B. Read the passage, then choose the correct answer – a,  b, c, or d.

ROUTINES

Think about your daily life. Do you follow the same read to work every day? Do you sit in the same place in class? When you get dressed, do you always put the same leg or arm in first? You probably do, because we all have routines in our lives.

Routines save time and energy because you do them without thinking, that's why they are so important in the morning when your brain isn't active. Here's Jo talking about her morning routine.

'Oh yes. I always do exactly the same things. I wake up at seven o'clock every morning, but I don't get up until quarter past seven. I switch on the radio and listen to the news. Then I go to the loo and I brush my teeth. I have a shower and dry my hair. Then I choose my clothes and I get dressed. I don't eat anything for breakfast. I just have a cup of coffee. Then I go to work. Yes, it's always the same.'

Routines are very useful, but they also make you uncreative. So some­times it's a good idea to break your routines. Get out of bed on the opposite side. Listen to a different radio station. Take a different route to work. Eat something different for breakfast. Change your routine. You never know, it could change your life.

Sarah_B: Tell us about pranks you played on friends or family members! 

Dave338: When I was about nine years old, I bought an enormous plastic spider from a joke shop. I couldn't wait to play a prank on my sister with it. One morning, I put it in the shower just before my big sister went into the bathroom. I waited outside the door. I heard a really loud scream and my sister ran out of the bathroom. I thought it was really funny, but she was really cross when she found out, and chased me round the house. I feel bad about it now, it took her ages to get over it because she was so shocked.

Kate44: Last February, I sent my brother a Valentine's card. In the card, I wrote 'Be my Valentine! With love from ???’, and I tried to disguise my handwriting. When he opened it, he looked carefully at the writing, and I thought for a moment he realised it was from me. But there was a girl in his class who he liked, and he thought the card was from her. He seemed really pleased and he decided to ask her out, and now they're going out! Eventually, he found out she didn't send it. He immediately suspected me, so I owned up. He was a bit cross, but he forgave me because of the happy ending.

I think Dave338’s prank is extremely childish and cruel as it took his sister ages to get over the prank. (Mình thấy trò đùa của Dave338 cực kỳ trẻ con và độc ác vì nó khiến chị ấy mất nhiều thời gian để vượt qua trò chơi khăm đó.)

I think Kate44’s quite interesting but she shouldn’t have played that with her brother as it would have been a great disappointment to him if his crush hadn’t go out with him. (Mình thấy trò đùa của Kate44 khá thú vị nhưng đang lý ra cô ấy không nên làm như vậy vì nếu chị gái kia không đi chơi với anh ấy thì đó sẽ là một nỗi thất vọng lớn lao.)

Sarah_B: Hãy kể về một trò chơi khăm mà bạn thực hiện lên bạn bè hoặc thành viên trong gia đình nào!

Dave338: Khi mà tôi chin tuổi, tôi đã mua một con nhện khổng lồ bằng nhựa trong một tiệm giỡn. Tôi không thể đợi để chơi khăm chị mình với nó. Một buổi sáng nọ, tôi đặt con nhện trong vòi sen ngay trước khi chị tôi đi vào nhà tắm. Tôi đứng đợi ở ngoài cửa. Tôi đã nghe một tiếng hét rất lớn và chị tôi đã chạy ra khỏi vòng tắm. Tôi đã nghỉ nó rất vui, những chị tôi đã phát cáu khi biết chuyện, và đuổi theo tôi quanh nhà. Bây giờ tôi cảm thấy mình tệ vì chuyện đó. Cũng mất khá lâu để chị tôi có thể vượt qua nó vì chị ấy quá đỗi bàng hoàng.

Kate44: Tháng Hai năm ngoái, mình đã gửi anh trai mình một tấm thiệp ngày Lễ tình nhân. Trong tấm thiếp, mình viết “Hãy là tình nhân của mình nhé! Từ ??? với yêu thương”, và mình cố gắng làm rối nét chữ của mình. Nhưng có một chị ở lớp mà anh ấy rất thích, và anh ấy đã nghỉ tấm thiệp là từ chị ấy. Anh ấy dường như rất vui vẻ và anh đã quyết định rủ cô ấy đi chơi, và bây giờ họ đang đi chơi rồi! Sau cùng, anh ấy cũng biết là chị ấy không gửi tấm thiệp đó. Anh ấy lập tức nghi ngờ mình, nên mình thú nhận mình đã làm. Anh ấy đã có chút cáu giận nhưng anh ấy cũng tha thứ cho mình vì cái kết có hậu.

II. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western, industrialized societies, the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists of a father, a mother and their children. But nuclear families exist together with many other types of family units. In the single-parent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the family alone. A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed parent remarries. As divorce rates have risen, the number of single-parent and blended families has increased.

In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members under the same roof. These complex families usually contain several generations of family members, including grandparents, parents and children. They may also include brothers or sisters and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins. Even when relatives do not live together, they still consider themselves members of the same extended family includes grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins.

III. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

The American family unit is in the process of change. In the first half of the 20th century, there were mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear. An extended family includes mother, father, children and some other relatives, living in the same house. A nuclear family is composed of just parents and children livingunder the same roof.

As the American economy had progressed from agricultural to industrial one, people were forced to move to different parts of the country to get good jobs. These jobs were mainly in the large cities. Now, in fact, three-quarters of Americans live in urban areas which occupy 2.5% of the national total land mass. Of the 118 million in the labour force, only 3 million still work on the farm.

Since moving for better jobs has often divided the extended family, the nuclear family became more popular. At present, 55% of the families in the US are nuclear families. But besides the two types of traditional family groupings, the family is now being expanded to include a variety of other living arrangements because of divorce. There is an increase in single-parent families, in which a father or mother lives with one or more children. Divorce has also led to blended families, which occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriage into a new family. There are also some couples who do not want to have children to form two-person childless families.

IV. Read the passage carefully, and do the tasks that follow.

The Role of the Japanese Mother

The focus of the mother is her home and family, with particular attention to the rearing of children. While most Japanese believe that a woman's place is in the home, women make up almost 40 percent of the labor force. More than half of these women are married. Many mothers with small children work only part-time so they can be home when their children are not in school. The extra income earned by the mother is often used to meet the cost of their children's education.

Japanese mothers take the responsibility of their child's education and upbringing very seriously. They seldom confront their preschool children because they want to foster an intimate, dependent relationship. The purpose of this approach is to get the child to obey willingly with the mother’s wishes and to shape the child's behavior over a long period of time. The close nature of the mother-child relationship and the strong parentalcommitment help to provide a strong foundation for the child's entry into elementary school.

Mothers are involved directly in with the child's school. Each day a notebook is sent back and forth between mother and teacher remarking on the child's mood, behavior, health, and activities both in school and at home. Mothers attend PTA meetings usually twice a month and are involved with school committee's working on special projects such as gardening and hot lunch preparation. School is a very stressful and competitive process so the Japanese mother concentrates all her efforts on getting her children through so they can get accepted into the appropriate universities.
