Is Australia the world’s largest island or its smallest continent? Actually,
it’s both. In fact, Australia is the only country that is also a continent. Although
roughly the size of the United States mainland, Australia has a population of
about 16.5 million people. That makes this island nation one of the least
densely populated countries. What ethnic groups make up the Australia

population? The majority of Australians are of English, Irish, Italian, Greek,
Dutch, and Polish descent. However, over the past 50 years, some four million
people from more than 120 countries have made Australia their home. This
includes a large number of Asian and African immigrants.
In addition to being the smallest, Australia is also the driest inhabited
continent. Lush green pastures may be typical in sheep farming areas. However,
most of the land, particularly in the Outback, is so arid that people are unable
to live on it in its undeveloped state. That explains why most Australians live
in metropolitan areas, many of which line the coast, and why Australia is
considered one of the world’s more urbanized countries.

e. has the most population d. has the least population
11. Millions people from many countries _ _ .
a. emigrated to Australia b. built their houses in Australia
c. left Australia for Asia and Africa d. lived in Australia
12. Why do most Australian live in metropolitan areas?
a. Because most of the land is used for sheep farming
b. Because most of the land is very dry.
c. Because most of the land is covered with green pastures.
d Because most of the land is already being cultivated.
13. Which of the following sentences' is not true?
a. Australia is the world’s smallest continent,
b. Many of Australia's present inhabitants are descended from English,

Jeans are the most popular kind of clothing in the world. They are popular

Who made the first jeans?
In 1850 Levi Strauss, a young immigrant from Germany, arrived in San
Francisco. He came to sell canvas, a heavy fabric used for tents, to gold miners.
One day Strauss saw that the miners needed strong clothes for work, lie
quickly took some of his canvas and made it into pants. These pants were very
strong and lasted a long time. The pants became very popular immediately.
Later Strauss wanted to make his pants even better, so he started making his
pants from cotton cloth that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This
fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, and was called ‘denim’ (from de
Nimes). Denim was popular in the fifteenth century. Christopher Columbus
used denim for the sails of his ships. Sailors in Genoa, Italy, wore denim
pants. The word ‘jeans' comes from the word ‘Genoa’. Mr. Strauss made the
first jeans in the United States, but their name and their kind of cloth came
from Italy and France.
9. Jeans were invented by an American.
10. Levi Strauss turned strong canvas cloth which he was originally going to
sell for tents into pants.

Learning a foreign language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly.
There are some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this:
learning how to do these things needs a lot of practice. It is never enough to
read a book on how to fly a plane. A book can give you a lot of information about
how to fly, but if you only read that book, then try to fly without any practice,
you will kill yourself. The same is true of learning a foreign language. For
example, can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice
makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know.

THE NEWS MEDIA
News media are the means or method by which people learn what is happening
in the city, in the country and in the world. The news media can be classified
into two general categories: the categories of print media and electronic media.
Print media use the written material to communicate news to readers. Electronic
media use air waves to send news into homes, offices and public places. Print
media are usually divided into magazines and newspapers. Most newspapers
print news daily. The electronic media are generally divided into radio and
television. Radio news is the one that you listen to. In the United States, many
radio stations broadcast five minutes of news every hour. Television news is the
one that you not only listen but also watch. In Canada and the United States,
for example, many people watch an hour of news on TV at six o’clock in the
evening. In the future new categories of news media will develop. Even today
computers are beginning to influence the transmission and reception of news.
37. People learn what is happening in the world by news media.
38. The media can be arranged in three groups.
39. Television and radio are broadcast media.
40. In the United States, news is broadcasted every five minutes.

fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has
become so polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying This
pollution is not only killing the fish, but is also affecting those people who eat fish.

More than two hundred years ago, the term 'environmental pollution' was quite

Nowadays, the situation is quite different. People all over the world are worried
about things that are happening to the environment. Actually it is man that is
destroying the surroundings with many kinds of wastes. Everybody knows that
motorbikes and cars emit dangerous gases that cause poisonous air and cancer, but
no one wants to travel on foot or by bicycle. Manufactures know that wastes from
factories make water and soil polluted, but they do not want to spend a lot of their
money on treating the wastes safely. Scattering garbage is bad for our health, but
no one wants to spend time burying it. Is it worth talking a lot about pollution?

Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up.
Actually, the world's energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how
much fuel is left. However, we also should use them economically and try to
find out alternative sources of power. According to Professor Marvin Burnham
of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal.
oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.

B. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power.
However, not only are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major
source of pollution. Therefore, it’s important to improve, explore and develop
such alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar and wind power. Each
of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without
polluting the atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain, and
they create the difficult problem of what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric
power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities
located far from moving water. Wind power is a pollution- free source of renewable
energy but it cannot be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient
wind. Solar power is renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add
the earth’s heat load. However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar power
also requires expensive equipment.
9. Coal, oil and natural gas .
a. are very great in amount b. will never be used up

c. pollute the atmosphere d. supply most of its power
10. Nuclear power plants .
a. are difficult to build b. pollute the atmosphere

11 . Wind power .
a. cannot be used in places that has strong wind
b. is never completely used up
c. is a source of pollution
d. cannot replace itself
12. What is the advantage of these alternatives?
a. They are environmentally friendly energy sources.
b. They are non-renewable forms of energy.
c. They are all very practical.
d. They are inexpensive to exploit.

Air pollution is a cause of ill-health in human being. In a lot of countries
there are laws limiting the amount of smoke which factories can produce.
Although there isn't enough information on the effects of smoke in the atmosphere,
doctors have proved that air pollution causes lung diseases. The gases from the
exhausts of cars have also increased air pollution in most cities. The lead in
petrol produces a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets surrounded
by high buildings. Children who live in areas where there is a lot of lead in the
atmosphere cannot think as quickly as other children and are clumsy when
they use their hands.
There are other long-term effects of pollution. If the gases in the atmosphere
continue to increase, the earth’s climate may become warmer. A lot of the ice
near the Poles may melt and may cause serious floods.
37. Air pollution can make people ill.
38. Some countries passed laws to prohibit factories from producing smoke.

Easter is on different Sunday each year. But it is always in March or April.
Easter is not a national holiday. It is a religious holiday for Christians. For
many people, Easter celebrates the beginning of spring.
The English word for Easter comes from the old English word Eastre.
Eastre was the name of the goddess of spring and light. In the spring, flowers
bloom and trees become green. The earth wears ‘new clothes’. Many people
wear new clothes on Easter Sunday too.
Eggs and rabits are new signs of spring and new life. American children
believe in an imaginary rabit, the Easter Bunny. The night before Easter, the
Easter Bunny visits many homes. He brings children Easter baskets with eggs
and candy. Some Easter eggs are hard-boiled eggs in different colors. Other
Easter eggs are chocolate. The Easter Bunny hides eggs in the house or outside
in the yard. On Easter morning, children look for eggs from the Easter Bunny.
On Easter Sunday, families often come together for a dinner of ham or lamb
with fresh spring vegetables. Dessert is often cake in the shape of a lamb or
rabbit. And there is plenty of candy from the Easter bunny!

LIVE ON OTHER PLANETS
Human have long been fascinated by outer space, and have wondered if
there are intelligent life-forms elsewhere, which we might be able to contact.
Naturally, we’ve all seen space creatures on our TV and cinema screens, but
‘aliens’ like these owe more to the convenience of using human actors to play
the parts than to any real form of scientific investigation.
However, many serious space researchers are now beginning to turn their
attention to the question of what alien life might actually look like. One early
result is Arnold the Alien, designed by biologist Dougal Dixon. This strange
being, unlike humans, has its eyes, ears, and limbs in groups of three instead
of pairs but, despite its odd appearance, its behavior is not very different from
our own.
1. People have been interested in creatures from outer space for a long time.

of space creatures.

Will our grandchildren spend their vacations on the moon, or their honeymoons
in a hotel orbiting Mars? A few dreamers at the International Tourism Fair say
space trips for average travelers could come sooner than we think.
A company at the fair displayed a model of a space hotel for space tourists
that it hopes to build one day. However, the model shows that travelers won’t
find as much comfort floating in space as they would in a normal hotel on Earth.
The space hotel, designed for use on the International Space Station, is
comprised of four tiny rooms with berths for couples, a common room and a very
simple bathroom. As for food, space tourists would also have to eat dried foods
like astronauts instead of delicious meals prepared by a chef.
But despite the lack of comfort, there are still many people willing to pay a
lot of money to travel to space. If this hotel becomes a reality, a one-week stay
will cost about US$2 million.

