of the questions.
Naming customs are different around the world In most cultures, however, people have at least two names: a family name and a given name Your given name is the name you receive when you are born Your family name is the name you share with other people in your family In the United States, the family name is often called the last name, and the given name is often called the first name However, the order
of the two names is not the same everywhere For example, in many Asian countries, the family name is first and the given name is second When two people from different cultures meet, sometimes they use the incorrect name This can cause embarrassment
Family names can show something about a family's early history The origin of many English
family names is a place, like London, or a job, such as Farmer or Shoemaker A long time ago, these
families probably worked as farmers or shoemakers Swedish and Danish family names often mean son
of For example, Johansson means son of Johan In South Korea, there are only about 250 family names
These names go back hundreds of years to very old clans About half of all Koreans have one of the three
most common family names - Kim, Park, or Lee
There is generally no choice about a family name, but there is much more choice about given names Parents choose their child's name for many different reasons They may select a name that sounds beautiful or means something special These names may have meanings like peace or happiness In some cultures, there may be a connection between children's names and when or how they were born For
example, a Yoruba child in Nigeria might have a name like Sunday or Born on a Sunny Day In some
countries, parents may pay money to a professional baby namer to help them find a good name They want to find a name that will be lucky for their child

The idea of going overseas to study can be daunting, with visions of baffling languages or nights
spent in isolation while you are gradually forgotten by your friends and family (13) , the benefits
of studying abroad - such as broadening your mind, improving your career prospects and making friends from all over the world - can make digging out your passport really rewarding
"Studying abroad is an eye-opening experience,” says Anna Boyd, event manager at The Student
World "Being (14) _ in another culture, understanding differences and spotting similarities, living
on a beach or in the mountains, (15) will have an impact on every student."
Overseas study comes in many shapes and sizes It might be a single semester abroad via an Erasmus programme, for example Or you might elect to follow a full three-or four-year degree programme Whatever your ambition, the key is starting early Some countries require specific combinations of A-levels from UK students, Germany looks for four A-levels including maths or science and one modern foreign language, for instance, while others, such as the US, value extracurricular
activities Starting our research well ahead (16) _ time can help you make the right choices.
"Getting involved in sports, arts and music is also worth considering, as well as gaining experience through volunteering and work placements," says Boyd In fact, applying to study abroad could even
work to your advantage, for example, you might encounter lower (17) requirements.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each

Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984, in New York, into a prosperous, professional family He developed an interest in computers at an early age and when he was twelve, created a messaging program which he named "Zucknet" His dentist father used it in his surgery so that his receptionist could inform
him of the arrival of a patient without yelling across the room Together with his friends, Mark spent much of his spare time as a boy designing and making computer games just for fun.
In 2002, Mark enrolled at Harvard University By his second year at the institution, he had acquired
a reputation on the campus as a developer of software It was at that time he invented "Facemash" which compared pictures of female students and allowed users to vote on which one was the most attractive The program became very popular on campus, but was later shut down by the university authorities who deemed it "inappropriate"
Based on the buzz of "Facemash", three of Mark's fellow students, Divya Narendra, and twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, asked him to work with them on an idea for a social networking site called "Harvard Connection" This site was designed to use information from Harvard's student networks
to create a dating site for the university's elite Mark was initially enthusiastic about the complex project but boredom soon set in and he backed out of it to work on his own social networking site He created a site that allowed users to produce their profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other people beyond the confines of the university He called the site "Facebook" and he operated from one small college room until June 2004 when he finally abandoned his studies to devote himself fully to Facebook and moved the company to California
Trang 7By the end of 2004, Facebook had one million users and Mark was climbing high However, in
2006, the multi-millionaire business mogul faced his first big hurdle The creators of Harvard Connection claimed that he had used their idea, and insisted that he should compensate them for their business losses Mark maintained that the ideas were based on two very different types of social networks but, after lawyers searched his records, incriminating emails revealed that he may have intentionally stolen the intellectual property of his former partners Although an initial settlement of $65 million was reached between the two parties, the legal dispute over the matter continued well into 2011, after the Harvard Connection creators claimed they were misled with regards to the value of the Facebook stock
Since amassing his sizeable fortune, Mark has used his millions to fund a variety of philanthropic
causes He has put lots of money into the deteriorating schools' system in deprived parts of New York and
he actively encourages other wealthy, young entrepreneurs to follow his example and put back something into society
