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
Mandatory (bắt buộc) volunteering made many members of Maryland high school
class of 1997 rumble with indignation. They didn’t like a new requirement that
made them take part in the school’s community service program.
Future seniors, however, probably won't be as resistant now that the program has
been broken in. Some, like John Maloney, already have completed their required
hours of approved community service. The Bowie High School sophomore earned
his hours in eighth grade by volunteering two nights a week at the Larkin-Chase
Nursing and Restorative Center in Bowie. He played shuffleboard, cards, and other
games with the senior citizens. He also helped plan parties for them and visited
their rooms to keep them company. That experience inspired him to continue
volunteering in the community.
John, 15, is not finished volunteering. Once a week he videotapes animals at the
Prince George County animal shelter in Forestville. His footage is shown on the
Bowie public access television channel in hopes of finding homes for the animals.
"Volunteering is better than just sitting around," says John, "and I like animals; I
don't want to see them put to sleep. "
He's not the only volunteer in his family. His sister, Melissa, an eighth grader, has
completed her hours also volunteering at Larkin-Chase. "It is a good idea to have
kids go out into the community, but it's frustrating to have to write essays about the
work," she said. "It makes you feel like you're doing it for the requirement and not
for yourself." The high school's service-learning office, run by Beth Ansley,
provides information on organizations seeking volunteers so that students will have
an easier time fulfilling their hours. "It's ridiculous that people are opposing the
requirements," said Amy Rouse, who this summer has worked at the Ronald
McDonald House and has helped to rebuild a church in Clinton. "So many people
won't do the service unless it's mandatory," Rouse said, "but once they start doing
it, they'll really like it and hopefully it will become a part of their lives - like it has
become a part of mine."

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
How long will a baby born today live? 100 years? 120 years? Scientists are
studying genes that could mean long life for us all.
There are already many, many people who have passed the landmark age of 100. In
fact, there are now so many healthy, elderly people that there’s a name for them:
the wellderly. These are people over the age of eighty who have no major illnesses,
such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.
There are many scientific studies of communities where healthy old age is typical.
These include places like Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in
Japan. In Calabria, the small village of Molochio has about 2,000 inhabitants. And
of these, there are at least eight people over a hundred years old. When researchers
ask people like this the secret of their long life, the answer is almost always about
food and is almost always the same: ‘I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.’ ‘I eat a
little bit of everything.’ ‘I neither smoke nor drink.’
In the past, scientists looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation
of long life, these days they are also looking at genetics. Researcher Eric Topol
says that there must be genes that explain why people are protected from the effects
of aging process. The new research into long life did scrutinize (điều tra) groups of
people who have a genetic connection. One interesting group lives in Ecuador. In
KIEU THUY 6
one area of the country there are a number of people with the same genetic
condition. It’s called Laron syndrome. These people don’t grow very tall – just
over one metre. But Laron syndrome also give them protection against cancer and
diabetes. As a result, they live longer than other people in their families.
Meanwhile, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there’s another group of long-lived
men, Japanese-Americans. They have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group.
Back in Calabria, researchers constructed the family trees of the 100-year-old
people. They looked at family information from the 19th century to today. It is
concluded that there are genetic factors that give health benefits to the men. This is
a surprising result because generally in Europe, women live longer than men. So,
what really makes people live longer? It seems likely that it is an interaction of
genes, the environment and probably a third factor – luck.
Question 34: Which of the following is NOT true about the Laron syndrome?
A. This syndrome is a health problem for groups of people in Ecuador and Hawaii.
B. It is the result of a genetic condition.
C. People diagnosed with this syndrome are prone to (dễ bị nhiễm bệnh…)
diabetes.
D. Ecuadorians having Laron syndrome are approximately one metre tall.
Question 35: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The secrets of a long and healthy life
B. Tips to increase life expectancy
C. How to live more than 100 years?
D. Human lifespan is determined by genetics
Question 36: Who are the wellderly?
A. They are old people with health problems.
B. They are young people with health problems.
C. They are healthy young people.
D. They are healthy old people.
Question 37: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Different factors lead to a healthy old age.
B. More European men live to a healthy old age than women.
C. In the past, more people lived to a healthy old age.
D. We will all live to at least 100 years.
Question 38: According to paragraph 3, _________.
A. scientists have been studying places where only one healthy old person lives
B. scientists have been studying places where there is no healthy old person
C. scientists have been investigating places where most people live to be a hundred
D. scientists have conducted many studies of places where healthy old age is
normal
