A gold rush is the rapid relocation of large numbers of people to an area where gold has been discovered. Gold rushes capture the imagination and participation of many people because of the magical lure of gold and the potential for overnight affluence. The greatest gold rush in United States history was the California Gold Rush of 1849.
The rush first began in 1848 when a carpenter named James Marshall discovered gold on the property of John A. Stutter in the Sacramento Valley. Hired to build a sawmill on the banks of the American River, Marshall had hardly begun work when he started finding nugget after nugget of gold. News of the discovery at Stutter’s mill spread quickly, and soon thousands of persons were laying claims in the area. These people, called “forty-niners”, rushed in from all over the world. In just two years, the population of California increased from about 26,000 to 380,000. Consequently, Califorlia was officially admitted to the union as a state, in September of 1850. The free-spending style of the successful miners helped to turn communities such as Sacramento and San Francisco into prosperous towns. Those who were not so lucky became farmers and ranchers in the Central Valley of California.

Những cuộc tìm kiếm vàng đòi hỏi trí tưởng tượng và sự tham gia của nhiều người bởi vì ma lực lôi cuốn của vàng và tiềm năng mang lại sự sung túc của nó. Cuộc săn vàng lớn nhất trong lịch sử nước Mỹ là cuộc săn vàng ở California vào năm 1849.
Cuộc tìm kiếm đầu tiên bắt đầu vào năm 1848 khi một thợ mộc có tên James Marshall khám phá ra vàng trên thuộc tính của John A.Stutter trên thung lũng Sacramento. Thuê xây dựng một nhà máy cưa dọc theo bờ sông Mỹ, Marshall gặp phải một số khó khăn khi ông ta bắt đầu công việc tìm kiếm những quặng vàng đầu tiên của vàng. Tin tức khám phá của Stutter nhanh chóng được làm truyền, và chẳng bao lâu đã có hàng nghìn người đặt quyền khai thác của mình ở trong vùng. Những người này, gọi là những người Mỹ kiếm vàng năm 1849, họ đến từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Trong khoảng 2 năm, dân cư của California tăng từ 26.000 đến 380.000. Vì vậy, California được chính thức thừa nhận như một bang, vào tháng chín năm 1850. Kiểu buôn bán tự do của những thợ mỏ đã giúp cho những thành phố như là Sacramento và San Francisco trở nên thịnh vượng. Đó là những người không phải may nắm trở thành nông dân và chủ trang trại ở trung tâm thung lũng của Caliornia.

Describe your first day at school as a child
(Mô tả ngày đầu tiên đến trường của các bạn khi các bạn còn nhỏ)
That morning my mother woke me up earlier than usual. She urged me to get dressed and take breakfast quickly then tenderly took me to school. On the way to school I met other children of my age accompanied by their parents to school.
The nearer I came to the school gate, the more nervous I became. Suddenly a strange feeling of fear and worry seized my heart when I saw the majestic elementary school in front of me and I felt like crying when my mother said good bye to me and put some coins into my pocket. Never before had I been forced to separate from my beloved mother! But when I saw old pupils laughing and talking merrily I regainned my composure.
After the droll of a drum, we were instructed to stand in line to salute the colours and then go into our classses. A young and mild-looking teacher greeted us at the door. And in a gentle voice, he taught us the first lesson that we never forget!

I get a lot of letters at this time of year from people complaining that they have a cold which won’t go away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold.

They are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course you can buy lots of medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster. Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be dangerous. It you are already taking drugs whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy-please don’t try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding colds is concerned, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy-you’ll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn’t be so bad.

Your favourite hobby (Sở thích của bạn)
My hobby is reading books. I inherited a valuable collection of books from my deceased father and up till now my cultural treasures have been preserved carefully.
Reading books broadens my mind improves my knowledge. They help me distinguish the bad from the good and prevent me from doing wrong.
Reading books brings me minutes of happiness and pleasures. I have found a source of consolation and encouragement in books when I am in despair. They’re my true companions indeed. How relieved and comforted I feel when I can find in good books good teachers and friends!
Instead of indulging myself in futile entertainments, I often absorbed in reading interesting books which always have miracles to soothe my sorrows ans hardships and reveal to me strange and new horizons.

II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word “dinosaurs” comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizards”, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually not larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth’s climate. It is believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.

