Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the question from 20 to 24
The “typical” family unit in the U.S in 1950s, where a husband goes off to work while the wife is
the homemaker, was favored as the most efficient family structure Now, not only have the
times changed, but the family norm has changed as well A new study suggests that there is no
such thing as a typical family anymore Instead, the new norm is a diverse family structure
“Traditional” family structures can no longer exist because more women have entered the
workforce since the 50s Women were traditionally expected to take care of the children and the
house and have dinner ready when their bread-winning husband returned home from work
Today, women attend college and enter the workforce and can independently take care
of themselves and their families In 2010, 37 percent of women received a bachelor’s degree or
more compared to 35 percent of men Many families also need dual-incomes in order to provide
for the children
Câu 20: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A Typical families in the U.S no longer exist
B Traditional family structures in the U.S
C Husband is breadwinner and wife is homemaker
D Nuclear and extended family
Câu 21: The work “themselves” in paragraph 2 refers to
A families
Trang 4B workforce
C women
D husbands
Câu 22: Why can traditional family in the U.S no longer exist?
A Because women have to provide for the children
B Because women take care of the children
C Because women have the lower income than men
D Because women attend college and enter the workforce
Câu 23: How many percent of women didn’t receive a bachelor’s degree in 2010?
A 35%
B 37%
C 23%
D 63%
Câu 24: A typical family means that
A Husband works and wife takes care of the children
B Wife works but husband takes care of the children
C Wife and husband work
D Husband and wife take care of children

Questions 23-30: Read the text about volunteering in Britain and answer the questions that
follow
Doing some forms of voluntary work has never been more popular with British people Over 20
million people were engaged in voluntary activities in 2013 Volunteering means giving up time
to do work of benefit to the community It can take many forms, from working with children with
learning difficulties, or in an animal hospital, or planting trees When London won its bid to host
the 2012 Olympics, up to 70,000 volunteers were needed to help ensure that the games were a
success
Volunteers can be anyone of any age Students and full-time workers often manage to involve
in some voluntary work But what motivates volunteers? Some do it for a sense of selflessness
while others find they have free time available Many mention the opportunity to get to know
people they would not normally meet
A relatively new phenomenon is the hope of meeting new friends or even a life partner through
volunteering In a recent British survey, 20% of 18-24 year-olds and 8% of over-65s said their
love lives had improved since they began volunteering The same poll found that nearly half of
Trang 7volunteers enjoyed improved health and fitness, a quarter lost weight - especially those working with children or doing conservation projects - and two-thirds felt less stressed So, it seems
volunteering may improve your life, and you may even find the person of your dreams
