her life. She was only ten when her father died unexpectedly, leaving her mother to
raise and support their family alone. Her mother soon went to work outside the home
to provide for the family, and Jean, being one of the oldest, had to help care for her

Every family has its quires. Mine is no different. I was born in an Italian-American
family in 1973. We follow the classic stereotype. My father works and my mother
stays home with the kids. There are certain things that we remember from our
childhood: phrases, jokes, movies. But one piece of advice that sticks with me from an
early age comes from my mother.
“Don’t finish your food or you will never get married.” It WAS an illogical jump
from the idea that a “lady” is not a glutton and therefore will not finish the food on her
plate or take the last cookie off of the platter. A “lady” especially a young lady must
never appear hungry. If she did, she would not be an ideal candidate for a wife.
To this day, I do not finish what is on my plate and I will never eat the last of
anything.
It is not a conscience thing. When I think about it, I make a point to finish the food
on my plate, there is still some teenage rebellion against mom in this thirty-four year-
old body, but the thought of not finishing is so ingrained that I rarely think about it.
When my husband and I are at dinner, he will gesture to something on the table and
say, "Finish your food” and I will respond, “I can't, I’ll never, get married. 7’ That
always makes him laugh and say, "So what have these last six years been?” But for me
it is something special that I will carry around with me - something that is my family.
My brother remembers the phrase and he admits that in his dating days he did watch to
see if any of the girls would take the last, piece of pie or pizza. I think he fell in love
with his fiance because she would eat whatever she wanted to and do not worry about
anyone judging her for it. As 1 embark on starting my own family, I wonder what I
will tell my daughter. Will I encourage her to finish every last piece? Or will I
continue to the legacy of my mother and tell her not eat the last piece lest she not get
married? Will she one day laugh to her girlfriends about her mother leaving one
granola bar, one piece of cheese, or one rice cake alone in their bags?
36. The writer's mother never let her eat the last piece of food on her plate.
a. True b. False c. No information

their plate.

mother's words something special.

Fill in eachnumbered blank withone suitable word or phrase.
On December 10, 2006, I was going through some hard time. The landlady did not
want to release the house any more so I had to (41) … and only had one month to find
a place. Because Christmas was coming and it was difficult for me to (42) … a
suitable accommodation. I had only some money (43) ... I could not buy a Christmas
tree and some presents for my three boys, (44) … I had to use the money to find a
place to live. To me, it broke my heart as I could not prepare the Christmas for my
three boys. I have been their only parent since my husband (45) … away two years
ago. I was so sad and everything was getting on my nerves. Although I managed to
solve the problem myself I could not help (46) … my sons about
the things. When I suddenly woke up at midnight, I found my eldest son was sitting

always stand by you (48) … happens.” At the moment I started weeping, grabbed him
and kissed him. His words and love made me (49) … all about what I was stressing
about.
In fact ever since that moment, I have realized that I can overcome any problems
thanks to my sons' love. The most important thing of my life is that my hoys arc safe
and healthy, and they bring me joy ail the time. The memory (50) … me that nothing
really matters, when I have the love of my children.

I was born to dance. I’ ve been dancing all my life, ever since my mother, who gave
up a dancing career on the stage when she married my father, picked me up
and twirled me around as an infant. As much as I loved dancing with her, her greatest
gift to me was her "unconditional love” during her lifetime.
My parents divorced after only 5 years of marriage, but my father remarried a
lovely lady who also loved to dance. They used to take me to a dancing club where I
would listen to the music and watch them dance—occasionally my step-mother, Mary,
invited me to dance.
I also met my wife, Charlotte, in a dancing party, I danced with her for about, 15
minutes, and during that brief span, I realized that I fell in love with her. We kept
dancing throughout our marriage. My earliest memories of dancing with my daughters
started when 1 came home from work to our small home in Marblehead,
Massachusetts, and my daughter Laura was about 3 years old. It was very relaxing for
me to turn on the record player, pick up Laura in my arms, and dance her around the
room I
Our family danced a lot. My daughters, Laura and Anne, and t continued to dance
on every occasion. One favorite memory I have of dating with Laura and Anne was
when I took each of them when they were senior in high school to the Daddy-Daughter
dance. We won both dance competitions!
As their father, I have tried to provide my daughters with unconditional Jove, as my
Mother provided to me, endless emotional and loving support, and good educations
and life experiences which have helped prepare them for happy and successful adult
lives. Being a father who is worthy of their love and respect, I consider fatherhood a
privilege, not an entitlement.
In 1994, my oldest daughter Laura gave me a lovely book, which I still have;
entitled “Fathers and Daughters.” My Father’ s Day suggestion to ever)' father is to
dance with your daughters at every opportunity. It will not only bring you closer, it
will give them memories of you “to hang onto” long after we are gone.

When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but
a friend also. They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their
emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be
able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they
familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically
have the same roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family
everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding
from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a
great deal about the other’s country, culture, traditions and
life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very
disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner’s excitements and
frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a
famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with.
Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this was often played in
your house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable
to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are
absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather
disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not
know her country’s songs, her country’s famous actors, her books. She has her own
memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you.
At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives
in completely Strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with,
except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife’s country, culture and lifestyles. Talk
with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books
are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything!
Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a
movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her Understand you better
through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural
differences.
36. A spouse should ...
a. let the partner to do everything alone

In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages.
Marriages were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having
little chance to say no in the matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride
and groom had only just met on the day of their engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own
marriage-partners based on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and
wants. Moreover early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional
Vietnamese occasions. Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs
practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding continue to be celebrated by both
Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and eastern
elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony
which takes place usually half a year or so before the wedding. Due to the spiritual
nature of the occasion, the date and time of the marriage ceremony are decided in
advance by a fortune teller. The traditional Vietnamese wedding consists of an
extensive array of ceremonies: the first is the ceremony to ask permission to receive
the bride, the second is the procession to receive the bride (along with the ancestor
ceremony at her house), the third is to bring the bride to the groom's house for another
ancestor ceremony and to welcome her into the family, then the last is a wedding
banquet. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge, usually in the
hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often
money, which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to
table collecting.

Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up
our culture. Culture is the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our
expectations and ideals. Culture plays a part in the meaning of marriage and our roles
as husbands, wives, children and parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important.
Culture affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and
number of children a couple have, the meaning of divorce cohabitation and non-
marital childbearing, and the way parents raise children Understanding how
relationships and marriages vary across cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we

various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help families and sustain happy
marriages.

cultural background, visits to the other country, the language of the country and
learning to speak it, the different habits and ways of doing and saying things that
people from other cultures have, are all very exciting indeed. What of the
disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship with someone from

Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables
humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify
communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal
and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without, words.
It includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice,
as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between
two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence ail have message value, they influence
others and these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are
communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly, after birth and practiced
and refined throughout a person’s lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions
by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more
adept at reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills
and their recent reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal
skills, nonverbal channels of communication do not cease to exist although become
entwined in the total communication process.

Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts of the body and
face are the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to
control. It is estimated that there are over 200.000 physical signs capable of
stimulating meaning in another person. For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow
movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements
and postures. Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be
masked. Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther
than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or
cancels out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more
relaxed with friends or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation
also indicates status or liking of the other individual. More direct orientation is
related to- a more positive attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly
support or reject the spoken word. If these two means of communication are
dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and
most often the nonverbal will dominate.

Spoken language is based on a face-to-face encounter. One person directly
addresses another or others.
Within the face-to-face encounter of speech, communication is not limited to
words. Speakers use a wide variety of extra-verbal devices, from emphasis and
dramatic pauses to changes in tone or tempo. Speakers also use a broad range of
nonverbal clues. They “talk” with their eyes and their bodies. They use hand gestures
and facial expressions to convey ideas. And speakers respond to similar cues from
their listeners - the nods and grunts that say, in effect, "I hear you,” or the quizzical
looks that say, “I don’t understand.’1
As we learn a language, we 2^0 learn the non-verbal conventions of that language -
the meaning of a shrug, a pout, or a smile. Speech thus often includes not only a face-
to-face meeting, but also a meeting of the minds. “Conversation,” Steven Pinker notes,
“requires cooperation."
Listeners assume that speakers are conveying information relevant to what they
already know and what they want to know. They have to not only listen to words, but
also observe verbal devices and body gestures in order to understand the. meanings of
vague and ambiguous words and to fill in the unsaid logical steps. Speaker and
listener are aware of each other’s knowledge, interests, and biases. They can interpret
remarks within the common social setting in, which they find themselves. This mutual
understanding is frequently absent with written communication. While in written
communication, information an author world like to assume the reader knows must be
included with a text. Writers trust make their biases explicit to assure full
understanding by the critical reader, and readers, unable to read body language, must
read the text carefully to find out attitudes or biases underlying it.
36. We can use nonverbal clues in both spoken and written communication.
37. Emphasis, dramatic pauses and changes in tone or ternp6 are verbal devices.
38. We can even use gestures to express a marital proposal.
39. In a conversation, only listening to thespeaker’s voice is enough for the listener
to understand thoroughly even the meanings of vague and ambiguous words
40. Body language can also be read in a written text.

