For thousands of years, the ancient art form of Feng Shui has played a major role in Chinese life Feng Shui means ‘wind and water’ and

it is based on an appreciation of the relationship between people and the environment It involves changing the design of your living or working space to improve your fortune.

For instance, soon after a Hong Kong millionaire moved his business to a new skyscraper, his business began to do very badly He immediately called in Feng Shui experts They told him that because his new office block was round, it was like a huge cigarette, and all the energy was burning off through the roof They said that the only thing he could do to prevent this loss of energy was to build a swimming pool on the roof The millionaire followed their advice, and his business immediately started to do well.

In recent years, Feng Shui has become popular in many western countries, where companies such as B&Q have started to seek advice from Feng Shui experts Before his store was opened, Brian Ingliss, the manager of one of B & Q's stores in Britain, consulted a Feng Shui expert The expert advised him to create a lot of free space around the store Brian followed the advice, and within a year, the store was the most successful B&Q store in the country.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with them or that you don't trust them But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem For instance, people give out body language signals all the time The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive Holding your

head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident All this affects the

way you feel about someone

Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone This may be because of something as simple as the fact that

he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly Your feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening

Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned

was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual

achievement and education It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of change It is important to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn't require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as unskilled Today, our world has changed The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while skilled jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime

A without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far

B the government of the United States want to drive social changes in their own ways

C education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce

D any American citizen who wants to change his driving licence must be very well-educated

A has remained the same B has changed dramatically

C has been reversed D has changed slightly

A always appear brilliant-looking in public B have often been well-exposed to light

C have acquired an adequate level of education D bring light to anywhere they go

A know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life

B study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation

Millions of people are using cellphones today In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one In many

countries, cellphones are very popular with young people They find that the phones are more than a means of

communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected

The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones In England, there has

been a serious debate about this issue Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas

They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health

On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss He couldn't remember even simple tasks

He would often forget the name of his own son This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree

What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation High-tech machines can detect very

small amounts of radiation from mobile phones Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about

As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time Use your mobile phone only when you really need it Mobile phones can

be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often

A they are indispensable in everyday communications B they make them look more stylish

C they keep the users alert all the time D they cannot be replaced by regular phones

A the mobility of the mind and the body B the smallest units of the brain

C the arteries of the brain D the resident memory

A “meanings” B “expression” C “method” D “transmission”

A “obviously” B “possibly” C “certainly” D “privately”

A information on the lethal effects of cellphones B widespread opinion about bad effects of cellphones

C the negative public use of cellphones D poor ideas about the effects of cellphones

A damage their users’ emotions B cause some mental malfunction

C change their users’ temperament D change their users’ social behaviours

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life In the late 19th and early 20th

centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs But such a movement was slow to take hold in the

United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief

that anyone who was willing to work could find a job

Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an American institution Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age

62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated

In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes

Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons

It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S households contribute money to charity

A the people who came earlier B the US government agencies

C only charity organizations D volunteer organizations

A industrialization B modernization C urbanization D population

A “executed” B “studied” C “introduced” D “enforced”

A deductions from wages B people’s willingness to work

C donations from companies D enforcement laws

A were introduced into institutions B did not become institutionalized

C functioned fruitfully in institutions D did not work in institutions

A elderly people ask for more money B the program discourages working people

C the number of elderly people is growing D younger people do not want to work

A low rents B state spending C donations D federal expenditure

A young people’s voluntarism only B volunteer organizations

C people’s growing commitment to charity D innovations in the tax system

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and

medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only

during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace

One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers

Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was

in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one

hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other

By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and

to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader The social, cultural and

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert

hydrogen to helium The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and

is thousands of times larger than the Earth

By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like About five billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter The surface temperature will fall The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun The Sun will then be a red giant star Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf

After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat Such a star is called a black dwarf After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold If

THI G M 80 CÂU (T QUESTION 1 N QUESTION 80)

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 from 1 to 10

Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made in 1936 Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing

him, happened to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines Within four or five years, these young men’s health was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories

The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp

Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a

factory However, the rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained It is replaced by a gentle note of satire Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture

Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain

some of the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations No one who has

seen the film can ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt,

almost losing his mind in the process Another popular scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so that workers need not interrupt their labor to eat The feeding machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin, who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot

escape This serves to illustrate people’s utter helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to

serve their basic needs

Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a

social context It does not offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of many who feel they are victims of an over-mechanised world

A a conversation B a movie C fieldwork D a newspaper

A attracted by the prospect of a better life B forced to leave their sheep farm

C promised better accommodation D driven out of their sheep farm

“ ”

C hurrying up together D jogging side by side

A to reveal the situation of the factory workers B to produce a tacit association

A effortlessly B recklessly C hopelessly D carelessly

A the situation of young workers in a factory

B the scene of an assembly line in operation

C the scene of the malfunction of the feeding machine

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 from 11 to 20

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years It was,

indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals

were introduced about 10,000 years ago

Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their

numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts

and arctic wastelands In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability

of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the

coasts and waterways The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies

Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period

A adapting animals to suit a new working environment

B hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home

C teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home

D making wild animals used to living with and working for humans

A hunter-gatherers’ tools B nature’s provision

C farming methods D agricultural products

A disadvantaged B suburban C forgotten D abandoned

A can free themselves from hunting B have better food gathering from nature

C live along the coasts and waterways for fishing D harvest shorter seasonal crops