Dear Editor,
I went to Newzealand on a student programme last year and I’d like to (1) tell you about it. It was very (2) excited when I knew I was going to Newzealand because I had never been there before. I didn’t think about the problems of speaking English (3) until I met my host family. At first I couldn’t communicate with them because my English was so bad. All the eight years I (4) had been learning wasn’t much use at all, (5) because we didn’t have real practice at school. Even though my grammar was good, my pronunciation wasn’t. My problem is pronouncing “I” and “r”. For example, Newzealand people often asked “What do you eat in Thailand?” I wanted to tell them that we eat rice, but they didn’t understand when I said “We eat lice”. My host mum helped me a lot by (6) correcting my bad pronunciation. I usually practiced by talking to myself when I had a shower, so no one could hear me. After four months my English was (7) much better. Apart (8) from English I learn to make my own breakfast and lunch. I had to ride a bicycle to school everyday. I went swimming and tried water-skiing and sailing, (9) which was wonderful. But the most valuable thing was that I learn to be (10) by myself and to be independent.

When you are (1) invited to a meal in Thailand, the words of the invitation literally (2) mean come and eat rice. Indeed, nearly all Thai (3) dishes are eaten with rice, (4) which grows there very easily (5) as the climate is warm and there is (6) plenty of rain.
The food is always (7) served in neatly cut pieces, so there is no (8) need to knives and forks but, instead, (9) special spoons and forks are used. The Thais used to eat with their (10) hands and there are still some people who eat this way. There is a particular way of doing it. First they wash their right hand in a bowl of (11) water they only eat with their right hand. They are careful not to let the food (12) tough the palm of their hand. After the meal, the hand is again carefully washed.
The meal is usually made up (13) of several different dishes, all of which are spicy. They are served in bowls which everyone shares, (14) though each person has their own bowl of rice. As Thailand has a long coastline, it is not surprising that fish and shellfish (15) play an important part in Thai cooking.

COMPOSITION
Which season of the year do you like best? Why ?
(Mùa nào trong năm làm bạn thấy thích nhất? Tại sao?)
I was born in Northern VietNam, where are four clear seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each season has its own charms and attractions. For example, Spring is the season which offers beautiful flowers and warm weather; Summer is the season of nice holidays when we can enjoy lots of outdoor activities such as picnicking, camping, swimming, fishing etc… Autumn is so beautiful with its ideal weather while Winter can give us such delight as gathering by a fire to chat or tell each other funny stories. As far as I am concerned, I like Autumn best because of the following reasons:
During Autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the time. The Autumnal sun is often splendid, dying nature yellow. The weather is also ideal because it is not too cold nor too hot. Then the coldish northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone with the breath of Autumn. The leaves of the trees turning yellow or red put a gorgeous coat of colours on nature. Autumn is such a wonderful season that many poems and songs have been composed to sing the praises of the season. Autumn is also a season which reminds me of my first day at school, when my mother took me by the hand and led me to school for the first time.
Last but not least, Autumn is the time when I can enjoy my favourite fruit and dish which are the Japanese persimmons and the green rice flakes. These are found only in Autumn.

II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s King, he says in English, “Check”; when the King has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “Check mate”. These words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means” the king is dead”, that is when the game is over and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The ruler have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.
1. Which of the following is known to be true?
a. Chess is an old Indian travelling game
b. Chess is the oldest game in the world
c. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400
d. Chess was played in India long before 900
2. One player has won the game when the other player’s King can not move anywhere.
a. he attacks the other player’s King
b. he says some Persian words
c. the other player’s King can not move anywhere
d. he says “check” to the r other player
3. According to the old rules of the game the queen could move no more than one square at a time.
a. the queen was the attacked all the time
b. the King had to attacked all the time
c. the queen could move no more than one square at a time
d. the king could not move anywhere
4. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?

(11) Although the clock is so big, it is very exact, it is seldom more than one second (12) wrong in 1924 hours. English scientists use an original method to correct (13) mistake in the clock. There is a small tray in the middle of the pendulum.If the clock is running slow, they put a penny coin in the tray, and the clock begins to run (14) faster If the clock begins to run fast, they take (15) away the penny. The little coin is enough to make the giant clock run a second faster or slower every day.