Body postures and movements are frequently indicators of self-confidence, energy,
fatigue, or status. Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict, or replace verbal
messages. Gestures also serve an important function with regard to regulating the flow
of conversation. For example, if a student is talking about something in front of the
class, single nods of the head from the teacher will likely cause that student to
continue and perhaps more elaborate. Postures as well as gestures are used to indicate
attitudes, status, affective moods, approval, deception, warmth, and other variables
related to conversation interaction.
The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” well describes the meaning of
facial expressions. Facial appearance - including wrinkles, muscle tone, skin
coloration, and eye color-offers enduring cues that reveal information about age, sex,
race, ethnic origin, and status.
A less permanent second set of facial cues-in eluding length of hair, hairstyle,
cleanliness, and facial hair-relate to an individual's idea of beauty. A third group of
facial markers are momentary expressions that signal that cause changes in the
forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, nose, lips, and chin, such as raising the eyebrows,
wrinkling the brow, curling the lip.
Some facial expressions are readily visible, while others are fleeting. Both types
can positively or negatively reinforce the spoken words and convey cues concerning
emotions and attitudes.

Verbal and nonverbal messages within the same interaction can sometimes send
opposing or conflicting messages. A person verbally expressing a statement of truth
while avoiding eye contact may convey a mixed message to the receiver in the
interaction. Conflicting messages may occur for a variety of reasons often stemming
from feelings of uncertainty, ambivalence, or frustration. When mixed messages
occur, nonverbal communication becomes the primary tool people use to attain
additional information to clarify the situation; great attention is placed on bodily
movements and positioning when people perceive mixed messages during interactions.
Accurate interpretation of messages is made easier when nonverbal arid^ verbal
communication complement each other. Nonverbal cues can be used to elaborate on
verbal messages to reinforce the information sent when trying to achieve
communicative goals; messages have been shown to be remembered better when
nonverbal signals affirm the verbal exchange.
Nonverbal behavior is sometimes used as the sole channel for communication of a
message. People learn to identify facial expressions, body movements, and body
positioning as corresponding with specific feelings and intentions. Nonverbal signals
can be used without verbal communication to convey messages; when nonverbal
behavior does not effectively communicate a message, verbal methods are used to
enhance understanding.
Nonverbal behavior also regulates OUT conversations. Touch, voice pitch, and
gestures are some of the tools people use to accent or amplify the message that is sent.
Nonverbal behavior can also be used to moderate or tone down aspects of verbal
messages as well. For example, a person who is verbally expressing anger may stress
the verbal message by shaking a fist.
36. That verbal and nonverbal messages interact in a conversation may sometimes
send opposing or conflicting messages.
37. That we aretalking to someone but do not have eye contact with him/ her may lead
to a mixed message?
38. When mixed messages occurred, words are mainly used to clarify the meaning.
39. Nonverbal communication is always effective.
40. For some people, they shake hands and grin when they are happy.
At some point, we have all done something for which we have hurt someone else or
have wronged someone in some way. We have done something for which
we feel compelled to apologize. We are human, (41) … of us, and as a fallible human
being, we have all made mistakes.
The problem is not in the number of mistakes we make, but rather in the (42) … we
handle those mistakes. However, most people do not know how to
apologize (43) … and by the same token, many do not know how to properly accept
an apology given.
When you have wronged someone in some way, intentionally (44) … not, and you
would like to repair the wrong you have done to them or at Jea.sl repair the rift in the
relationship that the wrong caused. (45) … apology is usually one of the first steps in
the process of showing your good (46) … Before you can apologize, you must know
what it is for which you should apologize. (47) … should you know what you are
apologizing for, but the person to whom you extend your apology should know as

2. Offer your sincere (49) … along with an explanation of why you are apologizing
3. Offer a solution to the problem or an assurance that the behavior will change.
4. Make every (50) … to resolve the issue or change the behavior.

These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed outside the
USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the
American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of
the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and
leaders from other countries have experienced the American education system and
graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the
American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the,
world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and
being exposed to the. rigors of the American education system is an investment in your
future.
Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a
vocational or high school, a thorough understanding of how the American education
system works is essential. Without a dear grasp of the American education system, an
international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no
surprise that the American education system and the American school system host
more international students than any other country in the world!

Read the two passages carefully and choose the correct answer.
In developing countries, people are sometimes unaware of the importance of
education, and there is economic pressure from those parents who prioritize their
children’s making money' in the short term over any long-term benefits of education.
Recent studies on child labor and poverty have suggested that when poor families
breach a certain economic threshold where families are able to provide for their basic
needs, parents return their children to school. This has been found to be true, once the
threshold has been breached, even if the potential economic value of the children’s
work has increased since their return to school.
Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions a lack of
good universities and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in
countries with a relatively high population density.
India has launched EDUSAT, an education satellite that can reach remote parts of
the, country at a greatly reduced cost. There is also an initiative supported by Several

a digital education. In Africa, an “e-school program" has been launched to provide all
600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and
internet access within 10 years. Volunteer groups are working to give more individuals
opportunity to receive education in developing countries through such programs as the

Vietnam’s education system can be divided into 5 categories: pre-primary, primary,
intermediate, secondary, and higher education.
Public kindergartens usually admit children from the age of 18 months to 5 years.
Children at 4 or 5 years of age are sometimes taught the alphabet and basic math. This
level of education is only popular in major cities.
Children normally start their primary education at the age of six. Education at this
level lasts 5 years and it is compulsory for all children. This compulsory education
may be one of the reasons why, despite remaining a less developed country, the
literate proportion of the country’s population is very high, over 90% on average.
Middle schools teach students from grade 6 to 9. This educational level is
generalized throughout most of the country - except in very remote provinces, which
expect to popularize and standardize middle education fully within the next few years.
Intermediate is a non-compulsory schooling form in Vietnam.
Secondary education, which consists of grades 10, 11 and 12, is standardized in all
major urban regions, but is not in rural provinces. After 3 high school terms, all
students must attend a graduation test. This test often consists of 6 subjects differently
selected each year but has to contain the 3 compulsory ones: Foreign Language
(mostly English), Mathematics and Literature. The Vietnamese government intends to
merge this test with the university entrance test in 2009.
36. Pre-primary education in Vietnam is popularized all over the country
37. Primary education is compulsory in Vietnam.
38. Students from grade 6 to 9 have to take an important examination to continue their
education at high school.
39. Secondary education is standardized in all over the country,
40. The graduation test for all high school. students often consists of 6 subjects which
are fixed years after years.

University Entrance Examination is very important in Vietnamese students. High
school graduates have to take it and get high results to be admitted to universities. The
pressure on the candidates remains very high despite the measures that have been
taken to reduce the heat around these exams, since securing a place in a state
university is considered a major step towards a successful career for young people,
especially those from rural areas or disadvantaged families. In the year 2004, it was
estimated that nearly 1 million Vietnamese students took the University Entrance
Examination, but on average only 1 out of 5 candidates succeeded. Normally,
candidates take 3 exam subjects, and each lasts 180 minutes for the fixed group of
subjects they choose. There are 4 fixed groups of subjects: Group A: Mathematics,
Physics, and Chemistry; Group B: Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry; Group C:
Literature, History, and Geography; Group D: Literature, Foreign Language, and
Mathematics.
In addition to universities, there are community colleges, art and technology
institutes, professional secondary schools, and vocational schools which offer degrees
or certificates from a-few-month to 2-year courses.
According to Vietnam's Ministry of Education and Training, there are currently 23
non-public universities, accounting for 11% of the total number of universities. These
non-public universities are currently training 119,464 students, or.,11.7% of the total
number of students. The government is planning to increase the number of non-public
universities to 30% by 2007.

As Chinese society changes, higher education is undergoing major transformations.
The university model of the United States and other Western countries has a powerful
influence. New trends in Chinese higher education are attracting the attention of global
educators. Since the establishment of Western-oriented modem universities at the end
of nineteenth century, Chinese higher education has continued to evolve. Over the past
two decades, however, tremendous economic development in China has stimulated
reforms in higher education that have resulted in some remarkable changes.
The first modern institution, Peiyang University, was founded in Tianjin. The
university changed its name to Tianjin University in 1951 and became one of the
leading universities in China. Next, Jiaotong University was founded in Shanghai in
1896. In the 1950s, most of this university was moved to Xi’an, an ancient capital city
in northwest China, and became Xi’an Jiaotong University; the part of the university
remaining in Shanghai was renamed Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Tianjin University celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 1995, followed by Xi'an
Jiaotong and Shanghai Jiaotong Universities in 1996. Other leading universities, such
as Zhejiang University (1897), Beijing University (1898), and Nanjing University
(1902) also recently celebrated their hundredth anniversaries, one after another. These
celebrations marked the beginning of a new chapter in Chinese higher education.

