FIRST TIME IN THE AIR

When John Mills was going to fly in an aeroplane for the first time, he was frightened He did not like the idea of being thousands of feet up in the air “ ‘I also didn’t like the fact that I wouldn’t be

in control,” says John “I’m a terrible passenger in the car When somebody else is driving, I tell them what to so It drives everybody crazy.”

However John couldn’t avoid flying any longer It was the only way he could visit his grandchildren in Canada “I had made up my mind that I was going to do it, I couldn’t let my son, his wife and their three children travel all the way here to visit me It would be so expensive for them and I know Tom’s business isn’t doing so well at the moment – it would also be tiring for the children – it’s a nine-hour flight!” he says

To get ready for the flight John did lots of reading about aeroplanes When he booked his seat, he was told that he would be flying on a Boeing 747, which is better known as a jumbo jet “I needed

to know as much as possible before getting in that plane I suppose it was a way of making myself feel better The Boeing 747 is the largest passenger aircraft in the world at the moment The first one flew on February 9th 1969 in the USA It can carry up to 524 passengers and 3.400 pieces of luggage The fuel for aeroplanes is kept in the wings and the 747’s wings are so big that they can carry enough fuel for an average car to be able to travel 16,000 kilometres a year for 70 years

Isn’t that unbelievable? Even though I had discovered all this very interesting information about the jumbo, when I saw it for the first time, just before I was going to travel to Canada, I still couldn’t believe that something so enormous was going to get up in the air and fly I was even more impressed when I saw how big it was inside with hundreds of people!”

The biggest surprise of all for John was the flight itself “The take-off itself was much smoother than I expected although I was still quite scared until we were in the air In the end, I managed to relax, enjoy the food and watch one of the movies and the view from the window was spectacular

I even managed to sleep for a while! Of course,” continues John, “the best reward of all was when

I arrived in Canada and saw my son and his family, particularly my beautiful grandchildren

Suddenly, I felt so silly about all the years when I couldn’t even think of getting on a plane I had let my fear of living stop me from seeing the people I love most in the world I can visit my son and family as often as I like now!”

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjective and, therefore, variable Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss Particularly

in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes

physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed

including human beings In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict,

the skin pales, and muscles tense In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about

by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding

in the same way that we would respond to danger Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of

noise as well Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they

cry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very important Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other

C It is unwanted D People become accustomed to it

Question 29 The word congested in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by

A hazardous B crowded C polluted D rushed

Question 30 The word it in the first paragraph refers to

A The quality of life B our advancing technology

C the noise D physical and psychological harm

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MUSIC Think for a moment about the last music album you bought Most likely, you’ll think of the singer

Trang 7

or band that made you want to buy the album You might even know the name of the guitar player

or the drummer Those talented performers, however, are only some of the people in the music industry work behind the scenes, but the roles they play in the musical progress are very important

Songwriters: Songs begin with the songwriter Some songwriters work alone, but many work in

teams that combine the talents of a lyricist, who writes the words to songs, and an instrumentalist, often a piano player or guitarist, who writes the music Many of today’s pop stars work with songwriters For example, some of Lady Gaga’s biggest hits were written by Nadir Khayat, also known “RedOne” Some songwriting teams have become very famous, such as Mike Stock, Matt Aitken, and Pete Waterman, who were responsible for many big 1980s pop hits

Arrangers: After a song has been written, music arrangers make it more appealing by deciding

which instruments will be used, what tempo, or speed, the song will have, and whether the song should have a lower or higher pitch A good arrangement can bring a song to life and make it a

classic

Studio Musicians: Not every singer or instrumentalist can be a star, and many work in the

background as studio musicians These artists are not a part of any one musical group Instead, they are hired for recording sessions that eventually become the albums you buy, as well as soundtracks for television shows, movies, and radio ads

Recording Engineers: Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound that

you hear First, these engineers set up the recording studio, the room where the performers play, placing musicians and microphones in exactly the right places to get the best sound Next, they use electronic equipment, such multi-track recorders, to capture the music Finally, long after the musicians have gone home, recording engineers use a mixing board to balance the melodies and rhythms of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special sound effects or additional tracks

The Rise of Robots

As kids, our grandparents frequently scared us by talking about how difficult life was when they were growing up They mentioned walking miles to school in the snow, or doing hours of manual labour for little pay Life has changed greatly since then, and it seems to get easier year by year In fact, with the help of robots we soon might have to do much at all But is this a good thing?