A recent investigation by scientists at the US Geological survey shows that
strange animal behavior might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators
found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly
recent earthquake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and
ran around uncontrollably. Scientists believe that animals can perceive these
environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap.
In 1976, after observing animal behaviour, the Chinese were able to predict
a devastating earthquake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed,
the government was able to evacuate millions of the other people and thus keep
the death toll at a lower level.

People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not
easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.
Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn
their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to
learn is only relevant when learning a second language.
A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier
to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to
Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a
second language. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to
learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system,
and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many
foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese
characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than
for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.

44. The question of how hard a language is to learn is relevant to both first
and second language acquisition.
45. First language can have an effect on learning a second language.

The invention of the electric telegraph gave birth to the communications
industry. Although Samuel B. Morse succeeded in making the invention
useful in 1837, it was not until 1843 that the first telegraph line of consequence
was constructed. By 1860 more than 50,000 miles of lines connected people
east of the Rockies. The following year, San Francisco was added to the
network.
The national telegraph network fortified the ties between East and West
and contributed to the rapid expansion of the railroads by providing an efficient
means to monitor schedules and routes. Furthermore, the extension of the
telegraph, combined with the invention of the steam-driven rotary printing
press by Richard M. Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism. Where
the business of news gathering had been dependent upon the mail and on
hand-operated presses, the telegraph expanded the amount of information a
newspaper could supply and allowed for more timely reporting. The establishment
of the Associated Press as a central wire service in 1846 marked the advent of
a new era in journalism.

communications industry.

Ketchup
The sauce that is today called ketchup (or catsup) in Western cultures is a
tomato-based sauce that is quite distinct from Eastern ancestors of this product.
A sauce called ke-tiap was in use in China at least as early as the 17"’ century,
but the Chinese version of the sauce was made of picked fish, shellfish, and
spices. The popularity of this Chinese sauce spread to Singapore and Malaysia,
where it was called ketchap. The Indonesian sauce ketjab derives its name
from the same source as the Malaysian sauce but is made from very different
ingredients. The Indonesian ketjab is made by cooking black soy beans,
fermenting them, placing them in a salt brine for at least a week, cooking the
resulting solution further, and sweetening it heavily; this process results in a
dark, thick, and sweet variation of soy sauce.
Early in the 18"' century, sailors from the British navy came across this exotic
sauce on voyages to Malaysia and Singapore and brought samples of it back to
England on return voyages. English chefs tried to recreate the sauce but were unable
to do exactly because key ingredients were unknown or unavailable in England;
chefs ended up substituting ingredients such as mushrooms and walnuts in an
attempt to recreate the special taste of the original Asian sauce. Variations of this
sauce became quite the rage in the 18,h century England, appearing in a number
of recipe books and features as an exotic addition to menus from the period.
The English version did not contain tomatoes, and it was not until the end
of the 18,h century that tomatoes became a main ingredient in the ketchup of
the newly created United States. It is quite notable that tomatoes were added
to the sauce and that tomatoes had previously been considered quite dangerous
to health. The tomato had been cultivated by the Aztecs, who had called it
tomatl\ however, early botanists had recognized that the tomato was a member
of the Solanacaea family, which does include a number of poisonous plants. The
leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, though of course the fruit is not.
Thomas Jefferson, who cultivated the tomato in his gardens at Monticello
and served dishes containing tomatoes at lavish feasts, often receives credit
for changing the reputation of the tomato. Soon after Jefferson had introduced
the tomato to American society, recipes combining the newly fashionable tomato
with the equally fashionable and exotic sauce known as ketchap began to appear.
By the middle of the 19"’ century, both the tomato and tomato ketchup were
staples of the American kitchen.
Tomato ketchup, popular though it was, was quite time-consuming to prepare.
In 1876, the first mass-produced tomato ketchup, a product of German-American
PHAN IV. MQT SO D£ THI TUYEN SINH VAO LtJp 10 159

