Read the passage below and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
question.
All creatures need to eat something in order to survive. Fortunately, different species of animals
have different things that they eat as food. No matter what a creature eats, the food must have enough
calories in it to maintain life. Calories, or the energy stored in the food, provide the fuel animals,
including humans, need in order to live and move about in the world. Any creature that does not
consume enough food, or in other words enough calories, will starve and die.
The term calorie has a scientific meaning. Calorie is a measure of an amount of energy just like
pound is a measure of weight. A calorie is officially defined as the amount of energy it takes to raise
the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius, which is 1. 8 degrees Fahrenheit. The term
"calorie" and "Calorie" with a capital C have two different meanings to scientists. The term Calorie
(with a capital C) means one kilocalorie, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one
kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. A kilogram is the same as 1,000 grams and a kilocalorie is
1,000 calories. Food calories are always measured as Calories but average people don't care much
about the difference and just use the word calories.
Food is composed of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Nutritionists know that a gram of protein
contains 4 Calories, a gram of fat has 9 Calories, and a gram of carbohydrate has 4 Calories.
All food contain calories. When we eat something it provides energy for our bodies to use when we
are active. We even need energy or calories while we are sleeping because, for example, our bodies
are still breathing, our heart is pumping, and we continue to digest the food in our stomachs. If a
person eats more food and more calories than is used up by activity, the body stores the excess
calories in case it might need it later when food might not be available. So a person gains weight due
to the extra food and calories. Similarity, if a person consumes fewer calories than are used every day
over several weeks and is more active, that person will lose weight.
6. Calorie is a measure of _______ .
A. weight B. distance C. energy D. Volume
7. Animals that do not consume enough calories over a long time _______ .
A. can lose weight B. can starve
C. can maintain life D. can have a healthy life
8. Humans use calories when _______ .
A. running B. studying
C. sleeping D. A, B and C are correct
9. People gain weight from _______ .
A. eating more food and calories than they use up
B. eating fewer food and calories than they use up
C. eating a lot of fat food
D. eating a lot of food and calories when they are active
10. All the following statements are true EXCEPT _______ .
A. Eating foods that contains lots of fat cause a person to gain weight faster than eating protein
B. People normally pay less attention to the difference between “calorie” and “Calorie”
C. People who are more active, like playing sports or exercising, eat fewer calories
D. People still consume energy while they are sleeping.

1, Honestly, I am a huge fan of music and definitely, I spend most of my

free time listening to pop music in particular. Today I would like to tell you
about my all-time favorite song, whose name is “Yesterday once more” by
the internationally acclaimed band: The Carpenters.
I first heard this song on the radio in a bookshop when I was just 15
years old. First, what I like most about this song is that it has a simple but
meaningful flow. The song’s genre is pop, and the rhythm is slow and the
singer’s voice and the melody make a perfect combination. In addition, it
has nostalgic lyrics, which brings back good memory from the past, for
example when I was at high school having fun with my friends or when I spent
good time with my family during trips.

Second, the very sweet melody of this song helps me recharge my

battery after stressful lessons at work. Actually, I am hooked every time I heard
this because it is also a childhood memory. I grew up singing and listening to
The Carpenters’ songs and to me, “Yesterday once more” is the best song on
Earth. Listening to the song while having a bath or cooking after work is a very
relaxing experience. I feel that I can let my hair down and get rid of all the
stress or burden.

The song will forever be among my most favorite ones and I am sure
to put it on repeat many more times!

Dịch: Thực ra, tôi là một fan bự của nhạc và chắc chắn rằng, toi có thể dành phần lớn thời
gian rảnh của minh để nghe đặc biệt là nhạc pop. Hôm nay tôi muốn cho bạn biết về bài
hát yêu thích nhất của tôi. Có tên là “Yesterday once more” bởi ban nhạc được ca ngợi
trên toàn thế giới: The Carpenters.
 Lí do là bởi: Tôi lần đầu nghe bài hát này qua cái radio ở trong một cửa hàng sách
khi tôi chỉ mới 15 tuổi. Đầu tiên, thứ mà tôi thích nhất về bài hát này là bởi vì nó có lời ca
đơn giản mà giàu ý nghĩa.

Ví dụ: Thể loại của bài hát này là pop, và nhịp điệu của bài hát thì chậm và giọng ca
của người hát và giai điệu của nó tạo nên một sự kết hợp hoàn hảo. Ngoài ra, nó còn có lời
bài hát vô cùng hoài niệm, điều mà gợi lại nhưng kỉ niệm đáng nhớ trong quá khứ, ví dụ
khi tôi còn đang học trung học đi chơi với bạn bè hay khi tôi dành thời gian cùng gia đình
minh trong kì nghỉ.