According to the Academic Ranking of World Universities, more than 30 of the
highest-ranked 45 institutions are in the United States, as measured by awards and
research output. Public universities, private universities, liberal arts colleges, and
community colleges all have a significant role in higher education in the United States.
An even stronger pattern is shown by the Webometrics Ranking of World Universities
with 103 US universities in the World's Top 200 universities.
The 2006 American Community Survey conducted by the United States Census
Bureau found that 19.5 percent of the population had attended college but had no
degree, 7.4 percent held an associate's degree, 17.1 percent held a bachelor's degree,
and 9.9 percent held a graduate or professional degree.
Educational attainment in the United States is similar to that of other developed
countries. Colleges and universities in the U.S. vary in terms of goals: some may
emphasize a vocational, business, engineering, or technical curriculum while others
may emphasize a liberal arts curriculum. Many combine some or all of the above.
Students can apply to some colleges using the Common Application. There is j no
limit to the number of colleges or universities to which a student may apply, though an
application must be submitted for each.
Graduate study, conducted after obtaining an initial degree and sometimes after
several years of professional work, leads to a more advanced degree such as a master's
degree. After additional years of study and sometimes in conjunction with the
completion of a master's degree, students may earn a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.d.) or
other doctoral degree.
Only 8.9 percent of US students ever receive postgraduate degrees, and. most, after
obtaining their bachelor's degree, proceed directly into the workforce.
36. Not any other country has more highest-ranked universities and institutions than
the US does.
37. Higher, education in the USA is the-same as that in the China,
38. Each student can apply only one college or university
39. Students can continue studying to get a more advanced degree after working for
some years.
40. After getting their bachelor’s degree, most of US students continue their studies

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer

Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job
interview make you feel a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of
the employing process. But it is not really true. The more you prepare and practice, the
more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as possible about the
company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce
and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and
who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel more
confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list of
questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a
great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the
best person for the job. Your application or resume has already exhibited that you are
qualified. Now it is up to you to show how your skills and experience match this
position and this company. The employer will be looking and listening to determine if
you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in
addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress,
appropriately; express your strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be
enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain eye
contact; and ask questions.
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to
restate your interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to
time it so that the note gets there before the hiring decision is made. You should also
follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back from the employer within the
specified time.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (or TOEFL for short) evaluates the
potential success of an individual to use and understand Standard American English at
a college level. It is required for non-native applicants at many English-speaking
colleges and universities. Additionally, institutions such as government agencies,
businesses or scholarship programs may require this test.
A TOEFL score is valid for two years and then is deleted from the official
database. Colleges and universities usually consider only the most recent score. The
TOEFL test is a registered trademark of Education Testing Service and is administered
worldwide.
The test was first administered in 1964 and has since been taken by nearly 20
million students. Since its introduction in late 2005, the Internet-Eased test (iBT) has
progressively replaced both the computer-based (CBT) and paper-based (PBT) tests.
The iBT has been introduced in with the United States, Canada, France, Germany, and
Italy in 2005 and the rest of the world in 2006, with test center added regularly.
Although the demand for test seats was very high, and candidates had to wait for
months, it is now possible to take the test within one to four weeks in most countries.
The four-hour test consists of four sections, each measuring mainly one of the basic
language skills (although some tasks may require multiple skills) focusing on language
used in an academic, higher-education environment. Note-taking is allowed during the
iBT. The test cannot be taken more than once a week.
36. TOEFL is required for all high school students in the US.
37. Students in Vietnam can take iBT since 2005.

Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has
had to recover from the ravages of war. Substantial progress was achieved from 1986
to 1997 in moving forward from an extremely low level of development and
significantly reducing poverty.
Since 2001, Vietnamese authorities have reaffirmed their, commitment to
economic liberalization and international integration. They have moved to implement
the structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to produce more
competitive, export-driven industries.
Vietnam’s membership in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and entry into
force of the US-Vietnam Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001 have led to
even more rapid changes in Vietnam’s trade and economic regime. Vietnam’s exports
to the US doubled in 2002 and again in 2003.
Vietnam joined the WTO (World Trade Organization) in January 2007, following
over a decade long negotiation process. This should provide an important boost to the
economy and should help to ensure the continuation of liberalizing reforms.
Vietnam is working to create jobs to meet the challenge of a labor force that is
growing by more than one million people every year. Vietnamese authorities have
tightened monetary and fiscal policies to stem high inflation. Hanoi is targeting an
economic growth rate of 7.5- 8% during the next five years.

Between 1945 and 1973, the economies of the industrialized nations of Western
Europe, Japan, and the U.S. grew fast enough to vastly improve living standards for
their residents. A similarly favorable growth was registered by some, but far
from all, of the developing or industrializing nations, in particular such thriving
Southeast Asian economies as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea.
After the devastation of World War II, a substantial rebuilding boom, combined with
lavish flows of aid from the U.S., generated rapid growth in Western Europe and
Japan. American multinational corporations invented heavily in the rest of world.
Perhaps the most important of all, energy was plentiful and cheap.
Poor nations need aid from the rich nations in the form of capital and of
technological and organizational expertise. They also need easy access to the markets
of the industrialized nations for their manufactures and raw materials. However, the
political capacity of rich nations to respond to these needs depends greatly on their
own success in coping with inflation and unemployment. In democratic communities,
it is exceedingly difficult to generate public support for assistance to foreign countries
when average wage earners are themselves under serious financial pressure. It is no
easier politically to permit cheap foreign merchandise and materials to freely enter
American and European markets when they are viewed as the cause of unemployment
among domestic workers.
36. Japan carried out industrialization before World War II.
37. After World War II, the US invested a lot in many countries,
38. Vietnam got a lot of investment from the US from 1945 to 1973.

financial pressure.

In 1986 Vietnam launched a political and economic innovation campaign (Doi
Moi) that introduced reforms intended to facilitate the transition from a centralized
economy to a "socialist-oriented market economy.'’ Doi Moi combined government
planning with free-market incentives. The program abolished agricultural collectives,
removed price controls on agricultural goods, and enabled farmers to sell their goods
in the marketplace. It encouraged the establishment of private businesses and foreign
investment, including foreign-owned enterprises.
By the late 1990s, the success of the business and agricultural reforms ushered in
under Doi Moi was evident. More than 30,000 private businesses had been created,
and the economy was growing at an annual rate of more than 7 percent. From the early
1990s to 2005, poverty declined from about 50 percent to 29 percent of the population.
However, progress varied geographically, with most prosperity concentrated in urban
areas, particularly in and around Ho Chi Minh City. In general, rural areas also made
progress, as rural households living in poverty declined from 66 percent of the total in
1993 to 36 percent in 2002. By contrast, concentrations of poverty remained in certain
rural areas, particularly the northwest, north-central coast, and central highlands.
Government control of the economy and a nonconvertible currency have protected
Vietnam from what could have been a more severe impact resulting from the East
Asian financial crisis in 1997.

Economic issues have occupied people’s minds throughout the ages. Aristotle and
Plato in ancient Greece wrote about problems of wealth, property, and (41) ... Both of
them were against commerce, feeling that to live by trade was undesirable. The
Romans borrowed their economic ideas from the Greeks and showed the same
contempt for trade.
During the Middle Ages, the economic ideas of the Roman (42) … commerce as
inferior to agriculture. The development of modern nation during (43) …16th century
made many people to pay (44) … to the problem of increasing the wealth and (45) …
of individuals. The economic policy of the leaders of that time was to (46) … national
self-sufficiency. Gold and silver were regarded as an index of national power. Several
powerful countries, such as England and Spain, were trying to expand their colonies
and to (47) … the gold and silver mines from there. Many countries were always ready
to plunge into a new war for gold and silver mines. It was necessary for a nation to
keep wages low and the population large and growing. A large, ill- paid population
(48) … more goods to sell at low prices to foreigners. It also followed that the earlier
that children began to work, the better it was for their country's prosperity. One writer
had a plan for children of the poor: (49) … the children are four years old, they should
be sent to the workhouse, taught to read two hours a day, and kept fully employed the
rest of the time in any of the manufactures of the house which best suits their age, (50)

In the future, genetic engineering will allow us to create the perfect human. It
will be hard to get used to. Parents will order a baby who will grow up to become
a genius or to have a Miss World appearance. Also, genetic engineering will allow
us to mix plants and animals.
As computers have advanced, they have helped us remember, calculate, organize,
and clarify. So it will become easier to deal with things, and much quicker. At a point
in a future time, some may claim that computers become about as' smart as Newton or
Einstein. More advanced computers will be able to be creative, respond to feelings in a
feeling way, develop intuition, recognize patterns, and suggest innovative alternatives.
There is a hope if we choose to take action. We can select Internet information wisely,
choose healthy computer games, limit our exposure to television commercials, and
select television programs carefully. People will be aware of the importance of
keeping active, getting outside to do more physical activities. We will also plan to
make a major sacrifice the next time we buy a car, take the bus. Everybody will be
more concerned about making environmentally friendly choices, eating healthy, and
helping build a healthier society by shopping at better stores that sell better food
Most people will be aware that a happy, loving family is a joy to be part of, and
that it is a necessary foundation for building a strong society. But it is extremely
important for our future that we maintain a healthy perspective. We need to value and
appreciate the importance of what can be achieved by loving and committed parents.
People need a strong foundation, so it is vital for our society that we encourage parents
to work.at creating love, joy, and happiness for their children in a decent, stable, and

What happens if, or when, robots are more intelligent than us? If we are going to
start to see robots running around with personalities equivalent to human beings, in
fifteen or twenty years. It is about time that we start thinking about that now. These
machines are being developed. What will be the ultimate effect of this? Should they be
allowed to make decisions regarding the application of labour force? What form and
how intimate should human-robot relationships become? Is it a good or bad thing if
robots become our natural successors and we fade into extinction?
Today's computers operate using transistors, wires and electricity. Future computers
might use atoms, fibers and light. A new NASA-developed computing device allows
machines to work much like the brain. This technology may allow fast-thinking
machines to make decisions based on what they see. A planetary rover might use this
technology to avoid obstacles. A spacecraft might use the technology to avoid hazards
and identify a pre-selected landing site with very high precision. The device works
much like the brain, whose power comes from the complex networks of
interconnections called “synapses” between brain cells. Networks of these brain cells,
called neurons, allow humans to make instant decisions based on an observed image or
scene.
What might the world be like, if computers with the size of molecules become a
reality? There will be the types of computers that may be everywhere, but never be
seen. Bio - computers with very small size will target specific areas inside your body.
Imagine the ways that billions of tiny, powerful computers will change, our society.
36. In the future, robots will take place of the human labor force.
37. Human beings will be in danger of extinction due to robots' destruction
38. So far, the scientists from NASA have developed machines, which work in the
same way as the brain.
39. A new NASA-developed computing device can help a spacecraft avoid hazards
and identify a pre-selected landing site with very high precision.

