Chào các bạn Ngày nay tiếng anh thực sự quan trọng, nó là thứ sống còn quyết định thành công của bạn, Chúng ta cần giỏi tiếng Anh để giao tiếp là một chuyện; chúng ta còn cần giỏi tiếng Anh để tự học những kiến thức qua hàng ngàn bài giảng miễn phí bằng tiếng Anh để tự nâng cấp mình lên, tránh làn sóng đào thải quá mạnh mẽ đang ập đến. Năm 2017 này không giống như những năm trước đây nữa. Chúng ta không giỏi tiếng Anh là chúng ta sẽ thấy ngay hậu quả. Nó sẽ không còn nhiều những việc làm dành cho người dở tiếng Anh và kiến thức thì lại quá lỗi thời nữa. Tất cả những việc đó sẽ bị thay thế bởi tự động hoá, robot và thông minh nhân tạo. Chúng ta sẽ bị đẩy xuống nhiều bậc bên dưới để làm những việc robot chưa chạm được đến và chắc chắc là kiếm không đủ sống với chi phí sinh hoạt ngày càng mắc mỏ hơn. vì vậy hãy bắt tay ngay vào học tiếng anh nha các bạn

KEEP YOUR MONEY SAFE ONLINE
Those days more and more people are making purchases online As a result,
there is a lot of financial information floating around out there on the internet So, if
you’re not doing so already, you need to take measures to protect yourself
One rule that is often quoted is never use the same password twice The problem
with this rule is that it can be very difficult to remember many different online
passwords One solution is to simplify things by using variations on the same
theme For example, you could choose passwords that are all the names of streets
where you have lived, countries you have visited, your favorite animals, the colors
of the rainbow, and so on Adding numbers to the ends of the words will provide
even greater password security
Experts also warn that consumers should never write down passwords That is, of
course, generally true However, forgetting a password can cause a great deal of
inconvenience It can be safe to note your passwords, as long as you disguise
them in some way Add a few extra letters and numbers at the beginning and end,
or “hide” them in a note to an imaginary friend If you do write down your
passwords, then you should definitely remember to always keep them separate
from the accounts they relate to Following a few simple rules can help you to keep
access to your money safe and secure
153 Who is this article intended for?
(A) Online shoppers
(B) Security experts
(C) Website developers
(D) Software engineers
154 What is implied about the use of passwords for online security?
(A) Many passwords look alike

Questions 166 – 169 refer to the following memo.
To: All Staff
From: Nigel McGuiness
Subject: Cost-cutting
As you all know, in these difficult economic times the company is making every
effort to save money wherever we can As a result, it has been decided that we will
no longer employ an outside cleaning agency We have therefore canceled our
contract with Avon Cleaning Services, effective immediately From now on, it is up
to all of us to keep our own work areas and offices clean
To help with this, one green recycling bin has been ordered for each office These
will be delivered next week, and placed in a corner Please make sure that all
recyclable trash is placed in this bin
Someone from each office needs to be responsible for taking out the trash every
collection day (Wednesday for recyclable and Friday for regular trash) Other
people can take turns vacuuming and dusting (preferably on Fridays, late in the
afternoon) Appropriate equipment, cleaning products, etc will be kept in the large
storage cabinet behind the reception desk Department supervisors will draw up a
schedule
This measure will obviously save us money (around $2,300 per month) We also
suspect that the company will end up throwing away less trash, and so this will
help us meet our "corporate social responsibility" goal of reducing the waste we
generate
Thank you for your cooperation