COMPOSITION
Smoking damages our health
(Smoking is harmful to our health)
(Việc hút thuốc có hại đến sức khoẻ của chúng ta)
Over the last thirty years, thanks to the efforts of various branches of science and technology, research has proved that smoking damages health and shortens man’s life-span.
According to a diagram released by the World’s Health Organization (WHO), the number of people who die of diseases connected to smoking is increasing more and more. The more science and technology learn, the more damage caused by smoking is discovered. Therefore, it seems that we can never put a final stop to the list of harm caused by smoking.
First of all, smoking brings about the decline of our memory because each cigarette we smoke destroys 15,000 cerebral cells.
Smoking is considered the number one cause of cardio-vascular trouble, pneumonia, lung cancer etc … The main offending agents are carbon monoxide and nicotine in the smoke. These cancer – causing agents are also the ones which cause pharyngeal cancer. The toxic effects of smoke make the smoker’s voice hoarse. Additionally, the visible effect is that the tobacco or opium tar sticks to the teeth, and causes them to become dark or dirty-yellow, diminishing our good looks and charm.
In conclusion, I would like to quote our well-known scholar “Le Quy Don” as saying some hundred years ago that smoking was like taking a toxic drug, the smoke of which wasted our health and diminished our life-span; yet, few people heeded his sage advice.

II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. “In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant.” It was in the United States, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune introducing his invention. The formers, howerer, were not interested in it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
a. The need for agricultural advances to help feed a growing population.
b. The development of safer machines demanded by the labor movement.
c. Machinery that contributed to the agricultural revolution.

2. The expression “make the most of” in line 5 is closest in meaning to get the best yield from.
a. get the best yield from.
b. raise the price of.
c. exaggerate the worth of.
d. earn a living on.
3. Which of the following can be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson said (lines 4-6)?
a. Europe was changing more quickly than the United States.
b. Europe had greater need of farm machinery than the United States did.
c. The United States was finally running out of good farmland.
d. There was a shortage of workers on United States farms.
4. What point is the author making by stating that farmers could carry nearly all their tools on their backs?
a. Farmers had few tools before agricultural revolution.
b. People in the United States were traditionally self-reliant.

When the dealer (9) delivers the car, you have to pay the balance or get a loan. Most people make a down payment and take out a loan for the rest.

IV. Fill in each gap in the passage below with one suitable word. Write the words in the spaces on your answer sheet.
Most people think that the older you (1) get, the (2) harder it is to learn a new language. That is, they believe that Children learn (3) more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our liver, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the (4) ability to learn language well. Is this idea fact or myth?
Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? On the (5) contrary, research studies suggest that the opposite may be true. One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, (6) concluded that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed a direct improvement of (7) ability over the (8) age range tested, that is, the ability to learn increased as the age (9) increased, from childhood to adulthood.
There are several possible (10) explanations for these (11) findings For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adult can use (12) logical thingking to help themselves see pattern in the language. Finally, adults have more self-discipline than children.
All in all, it seems that the (13) cammon idea that children are better language (14) learners than adults may not be facts, (15) but myth.

She is a very reliable, mature girl with a great sense of humour. She is very “down-to-earth” and is often shy. She has been with me in both good and bad times to either rejoice over something with me or to comfort me. She has a strong personality with crystal clear view of “right and wrong”. She’s an honest, a loyal and a warm humanitarian. Some people wonder how we can become such good friends because she is so quiet and I’m very energetic and outgoing. I think (that) the idiom “opposites attract” is the answer.

A gold rush is the rapid relocation of large numbers of people to an area where gold has been discovered. Gold rushes capture the imagination and participation of many people because of the magical lure of gold and the potential for overnight affluence. The greatest gold rush in United States history was the California Gold Rush of 1849.
The rush first began in 1848 when a carpenter named James Marshall discovered gold on the property of John A. Stutter in the Sacramento Valley. Hired to build a sawmill on the banks of the American River, Marshall had hardly begun work when he started finding nugget after nugget of gold. News of the discovery at Stutter’s mill spread quickly, and soon thousands of persons were laying claims in the area. These people, called “forty-niners”, rushed in from all over the world. In just two years, the population of California increased from about 26,000 to 380,000. Consequently, Califorlia was officially admitted to the union as a state, in September of 1850. The free-spending style of the successful miners helped to turn communities such as Sacramento and San Francisco into prosperous towns. Those who were not so lucky became farmers and ranchers in the Central Valley of California.