Within a few more years a whole host of robotic adaptations will be running
many aspects of our lives. “I think in (43) … next thirty years, we are going to see a
transformation between the industrial sorts of robots to personal robots,” says Brooks
from Brooks’ company, IRobot, markets floor cleaning robots for homes.
“The advances in robotics make it clear that many household (44) … will be easily
handled by a robot in the near future,75 says Bob Christopher, who works for a robotic
technology company that is marketing a toy robot (45) … Pleo. “We have only one

Unit 8 Within the next 10 years one will be able to (47) … to lease or purchase a domestic
robot that not only does the household cleaning and prepare and serve
his meals, (48) … also can carry him to the bathtub if he cannot walk.
Demographic changes, such as a rapidly aging population and a shrinking

In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which
have been around for a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the
measurement of photovoltaic cells becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient
solar car is more reality than fantasy. A solar car is a vehicle powered by photovoltaic
cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into electrical
energy. As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the Sup: in a mere one
thousandth of one second (.001), the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our planet's
energy needs for the next 5,000 years. It is a staggering fact, and an exciting one.
Since the energy from the sun is responsible for renewable resources such as wind,
tides, and heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but
for the entire energy crisis. Despite the appearance that solar energy may be the least
feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar powered
devices and more specifically solar powered cars are beginning to be developed. How
do Solar Cars work?
Unit 8
The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight. This action generates heat,
which the cells then convert into electrical energy and stores in an on- board battery.
This process of conversion is called the photovoltaic effect Not surprisingly, such a
vehicle has zero emissions, and is very environmentally. friendly. Unfortunately, at the
moment photovoltaic cells are extremely inefficient, yet as time progresses the
efficiency of these cells will grow. This will make solar energy and solar cars the fuel
and car of the future -a closer reality.
36. According to the text, ...

Consider activities that most take for granted, particularly those who live in
industrialized nations: drinking a glass of water; driving a car or traveling by mass
transportation; living in a decent house or apartment; using modem household
appliances; using tools to build, fix and repair; even breathing fresh air. These
activities improve our quality of life. Have you considered that to do all of the above
requires the availability of natural resources, whether used as raw materials or in
finished products?
The United Nations predicts that the global population will increase from the
present 6.65 billion to 7.95 billion by the year 2025. At the same time, the world is
becoming more prosperous. The average person is consuming more food, water,
energy and metals. Multiple millions in nations that were once poor are now moving
into the middle class. They are driving cars, acquiring household appliances, using
electronic gadgets and adopting high-protein diets, similar to Western industrialized
nations. The subject of natural resources has been in the news for years. The media has
long reported that the world’s supply of oil, minerals, fresh water, and lumber are in
danger of running out. Yet very few people take this seriously.
Within the next 50 years, the world's population is projected to rise by 40%. This
growth, coupled with increasing industrialization and urbanization, will result in
greater demand for water. Water will become much scarcer. The United Nations
figures suggest that there are around 800 potential conflicts over water all over the
world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about one-sixth of the
world’s population lacks access to clean water, while 40% are without access to proper
sanitation services.

Computer and telecommunications are already giving us access to large amounts of
information. They are increasing our brain power. As computers become more
powerful they will grow more intelligent. There seems no reason why machines should
not become more intelligent than people in the future. Computers will start to design
and build other computers. They will then be able to evolve. There will then be two
forms of “life”. Many thousands of years in the future there might be competition for
power between computers and life. Which will win?
Well, computers certainly have many advantages over life. They can
• process large amounts of information quickly
• be switched off for years, then start to work perfectly when they are switched back
on
• be made very small, and control tiny machines
• work together in networks to solve big problems Furthermore
• Electronics is much simpler than life's chemistry and does not need liquid water.
• Unlike animals, which rely on plants to turn sunlight into chemical energy.
semiconductors (the material that computers are made from) can turn sunlight
directly into electricity.
When you compare computers to people the advantages are even more obvious.
• Computers do not have the instincts to fight which people seem to have.
• It takes only a few seconds to load a program into a computer but years to educate a
human. %
• When computers get out of date their information can be passed to new computers,
but when people get old and die all their knowledge is lost.
For all these reasons computers are believed to be more successful and important
than life many thousands of years in the future. It will be computers, not people, to
colonize the other planets and explore the Galaxy. Life will be left behind on Earth, as
a treasured relic of where computers came from. However it is possible that computers
and life might merge to make a new, even more powerful form of intelligent being.
36 In the future, mankind and computers will have a serious war for survival.
37. A computer can design and build other ones.

A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans.
In hot deserts, high temperatures cause rapid loss of water due to sweating, and the
absence of water sources with which to replenish it can result in dehydration and death
within a few days. In addition, unprotected humans are also at risk from heatstroke.
Humans may also have to adapt to sandstorms in some deserts, not just in their
adverse effects on respiratory systems and eyes, but also in their potentially harmful
effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles and communication equipment.
Sandstorms can last for hours, sometimes even days.
Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts their home for thousands of
years, including the Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people. Modern technology,
including advanced irrigation systems, desalinization and air conditioning, has made
deserts much more hospitable. In the United States and Israel for example, desert
farming has found extensive use.
In cold deserts, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as
dehydration in the absence of a source of heat to melt ice for drinking. Falling through
pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a particular danger requiring
emergency action to prevent rapid hypothermia. Starvation is also a hazard; in low
temperatures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat and to
move. As with hot deserts, some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh
conditions of cold deserts.

Approximately one-third of the Earth’s land surface is. desert, arid land with
meager rainfall that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people
and animals. Deserts have been portrayed as fascinating environments of adventure
and exploration. These arid regions are called deserts because they are dry. They may
be hot. They may be cold. They may be regions of sand or vast areas of rocks with
occasional plants.
Deserts are natural laboratories in which to study the interactions of wind and
sometimes water on the arid surfaces of planets. They contain valuable mineral
deposits that were formed in the arid environment or that were exposed by erosion.
Because deserts are dry, they are ideal places for human artifacts and fossils to be
preserved. Deserts are also fragile environments. The misuse of these lands is a serious
and growing problem in parts of our world.
Unit 9
There are many animals in the desert. Some are very large, like the kangaroo or the
gazelle. Both are big and have to travel long distances for water at a spring, or an
oasis. Another fairly large animal is the addax. The addax is a desert antelope. They
live in the Sahara Desert. All addaxes are herbivores. There are less than 200 of them
left because of hunting and tourists. Some animals crawl along. Examples of these are
snakes and lizards. Snakes rarely drink water; they get their moisture from other prey
that they eat. So do others, like the kangaroo rat. Lizards are commonly found in the
desert. They stay out of the sun and move as little as possible. There are also other
animals in the desert. The fennec lives in northern Africa in the Sahara Desert. They
are a relative of the fox. They eat mice, small birds, lizards, and insects. When
necessary, they will eat fruit. One more desert: animal is the jerboa. The jerboa is a
small, long distance jumper that lives in the desert. They are free drinking animals and
they eat plants, seeds, and bugs.

The Sonoran Desert is a North American desert which expands part of the United
States- Mexico border and covers large parts of Arizona and California and the
Mexican states. It is one of the largest and hottest deserts in North America, with an
area of 311.000 km2
The Sonoran Desert contains a variety of unique plants and animals. The desert
includes 60 mammal species, 350 bird species, 20 amphibian species, more than 100
reptile species, 30 native fish species, and more than 2000 native plant species.
Despite the common stereotype that it does not rain in deserts, the Sonoran Desert is
considered the wettest desert in the world, receiving 3 to 14 inches per year
(depending on location in the desert)
Many plants not only survive the harsh conditions of the Sonoran Desert, but they
actually thrive. Many have evolved to have specialized adaptations to the desert
climate. The Sonoran Desert such plant from the agave family, palm family, cactus
family, legume family, and many others. This desert is the only place in the world
where the famous saguaro cactus grows in the wild
The desert is home to seventeen aboriginal American culture. The largest city in the
Sonoran Desert is Phoenix, Arizona, the USA. This metropolitan area in central
Arizona is one of the fastest- growing metropolitan areas in the United States, with a
population of 4 million. In the North Phoenix area, desert is losing ground to
development at a rate of approximately 4.000 m2 per hour. The next largest cities are
Tucson, in Southern Arizona, with a metro area population of around 900.000, and
Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, whose municipality also has a population of
around 900.000. The municipality of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico has a population of
around 700.000.

