Trang 21.THE NORTH STAR
Among the multitude of stars in the universe, there are a couple that
are of great importance to people on Earth The sun, of course, is one of
them The other is known as Polaris, the North Star Polaris is special
because it is the only star that always appears to be in the same place in the
sky Therefore, Polaris is a great compass When people in the northern
hemisphere of Earth look toward Polaris, they can be certain that they are
facing north The permanence of Polaris in the north sky has helped
countless people find their destinations
Before the invention of modern navigation tools, mariners relied on
Polaris From the top of their hulls, sailors would look for Polaris to figure
out their place at sea They figured out the angle between the star and the
horizon to determine their latitude As long as the equations weren’t
erroneous, the results were very reliable Polaris also let sailors determine
North, South, East, and West By knowing directions and their location,
mariners could easily navigate their ships
To those who sail at night, volatile storms and dark clouds were more
than nuisances /'nju:sns/ mối làm phiền toái
They could disrupt entire journeys by blocking the view of Polaris A
captain could err and make an inadvertent wrong turn
The ship could become stranded at sea, and the frantic captain would
have no way to improvise to get the ship back on the right course
The mariner’s fears wouldn’t be soothed until the clouds cleared and
Polaris came back into view Even today, sailors sometimes opt to navigate
by using Polaris on clear nights.It’s not difficult to differentiate Polaris
from other stars
The Big Dipper, a constellation that is well known in astrology,
appears to revolve around Polaris
The handle of the Big Dipper always points to the North Star When
people get lost, it’s comforting to know that their problems can be
alleviated by looking at the sky

Trang 32.THE FOSSIL HUNTERS
Tim and Dean were great fossil hunters They were the very best at
finding dinosaur bones Although Tim and Dean were quite similar, they
were outright enemies The two men got into vicious arguments all the
time They couldn’t coexist peacefully because their egos were too large
Tim thought he was the best fossil hunter, while Dean was sure that he was
much better than Tim
One day, Tim was searching for fossils on the periphery of the city
when he discovered a huge bone He had never seen anything like it! He
took his shovel and carefully excavated the dirt around it As he dug, he
uncovered more jagged bones He realized that he had found an entire
dinosaur skeleton! Tim couldn’t conceive a plan to remove the huge skeleton
all by himself
Such an endeavor would be too arduous He needed help He tried to
think of people who would be capable of helping him remove the skeleton
without breaking it The only person Tim could think of was Dean, his
enemy
Tim ran into the city to find Dean Tim found him and said, “ Dean,
I’ve found the skeletal remains of a huge terrestrial animal But I can’t get
the skeleton out by myself Will you please help me?
Dean thought that Tim’s claim might be dubious He replied, “ If
you’re serious about the skeleton, I’ll help.”
Tim excitedly showed Dean the skeleton’s locale They worked
together to carefully remove each bone And to keep the bones together, they
tied them with elastic strips When they were finished, they had attained a
perfect skeleton
They used plaster to make a mold of the dinosaur’s skull They
engraved their initials into it and gave it to the curator of a local museum
Tim and Dean found out that they could work very well together
They decided to end their feud and become friends By combining
their talents, the men became even greater than they were before

Trang 43 DRESSED TO EXCESS
If you traveled back in time to the 1700s in Europe, you would laugh
when you saw how the aristocracy dressed Soon you’d realize, though, that
the aristocrats of Europe were very serious about their appearance
The predominant style in women’s attire was enormous dresses
They were often three times larger than the wearer Ladies even used pads to
enlarge the appearance of their hips and shoulders On the other extreme,
the aristocratic women made their waists appear extremely thin
/,æristə'krətik/ dòng dõi quý tộc
It took several maids stretching fabric and pulling straps in order to
get a lady’s waist to the proper thinness
These ladies could barely breathe and often fainted Pale skin was also
a craze, yet this too was done in excess One could not simply be pale
Instead, she needed to look as if she had anemia In order to look paler,
ladies actually cut themselves daily, so they would bleed
The hairstyles, however, were the hallmark of women’s fashion
These stood a meter high on the ladies’ heads The columns of hair were a
ridiculous tangle of wigs, jewels, flowers, and even stuffed birds : chim
nhồi bông
Men’s fashion was similarly absurd Today it would probably seem
very feminine Reputable men wore wigs of long curly hair Their shoes
had large soles or high heels so that they could walk high above the filth on
the streets Furthermore, just like the ladies, the men wore lipstick and put
rouge on their cheeks.: má Their clothes were brightly colored, often purple
and pink They were made from the finest of fabrics and decorated with
jewels and lace The men vied with one another to see who wore the more
expensive clothes, for the clothing signified his wealth and status : biểu
thị sự giàu có và địa vị - 'stætəs
Both men and women spent huge amounts of money and time on how
they looked Though such vanity would seem vulgar today, three hundred
years from now, the fashions of our time might also seem completely
ridiculous