VI. READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS.
A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery
that a sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects people in
the way that a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by
finding three blocks of houses in San Francisco that looked much alike and had
the same kind of middle-class and working-class residents, with approximately
the same ethnic mix. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down
Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyard’s terminology) while Gough Street
(MEDIUM street) was used by 8,000 cars daily, and Franklin Street (HEAVY
street) had around 16,000 cars a day. Franklin Street often had as many cars
in an hour as Octavia had in a day.
Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes and soot, directly, and
trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when trash
accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined,
reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a
constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered
their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their
houses. Most families with children had already left.
Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash.
They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times
as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.
On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was
disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more
preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved and
more were considering. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the
destruction of their community.

In child development there is an important phenomenon that shows very

belief, its importance should never be underestimated. Games are not the

The Winterthur Museum is a collection and a house. There are many museums
devoted to the decorative arts and many house museums, but rarely in the
United States is a great collection displayed in a great country house. Passing
through successive generations of a single family, Winterthur has been a private
estate for more than a century. Even after the extensive renovations made to it
between 1929 and 1931, the house remained a family residence. This fact is of
importance to the atmosphere and effect of the museum. The impression of a
lived-in house is apparent to the visitor: the rooms look as if they were
vacated only a short while ago whether by the original owners of the furniture
or the most recent residents of the house can be a matter of personal
interpretation. Winterthur remains, then, a house in which a collection of
furniture and architectural elements has been assembled. Like an English
country house, it is an organic structure; the house, as well as the collection and
manner of displaying it to the visitor, has changed over the years. The changes
have coincided with developing concepts of the American arts, increased
knowledge on the part of collectors and students, and a progression toward the
achievement of a historical effect in period-room displays. The rooms at
Winterthur have followed this current, yet still retained the character of a
private house.
The concept of a period room as a display technique has developed gradually
over the years in an effort to present works of art in a context that would
show them to greater effect and would give them more meaning for the viewer.
Comparable to the habitat group in a natural history museum, the period
room represents the decorative arts in a lively and interesting manner and
provides an opportunity to assemble objects related by style, date, or place of
manufacture.

house is apparent to the visitor” (lines 5-6)?

1. The development of jazz can be seen as part of the larger continuum of
American popular music, especially dance music. In the twenties, jazz be¬
came the hottest new thing in dance music, much as ragtime had at the
turn of the century, and as would rhythm and blues in the fifties, rock in
5. the fifties, and disco in the seventies.
But two characteristics distinguish jazz from other dance music. The first
is improvisation, the changing of a musical phrase according to the player’s
inspiration. Like all artists, jazz musicians strive for an individual style,
and the improvise or paraphrase is a jazz musician’s main opportunity to
10. display his or her individuality. In early jazz, musicians often improvised
PHAN IV. MOT SO BE THI TUYEN SINH VA0 LOP 10 189

melodies collectively, thus creating a kind of polyphony. There was little
soloing as such, although some New Orleans players, particularly cornet player
Buddy Bolden, achieved local fame for their ability to improvise a solo.
Later the idea of the chorus-long or multichorus solo took hold. Louis
15. Armstrong’s instrumental brilliance, demonstrated through extended solos,
was a major influence in this development. Even in the early twenties,
however, some jazz bands had featured soloists. Similarly, show orchestras
and carnival bands often included one or two such “get-off’ musicians.
Unimproved, completely structured jazz does exist, but the ability of the
20. best jazz musicians to create music of great cohesion and beauty during
performance has been a hallmark of the music and its major source of
inspiration and change.
The second distinguishing characteristic of jazz is a rhythmic drive that
was initially called “hot” and later “swing”. In playing hot, a musician
25. consciously departs from strict meter to create a relaxed sense of phrasing
that also emphasizes the underlying rhythms. (“Rough” tone and use of
moderate vibrato also contributed to a hot sound.) Not all jazz is hot,
however, many early bands played unadorned published arrangements of
popular songs. Still, the proclivity to play hot distinguished the jazz musi¬
cian from other instrumentalists.