Desert air (41) … little moisture, so few clouds form over the land. Without clouds
to block the sun, temperatures may reach as (42) … as 125°F during the day. At night,
without the clouds to contain the heat, the temperature can fall to as low as 125 °F.
Extreme temperatures (43) … with little rainfall make desert life difficult for
people, plants, and animals. (44) … some life forms have adapted to even the most
severe desert (45) … Camels are able to survive long periods without food or water.
Many desert plants have long, shallow (46) … systems. This allows the plants to reach
out to collect water over great distances. Other desert plants have taproots. Taproots
grow very deep (47) … they can tap sources of underground water. Plant life in the
desert is usually spread out over great distances. This is (48) … deserts are often
described as barren, or lifeless.
When many people think of a desert they often think of endless miles of hot sand,
but a desert does not have to be hot or sandy. Most of the land of the Middle East and
North Africa as hot, dry desert land, (49) … some deserts look very different. Most of

Species that belong to an area are s-aid to be native species. Typically, they have
been part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted
to the local environment and to the presence of other native species in the same
general habitat. Exotic species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced
intentionally or accidentally into new settings through human activities. In one context
an introduced species may cause no obvious problems and may, ever time, be regarded
as being just as “natural” as any native species in the same habitat. In another context,
exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances and create a cascade of
unintended consequences.
The worst of these unintended consequences arise when introduced species put
native species in destruction by preying on them, altering their habitats, or out-
competing them in the struggle for food resources. Although biological introductions
have affected environments the world over, the most destructive effects have occurred
on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats, mongooses, and other nonnative
species have caused the grave endangerment or outright extinction of literally
hundreds of species during the past 500 years.
One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation. This word
refers to the utilization of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme
endangerment or outright extinction. Among many examples of severe
overexploitation, the case of the great whales stands out in special relief By the middle
of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought many species of whales to
incredibly low population sizes. In response to public pressure, in 19S2 a number of
nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on whaling. As a
direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction’s
doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the
western Pacific. Others remain at great risk. Many other species, however, continue to
suffer high rates of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts. Currently, the
demand for animal parts is centered in several parts of Asia where there is a strong
market for traditional medicines made from items like tiger bone and rhino horn.

We live in a dynamic world, and habitats are always undergoing changes at all
sorts of levels. However, natural changes usually occur at a slow pace so that impacts
on individual species tend to be slight - at least in the short term. When the pace of
change is greatly accelerated, there may be no time for individual species to react to
new circumstances, and the effects can be disastrous.
Briefly, this is the reason rapid habitat loss is regarded as the chief cause of species
endangerment, and there is no force more powerful in this regard than human being.

To some extent, every part of the earth has been affected by human activities,
especially during this past century. This applies on virtually every scale, from the loss
of microbes in soils that once supported tropical forests, to the extinction of fish and
other aquatic species in polluted freshwater habitats, to changes in global climate
caused by the release of greenhouse gases.
From the perspective of an individual human lifetime, such changes may be hard
to detect and their effects on individual species may be hard to predict; But the lesson
is clear enough. For example, although many countries hive had plans to grow many
tropical forests, they are highly susceptible to destruction because the soils in which
they grow are poor in available nutrient Centuries may be required to bring back a
forest that was cut down or burnt out in the space of a few years. Many of the world's
severely threatened animals and plants live in such forests, and it is certain that huge
numbers of them will disappear if present rates of forest loss continue.
36. Habitats in the world are unchangeable and fixedly exist.
37. All species can adapt themselves to new circumstances easily and quickly.
38. Human beings are the main cause that leads to rapid habitat loss,
39. Many kinds of fish are also in danger, of extinction because water habitats are
polluted.
40. Many countries have grown as many tropical forests as they destroyed in the past
years.
When the word “endangered” is mentioned, people usually think of particular species,
like the panda or whooping crane. However, we would like to encourage
you to think about (41) … in a broader context. It is (42) … , the physical places
where species live and interact with one another. Although the development of special
breeding programs, also known as captive conservation, may help some species in
some cases, it is clearly not (43)… answer to the global problem! Indeed, (44) … we
are able to protect natural areas where endangered species actually live, they have no
future.
Species become endangered for a wide (45) … of reasons. By analyzing and grouping
many individual cases, however, we find the same broad causes (46) … again and
again. They are Habitat Destruction, Exotic Species, and Overexploitation. Among
other factors threatening particular species are limited distribution, disease, and
pollution. Limited distributions are often a consequence of other threats: populations
confined to one or a few small areas because of habitat (47) … for example, may be
disastrously affected by random factors. Diseases can have severe (48) … on species
lacking natural genetic protections against particular pathogens, like the rabies and
canine dis- temper viruses that are currently devastating carnivore populations in East
Africa. Domestic animals are usually the reservoirs of these and other diseases
affecting wild (49) … showing once again that human activities lie at the root of most
causes of endangerment. Pollution has seriously done harm (50)...... number of
terrestrial species, although species living in freshwater and marine ecosystems are
also suffering.

By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to
exist today. In recent centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always
as a result of human activities. The passenger pigeon, one familiar example, was a
source of food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its extinction in 1914.
Th& North American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market
hunters in the 1800s, came close to sharing the same fate. Bison survive today only
because of the efforts of early conservationists.
Today, species require such efforts more urgently than ever. An essential task that
falls to present-day conservationists is to determine which species are most
endangered, so that conservation resources can be applied where action is needed
most, species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild is
threatened. World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall
mainly within the two most serious categories of threat: critically endangered and
endangered. What threatens these species’ existence? Some of the top threats are
habitat destruction by unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human settlement;
pollution of water, soil, and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to
fossil fuel use; unmanaged fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting: to
supply the demand for skins, hides, traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs.
The list which conservationists presents only a fraction of the species at risk of
extinction today and does not include thousands of species whose status we do not yet
know. Hundreds of species- without common names have been left out, which means
that while many mammals are on this list, only a few insects and mollusks are
included.
Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to "the
majestic tiger, to the humble thick-shell pond snail. Large or small, beautiful or ugly,
all species play a role in the complex circle of life. All of us depend on the natural
resources of our planet. Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance,
and beauty of our world is diminished. And what threatens plants and animals
ultimately threatens people as well.

Plants and animals hold medicinal, agricultural, ecological value. Endangered
species must be protected and saved so that future generations can experience their
presence and value.
Plants and animals are responsible for a variety of useful medications. In fact,
about forty percent of all prescriptions written today are composed from the natural
compounds of different species. These species not only save lives, but they contribute
to a prospering pharmaceutical industry worth over $40 billion annually.
Unfortunately, only 5% of known plant species have been screened for their medicinal
values, although we continue to lose up to 100 species daily. The Pacific yew, a slow-
growing tree found in the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest, was historically
considered a “trash” tree. However, a substance in its bark was recently identified as
one of the most promising treatments for ovarian and breast cancer. Additionally,
more than 3 million American heart disease sufferers would die within 72 hours of a
heart attack without digitalis, a drug derived from the purple foxglove
There are an estimated 80,000 edible plants in the world. Humans depend upon
only 20 species of these plants, such as wheat and corn, to provide 90% of the world's
food. Wild relatives of these common crops contain essential disease-resistant
material. They also provide humans with the means to develop new crops that can
grow in inadequate lands such as in poor soils or drought-stricken areas to help solve
the world hunger problem. In the 1970s, genetic material from a wild com species in
Mexico was used to stop a leaf fungus that had previously wiped out 15% of the U.S.
com crop.
Plant and animal species are the foundation of healthy ecosystems. Humans depend on
ecosystems such as coastal estuaries, prairie grasslands, and ancient
forests to purify their air, clean their water, and supply them with food. When species
become endangered, it is an indicator that the health of these vital ecosystems is
beginning to unravel. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that losing one
plant species can trigger the loss of up to 30 other insect, plant and higher animal
species. The northern spotted owl, listed as threatened in 1990, is an indicator of the
declining health of the ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest. These forests are the
home to over 100 other old-growth dependent species, which are at risk due to decades
of unsustainable forest management practices. Pollution off the coast of Florida is
killing the coral reefs along the Florida Keys, which serve as habitat for hundreds of
species of fish. Commercial fish species have begun to decline, causing a threat to the
multi-million dollar tourism industry, which depends on the quality of the
environments

One of the most important ways to help threatened plants and animals survive is to
protect their habitats permanently in national parks, nature reserves or wilderness
areas. There they can live without too much interference from humans. It is also
important to protect habitats outside reserves such as on farms and along roadsides.
You can visit a nearby national park or nature reserve. Some national parks have
special guided tours and walks for kids. Talk to the rangers to find out whether there
are any threatened species and how they are being protected. You and your friends
might be able to help the rangers in their conservation work.
When you visit a national park, make sure you obey the wildlife code: follow fire
regulations; leave your pets at home; leave flowers, birds’ eggs, logs, bushes and rocks
where you find them; put your rubbish in a bin or, better still, take it home.
If you have friends who live on farms, encourage them to keep patches of bush as'
wildlife habitats and to leave old trees standing, especially those with hollows suitable
for nesting animals.
Some areas have groups which look after local lands and nature reserves. They do
this by removing weeds and planting local native species in their place. You could join
one of these groups, or even, start a new one with your parents and friends. Ask your
local parks authority or council for information.
By removing rubbish and weeds and replanting with native plants, you will allow
the native bush to gradually regenerate. This will also encourage native animals to
return.
36. Plants and animals can live without too much interference from humans in
national parks, nature reserves or wilderness areas,
37. Never visiting a national park is a good way of helping conserve wildlife.
38. Tourists cannot ask anything about threatened species when they are in a national
park.
39. Farms are also ideal places for conserving species,
40. Native species will reproduce some day in the future,
The current global extinction rate is (41) … at about 20,000 species per year
exponentially greater than the background extinction rate. Many (42) … believe
that we are in the middle of the greatest mass extinction episode since the (43) …
of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
From what is known about present-day populations and from (44) … theory, the
change in either the physical (45) … the biological environment is the key to
extinction. However, the vulnerability of a species depends (46) … a wide variety of
factors, such as its total population size, geographical (47) …, reproductive ability,
ecological relations with other species, and genetic characteristics. For example, more
emphasis is put on the greater vulnerability of species that reproduce slowly as
contrasted with those that reproduce (48 ) … Other factors, such as food-plant
specialization, may make many fast reproducers more vulnerable than species that
reproduce more slowly. No matter (49) … fast an insect species that depends on (50)
… certain plan can reproduce, it will still go extinct if that plant’s habitat is destroyed.
It has been estimated that about one half billion species have lived at one time or
another, and today's existing species are only 2% of those that have ever evolved. The
other 98% have either died out or evolved into something sufficiently different to be
called a new species.

Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process, very little
reading, or if you read only material that offers no challenge comprehension, your
reading will be of very little use. Once we reach a certain age, or once our formal
schooling is completed, many of us become so restricted in our choice of reading that
we rarely read any new type of reading experience. We tend to read only books in our
professional or business field, or only inspirational books, or only our favorite
newspapers every morning, or only one magazine for which we have developed a
preference. And the trouble starts here. You should neither read only for entertainment
nor only for information but you should also read for intellectual growth, for mental
stimulation, for enriching your background of knowledge, for wisdom, and for broader
outlook and mature understanding.
What kind of books should you read to continue your intellectual growth, to gain a
background for opinion and for judgment? The answer is simple one: Read books in
fields you have little or no acquaintance with, books that will open, for you new
horizons of learning, book that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and
experience, books that will make the world and people more understandable to you.
Sadly, more and more people today are giving up the printed word in favor of being
entertained and informed by watching TV, a popular entertainment device present at
almost homes. More and more children are being subjected to TV programming,
perhaps as a babysitter. More than two hours of TV time per day are now a part of
children development, generating physiological and mental problems that are of
growing concern among experts.

It is often said that books are always a good friends and reading is an active mental
process. Unlike TV, books make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and
become smarter. Reading improves concentration and focus. Reading books takes
brain power. It requires you to focus on what you are reading for long periods. Unlike
magazines, Internet posts or e-Mails that might contain small pieces of information.
Books tell the whole story. Since you must concentrate in order to read, you will get
better.at concentration. Many studies show if you do not use your memory, you lose
it.: Reading helps you stretch your memory muscles. Reading requires remembering
details, facts and figures and in literature, plot lines, themes and characters.
Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when
you were at elementary school you learned how to infer the meaning of one word by
reading the context of the other words in the sentence? While reading books,
especially challenging ones, you will find yourself exposed to many new words.
Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to
go with it. Why? Because books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide
information that goes deeper than just classroom discussions By reading more books,
you become better informed and more of an expert on the topics you read about. This
expertise translates into higher self-esteem. Since you are so well-read, people look to
you for answers. Your feelings about yourself can only get better.
Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information you
have got, the-richer your knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by letting you
see what other cities and countries have to offer before you visit them.

Have you ever written a book report? First of all, you have to read the book., Your
next step will be to organize what you are going to say about it in your report. Writing
the basic elements down in an outline format will help you to organize your thoughts.
What will you include in the outline? Follow whatever instructions your teacher has
given you. If you are on your own, however, the following guidelines should help.
Let’s assume for the moment that you have chosen a work of fiction. We will start
with a description of the book. The description should include such elements as:
1. The setting: Where does the story take place? Is it a real place or an imaginary one?
If the author does not tell you exactly where the story is set, what can you tell about
it from the way it is described?
2. The time period: Is the story set .in the present day or in an earlier time period?
Perhaps it is even set in the future! Let your reader know.
3. The main characters: Who is the story mostly about? Give a brief description. Often,
one character can be singled out as the main character, but some books will have
more than one.
4. The plot: What happens to the main character? Warning! Be careful here. Do not
fall into the boring trap of reporting every single thing that happens in the story.
Pick only the most important events. Here are some hints on how to do that. First,
explain the situation of the main character as the story opens. Next, identify the
basic plot element of the story - Is the main character trying to achieve something
or overcome a particular problem? Thirdly, describe a few of the more important
things that happen to the main character as he/she works toward that goal or
solution. Finally, you might hint at the story’s conclusion without completely
giving away the ending.
The four points above deal with the report aspect of your work. For the final
section of your outline, give your reader a sense of the impression the book made upon
you. Ask yourself what the author was trying to achieve and whether or not he
achieved it with you. What larger idea does the story illustrate? How does it do that?
How did you feel about the author’s style of writing, the setting, or the mood of the
novel? You do not have to limit yourself to these areas. Pick something which caught
your attention, and let your reader know your personal response to whatever it was.
36. When you write a book report, you can organize your thoughts by writing the
basic elements down in an outline format.
37. The background of the story, place and time, is not necessary in a book report.
a True b. False c. No information
38. Each book has only one main character.
True b. False c. No. information
39. In your book report, only important events are told.
40. When you report a non-fiction work, you needn’t express your impression on the
book,
Making time to read is something we all know we (41) ... do, but who schedules book
reading time every day? There are very few. That is why adding book reading to your
daily schedule and sticking to it can improve discipline.
Books are (42) ... You can take them almost anywhere. As such, you can learn almost
anywhere too.
By reading more books and exposing yourself (43) … new and more complete
information, you will also be able to come up with more (44) … ideas. When you have
read so many books on the subject, you can combine left sons from all of them into
new (45) …
Reading gives you something to talk about. Have you ever (46) … of things to talk
about with your best friend, wife or husband? This can be uncomfortable. It (47) …
even make married couples :wonder if their marriage is in trouble. (48) … , if you read
a lot of books, you will always have something to talk about. You can discuss various
plots in the novels you read, you can discuss the things you are learning in the
business books you are reading as well. The possibilities of sharing are endless.
Bocks are inexpensive (49) … to help you reduces stress. Many readers relax by
reading. Compared with the person who gets home from work and immediately (50)
… on the TV news, you are going from work stress to crime stress. TV as a source of
relaxation is too full of loud commercials and fast moving violent images. If relaxation
is something you want, turn off the TV or
computer and pick up a book.

There is very little documentation about the origins of water polo. It is known,
however, that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England
as an aquatic version of rugby. Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came
from India known as a “pulu” (the single Indian word for all “halls”).
Pronounced “polo* by the English, both the game and the ball became known as
“
water polo.” To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London
Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools
in 1870. At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the po6l- y with both
hands. A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball
inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear
again as close to the goal as possible. The introduction of the rules by Scottish players
changed the nature of water polo. It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed
and passing.
Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play. Goals became a
cage of 10 x 3 feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown. Players could only be
tackled when they “held” the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water.
The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball. If the player came up too
near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand
on the pool deck. Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as
players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended
with one man floating to the surface unconscious. Water polo was first played in the
USA in 1888. The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled
American football in the water. "American style” water polo became very popular and
by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston’s
Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games.

Water sports are as challenging as they are fun. Although water sports are not as
popular as basketball or football, activities such as parasailing, water skiing, water
polo, wakeboarding, jet skiing and competitive swimming interest many people. All
water sports have an element of danger involved, which is why it is important to
follow these safety tips before you dive in.
Step 1: Learn how to swim. Sure, it seems obvious, but it is also extremely
important. Do not even think about skiing, tubing, wakeboarding or water polo if you
UNIT 12 T2
cannot stay afloat in water deeper than your height.
Step 2: Check your equipment and your life safety tools. Count your life vests and
have floatation devices nearby. If you are engaging in a sport that requires a lot of
equipment, such as wakeboarding, go over every piece to ensure proper functioning.
Step 3: Be physically fit. Put your pride aside and get in shape. Most water sports
are incredibly strenuous and require the player to have physical endurance. It can be
dangerous to participate in a water sport, such as water skiing or wakeboarding, when
your body isn’t ready.
Step 4: Save the tricks for the professionals. If you are an amateur, do not attempt
water sport tricks. It is tempting to push to the next level with' sports like skiing and
sailing, but train heavily first.
Step 5: Recruit a spotter. When you do water sports, always have an extra person
on hand to spot for you. This includes indoor sports like water polo, diving and
competitive swimming.
36. Water sports are much more popular than basketball and football.
37. Sometimes it is dangerous to play a water sport.
38. The first thing you have to do is to learn how to swim if you want to take up a

Recreational diving or sport diving is a type of diving that uses scuba equipment
for the purpose of leisure and enjoyment. In some diving circles, the term “recreational
diving” is used in contradistinction to “technical diving”, a more demanding aspect of
the sport which requires greater levels of training, experience and equipment.
Recreational scuba diving grew out of related activities such as snorkeling and
underwater hunting. For a long time, recreational underwater excursions were limited
by the amount of breath that could be held. However, the Invention of the aqualung in
1943 by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and its development over subsequent
years led to a revolution in recreational diving. However, for much of the 1950s and
early 1960s, recreational scuba diving was a sport limited to those who were able to
afford or make their own kit, and prepared to undergo intensive training to use it. As
the sport became more popular, manufacturers became aware of the potential market,
and equipment began to appear that was easy to use, affordable and reliable.
Continued advances in SCUBA technology, such as buoyancy compensators, modern
diving regulators, wet or dry suits, and dive computers, increased the safety, comfort
and convenience of the gear encouraging more people to train and use it.
Until the early 1950s, navies and other organizations performing professional
diving were the only providers of diver training, but only for their own personnel and
only using their own types of equipment There were no training courses available to
civilians who bought the first scuba equipment Professional instruction started in 1959
when the non-profit National Association of Underwater Instructors was formed.
Further developments in technology have reduced the cost of training and diving.
Scuba-diving has become a popular leisure activity, and many diving locations have
some form of dive shop presence that can offer air fills, equipment and training. In
tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world, there is a large market in holiday divers,
who train and dive while on holiday, but rarely dive close to home. Generally,
recreational diving depths; are limited to a maximum of between 30 and 40 meters
(100 and 130 feet) beyond which a variety of safety issues make it unsafe to dive using
recreation diving equipment and practices, and specialized training and equipment for
technical diving are needed.

