Della and Jim Young, newly married, were poor Jim's wage
