Women often complain that the men in their lives are not romantic enough But men sometimes have troubleexpressing their feelings, often resorting to cheesy Hall Mark cards or pricey bejeweled baubles to do the jobfor them But there is a far better way to be romantic and it doesn’t involve spending a fortune or evenopening your mouth
In the days before courting consisted of hanging out and getting drinks, courting was a formal
and dignified endeavor Symbols were used to express feelings and thoughts deemed too special for mere
words During the Victorian Era, a whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving offlowers Everything from the type and size of the flower to the way it was held or presented conveyed layers
of meaning and communicated a gentleman’s feelings and intentions Each bouquet contained a secretmessage for a lady to eagerly interpret and endlessly dissect
These days giving flowers has become a somewhat ho-hum cliché Resurrecting this Victorian tradition willinfuse the gesture with new life and romance and bring back some of the subtly, mystery, and fun ofcourtship Your lady will swoon that you put far more thought into your selection of flowers than grabbing abouquet out of the case at Wal-Mart You’ll come off as a real gentleman and a hopeless romantic It canbecome an amazing tradition you’ll both enjoy Seriously, women eat this stuff up
Of course, even women nowadays have forgotten the meanings of flowers So buy your lady a flowerdictionary And keep a copy for yourself (it’s important that you both use the same reference, as themeanings were never set in stone and can sometimes vary from book to book) Then, each time you
present her with a bouquet, she can search the volume to find what secret messages you have embedded in
the flowers
39 What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?
A To complain that men are not romantic enough.
B To prove that men are not as romantic as women.
C To suggest ways for men to be more romantic.
D To explain what is called “romance”.
40 The word “dignified” in paragraph 2 mostly means .
41 Which of the following does NOT express a secret message for the female receiver during the Victorian
Era?
C The way flowers are wrapped D The colors of the flowers
Trang 642 As mentioned in the third paragraph, it’s so moving if a man .
A takes a bouquet available B thinks of the flowers carefully before choosing.
C enjoys giving flowers to a woman D gives his woman something to eat.
43 What does the word “her” in the last paragraph refer to?
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer
to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
More often than not, you can't just "order up a job" by responding to an online posting and have it delivered
in one or two days as if you were buying whatever your heart desires on Amazon Even as employers arehiring at a higher rate than they have in the last several years, it can often take months to work your waythrough the job search process If you are a new graduate yet to receive a job offer, if you recently moved to
a new locale with your spouse or partner or if you are unemployed for any other reason, you may findsuccess in your job search by spending time volunteering at a nonprofit organization
Both the nonprofit and for-profit worlds need people with many of the same talents The best volunteer jobsfor you to consider are ones where the experience you acquire will be applicable in the "forpay" position youwant to attain It's often the case that once you display your passion for the organization and its mission, andhave demonstrated your abilities, you'll earn strong consideration when a paying position opens up that canbenefit from your talents Even if you don't have a path to employment at the place you volunteer, byhighlighting your volunteer experience on your resume, you can demonstrate that you haven't been wastingyour time away staying at home watching the grass grow
There are a few strategies you might adopt when considering at which organization you'll want to volunteer
You'll probably want to make a priority of volunteering to do what you've already done, or want to do, in the
for-profit sector Alternatively, however, it might make sense to volunteer to do something where you canturn an area of professional weakness into a new strength Remember, as well, that nonprofit organizationsmaintain strong relationships with their corporate sponsors, and you might look for a volunteer position that
would enable you to be that nexus point between the two And, especially if you are recently out of school,
you should look for positions that let you learn about an occupation, a field of interest or an industry
As you try to determine what you want to volunteer to do, and where you want to do it, make three lists:
your etable skills, the roles you seek and the kinds of charitable organizations you would want to support.
For example, perhaps your skills cluster around accounting, marketing or event planning Think about howthese might come in handy for organizations that need financial help figuring out how to brand theorganization to attract other volunteers or donors or run anything from charitable golf tournaments to galadinners
44 What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?
A To explain why volunteer work is always beneficial to volunteers.
Trang 7B To advise unemployed people to do voluntary work.
C To prove that people can have a good job via doing volunteer work.
D To describe the procedure to have a profit job.
45 According to the first passage, the following should spend time volunteering at a nonprofit organization, EXCEPT _.
46 As mentioned in paragraph 2, what should the volunteers pay attention to when searching for an unpaid
job?
A They should not mention what voluntary jobs they have done in the resume.
B They should merely display their abilities when doing the for-pay jobs.
C The best type of volunteer work should be relevant to the one they want to get wages.
D The employers may think you have been wasting time doing nonprofit jobs.
47 The word “priority” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A precedence B unimportance C demonstration D preference
48 What does the phrase “the two” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A volunteer jobs and for-profit jobs B volunteer jobs and their organizations
C unpaid jobs and corporate sponsors D nonprofit organizations and corporate sponsors
49 What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A Doing the voluntary work that you’re not good at is not a good idea.
B Volunteering is a perfect time to change your weak points into the new good ones.
C Keeping contacts with corporate sponsors will help you to have a good-paid job in the future.
D It’s ideal for graduates to choose the positions similar to the jobs they have learnt.
50 The phrase “etable skills” in the last paragraph mostly means .
A the practical skills you can learn from selling things at the Markets.
B the technical skills for a particular job.
C the useful skills that make an employer want to give you a job.
D the skills you have been taught at schools.