The 22nd SEA Games, hosted this year by Vietnam, has joined the international
movement to rid sports of tobacco. For the first time, the regional sporting event will
be tobacco-free under a landmark cooperative agreement signed in April 2003 between
the World Health Organization (WHO), the 22nd SEA Games Organizing Committee
and the Vietnamese Ministry of Health. Hanoi Health Department has organized a
press seminar to celebrate and raise awareness about the tobacco-free SEA Games.

tobacco products, and restricts smoking in all Games venues. The aim is to protect

social acceptability of smoking.
Madame Pascale Brudon, WHO Representative in Vietnam, stated, ‘'Vietnam has
established 3 years ago a comprehensive, ambitious national tobacco control policy
and a national tobacco control program. The tobacco-free 22nd SEA Games will be
yet another area where Vietnam is leading the way for other countries in
the region and the world in protecting its citizens from the debilitating and disastrous
consequences of tobacco use”

The 25th SEA Games is scheduled to be held in Vientiane, Laos in 2009. This will
be the first Time the country has ever held a Southeast Asian Games. If Laos failed to
meet qualifications to hold the event in time, the games would be moved to Singapore.
It will also commemorate the 50 years of the SEA Gaines.
Because of the limited sports facilities in Vientiane, only 25 sports will be in
competition. Among the sports will be missing from competition are cycling,
gymnastics, hockey, rowing and weightlifting. The games will retain events like tenpin
bowling, petanque, billiards, ‘dragon’ boat racing, sepak takraw, wushu, Muay Thai
and pencak silat, and will resume the sport, of juggling a shuttlecock with feet. The
cutback is partly due to the land-locked country - with no sailing, windsurfing or
triathlon and also lack of facilities in Vientiane.
Laos will host the games with a budget of $80 million, with the help of China who
is building a new stadium to be used as the main venue on a 182-hectare lot in the
Vientiane suburb of Saythani district. The stadium will be the biggest in the country
and will be able to accommodate over 20,000 spectators. Vietnamese government
official has affirmed that Vietnam will help Laos successfully organize the 25th SEA

The primary attraction of snorkeling is the opportunity to observe underwater life
in a natural setting, such as coral reefs, fish, starfish, and mollusks. Other organisms
that can be seen while snorkeling include various forms of seaweed, jellyfish, shrimp
and sea turtles. Snorkeling requires no special training, only the ability to swim and to
breathe through the snorkel. However, it is considered advisable that one get some
instruction from a tour guide, dive shop, or equipment rental shop, any of which often
can be found around popular snorkeling locations. Instruction generally covers
equipment usage, basic safety, what to look for, and what to look out for, including
how not to damage fragile organisms such as coral. As with scuba diving, it is always
recommended that one should not snorkel alone, but rather with a friend, a guide, or a
tour group.
Swim fins used in snorkeling are usually longer than those used in diving. Snorkel
is a tube about thirty centimeters (twelve inches) long, usually J-shaped, fitted with a
mouthpiece, and constructed of rubber pr plastic. It is used for breathing air from
above the water surface when the mouth and nose are submerged, either when
snorkeling or during a surface swim before or after scuba diving. The snorkel usually
has a piece of rubber that attaches the snorkel to the outside of the strap of the diving
mask, as sticking the snorkel in between the strap and the mask could cause the mask
to leak, or risk losing the snorkel should the diver choose to switch to scuba.
Typically, the diving mask alsoserves-to prevent breathing through the nose,
so that one is forced to breathe through the snorkel. This also provides some negative
pressure which helps keep the mask sealed against the face, though attempting to
breathe out through the nose can break this seal and fog the mask.

Did you know that reading can keep your mind active and engaged well into old
age? Several years ago when 1 was working as a newspaper reporter, I interviewed a
woman who was a resident at a local nursing home. She was 100 years old. She read at
least one book per week. She was bright, intelligent and fun to talk with. “I love to
read. It helps me keep up with what is going on in the world,” she said. “A friend of
mine brings me a new book every week. I look forward to her visits and I look forward
to the books. "We talk about the books wo have read.”
Reading has other benefits, as well. For one thing, reading a good story can help
you forget some of the problems in your own life. “I can’t get around much anymore,”
said the 100-year-old woman who lived in the nursing home. “When I go somewhere,
I have to go in a wheelchair now. But when I read7 I can go anywhere, anytime I want.
And no one has to help me!”
Reading also sets a good example for younger generations. From my own
experience as an English teacher, I have observed that the bestreaders are
those students who have parents that enjoy reading. I am not talking about only
reading novels or nonfiction books. Newspapers and magazines are important too. If
you do read yourself, your actions will communicate more to your children and
grandchildren about how much you value reading than anything you could ever say. If
the opportunity presents itself, T urge you to take the time to read to a child, or take
the time to let a child see you reading. Everyone will benefit, the child, you, and our
society.
36. Reading helps to make readers look younger than their age.
37. A friend of the 100-year-old woman living in the local nursing home borrowed
books from a public library.
38. Reading a book means you are travelling to the places which are mentions in the
book.
39. The writer advises us to read books and consider it as a good example to our future
generations.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United
Nations that acts as a coordinating authority on international public health. Established
on 7 April, 1948, and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the agency inherited the
mandate and resources of its predecessor, the Health Organization.
The WHO’s constitution states that its objective is “the attainment by all peoples of

The WHO also sponsors programs to prevent and treat serious epidemics such as
SARS, malaria, and AIDS. The WHO supports the development and distribution of

eradicate polio within the next few years. The organization has already endorsed the
world's first official HIV/AIDS Tool kit for Zimbabwe making it an international
standard. In addition to its work in eradicating disease, the WHO also carries out
various health-related campaigns, for example, to boost the consumption of fruits and
vegetables worldwide and to discourage tobacco use.
Experts met at the WHO headquarters in Geneva in February, 2007, and reported
that their work on pandemic influenza vaccine development had achieved encouraging
progress. More than 40 clinic trials have been completed or are ongoing. Most have

Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in
urban and rural areas. Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields
commonly regarded as the man’s areas such as business, scientific research and social
management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than men.
The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success
UNIT 15 T1
has become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has
been remarkably narrowed and women, enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their
social careers and obtain success contributing to national socio-economic
development. According to Ms. Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender and Development
Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi
National University; gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past
decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from
the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese
women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in
the level of literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for
about 37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and
6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before
with more complete legal documents including laws, conventions and national action
plans, among which the laws on “gender equity" mark a turning- point in the
empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and
honors their great importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated
perceptions about traditional women’s duties. Many projects on reproductive health
care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by
various mass organizations, slate agencies and non-governmental organizations have
created favorable conditions for women to become involved

For approximately the last 100 years women have been fighting for the same rights as
men, especially around the turn from 19th to 20th century with the struggle
for women’s suffrage and in the 1960s with second-wave feminism and radical
feminism, and were able to snake changes to the traditionally accepted feminine
gender role. However, most feminists today say there is still work to be done.
Numerous studies and statistics show that even though the situation for women has
improved during the last century, discrimination is still widespread: women earn a
smaller percentage of income than men, occupy lower-ranking job positions than men
and do most of the housekeeping work. However, there may be some reason for this,
as some studies have indicated that many jobs which are perceived to be male-
dominated usually have longer hours, necessitate long periods of exposure to the
elements, are higher risk and require a fair amount of physical strength.
When feminism became a conspicuous protest movement in the 1960's, critics
often argued that women who wanted to follow a traditional role would be
discriminated against in the future and forced to join the workforce. Many women,
especially single parents are denied this choice due to economic necessity. In theory,
feminism is the belief that a woman should have the' right to make her own decisions.
Those women who choose to pursue careers and higher education are more and more
appreciated.
36. After a long time of struggling, women have got 3-quite equality to men in every

In the 1960s the women's liberation movement (41) … suddenly into the public
consciousness and quickly grew into (42) … largest social movement in the history of
the United States. Women’s liberation movement was a continuation of the 19 th
century women’s rights movement. The movement's major (43) … has included not
only legal, economic, and political gains (44) … also has changed the ways in which

insisted that violence against women become a political issue. The women’s liberation
movement has also made changes in education: curricula and (49)… have been written

UNIT 15 T3
It has been thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the
first. There is not a real equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people
were living in a man-dominated society. Women had to obey their husbands and
fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's work was
housework. Jn many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women
had no rights, even the right to choose husband for themselves. Men usually occupied
high positions in society so they thought they were more intelligent than women. Men
often considered women as their property. Sometimes, they were-mistreated by their
husbands and suffered the problem as a fate. Many parents did not even want to
daughters.
Despite the progress, there remain outdated beliefs about women's roles,
traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Men are commonly seen as
the strong bodies, bread-winners in the family and key leaders in society, while
women are restricted to being housewives and child bearing and care, and housework
such as washing and cooking.
According to social surveys, many women in the 21st century still have to work
over 12 hours a day including working in offices and doing countless household
chores without any help from their husbands. In some regions, the labor of women is
not recognized despite the hardships they endure to support the whole family.
Moreover, women are the direct victims of family violence, especially in rural areas.
Thanks to the women's liberation movement, nowadays women have proved that
they are equal to men in every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an
average man but she may be as intelligent as he is. Women can do everything that men
can, and women can do one thing that no man can: they produce children