Lí do: Thứ hai, giai điệu vô cùng ngọt ngào của bài hát này giúp tôi hồi phục lại năng
lượng sau những giờ làm việc căng thẳng. Thực ra, tôi bị cuốn hút cứ mỗi khi tôi nghe thấy
bài này bởi vì nó cũng là một kỉ niệm tuổi thơ.

Ví dụ: Tôi đã lớn lên với việc hát và nghe nhạc của The Carpenters và đối với tôi,
“Yesterday once more” là bài hát hay nhất trên trái đất. Nghe bài hát này trong khi đang
đi tắm hay đang nấu ăn sau giờ làm việc thực xự là một trải nghiệm rất thoải mái. Tôi cảm
thấy rằng minh có thể xõa và giải phóng tất cả sự căng thẳng hoặc gánh nặng.
Bài hát sẽ luôn luôn là bài hát yêu thích nhất của tôi và tôi chắc chắn sẽ còn lặp lại nó
nhiều lần nữa.
2, One of the songs that strikes a chord with me the most when I hear it
is Everlong by Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters is an alternative rock, post-grunge
band from USA whose frontman, Dave Grohl, wrote this song during one of
the low points in his life.

According to him, he wrote the song on Christmas after having just got
divorced, which he had ended up sleeping in a friend’s floor in a sleeping bag.
And at the same time, his guitarist and his drummer were about to quit the
band. In the middle of this maelstrom of chaos, he wrote down this love song
in less than an hour.

It has never been revealed who he was thinking about when he wrote
this, but it is about being connected with someone so much that there is a
connection that transcends from physical to spiritual. It’s an ode to love and
the process of it all. The feelings of hesitation at the beginning, the excitement
at any development. It truly conveys how powerful love can make you feel,
and I think that is why it resonates so much with people, those who have
loved and those who haven’t.
 There’s also one more thing I find interesting about this song, which is
that it was not an immediate hit. The song had to be stripped down
to an acoustic version, to its raw core before people really started listening to
it and fell in love with it. After that it became many fan’s favourite song and
Grohl has gone on recording, saying that it is the song that most
fans quote to him.
Dịch: Một trong những bài hát mà đã đánh đúng tâm lý của tôi nhất khi tôi nghe đó là
Everong của Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters là một ban nhạc Rock luân chuyển, nhạc hậu
grunge từ Mỹ thuộc sở hữu bởi người thủ lĩnh, Dave Grohl, đã viết bài hát này trong suốt
một trong những thời kì tồi tệ nhất trong cuộc đời anh ta.

Dựa theo anh, anh ấy đã viết bài hát vào dịp lễ Giáng Sinh sau khi đã li dị, điều mà
đã dẫn đến việc là cuối cùng anh đã ngủ trên sàn nhà của một người bạn trong một cái túi
ngủ. Và cũng vào khoảng thời gian đó, người chơi đàn và tay chống của anh ấy có ý định
rời bỏ ban nhạc. Ở trong tâm bão của sự hỗn loạn này, anh ấy đã viết bài hát yêu quý này
trong vòng ít hơn 1 tiếng đồng hồ.

Điều đó đã không bao giờ được bật mí rằng ai là người anh ấy đã nghĩ đến khi anh
ấy viết bài hát này, nhưng nó đã là một sợi dây liên kết với ai đó rất nhiều mà ở đó có mọt
sự liên kết mà đã chuyền từ thể chất sang tinh thần. Đó là một sự ca ngợi cho tình yêu và
cho quá trình của tất cả mọi thứ. Cảm giác lưỡng lự khi bắt đầu, sự thích thú khi phát
triển. Nó thật sự đã truyền tải được tình yêu mạnh mẽ có thể làm cho bạn cảm thấy như
thế nào, và đó là lí do tại sao nó lại có thể gây được tiếng vang lớn đến với nhiều người
những người đã có và những người chưa có.

Còn một điều nữa mà tôi cảm thấy thú vị là nó không phải là một bản hit ngay tức
khắc. Bài hát này nên đã được phát hành như một bản acoustic, để cho nó là một cái lõi
thô, trước khi nhiều người thực sự bắt đầu nghe nó và cảm thấy yêu thích nó. Sau đó thì
nó đã trở thành bài hát yêu thích nhất của nhiều người hâm mộ và sau đó Grohl đã bắt
đầu ghi âm lại bài hát, nói rằng nó là bài hát mà nhiều người hâm mộ đã trích dẫn cho anh
biết.

II. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question.
Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually
more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and used the
knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen,
Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to
Liverpool, England. His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841
Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered
around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel
Omoo (1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S naval frigate that was
returning to the eastern United States around Cape Horn. The novel White-Jacket (1850) describes this
lengthy voyage a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal
following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the
publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, in one level the saga of
the hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of
humanity against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from
romantic adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish
Melville's popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.