Trang 54 THE BUTLER’S BAD DAY
The Superintendent of Civic Projects was a busy man He worked
every day of the week and had fancy parties at his house every night
However, if there was someone busier than him, it was his butler He
worked all day organizing the superintendent’s parties and then cleaned up
after them late at night
Hence, while the superintendent slept soundly, snoring loudly in his
bed, the butler was still awake
Sadly, though the butler was always overworked, his profession’s
intrinsic nature demanded he never be outspoken Therefore, his employer
never knew the butler hadn’t slept for several days On any day the butler
might make a mistake
One day, the superintendent said, “This particular party is important
People from the ministry are coming Everything must be perfect.”
The butler began preparing at once First he went to the attic to get
more chairs and tables But on his descent, he realized he needed to make
the food A gourmet dinner was necessary for such a party He boiled water
in a kettle for soup and chopped some beef into chunks Just as he was
starting the soup, he remembered that he had to sweep the veranda
/və'rændə/ hiên, hè
As he was sweeping the veranda, he realized that he had to clean the
sauna
By this time, the first guests had arrived The veranda was still dirty
There were not enough chairs for the guests to sit on, and the soup tasted too
pungent Some guests were dissatisfied They started to make a fuss, and
the party was filled with a din of complaints
The superintendent’s party was a disaster He wondered why his butler
had made so many mistakes At last, the butler admitted to being exhausted
His boss felt pity for the butler He had no idea the butler was so tired He
said, “You should have told me earlier, then we could have avoided this
whole ordeal.”

Trang 65 A BET
Russell finished running a relay and joined his friend Becky in the
cafeteria He asked, “What’s for lunch?” join: đi theo
“Sesame chicken It’s OK, except the meat’s charred Oh, and watch
out for the chili peppers,” Becky said.“ Chilies don’t bother me!” said
Russell.“ My stepmother says you should be careful with them,” replied
Becky
An argument ensued about eating chilies “ Chilies aren’t so bad I bet
I can take more bites of this chili than you,” Russell said
Becky was wary of eating the pepper Despite her reluctance, she
didn’t want to say no to the bet She wavered about whether to do it or not
She negotiated the details “ What will the winner get?” she asked
“The loser has to carry the winner’s books for a year! I’ll even let you
go first.”
Becky replied, “ Fine, but to clarify, you’ll carry my books for the
entire school year, right?”
Russell restated the agreement, “ That’s right I’ll carry your books all
year if you win—which you won’t!”
His dogged persuasion convinced her The chili looked benign, but
Becky knew it could cause a lot of pain She bit the bottom of the pepper
Surprisingly, she felt nothing
“ My turn,” said Russell He bit the middle of the chili Immediately,
he seemed to be in distress He gasped and his face alternated between
brave and pained expressions He experienced an overdose of spice He was
on the verge of tears and finally let out a horrible cry Phát ra, thoát ra
“Take this,” said Becky, handing him her drink
“That was awful!” he said, continuing to sip from the glass
That night, Becky researched chilies The next day she said in an
apologetic voice, “ I read that the hot part of chilies is in the middle, where
the seeds are I’m sorry—I feel like I cheated by going first.”
Russell was relieved, not only did he learn something new about
chilies, but he learned that Becky was a good friend

