When it comes to ambition, no two people are alike Every class has its outstanding students,
every company has its wonderful employees, and every family has its successful members Then there is someone who is happy with whatever life brings So what makes us different?
A person's desire to succeed depends on so many factors He or she may have goals, but
without the ambition to get started, they never take the first steps to achieve them Similarly, those with an ambition but no clear goals tend to begin many projects, but do not ever follow them till theend
Although there are not any strict rules about how to teach "ambition” or what decides it, many successful people do share some things Most scientists agree that it helps to have parents who encourage the children to try new experiences, praise their successes, and accept their failures In those families, kids often have much higher confidence levels They know how to set goals and
keep trying until they achieve them Money also plays an important role Those who are not very
rich often want to earn money It forces them to work hard all the time and improve their life
However, the desire for success can create its own stress Working too hard to achieve success
can lead to illness These days, even teens and young adults are feeling the stress Trying to get into
good colleges and find good jobs have forced high school students to study harder than ever For many, it is difficult to find the balance One solution may be to get together with family and friends,

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 questions
Do you know where the most expensive house in the universe is located? Some might guessHollywood, where some of the richest and most famous movie stars have their homes Others mightthink of New York City, where a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan can cost more than amansion in the suburbs But they would all be wrong, because this is a trick question The mostexpensive house isn’t even properly located on Earth It’s the International Space Station (ISS),
which is circling in orbit above us right now The cost to build this engineering marvel, which is
roughly the size of a football field, is around 150 billion dollars
Many different governments cooperated in order to plan and build the ISS, including theUSA, Russia, Japan, Canada, and Europe Creation began in 1998, after the countries decided to
band together and merge their space missions to create the ISS Many countries used their
spacecraft to deliver the parts for the ISS, little by little, into space First came the operating systemsand hardware Then, two years later, a Russian rocket delivered the living quarters (complete with
Trang 15beds, toilets, and a kitchen) that would make the ISS habitable for humans Over time, more spacemissions to the ISS added new parts to the space station that would make it easier for astronauts tocome in and out of the station.
Space travel and erection of spacecraft are two of the most expensive projects a country can
take on And while some people on the space station project think it’s a good idea to charge money
to space “tourists” in order to provide more funds for the project, others think that it does not alignwith the original purposes of the ISS But the fact is, no country or individual can afford the giantprice tag for this important space “house” alone, so they must keep working together

Trang 22Green pass: how are Covid vaccine passports working for Israel?
As the UK and other governments consider whether to give Covid-vaccinated people a certificate
that allows entry to bars, hotels, and swimming pools, one country, Israel, has already deployed its
“green pass”
The state of 9 million, which has administered jabs to half its population, released an app a week
ago that shows whether people have been fully inoculated against the coronavirus or if they have
presumed immunity after contracting the disease
Malls and museums have reopened for all, but green pass holders get exclusive access to gyms,hotels, theatres, and concerts, albeit with some limits Indoor dining in restaurants and bars is due to
be included in the green pass scheme next week
Life has not got “back to normal”, but it appears to be on its way Street-side shops are reopening;hotels are accepting bookings; even live music is reemerging from its long slumber And whilemasks remain mandatory, many older people who have already been vaccinated have stoppedwearing them outdoors

As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production ofpictures, computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computerscience It is used routinely in such diverse areas as business industry, art government, education,research, training and medicine
One of the initial uses of computer graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as anaid to design, generally referred to as computer-aid design (CAD) One of its greatest advantages isthat designers can see how an object will look after construction and make changes freely and muchmore quickly than hand drafting For three- dimensional rendering of machine parts, engineers nowrely heavily on CAD Automobile, spacecraft, aerospace and ship designers use CAD techniques todesign vehicles and test their performance Building designs are also created with computer graphicsystems Architects can design a building layout, create a three-dimensional model, and even go for
a simulated “walk” through the rooms or around the outside of the building
Business graphics is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used to
create graphs, charts and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical, scientificand economic data As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create weather mapsand cartographic materials Computer art also has creative and commercial art applications, where it

It's called 42 - the name taken from the answer to the meaning of life, from the sciencefiction series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 42 was founded by French technologybillionaire Xavier Niel, whose backing means there are no tuition fees and accommodation is free
Mr Niel and his co-founders come from the world of technology and start-ups, and they are trying
to do to education what Facebook did to communication and Airbnb to accommodation
Students at 42 are given a choice of projects that they might be set in a job as a software
engineer - perhaps to design a website or a computer game They complete a project using
resources freely available on the Internet and by seeking help from their fellow students, who work
alongside them in a large open-plan room full of computers Another student will then be randomly
assigned to mark their work
The founders claim this method of learning makes up for shortcomings in the traditionaleducation system, which they say encourages students to be passive recipients of knowledge "Peer-to-peer learning develops students with the confidence to search for solutions by themselves, often
in quite creative and ingenious ways."
Like in computer games, the students are asked to design and they go up a level bycompleting a project They graduate when they reach level 21, which usually takes three to fiveyears And at the end, there is a certificate but no formal degree Recent graduates are now working
at companies including IBM, Amazon, and Tesla, as well as starting their own firms
"The feedback we have had from employers is that our graduates are more apt to go off andfind out information for themselves, rather than asking their supervisors what to do next," saysBrittany Bir, chief operating officer of 42 in California and a graduate of its sister school in Paris
Ms Bir says 42's graduates will be better able to work with others and discuss and defend their ideas
Trang 37- an important skill in the “real world” of work "This is particularly important in computer
programming, where individuals are notorious for lacking certain human skills," she says
But could 42's model of teacherless learning work in mainstream universities? Brittany Biradmits 42's methods do not suit all students "It suits individuals who are very disciplined and self-motivated, and who are not scared by having the freedom to work at their own pace," she says
Question 13: According to the passage, 42 is
A a kind of school B a type of accommodation
C an innovation in technology D a tool of virtual communication
Question 14: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to
A students at 42 B projects C resources D software engineers
Question 15: The author mentions “to design a website or a computer game” in paragraph 2 to
illustrate
A a job that a French software engineer always does
B a choice of assignment that students at 42 have to complete
C a free resource available on the Internet
D a help that students at 42 get for their work
Question 16: What do 42’s graduates receive on completion of their course?
A a certificate B a degree C a project D a design
Question 17: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A The founders of 42 share the idea of providing free service on Facebook
B It normally takes 42’s students at least five years to complete their course
C The students of 42 are required to play computer games during their course
D 42’s peer-to-peer approach promotes active learning and working
Question 18: According to Ms Bir, 42’s graduates will be able to improve
A the skills of giving feedback B the skills of searching for information
C the skills of teamwork and debating D the skills of software programming
Question 19: The word “notorious” in paragraph 5 can be best replaced by
A respectable B incompetent C infamous D memorable
Question 20: It can be inferred from the passage that
A 42 is a good choice for people of all ages and nationalities