By 2030, it’s estimated that robotics will be a $10 billion business worldwide Companies are already starting to integrate them into the workforce The electronics manufacturer Foxconn is drawing up plans to launch a factory within the next 10 years that’s completely staffed by robot workers Meanwhile, an American company Briggo has invented a robot that serves gourmet- quality coffee to customers With the push of a button it will crush coffee beans, measure exact quantities of water, and even wave a steam wand to ensure customers get the perfect cream on top

Unlike human baristas, it can serve multiple drinks at once and work all day and night without a break

Robots are also invading our homes The Rooma is a mini-robot that vacuums rooms automatically according to a schedule The Robomow is a device that will cut the grass for you while you sit in the shade Then there’s the Nanda clocky, an alarm clock that makes sure that even the deepest sleepers get up on time The clock is attached to a pair of wheels, and it will randomly move around the room Once you finally catch it, you’re probably too awake to hit the snooze button Although these early home robots are somewhat basic, they will likely become more capable as times goes on

Although robots certainly help us to eliminate tedious tasks, many people are concerned about a future filled with robots Some fear that humanity will start to decline if machines do everything for us Others have even warned about the robot rebellion, in which robots become so smart that they may decide to turn on their masters These ideas may seem a bit far-fetched, but there are certainly lots of questions that need to be answered before everyone opens up to the idea of a robotic future

21 How is Briggo’s invention superior to human workers?

A It is more knowledgeable about coffee-making

B It is better at conversation

C It never has to stop

D It can operate machinery

22 What would happen if you pressed the snooze button?

A You would have to wake up immediately B The alarm clock would turn off forever

C The alarm would stop, but go off again soon D Nothing would happen at all

23 Which of the following is NOT true about the concerns over roboties?

A It takes some time for people to accept robots

B Robots may do some harm to humans

C The idea of robotics may seem far-fetched

D Robots may be dominant at the workplace

24 The word “tedious” in the last paragraph mostly means

A boring B difficult C intelligent D expensive

25 What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A Some reasons why people don’t accept robots yet

B A very amusing science-fiction story about robots

Trang 9

C How people in local communities are supporting robots

D A few of the lastest robots on the market today

26 According to the first paragraph, how is the life changed since our parents time?

A The education system has got much worse

B Things aren’t as hard as they once were

C Children have to walk longer distance to school

D It hasn’t changed much at all

27 All of the following are true about robots EXCEPT that

A they can work all day and night without break

B they have greater capabilities

C they can draw up plans to launch a story

D they can do boring tasks for human

28 We can infer from the passage that

A present domestic robots can work without any programs

B the communication will decline with the use of robots

C a robot rebellion can happen daily

D robotics will have been a major business by 2030

It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education Nevertheless, it has

been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school The difference between

schooling and education implied by this remark is important

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling Education knows no limits

It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on the tractor It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio , from a child to a famous scientist Whereas schooling

has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises A chance conversation

with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions People receive education from infancy on Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught

For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the

truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmarkers are experimenting with There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling

B schooling takes place everywhere

C all of life is an education

D education is totally ruined by schooling

Question 21 What does the writer mean by saying “education quite often produces surprises”?

A Educators often produce surprises

B Informal learning often brings about unexpected results

C Success of informal learning is predictable

D It’s surprising that we know little about other religions

Question 22 Which of the following would the writer support?