Trang 76 AMAZING KOMODO DRAGONS
Once, a British gazette had an unusual story Scientists at a zoo made
a discovery about komodo dragons Komodo dragons are giant lizards that
grow up to two and a half meters long A female lizard at the zoo had babies
However, it had never been around a male lizard in its entire life After the
scientists publicized their discovery, many people thought it was fictitious
But it was true It was discovered that female komodo dragons can
have babies without the help of their male counterparts This contradicts
what scientists know about how most animals have babies
In most cases, there are many things that can obstruct this type of
reproduction For example, adult males and females carry different genes
needed to make an embryo If the genes are homogeneous, the babies are
weaker and have genetic problems Over time, the weakened species dies
out completely This makes it necessary for the male to be involved
However, scientists verified that when Komodo babies are born, their
genes aren’t the exact same genes as their mother Also, they are devoid of
any genetic problems
Scientists theorize that Komodo dragons developed the ability because
it helps the species fend off extinction If a volcano erupts, lava can kill all
of the komodo dragons on an island However, as long as one female eludes
death, she can prolong the survival of the species Luckily, Komodo
dragons are vigorous swimmers So the surviving female can plunge into
the ocean and swim to another island When she comes ashore, she can
reproduce by herself Over time, the genes within the population diverge
Then, the sparse population increases Once again there is a surplus of
lizards on one island Scientists think that this may be how the lizards took
over all of the islands in that area (Take over: chiếm đoạt)

Trang 87 GREEK MAGICAL PAPYRI
The Greek Magical Papyri is a collection of writing about magic After
it was found in the Egyptian desert, it took experts years to decipher it The
text was written in at least three different ancient languages After many
years, experts realized it contained a number of spells that varied greatly
in scope
The most common types of magic in the collection dealt with healing
illnesses like pneumonia Some spells also gave advice for treating people
with mental illnesses, such as those who became psychotic Some spells
asked for unusual things, like crocodile dung
But botany was an important part of the magic Many healing spells
gave instructions on how to use herbs and plants that were believed to be
therapeutic
For example, in order to cure arthritis, the book says that the
magician should build an ornate altar Then he should mash different types
of herbs and place them on top of it At dusk, he is supposed to say a spell,
so the gods would be gratified
Other parts of the collection describe how to hone one’s psychic
abilities and how to give credible descriptions of the future Often, the
book advised people how to use different objects to tell the future, including
tea leaves Also, one part of the book tells what different dreams might
mean It gives advice for using dreams to tell the future
A small part of the book, however, is more sinister than the rest It is
meant to cause strife and deception For example, one tells how to give
someone warts, while another will make all of the victim’s farm animals die
However, if someone’s farm animals died as a result of a curse, he could ask
a magician to perform magic that makes the deceased come back to life

Trang 98 WATCH OUT! : coi chừng
Kevin stepped off the tram and walked toward the ship, holding a
package tightly in his hands He had been hired as a courier for an
important broker All he needed to do was deliver a package to an office in
New York City; the ship would take him there
When he boarded, the ship was congested with people As Kevin
walked to his cabin, he saw the exclusive first-class section Everybody
inside was wearing fancy garments He would have liked to socialize with
the people inside, but it was against proper etiquette
People paid a premium for the privilege to ride in first-class Instead,
he went to his cabin next to the freight section of the boat His room smelled
bad, and the floorboards were warped and deformed in some areas He
could also hear the motor humming as it waited to propel the ship forward
Suddenly, Kevin was unsettled by something, but he wasn’t sure why
He took a short walk on the ship’s deck, but he still felt strange That
night, he suffered from insomnia—he couldn’t suppress his obsessing over
how strange he felt
Kevin went back on deck It was cold and dark outside He looked
overboard, but it seemed that everything was all right “ Just go back
inside,” he thought Then Kevin saw it A giant iceberg was sticking out of
the ocean in the distance! “ Help!” he yelled
People looked at him as if he was crazy, but he continued to shout until
he saw the captain
“ There’s an iceberg out there,” Kevin said to him “ If the ship doesn’t
move, we’re liable to crash,” he said, pointing toward the iceberg
The captain saw it and immediately instructed the crew to change the
ship’s direction “ Without your help, we would have definitely hit the
iceberg That would have been a terrible disaster!” he said to Kevin
Kevin felt relieved Now he knew to always trust his intuitive sense

