In the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous and real, yet fade away in a short
time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year
or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even
years later, they pick up the friendship where they left off and are delighted.
In the United States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays, or enjoy their lives
without fear that they are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you can
not give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy
welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.
Once you arrived there, the welcome will be full, warm, and real. Most visitors ind themselves readily
invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering
what it felt as only home cooked food, not "doing something for your guests." It is felt that restaurant
entertaining shows most respect and welcome. Or for the other reasons, such as crowded space, language
dif iculties, or family customs, outsiders are not invited into homes.
In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to
one's home then go to a public place, except in a pure business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings
you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.
Don't feel neglected if you do not ind lowers awaiting you in your hotel room, either. Flowers are very
expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain; arrival times are delayed, changed or cancelled - so lowers are
not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands;
the inward welcome is what matters. And this will be real.
Câ u 16: In the United States, friendship will _________ if circumstances change.
A. change suddenly B. be destroyed C. disappear gradually D. be broken
Câ u 17: Americans ________ their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality.
A. hope B. hesitate C. never allow D. don't expect
Câ u 18: In the United States, inviting guests to a family dinner is ________ than inviting them to a public place,
except some situations.
A. less inferior B. less hospitable C. more natural D. more popular

A. Flowers are not customarily sent to guests. B. Flowers are used as a sign of welcome.
C. Flowers are beautiful and available at all time. D. Flowers are really expensive.
Câ u 20: According to the passage, __________
A. Americans enjoy welcoming you if their hospitality is accepted.

The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in all other ages of history combined.
World population totalled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650 - 1680. By the year
2000, the population will be about 6.6 billion. Estimates based on research by the United Nations indicate that
it will double in the twenty- ive years between 1975 and the year 2000.
No one knows the limits of the population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English
economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that
because world population tended to increase more rapidly than food supply, we should continuously constrain
available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics and other disasters as in the usual limitations of
world population growth. With recent advances in science and technology, including improved agricultural
methods and great progresses and in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been

26
lessened, with obvious results. International organizations have recommended programmes to encourage
general economic development that target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a lasting solution.
Câ u 1: Which of the options below is the best title for the passage?
A. A Brief History of Population and Over-population B. Limiting Factors in Population Growth
C. The United Nations' Estimate D. Thomas Malthus's Theory
Câ u 2: What is the population from the estimates based on research by the US?
A. Two million B. Five hundred million C. Seven billion D. Over six billion
Câ u 3: Who was Thomas Malthus?
A. A scientist B. An economist
C. A doctor of medicine D. A United Nations' representative
Câ u 4: According to the passage, the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened because of
__________.
A. precaution B. disasters C. improved technology D. scarcity
Câ u 5: What do most experts recommend in order to solve problems of overpopulation?
A. Medical advance and improved agricultural methods.
B. Famine and epidemic.
C. Economic development and a decline in the bith rate.
D. Conservation of available resources

Today I'd like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth. First we'll touch on the
relationship between luorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the
protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it ilters out harmful ultraviolet light from
the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain
chemicals, such as luorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use
luorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from
theses fuorocrabons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however,
new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We'll go into that new study more next
time.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

50 years back in time and even before that, in the absence of the Internet and various hi-tech toys, the
entertainment world used to be so different from what it is nowadays. Running wild on the pastures, and
bathing in the river, children back then saw nature as their playground and were curious to explore and enjoy
it in their own creative ways. They found small objects around them to make toys. Boys used branches as

30
swords for mock battles while girls used them as chopsticks to play imaginary restaurants. In this way, children
enjoyed themselves on the way to school, during school breaks, and even when they were herding buffaloes.
At that time, tug of war, hide and seek, and skipping were popular games. Some have even made it through to
today.
The fact that those popular games which were meant to be played in groups made it easier and faster for
children to make friends. Moreover, people rarely moved away from their hometown, so childhood bonds were
even stronger as children grew up playing together all their life.More than 35,000 staff and volunteers with
the Red Cross Society of China responded to the disaster by distributing food, water, tents and other essential
items. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are providing 100,000 tents to
help those in need.

THE TRAM SYSTEM IN HA NOI: THEN AND NOW
Hanoi had its irst tramways in 1900. The tram system was a major means of transport in the city for
nine decades, and thus the image of the tram and its clanging sounds have gone deep into the hearts and minds
of Hanoians. Since it was convenient and cheap to get around the city and to the suburban areas by tram, the
system was very popular. However, due to the population boom and the need for a wider road system, the last
rail track was removed.
Now, after more than 20 years, the population of Hanoi has risen from about two million people to more
than six million people; therefore, the number of vehicles on the roads has increased dramatically. To meet the
increasing travel demands, Hanoi is launching its irst sky-train system, connecting Cat Linh and Ha Dong. The
system is expected to begin operations by 2016, with initial four-compartment sky-trains. Furthermore, a new
rail system project including around eight kilometers of sky-train rail and four kilometres of subway rail,

31
connecting Hanoi Central Station and Nhon, has also been under construction and is expected to be completed
in a few years.

SON DOONG CAVE
Located in the limestone mountains of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Son Doong Caves was irst found
in 1991 by Ho Khanh, a local man. In 2009, the cave was explored and published by a group of scientists from
British Cave Research Association. Son Doong Cave was formed from 2 to 5 million years ago, when the river
lowed through the limestone mountain area and was buried. The water eroded limestone and created an
underground tunnel. In soft limestone areas, the collapse of tunnel ceiling formed large holes which became
giant domes afterward. The cave is about 200m high, 200m wide and at least 8.5 km long. Especially, Son Doong
consists of two entrances, which is unique among explored caves in Phong Nha ~ Ke Bang National Park.
Exploring the cave, visitors were surprised with spectacular scenery of numerous stalactites of which some
giant stalagmites are more than 70 metres high. Deep inside the cave exists a grandiose tropical jungle called
“Garden of Eden” by the explorers. The jungle is home to diversi ied system of fauna and lora. Besides, the
cave possesses a 2.5-kilometre underground river. Not far from the “Garden of Eden” lies an enormous “pearl
collection” consisting of tens of thousands of small stone pieces in dry ponds, contributing to magni icent