Cuộc săn vàng lớn nhất trong lịch sử nước Mỹ là cuộc săn vàng ở California vào năm 1849.
Cuộc tìm kiếm đầu tiên bắt đầu vào năm 1848 khi một thợ mộc có tên James Marshall khám phá ra vàng trên thuộc tính của John A.Stutter trên thung lũng Sacramento. Thuê xây dựng một nhà máy cưa dọc theo bờ sông Mỹ, Marshall gặp phải một số khó khăn khi ông ta bắt đầu công việc tìm kiếm những quặng vàng đầu tiên của vàng. Tin tức khám phá của Stutter nhanh chóng được làm truyền, và chẳng bao lâu đã có hàng nghìn người đặt quyền khai thác của mình ở trong vùng. Những người này, gọi là những người Mỹ kiếm vàng năm 1849, họ đến từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Trong khoảng 2 năm, dân cư của California tăng từ 26.000 đến 380.000. Vì vậy, California được chính thức thừa nhận như một bang, vào tháng chín năm 1850. Kiểu buôn bán tự do của những thợ mỏ đã giúp cho những thành phố như là Sacramento và San Francisco trở nên thịnh vượng. Đó là những người không phải may nắm trở thành nông dân và chủ trang trại ở trung tâm thung lũng của Caliornia.

Describe your first day at school as a child
(Mô tả ngày đầu tiên đến trường của các bạn khi các bạn còn nhỏ)
That morning my mother woke me up earlier than usual. She urged me to get dressed and take breakfast quickly then tenderly took me to school. On the way to school I met other children of my age accompanied by their parents to school.
The nearer I came to the school gate, the more nervous I became. Suddenly a strange feeling of fear and worry seized my heart when I saw the majestic elementary school in front of me and I felt like crying when my mother said good bye to me and put some coins into my pocket. Never before had I been forced to separate from my beloved mother! But when I saw old pupils laughing and talking merrily I regainned my composure.
After the droll of a drum, we were instructed to stand in line to salute the colours and then go into our classses. A young and mild-looking teacher greeted us at the door. And in a gentle voice, he taught us the first lesson that we never forget!

I get a lot of letters at this time of year from people complaining that they have a cold which won’t go away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold. It’s often difficult to know what to do. Although colds are rarely dangerous, except for people who are already weak, such as the alderly or young babies. They are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course you can buy lots of medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster. Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be dangerous. It you are already taking drugs whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy-please don’t try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding colds is concerned, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy-you’ll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn’t be so bad.

Your favourite hobby (Sở thích của bạn)
My hobby is reading books. I inherited a valuable collection of books from my deceased father and up till now my cultural treasures have been preserved carefully.
Reading books broadens my mind improves my knowledge. They help me distinguish the bad from the good and prevent me from doing wrong.
Reading books brings me minutes of happiness and pleasures. I have found a source of consolation and encouragement in books when I am in despair. They’re my true companions indeed. How relieved and comforted I feel when I can find in good books good teachers and friends!
Instead of indulging myself in futile entertainments, I often absorbed in reading interesting books which always have miracles to soothe my sorrows ans hardships and reveal to me strange and new horizons.

II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age of Reptiles. The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago. For many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength. Then about 65 million years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge.
The word “dinosaurs” comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizards”, but their appearance could be truly terrifying. The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern day whales. The famous kinds of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length. Not all dinosaurs were giants, however; some were actually not larger than a chicken.
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaurs to disappear. One theory involves a change in the earth’s climate. It is believed that temperatures dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous Period. Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate became too chilly for dinosaurs. In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and birds, were able to survive.

III. Read the article below and put a cross on the letter next to the word that best fits each space.
Dear Editor,
I went to Newzealand on a student programme last year and I’d like to (1) tell you about it. It was very (2) excited when I knew I was going to Newzealand because I had never been there before. I didn’t think about the problems of speaking English (3) until I met my host family. At first I couldn’t communicate with them because my English was so bad. All the eight years I (4) had been learning wasn’t much use at all, (5) because we didn’t have real practice at school. Even though my grammar was good, my pronunciation wasn’t. My problem is pronouncing “I” and “r”. For example, Newzealand people often asked “What do you eat in Thailand?” I wanted to tell them that we eat rice, but they didn’t understand when I said “We eat lice”. My host mum helped me a lot by (6) correcting my bad pronunciation. I usually practiced by talking to myself when I had a shower, so no one could hear me. After four months my English was (7) much better. Apart (8) from English I learn to make my own breakfast and lunch. I had to ride a bicycle to school everyday. I went swimming and tried water-skiing and sailing, (9) which was wonderful. But the most valuable thing was that I learn to be (10) by myself and to be independent.

