Trang 5in used in China at least as early as the 17th
century, but the Chinese version of the sauce wasmade of picked fish, shellfish, and spices The popularity of this Chinese sauce spread to
Singapore and Malaysia, where it was called kechap The Indonesian ketjab derives its name
from the same source of the Malaysian sauce but is made from very different ingredients.The Indonesian ketjab is made by cooking black soy beans, fermenting them, placing them in
a salt brine for at least a week, cooking the resulting solution further, and sweetening itheavily; this process results in a dark, thick and sweet variation of soy sauce
Early in the 18th
century, sailors from the British navy came across this exotic sauce onvoyages to Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to England on returnvoyages English chefs tried to recreate the sauce but were unable to do exactly because keyingredients were unknown or unavailable in England; chefs ended up substituting ingredientssuch as mushrooms and walnuts in an attempt to recreate the special taste of the original

century England,appearing in a number of recipe books and features as an exotic addition to menus from theperiod
The English version did not contain tomatoes, and it was not until the end of the 18thcentury that tomatoes became main ingredients in the ketchup of the United States It isquite notable that tomatoes were added to the sauce and that tomatoes had previously beenconsidered quite dangerous to health That tomato had been cultivated by the Aztecs, whohad called it tomalt; however, early botanists had recognized that tomato was a member ofthe Solanecaea family, which does include a number of poisonous plant, the leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not

century, both of the tomato and

Tomato ketchup, popular through it was, was quite time-consuming to prepare In
1876, the first mass-produced tomato ketchup, a product of German-American Henry Heizn,went on sale and achieved immediate success From tomato ketchup, Heizn branched outinto a number of other products, including various sauces, pickles, and relish

Trang 22It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their accents Unlike children, who are flexible, adults often find it hard to change the way they speak This is why even the top or smartest adult students have difficulty with pronunciation There are several things that an international student can do to improve his or her pronunciation.
One method is to sign up for a pronunciation class Studying pronunciation can help students to
understand the rules of English, but in order to practice speaking students often need to be exposed to
English outside the classroom as well This is why many students say that studying in an English-speaking
country greatly affects their English Living with native speakers can help students to pick up new vocabulary as well as improve their accents International students can also learn important cultural information This can help
to prevent misunderstandings that may occur when people from different cultures live together.
However, living with someone from another culture can be difficult International students are usually excited when they first show up at their new homes, but after a few months they may start to think about their home countries and get homesick Students who are homesick get depressed quickly They might cry a lot or want to be alone This makes it difficult for them to make friends and learn English.
66 According to the passage, it seems that
A all that the students need to improve their pronunciation is to practice more outside the classroom
B attending a pronunciation class can be very helpful to adult learners who have problems with their pronunciation.
C most younger students cannot change their pronunciation.
D adult students of English cannot improve their accents because they are slow to change
67 What does the phrase “to be exposed to English” in the second paragraph mean?
A Imitating native speakers.
B Avoiding speaking English outside the classroom.
C Living in an English–speaking environment.
D Listening to native speakers
68 Which of the flowing is TRUE?
A The passage implies that adult learners should not study English in an English-speaking country to avoid these problems.
B Many students feel depressed because they cannot improve their pronunciation.
C On their arrival, most international students may forget about the problems because they are very excited.
D To avoid misunderstandings about cultures, students should live with native speakers.
69 According to the passage, many international students feel depressed because
A living with someone from another culture can be difficult.
Trang 23B they are lonely.
C they are homesick.
D they cannot improve their pronunciation.
70 What does the passage mainly discuss?