40. According to the text, women in the 21st century ...

On 8 August 1967, five leaders -the Foreign Ministers of Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore and Thailand - sat down together in the main hall of the
Department of Foreign Affairs building in Bangkok, Thailand and signed a document.
By virtue of that document, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was
born. The five Foreign Ministers who signed it have been considered as the founders
of probably the most successful intergovernmental organization in the developing
world today. The document that they signed would be known as the ASEAN
UNIT 16
Declaration.
It is a short, simply-worded document containing just five articles. It declares the
establishment of an Association for Regional Cooperation among the Countries of
Southeast Asia to be known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
and spells out the aims and purposes of that Association. These aims and purposes are
about the cooperation in economy, society, culture, techniques, education and other
fields, and in the promotion of regional peace and stability through abiding respect for
justice and the principles of the United Nations Charter. It stipulates that the
Association will be open for participation by all States in the Southeast Asian region
subscribing to its aims, principles and purposes. It proclaims ASEAN as representing
the collective will of the nations of Southeast Asia to bind themselves together in
friendship and cooperation and, through joint efforts and sacrifices, secure for their
peoples and for posterity the blessings of peace, freedom and prosperity. The goal of
ASEAN, then, is to create, not to destroy.
The original ASEAN logo presented five brown sheaves of rice stalks, one. for each
founding member. Beneath the sheaves is the legend “ASEAN” in blue. These are set
on a field of yellow encircled by a blue border. Brown stands for strength and stability,
yellow for prosperity and blue for the spirit of cordiality in which ASEAN affairs are
conducted. When ASEAN celebrated its 30th Anniversary in 1997, the sheaves on the
logo had increased to ten - representing all ten countries of Southeast Asia and
reflecting the colors of the flags of all of them. In a very real sense, ASEAN and
Southeast Asia will be one and the same, just as the founders had envisioned.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), regional alliance of ten
independent countries that promotes stability and economic growth in Southeast Asia.
The organization also encourages cultural exchanges between its members ASEAN
was founded in August 1967 by Malaysia, Thailand, and the republics of Indonesia,
Singapore, and the Philippines. Brunei joined the alliance after attaining independence
from the United Kingdom in 1984. Vietnam was admitted as the first communist
member in 1995. Laos and Myanmar joined ASEAN in 1997, and Cambodia became
part of the alliance in 1999. The ASEAN secretariat, a central office that administers
the organization's activities, is located in Jakarta, Indonesia. Heads of governments of
member countries meet annually; there are also annual meetings of Prime Ministers
UNIT 16
and regular meetings of economic ministers of member countries.
Its principal objectives, outlined in the Bangkok Declaration (1967), were to
accelerate economic growth and promote regional peace and stability. A joint forum
with Japan was established in 1977, and a cooperation agreement with the Euro-, pean
Community (now European Union) was signed in 1980. During the late 1980s and
early 1990s, ASEAN played an important role in mediating the civil war in Cambodia.
In January 1992 ASEAN members agreed to establish a free-trade area and to cut
tariffs on nonagricultural goods over a 15-year period beginning in 1993. However,
different regulations and tariffs among member countries have made that task difficult.
Even so, ASEAN hoped to achieve economic integration by 2015.

A trend in women’s change in attitude to work and home life roles has launched
because more and more women begin to feel the stress and exhaustion when they play
multiple redes.
The image for women of the 1950s was the domesticated housewife and mother
who cooked, cleaned, and sewed. The vogue woman of today is proud while
possessing the role as career woman and mother, wife, and domestic organizer. Yet,
the main thing that has really changed for the modern woman is the fact that her
workload has doubled from the duality of her role. The effects of this duality are being
felt through stress, and unfairness.
A recent study has shown that that 68% of women see a conflict between working
and raising a family. It is no wonder since large amounts of stress stem from a
woman’s professional career in collaboration with her role as housekeeper and mother.
A study in 1997 by the Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology found said,
“Stress appears to be strongly related to being employed, outside the home and is more
strongly felt by women working more hours, especially those working full-time.” The
2001 U.S. Current Population Survey found that many women wish to have fewer
office hours. More and more women want to cut work hours because they find it
difficult to take care of household responsibilities while maintaining a career. The
Female Lifestyle Survey of Great Britain 2004 found that 86% of full time working
women did most of the housework and 77% did most of the child rearing, which has
made them quite exhausted.

One of the most important factors arising from the feminist movement is the
recognition that women should get equal pay for equal work, to see them as
contributors and valued members of society. Today, women are protected by the Sex
Discrimination Act; however, inequality still persists. It also reveals that the changing
role of women in society by means of education as a way to promote themselves to the
level of their expertise is not working as effectively as it should.
In most fields of employment women’s presence is felt and their voice is heard.
Although there has been progress in understanding the value of women's contributions
in many employment fields, there are still huge problems to resolve. Persistence of
gender inequalities show that the proportion of women in top jobs is minimal
compared to the entire women's task force.
Even, in the best qualified jobs women suffer the discrimination of being
underpaid. So, what is the problem? Nowadays many women are qualified for the
career they have trained for, yet it seems that only a small minority finds its way to the
top. Are we back to the old theme of women raising children? Time devoted to them
and the home does not permit a total devotion to a top job. The majority of women
who are successful, either do not have a family or rely heavily on grandmothers. Other
women find part-time more accommodating to their need or choice of life.
36. Thanks to the Sex Discrimination Act, women can get the real equality with men.
37. Education has changed women’s roles quite effectively,
38. Women who have got the best qualified jobs are always paid as much as men are.
39. The value of women’s contributions in many employment fields has been
recognized
40. All women who do full-time work are very successful in their employment
The ongoing changes in society, politics and economy lead to not only the raise
of women’s role in society but (41) … change the prejudice to treat human beings by
sex that had been shaping through decades. From a legal point of (42) … , a man and a
woman are born to be (43) ... However, in practice, there is no real equality for
women’s active participation in social life. Housework, chores and raising children are
generally considered to (44) … to a woman’s domain. (45) … the
fact that birthrates in many countries have been falling, children are obstacles in the
labor force. It is understandable that women decide to (46) … having children
.later or do not have children at all. Women comprise 54 percent of contemporary
society. However, the number of women taking part in the country’s political,
economic and civic life shows that women are restricted in the fields of politics and
government. Women’s salaries are on (47) … lower than men’s,, and women are often
victims of violence and unemployment. According to United Nations Gender
Organization data, 67 percent of those unemployed are women. Women have less (48)
… to retraining programs than men, (49) … for those who are bearing and
rearing children. Women's social status is a serious problem. Few women can be found
in positions of social importance. This strengthens the stereotype of “male superiority"
and hinders the creation of true partnerships between men and women. So, the main
goals are protection of women’s rights, (50) … of discrimination in society, and
widening women’s participation at regional and national levels.

Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually
considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with
young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication -
having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The ©xpEosion in mobile phone-use around the world has made some health
professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may
suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a
serious debate5'about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the
negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are
bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some
people who use'mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head
can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman
had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even
simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on
his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a
couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employers
doctor didn’t agree.
What ft'is that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation.
High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones.
Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is
too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to Xuse
mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a olong time.
Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones

Traditionally in America, helping the poor was^ matter for private charities or local
governments. Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their
homeland to help them start a new life' In the late 19th and early 20tK centuries, several
European nations institutedpublic-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow
to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the
ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was
willing to work could find a job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief
measures, but one of the programs - Social Security - has become an American
institution. Paid for. by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social
Security ensijres. that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also
provides/unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those
who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many
wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher., Recently, there has been
concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its
obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected
to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the
anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the ye^rs since Roosevelt, other American presidents have estatablished
assistanceprograms. These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates
that people can use to purchase food, and public housing which is built at federal
expense and made available to persons on low incomes. if jjeedy Americans can also
turn to sources other than the government for 'help. A broad spectrum of private
charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the
United States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent
of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S.
households contribute money to charity.

Reading to oneself is a modem activity which was almost unknown to'tfte scholars
of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth c^n^ tury the term
“reading* undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did
silent reading become commonplace.
One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply
because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to
the historical development of stfent reading<jiave revealed that it became the usual
mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in
character.
The last century saw a steady gradual, increase in literacy and thus in th*» number
of readers. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners
declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for
the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a
private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where
reading.alqud would cause distraction to other readers.
Towards the end of the century, there w$s still considerable argument over whether
books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the
reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening.
Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its
virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass
media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the
other.
By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt
attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not
impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cuLtural and technological changes in the
century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied. Cau 1: Reading aloud
was more common in the medieval world because .
a. people relied ,on reading for entertainment
b. silent reading had not been discovered
c. there were few places available for private reading
d. few .people could read to themselves
Cau 2: The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means w
a. for everybody’s use b. most preferable

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear rea< tions near
its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed i

its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and is thousands of
times larger than the Earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will
be like. About five billion years from now, the core of the Sim will shrink and become
hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will
increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions/ The outer regions of the Sun will expand
approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest
planet to the Sun. The Sun' will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth
will become too hinh for life to exist.
Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to
shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white , dwarf star. The
Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions
as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf the Sun will have used up all its fuel and
will have lost its heat. Such a staT is called a black dwarf. After tike Sun has become a
black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will
have frozen over the Earth's surface.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express