When you are (1) invited to a meal in Thailand, the words of the invitation literally (2) mean come and eat rice. Indeed, nearly all Thai (3) dishes are eaten with rice, (4) which grows there very easily (5) as the climate is warm and there is (6) plenty of rain.
The food is always (7) served in neatly cut pieces, so there is no (8) need to knives and forks but, instead, (9) special spoons and forks are used. The Thais used to eat with their (10) hands and there are still some people who eat this way. There is a particular way of doing it. First they wash their right hand in a bowl of (11) water they only eat with their right hand. They are careful not to let the food (12) tough the palm of their hand. After the meal, the hand is again carefully washed.
The meal is usually made up (13) of several different dishes, all of which are spicy. They are served in bowls which everyone shares, (14) though each person has their own bowl of rice.

COMPOSITION
Which season of the year do you like best? Why ?
(Mùa nào trong năm làm bạn thấy thích nhất? Tại sao?)
I was born in Northern VietNam, where are four clear seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each season has its own charms and attractions. For example, Spring is the season which offers beautiful flowers and warm weather; Summer is the season of nice holidays when we can enjoy lots of outdoor activities such as picnicking, camping, swimming, fishing etc… Autumn is so beautiful with its ideal weather while Winter can give us such delight as gathering by a fire to chat or tell each other funny stories. As far as I am concerned, I like Autumn best because of the following reasons:
During Autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the time. The Autumnal sun is often splendid, dying nature yellow. The weather is also ideal because it is not too cold nor too hot. Then the coldish northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone with the breath of Autumn. The leaves of the trees turning yellow or red put a gorgeous coat of colours on nature. Autumn is such a wonderful season that many poems and songs have been composed to sing the praises of the season. Autumn is also a season which reminds me of my first day at school, when my mother took me by the hand and led me to school for the first time.
Last but not least, Autumn is the time when I can enjoy my favourite fruit and dish which are the Japanese persimmons and the green rice flakes. These are found only in Autumn.

II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s King, he says in English, “Check”; when the King has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “Check mate”. These words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means” the king is dead”, that is when the game is over and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The ruler have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.
1. Which of the following is known to be true?
a. Chess is an old Indian travelling game
b. Chess is the oldest game in the world
c. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400
d. Chess was played in India long before 900
2. One player has won the game when the other player’s King can not move anywhere.
a. he attacks the other player’s King
b. he says some Persian words
c. the other player’s King can not move anywhere
d. he says “check” to the r other player
3. According to the old rules of the game the queen could move no more than one square at a time.
a. the queen was the attacked all the time
b. the King had to attacked all the time
c. the queen could move no more than one square at a time
d. the king could not move anywhere
4. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?

(11) Although the clock is so big, it is very exact, it is seldom more than one second (12) wrong in 1924 hours. English scientists use an original method to correct (13) mistake in the clock. There is a small tray in the middle of the pendulum.If the clock is running slow, they put a penny coin in the tray, and the clock begins to run (14) faster If the clock begins to run fast, they take (15) away the penny. The little coin is enough to make the giant clock run a second faster or slower every day.

COMPOSITION
Smoking damages our health
(Smoking is harmful to our health)
(Việc hút thuốc có hại đến sức khoẻ của chúng ta)
Over the last thirty years, thanks to the efforts of various branches of science and technology, research has proved that smoking damages health and shortens man’s life-span.
According to a diagram released by the World’s Health Organization (WHO), the number of people who die of diseases connected to smoking is increasing more and more. The more science and technology learn, the more damage caused by smoking is discovered. Therefore, it seems that we can never put a final stop to the list of harm caused by smoking.
First of all, smoking brings about the decline of our memory because each cigarette we smoke destroys 15,000 cerebral cells.
Smoking is considered the number one cause of cardio-vascular trouble, pneumonia, lung cancer etc … The main offending agents are carbon monoxide and nicotine in the smoke. These cancer – causing agents are also the ones which cause pharyngeal cancer. The toxic effects of smoke make the smoker’s voice hoarse. Additionally, the visible effect is that the tobacco or opium tar sticks to the teeth, and causes them to become dark or dirty-yellow, diminishing our good looks and charm.
In conclusion, I would like to quote our well-known scholar “Le Quy Don” as saying some hundred years ago that smoking was like taking a toxic drug, the smoke of which wasted our health and diminished our life-span; yet, few people heeded his sage advice.

II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. “In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant.” It was in the United States, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune introducing his invention. The formers, howerer, were not interested in it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel plow.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
a. The need for agricultural advances to help feed a growing population.

c. Machinery that contributed to the agricultural revolution.

