It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it We often value the love and worth of a friend when he has been taken from us by death more than when he was with us in the flesh; it is only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our opportunity of education, which has gone
forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good health When we are young and strong, we
Trang 4Chu Van An secondary school 2009
cannot imagine what it is to be weak and ailing We are so used to vigorous health that we take it for granted The
organs of our body work so smoothly that we scarcely know we have lungs and liver, heart and stomach But when
any of these gets upset and gives us pain and sickness, we learn by bitter experience what an unspeakable blessing
it is to be well
Loss of health makes us miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friend It cripples our efforts so that we
cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done It spoils our life What must we do to
keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple food Gluttony
has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands We must, when young, get plenty of sleep, which is
“nature’s sweet restorer”, and not try to burn the candle at both ends We must live as much possible in
the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated We must get sufficient and regular physical exercise, and keep our
bodies clean And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and keep our thoughts clean and
our bodies pure Our ideal must be the sound mind in the sound body
1 According to the passage, we often appreciate our friends
A only when they are with us B only when they were good to us
C only when they passed away D only when they lived a long way from us
2 We do not take care of our heath because
A we are always in good health B most of the diseases can be cured nowadays
C we are so accustomed to good health D we are so busy making a living
3 Poor health makes us
C a shame to our friends D fail to become famous
4 According to the author, having plenty of sleep when we are young
A is wasting our time B can help us regain our strength
C may cause health problems D can reduce our vigour

VI Choose the best title for each of the following paragraphe:
1 Anyone who thinks they would like to get a job, acquire a skill or take up a new sport, learn about the world's archaeological heritage or go on an expedition by land or sea will find the contacts in this Guide Whoever you are and whatever your Interests, you will find something to get you started At last there is no excuse for wasting your vacation when you can be improving your skills: practical, academic or social; go for it!
2.With the busy lives many people live, forward thinking does not always get the consideration it
should Some holidays clearly require early booking and with some archaeological camps, expeditions and anything involving a trip to a distant part of the world, it is essential to do something as early as possible
However, it is sometimes possible to apply late and get on a waiting list
3 Many embarking on such a venture for the first time consider taking someone with them However,
thousands of people go it, alone for a variety of reasons, not least that they can't find anyone to go with them
You will have more chance to take in your surroundings and receive the full benefit of the experience Going on your own is likely to be more interesting and will bring out your individuality and develop self-confidence
4 For almost any trip, you will need to take clothing, washing kit and swimming gear, and as you'll certainly want to take photographs, don't forget the 35 camera Most people overpack, quite forgetting that they will have to canny their luggage for themselves for fairly long distances at ferry ports and other termini, or that there may be things to bring back which they have bought or been given on the trip
5 Before leaving, it is important to check on the vaccination requirements For hot climates, be prepared
to suffer from minor ailments such as sunburn and stomach upsets Take precautionary measures Try to avoid mosquito bites but take your anti-malaria treatments anyway