A Without formal education, people won’t be able to read and write

B Going to school is only part of how people become educated

C Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day D

Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible Question

23 According to the passage, the doers of education are

A only respected grandparents B mostly famous scientists

C mainly politicians D almost all people

HOW TO AVOID MISCOMMUNICATION IN THE WORKPLACE

As a small-business owner, you can avoid many problems simply by improving communication in your office By clarifying everyone's expectations and roles, you'll help to (30) greater trust and increase productivity among employees Here are a few tips for doing so

Practice active listening The art of active listening includes (31) close attention to what another person is saying, then paraphrasing what you've heard and repeating it back Concentrate (32) the conversation at hand and avoid unwanted interruptions (cell phone calls, others walking into your office, etc.) Take note of how your own experience and values may color your perception

Pay attention to non-verbal cues We don't communicate with words alone Every conversation comes with a host of non-verbal cues - facial expressions, body language, etc - that may (33) contradict what we're saying Before addressing a staff member or (34) a project conference, think carefully about your tone of voice, how you make eye contact, and what your body is "saying." Be consistent throughout

Be clear and to the point Don't cloud instructions or requests with irrelevant details, such as problems with past projects or issues with long-departed personnel State what you need and what you expect Ask, "Does anyone have any questions?" Demonstrate that you prefer questions up- front as opposed to misinterpretation later on

The cause of tooth decay is acid, which is produced by bacteria in the mouth The acid removes minerals from tooth enamel, allowing tooth decay to begin; the saliva in your mouth encourages remineralization and neutralizes the acid The rate at which bacteria in the mouth produce acid depends on the amount of plaque on the teeth, the composition of the microbial flora, and whether the bacteria of the plaque have been "primed" by frequent exposure to sugar To keep your teeth healthy, a regular dental hygiene program should be followed

Removing plaque with a toothbrush and dental floss temporarily reduces the numbers of bacteria

in the mouth and thus reduces tooth decay It also makes the surfaces of the teeth more accessible,

enabling saliva to neutralize acid and remineralize lesions If fluoride is present in drinking water when teeth are forming, some fluoride is incorporated into the enamel of the teeth, making them more resistant to attack by acid Fluoride toothpaste seems to act in another way, by promoting the remineralization of early carious lesions

In addition to a regular dental hygiene program, a good way to keep your teeth healthy is to reduce your intake of sweet food The least cavity-causing way to eat sweets is to have them with meals and not between The number of times you eat sweets rather than the total amount

determines how much harmful acid the bacteria in your saliva produce But the amount of sweets influences the quality of your saliva Avoid, if you can, sticky sweets that stay in your mouth a long time Also try to brush and floss your teeth after eating sugary foods Even rinsing your mouth with water is effective Whenever possible, eat foods with fiber, such as raw carrot sticks,

apples, celery sticks, etc., that scrape off plaque, acting as a toothbrush Cavities can be greatly

reduced if these rules are followed when eating sweets

34 What does this passage mainly discuss?

A Good nutrition B Food with fiber

C Ways to keep your teeth healthy D Fluoridization and cavities

35 The word “it” refers to

B It is not affected by eating sweets

C It can be removed from teeth by brushing and flossing

D It reduces the positive effect of saliva

37 We can infer from the passage that one benefit of fluoride to healthy teeth is _

A It strengthens tooth enamel

B It stimulates saliva production

C It makes teeth whiter

D It is a replacement for brushing and flossing in dental care

38 What can be concluded from the passage about sweets?

A All sweets should be avoided

B Sweets should be eaten with care

C It is better to eat sweets a little at a time throughout the day

D Sticky sweets are less harmful than other sweets

39 The author of the passage states that the amount of acid produced by the bacteria in your saliva increases

A with the amount of sweets you eat B with the number of times you eat sweets

C if you eat sweets with your meals D if you eat sticky sweets

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care

View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living

Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends

to where you live Here are just a few of the factors to consider

Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or

cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you

Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you

cannot accept Then rank them in order of importance to you

The setting of the job is one factor to take into account You may not want to sit at a desk all day

If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country

If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission

Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it Some industries evoke positive or negative associations The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a

plumber does not Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors

Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities The choice you make today need not be your final one