2. The expression “make the most of” in line 5 is closest in meaning to get the best yield from.
a. get the best yield from.
b. raise the price of.
c. exaggerate the worth of.
d. earn a living on.
3. Which of the following can be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson said (lines 4-6)?
a. Europe was changing more quickly than the United States.
b. Europe had greater need of farm machinery than the United States did.
c. The United States was finally running out of good farmland.
d. There was a shortage of workers on United States farms.
4. What point is the author making by stating that farmers could carry nearly all their tools on their backs?
a. Farmers had few tools before agricultural revolution.
b. People in the United States were traditionally self-reliant.

When the dealer (9) delivers the car, you have to pay the balance or get a loan. Most people make a down payment and take out a loan for the rest.

IV. Fill in each gap in the passage below with one suitable word. Write the words in the spaces on your answer sheet.
Most people think that the older you (1) get, the (2) harder it is to learn a new language. That is, they believe that Children learn (3) more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our liver, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the (4) ability to learn language well. Is this idea fact or myth?
Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? On the (5) contrary, research studies suggest that the opposite may be true. One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, (6) concluded that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed a direct improvement of (7) ability over the (8) age range tested, that is, the ability to learn increased as the age (9) increased, from childhood to adulthood.
There are several possible (10) explanations for these (11) findings For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adult can use (12) logical thingking to help themselves see pattern in the language. Finally, adults have more self-discipline than children.
All in all, it seems that the (13) cammon idea that children are better language (14) learners than adults may not be facts, (15) but myth.

COMPOSITION
Describe your best friend and tell why you like him/her
(Mô tả một người bạn tốt nhất của bạn và nói tại sao bạn thích cô/cậu ấy)
Of all my friends, Thanh Lan is my best friend since we enjoy each other’s company so much that we’ll miss each other greatly if we don’t meet at least once a week. Thanh Lan is twenty-two years old but everyone thinks she looks much younger. She’s not so pretty but she’s charming. She has a fair complexion that makes her look very healthy, here eyes are clear and expressive.
She is a very reliable, mature girl with a great sense of humour. She is very “down-to-earth” and is often shy. She has been with me in both good and bad times to either rejoice over something with me or to comfort me. She has a strong personality with crystal clear view of “right and wrong”. She’s an honest, a loyal and a warm humanitarian. Some people wonder how we can become such good friends because she is so quiet and I’m very energetic and outgoing. I think (that) the idiom “opposites attract” is the answer.

Tổ chức bộ máy nhà nước
Các chức năng nhiệm vụ của nhà nước được thực hiện thông qua hệ thống tổ chức bộ máy nhà nước, bao gồm những cơ quan nhà nước có tính chất, vị trí, chức năng, nhiệm vụ quyền hạn và cơ cấu tổ chức khác nhau, có quan hệ mật thiết với nhau tạo thành một thể toàn vẹn, thực hiện chức năng, nhiệm vục chung của nhà nước nhằm đạt được các mục tiêu thống nhất đã được xác định. Bộ máy nhà nước được tổ chức và hoạt động theo những nguyên tắc chung theo quy định của pháp luật
Bộ máy nhà nước thực hiện 3 loại chức năng lớn: Làm luật, thi hành luật, xét xử độc lập và tuân theo luật. ba loại chức năng đó hình thành ra 3 ngành quyền lập pháp, hành pháp và tư pháp.
Cơ quan nhà nước
Cơ quan nhà nước là một bộ phận chủ yếu cấu thành của bộ máy nhà nước. đó là một tổ chức nhà nước có tính độc lập tương đối, có thẩm quyền và được thành lập theo quy định của pháp luật, nhân danh nhà nước, thể hiện ý chí nhà nước thực hiện nhiệm vụ và chức năng nhà nước bằng những phương pháp và hình thức đặc thù.

Tính quyền lực nhà nước thể hiện ở chỗ mọi cơ quan nhà nước đều có thẩm quyền pháp lý được pháp luật quy định chặt chẽ, được quyền ban hành quyết định thể hiện ý chí nhà nước trong phạm vi thẩm quyền có thể là các văn bản quy phạm pháp luật, theo sự phân cấp trách nhiệm đã được quy định theo pháp luật hoặc có quyền ban hành các quyết định hành chính cá biệt, cụ thể, có hiệu lực thi hành đối với các đối tượng cụ thể hoặc thực hiện các hành vi hành chính trong các trường hợp nhất định.
Các cơ quan nhà nước được thành lập và hoạt động trên cơ sở các văn bản luật và các văn bản dưới luật khác.
