TV dinners?
TV programmes with (35) chefs are partly responsible for several positive effects on our
eating habits They have (36) more people to cook at home, rather than rely on takeaways or
(37) meals Additionally, as a result of these programmes, school canteens now offer healthier
options and more schools are involved (38) producing their own food in projects such as school
farms
Problems remain, though, and many people blame our (39) diets on pre-prepared meals bought
in supermarkets (40) , recent research suggests that (41) presented on cookery
programmes teach us to cook meals which (42) more fat and less fibre than shop-bought meals, so
they are actually worse for us
Even if the food we learn to cook from the television is healthy, the fact is that we eat too much of it
Experts say that we need less emphasis on food, not more They (43) eating a balanced diet of
meals prepared at home with plenty of (44) food like salad vegetables and fruits
Sadly, the healthiest option would not make for very interesting TV viewing

VIII 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
The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceability of British copyright law in the American colonies
made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers Although they rarely undertook major
publishing project because it was difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be imported from Europe,
printers in Philadelphia did publish work that required only small amounts of capital, paper, and type
Broadsides could be published with minimal financial risk Consisting of only one sheet of paper and requiring
small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments of capital than longer works Furthermore, the
broadside format lent itself to subjects of high, if temporary, interest, enabling them to meet with ready sale If
the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced a sheet that did not sell, it was not likely to be a
major loss, and the printer would know this immediately There would be no agonizing wait with large amounts
of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the shelves, and creditors impatient for payment
In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts, catechisms, primers,
and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy Chapbook were pamphlet-sized books, usually
containing popular tales, ballads, poems, short plays, and jokes, small, both in formal and number of pages,
they were generally bound simply, in boards (a form of cardboard) or merely stitched in paper wrappers (a
sewn antecedent of modern-day paperbacks) Pamphlets and chapbooks did not require fine paper or a great
deal of type to produce they could thus be printed in large, cost-effective editions and sold cheaply
By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that had proven to be
steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of income for the publisher They would not, by nature,
be highly topical or political, as such publications would prove of fleeting interest Almanacs, annual
publications that contained information on astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to the days,
week, and months of a given year, provided the perfect steady seller because their information pertained to the
locale in which they would be used
Câu 45: Which aspect of colonial printing does the passage mainly discuss?

IX 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
In a study of aspirin's effect on blood clotting in which abstinence from chocolate was required, a large
proportion of participants broke the rules
Their "offence" led to what is believed to be the first biochemical evidence that a few squares of chocolate a
day can almost halve the risk of heart attack death by decreasing the tendency of tiny particles (or platelets) to
clot in narrow blood vessels
"What these chocolate offenders taught us is that the chemical in cocoa beans has a biochemical effect
similar to aspirin in reducing platelet clumping, which can be fatal if a clot forms and blocks a blood vessel,
causing a heart attack," said Diane Becker from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA, who led the
study
Becker cautions that this discovery should not become an excuse to indulge in large amounts of chocolate
frequently, since chocolate also contains high amounts of sugar, butter and cream However just a few squares
of dark chocolate the purest form may be just what the doctor ordered
For almost 20 years researchers have known that chemicals, called flavonoids, most common in dark
chocolate, help blood flow and lower blood pressure
This new finding, presented at the American Heart Association's annual scientific sessions in Chicago this
week, identifies the effect of everyday doses of chocolate found in regular foods such as hot chocolate or
chocolate bars This differs from previous studies which have examined the effects of eating unrealistic doses
of flavonoids, equivalent to several pounds of chocolate a day
"Eating a little bit of chocolate or having a drink of hot cocoa as part of a regular diet is probably good for
personal health, so long as people don't eat too much of it, and too much of the kind with lots of butter and
sugar," said Becker

In the study, 139 chocolate offenders were disqualified from a larger experiment which aimed to examine
the effects of aspirin on blood clotting Before the study began, all participants were instructed to follow a strict
exercise and diet regimen and to refrain from smoking or using foods and drinks known to affect blood-clotting
activity, like caffeinated drinks, wine, grapefruit juice and, of course, chocolate
Platelet samples from both groups (offenders and non-offenders) were run through a mechanical blood
vessel system designed to time how long it takes for platelets to clump together Chocolate lovers' samples
were found to clot more slowly, on average taking 130 seconds to block the system Platelets from those who
stayed away from chocolate clotted faster, taking an average of 123 seconds
Câu 55: According to the findings, what helps lower blood pressure?
A The chemical reaction in dark chocolate
B The tiny particles in white chocolate
C The most common chemicals in dark chocolate
D The most important ingredient in chocolate
Câu 56: The word "abstinence" can be interpreted as