There are many animals with dangerous bites in the world, but which
one is the worst?
Some would say that the elusive short-tailed mamushi has the worst
bite The snake only goes into homes to chase pests such as mice Otherwise,
it stays in the fields, where it’s dangerous to people who forage for food
there If someone stuns it by accidentally stepping on it, it bites to protect
itself At first, the effects of the bite may seem negligible because it doesn’t
cause a lot of bleeding However, after a few moments, the venom induces
paralysis in the area where the individual was bitten
Furthermore, the venom can also impede respiration If the person
doesn’t go to the doctor, they are susceptible to kidney deterioration
Others would argue that tigers have the worst bite Mother tigers are
inseparable from their babies and seem to be the gentlest creatures when
they are around their young
However, if the babies are threatened, the mother tiger’s savage
nature prevails With strong jaws and the ability to move quickly, the tiger
can kill someone with one bite That’s because it always tries to bite an
important artery when it attacks If the artery is ruptured, the victim will
bleed to death /'rʌptʃə/ Cắt đứt, đoạn tuyệt
In the mainstream, animal bites are seen as the most dangerous But
some scientists think this idea is invalid In fact, the most dangerous bite
might be the human bite When scientists magnified the contents in human
saliva, they found about three hundred different microbes in it A human
bite can be dangerous if the bacteria enters the body through a cut, which can
make people very sick Furthermore, most people don’t realize how serious a
human bite can be, so they don't go to the doctor right away This gives the
wound a chance to get infected and cause more problems

Trang 1110 THE AVALANCH
Randy was a forest ranger Because of his job, he was secluded in a
cabin in the wilderness reindʤ
One day, the radio reported, “Convection in the atmosphere is causing
a lot of clouds to form A serious storm ” Suddenly, the radio went silent
The signal was lost
He went outside and looked at the overcast sky Anybody else would
have taken the dark sky as an omen of a very bad storm, but not Randy His
upbringing had taught him consistency He had done this job for years, and
nothing could stop him Besides, he thought nothing could hurt him
Today, he had a very important task to do The snow was starting to
pile up high on the mountain If too much accumulated, it could cause an
avalanche But Randy had an apparatus to get rid of the snow It used
dynamite to shake the snow and make the top layer of snow come down
As the snow started falling, he thought about returning to the office
until the storm stopped, but he decided not to Suddenly, he heard a loud
noise behind him It was an avalanche! He started to run, but within seconds,
he was knocked sideways and buried by the snow and rubble from an old
cabin that had been destroyed An aerial rescue team came quickly Randy
was just a speck amongst the great pile of snow, but the team found him
thanks to his brightly colored jacket They quickly took him to a hospital
After a few hours, Randy woke up in the hospital He looked at the
sober faces of the doctors and saw his wife sobbing
“ What’s wrong?” he asked He didn’t remember what had happened
“You were almost killed!” his wife said
“You broke several ribs But the rest of you is still reasonably intact
You are really lucky to be alive,” the doctor said
After five days, Randy was discharged from the hospital The
experience had taught him a poignant lesson: he was a mortal, and nature
was much more powerful than him

Trang 1211 THE LYDIAN KING
King Croesus was once one of the richest kings in the world He ruled
over Lydia, an ancient empire located near modern-day Turkey and
controlled a valuable commodity: gold Many people were very envious of
him Valuable: có giá trị
One day, a messenger disclosed some interesting news: political
unrest in Persia had weakened the empire Before then, the Persians had
taken over many countries Many leaders were scared of the Persian
conquest But King Croesus understood the dynamics of war better than
most He decided that it would be a good time to try to beat the Persians
while they were weak
He advocated starting war, but nobody shared his sentiment Then he
asked a wise member of the senate who was visiting from Athens The sage
didn’t say whether he should attack the Persians or not He only warned
him that his good luck wouldn’t last
Finally, King Croesus sent a messenger to visit the Oracle, a special
lady who could see the future The messenger gave the Oracle jugs of wine
and baskets of lentils in order to make her happy Để làm cho
When the messenger came back, he was in a festive mood
“What was the Oracle’s prophecy?” asked King Croesus
The jolly messenger responded, “ She said that if you attack Persia,
you will destroy a great empire.”
The news filled Croesus with euphoria After hearing the Oracle’s
prophecy, many civilians enrolled in the Lydian army The king marshaled
his troops and prepared them for a war with Persia Their morale was high
because they were sure they would win Soon, King Croesus authorized an
attack against the Persians
However, the Persian army was still very strong After a few months of
fighting, it was obvious that the Oracle’s prophecy had come true: by
attacking the Persians, King Croesus had destroyed a great empire—his
own! King Croesus should have considered the advice more carefully

