Chocolate

We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it’s an ingredient in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.

Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say “Ugh!” and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.

The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.

In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.

Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.

Sô cô la

Bây giờ chúng ta nghĩ đến chocolate là ngọt, nhưng một khi nó đã cay đắng. Chúng tôi nghĩ về nó như một kẹo, nhưng một khi nó là một loại thuốc. Ngày nay, sô cô la có thể là đồ uống nóng, một món tráng miệng đông lạnh, hoặc chỉ là một bữa ăn nhẹ. Đôi khi nó là một thành phần trong bữa ăn chính. Người Mê-hi-cô nấu sốt nóng sốt sô-cô-la và gọi nó là gà. Người Mexicans cũng ăn sôcôla với gia vị như ớt.

Sôcôla là sản phẩm của cây ca cao nhiệt đới. Các hạt cà phê hương vị rất cay đắng rằng ngay cả những con khỉ nói "Ugh" và chạy đi. Người lao động phải khô trước và sau đó rang hạt cà phê. Điều này sẽ loại bỏ được vị đắng.

Từ "sô cô la" có nguồn gốc từ tiếng Maya. Người Maya là những người cổ xưa từng sống ở Mexico. Họ đánh giá cây ca cao. Một số sử dụng đậu để lấy tiền, trong khi những người khác nghiền nát họ để uống.

Khi người Tây Ban Nha đến Mexico vào thế kỷ thứ mười sáu, họ cũng bắt đầu uống cacao. Bởi vì thức uống rất mạnh và cay đắng, họ nghĩ đó là một loại thuốc. Không ai có ý tưởng thêm đường. Người Tây Ban Nha lấy một ít đậu trở lại châu Âu và mở quán cà phê. Những người giàu có đã uống cacao và nói nó rất tốt cho việc tiêu hóa.

Vào những năm 1800, chủ một nhà máy sôcôla ở Anh đã phát hiện ra rằng đường đã loại bỏ được vị đắng của cacao. Nó nhanh chóng trở thành loại đồ uống rẻ tiền và phổ biến. Ngay sau đó, một nhà máy đã tạo ra khối rắn chắc đầu tiên của sôcôla ngọt. Sau đó, một nhà máy trộn sữa và sô cô la với nhau. Người ta thích hương vị của sôcôla sữa tốt hơn.

Bên cạnh thanh kẹo sôcôla, một trong những món ăn nhẹ phổ biến nhất của người Mỹ là bánh cookie sô cô la. Các món tráng miệng yêu thích là bánh kem sô cô la và, tất nhiên, kem kem với sốt nóng hổi

II/ Read the passage. Then write True or False for each of the sentences below. (1.5pt)

In the UK we each use about two hundred steel food and drink cans every year. Steel cans are popular because they are convenient, easy to store and unbreakable. But when you have finished with a can what do you do with it? Do you throw it away and forget all about it? Probably! But behind the scenes there are people whose work is to make sure that the steel is never wasted. In fact, recycling or re-using steel cans is so successful that every day of the year more than five million cans start new lives in new steel products.

After you have thrown away your can, what happens? Well, first of all it is collected by the men who empty your dustbin each week and take to a tip, together with all the other household rubbish. Then the rubbish is sorted and the steel cans are taken separately to a special factory which turns old cans into high quality steel. It’s this steel that may well find its way back into your home in the form of knives and folks, garden equipment and, of course, food and drink cans.

So next time you open your fizzy drink, just remember where your can may have been!

23. In the UK people use about two hundred steel food and drinks cans yearly.________

24. Every year there are more than five million cans starting new lives in new steel products_________

III. You are going to read an article about a national vote for people’s favourite tree. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (16). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

TREE OF THE YEAR

The aim of the national Tree of the Year competition is to promote and celebrate the most interesting trees around the country. Images and descriptions of a shortlist of 28 trees are put online and the public are asked to vote for their favourite.