Trang 1312 THE BUTLER
Greta was an elderly lady who lived alone in a huge, dilapidated
mansion The mansion was in terrible condition It was covered with filth,
and most of the furniture was broken
Plus, the kitchen sink leaked water all over the floor Greta was too old
to do housekeeping and repairs herself, so she hired a butler named
Gordon
Gordon was a young, muscular man His muscles were a testament to
his strong work ethic He believed that if he worked hard, great things
would happen for him On his first day, he worked for hours cleaning and
making repairs He swept up mounds of dirt He tightened the valve
underneath the kitchen faucet to stop the leak He even bought timber to
build new stools for the kitchen He worked so hard that his fingers went
numb, and he got cramps in his shoulders
Gordon worked hard every day Even when tasks were boring, he was
never reckless He made sure there were no flaws in his work Gordon was
worried, however, that Greta wasn’t pleased She never expressed thanks or
said that he did a good job The lack of appreciation evoked unhappy
feelings in Gordon He even thought about quitting But he decided the right
thing to do was to keep working hard
One day, while Gordon was sweeping, Greta said, “ Gordon! I have a
surprise for you!” He went to Greta’s room and saw a beautiful slate statue
It looked just like him! It was adorned with a banner that read: “Welcome
home.” ' Greta said, “You’ve made this ugly old mansion look new again
I’m so thankful for your hard work that I want you to have it I’ll move into a
smaller house.”
He grinned and gave Greta a big hug He said,
“ I’m in bliss! My hard work really paid off!”
The two said their farewells, and Gordon spent the afternoon admiring
his beautiful new home

Trang 1413 THE END OF SMALLPOX
Smallpox was once the most deadly disease in the world During the
1800s, more than 20 million people got the disease every year Of those,
nearly half died At the onset of smallpox, people suffered from high fevers,
headaches, vomiting, and aching muscles Yet the worst symptom of all was
an intolerable rash that caused irritation on the entire body
Those who survived the disease were often rendered blind or left with
gross scars on their face and body
Today, however, cases of smallpox are very rare due to the work of
many countries during the late 1900s This federation of countries
collaborated to completely destroy smallpox (vào cuối những năm)
Early in the century, wealthy countries in Europe and North America
had developed a substance that made the body immune to smallpox They
had required all their citizens to get this vaccine to counteract the disease
Hence, the people of these countries no longer had to worry about smallpox
However, many of the needy people in poorer parts of the world still
suffered from the disease Their countries could not afford the vaccine nor
supply enough doctors to curb the spread of smallpox
In 1950, the wealthier countries of the world vowed to free the world
of the disease They pledged to supply the vaccine to any country that could
not afford it Scientists compiled lists of areas where the disease still
thrived Then doctors diagnosed people who had the disease in these areas
They enacted laws that prohibited people with smallpox from mixing with
those who did not In this way, they could not transmit the disease to others
Then the doctors gave all of them the vaccine It took a longtime and a
lot of work But nearly thirty years later, on December 9,1979, a group of
scientists certified that smallpox had been successfully stopped The
humane efforts of people from all over the world had accomplished a great
task Hoàn thành

Trang 1514 THE COWARD’S LESSON
Tom was easily frightened He enlisted in the army because he
thought the military would teach him courage And though he needed
courage, he never imagined how he would learn it
During a march across a tract of wilderness near his country’s
frontier, Tom strayed from his squad He had stopped to gaze at a
splendid view of a lush valley When he turned around, his squad was gone
He searched for them, but because their outfits had camouflage, he couldn’t
find them
It was getting dark, and Tom grew weary All he had was a knife, a
boomerang, and his handbook He made a camp for the night It was cold,
and the ground was hard He wished he had his cot and a blanket Instead, he
made a fire, wrapped himself tightly in his jacket, and fell asleep
A loud noise roused him from his sleep “What was that?” he
wondered Then he noticed it An animal of substantial size had left a print
from its paw in the dirt He sat closer to the fire and looked into the darkness
He imagined a large beast jumping from the gloom and attacking him
He shook so much from fear that it felt like the marrow in his bones
quivered
Tom contemplated many different plans He was hesitant to act He
decided to stay by the fire, but during his vigil, he heard more noises
He couldn’t contend with his fear any longer He knew what he had to
do He made a torch and followed the prints He heard a twig snap very
close ahead, but he bravely went on Seconds later, he discovered what had
scared him It was only a kangaroo
Tom went back to his camp and slept In the morning, he found his
squad He had finally learned courage He learned that he had to confront
his fear in order to conquer it