The four trees that gain the most votes before 5 p.m. on 5th October will be given a grant of £1,000. In addition, all trees that receive 1,000 or more votes will get a grant of £500. The grants may be spent on a tree health check or advice from a tree expert, or an educational event, for example. (82) ………………. Among the 28 shortlisted trees there are a wide range of tree species, each with its own unique, fascinating story. For example, the ‘Ding Dong’ tree is a copper beech tree growing in a primary school playground. It was named the ‘Ding Dong’ tree because of a game pupils invented in which they race to touch its trunk, shouting ‘Ding Dong!’ The protective space underneath the 50-year-old tree is used as a magical outdoor classroom, while the indoor classroom displays pictures of the tree through each season of the year. (83) ……………….

Many of the other trees in the competition are remarkable for their age alone. The Craigends Yew, for example, is thought to be up to 700 years old, making it one of the oldest in Scotland. It is an amazing sight as many of its branches have layered. (84) ………………. As a result of these extra growths, the total size when measured around the tree’s crown (the main body of its leaves and branches) is a massive 100 metres.

Another very old tree, the Holm Oak in Kilbroney Park, Northern Ireland, is much loved by local people. It measures 3.6 metres around the trunk, and its beautiful bark looks like the skin of a snake. (85) ………………. The advantage of this lack of uprightness is that young children can climb safely and easily on it. Kilbroney Park is home to many remarkable trees, but this tree was chosen as the favourite by community members.

A 500-year-old veteran oak tree stands in the ancient woodland pasture at Carngafallt in Wales. One of the interesting things about this twisted, hollow tree is that it has several ‘air trees’ growing out of it. An ‘air tree’ is one growing without its roots touching the ground. (86) ………………. It extends its roots down inside the oak’s hollow trunk.

The original Bramley apple tree in Nottinghamshire is younger than many in this competition, but is the famous parent of all modern Bramley apple trees. (87) ………………. Many years later, Matthew Bramley, the new owner of the tree, was carrying some of his fruit when he met a gardener called Henry Merryweather. Henry asked if he could take some cuttings from Matthew's trees to grow his own trees. Mr Bramley agreed, provided they were named ‘Bramley's Seedling’.


A. This means that they are touching the ground and have taken root.

B. These roots have become enormous with age and have now emerged above the ground. Children love to jump over them like horses in a race.

C. But the most distinctive thing about this tree is that its main trunk is leaning towards the ground at an angle of 45 degrees. D. The best example of this on the big old tree is another species of tree called a rowan.

E. Alternatively, they could be used to hold a community event in honour of the tree. F. It was planted from a seed in 1809 by a woman called Ann Brailsford.

G. Children hang bird feeders from its branches and it is used as the focus of many of the educational activities going on around it.

III. Read the text and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).

Tokyo is a famous city. There are a few good buildings and impressive temples; there are a few parks worth visiting. Everything has to be small in Tokyo: houses, rooms, shops. Long-side streets consist of tony houses only, and this often creates a toy-like, with small women tip-toeing along in their kimonos.

Tokyo at nights is a very different place from Tokyo in daytime. Millions of neon lights are switched on and nowhere in the world is more attractive.

A towm is not its buildings alone; it is an atmosphere, its pleasure, its sadness, its madness, and above all its people. Tokyo may lack architectural beauty but is has character and excitement; it is alive. I found it a mysterious and lovable city.

3.____T____Many small houses found along long road.

4._____F___At night, Tokyo is not as attractive as many other cities.

6.____T____ The author likes Tokyo.

When I was 10 years old, I( was 1)moved to a new house. This house was very beautiful, and my room is beautiful, too!
When I opened the door, I could hardly believe what I saw. Had my wish come true? My room had been coloured by pink ! It is lighter and it also has a wide window from where you can see the mountains and a country landscape. It has a very big balcony with a view at the sea. There were many nice pictures hung on the wall. In one side, there is a huge bed covered by a patchwork cover, and small lamp on the bedside table. There not only a table, a desk with a computer but also a TV. My guitar and the piano were in the corner of the room and there were many beautiful colour lights on the ceiling. There was a small white rug on the wooden floor and plenty of books were on the shelves opposite to the bed.
I'm very grateful to my parrents that builded for me the best room ever that I never had before!

*: chú ý chia quá khứ như là câu đầu tiên, đã chia quá khứa là This house WAS beautiful  rồi mà đoạn sau còn ns là my room IS beautiful nữa. còn câu I was moved là ko đc vì trong câu này chỉcần chia moved thôi chứ ko có was.
