family in Britain is changing. The once typical British family headed by two parents has undergone substantial changes during the twentieth century. In particular there has been a rise in the number of single-person households, which increased from 18 to 29 per cent of all households between 1971 and 2002. By the year 2020, it is estimated that there will be more single people than married people. Fifty years ago, this would have been socially unacceptable in Britain.

In the past, people got married and stayed married. Divorce was very difficult, expensive and took a long time.

(cohabit) without getting married. Only about 60% of these couples will eventually get married.

In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in Britain are born to unmarried cohabiting) parents. In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Cohabiting couples are also starting families without first being married. Before 1960 this was very unusual, but in 2001 around 23 per cent of births in the UK were to cohabiting couples.

People are generally getting married at a later age now and many women do not want to have children immediately. They prefer to concentrate on their jobs and put off having a baby until late thirties.

The number of single-parent families is increasing. This is mainly due to more marriages ending in divorce, but some women are also choosing to have children as lone parents without being married.

POPPY DAY
POPPY DAY , 11 November, is the day when people in Britain remember the soldiers that died in the First World War (1914 – 1918), the Second World War (1939 – 1945) and all other wars since. The first Poppy Day was in 1921. The First World War had ended three years earlier, but it was still very difficult, even impossible, for ex-soldiers in Britain to find employment. So some of them started making and selling red paper poppies. They gave the money that they raised to ex-soldiers who were disabled or unemployed, and to the families of soldiers who had died. The choice of flower was significant. During the war, the soldiers had noticed poppies growing every year on the battlefields in Belgium and the north of France. A well – known poem from that time, written by a Canadian soldier, begin with the lines:
In Flanders* fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place*; …
In the days leading up to Poppy Day, about 32 million people in Britain buy and wear small poppies. Some people choose to wear white poppies because they think that white symbolizes peace. Then, at 11 a.m. on 11 November (at the moment when the First World War ended) there’s a two – minute silence. Many people stop and think quietly about the soldiers who died. There are ceremonies at war memorials in towns and villages all over the country. The most important ceremony is in London, when the Queen and the Prime Minister lay wreaths of poppies at the Cenotaph, a monument to soldiers who died in battle.

NGÀY TƯỞNG NIỆM NGÀY NAY, 11 tháng 11, là ngày mà người dân Anh nhớ đến những người lính đã chết trong Thế chiến thứ nhất (1914 - 1918), Chiến tranh thế giới thứ hai (1939 - 1945) và tất cả các cuộc chiến khác kể từ đó. Ngày Poppy đầu tiên là vào năm 1921. Chiến tranh thế giới thứ nhất đã kết thúc ba năm trước đó, nhưng vẫn rất khó khăn, thậm chí là không thể đối với các cựu binh ở Anh để tìm việc làm. Vì vậy, một số trong số họ bắt đầu làm và bán anh túc giấy đỏ. Họ đã đưa số tiền mà họ quyên góp cho những cựu binh bị tàn tật hoặc thất nghiệp, và cho gia đình của những người lính đã chết. Sự lựa chọn của hoa là rất quan trọng. Trong chiến tranh, những người lính đã nhận thấy cây anh túc mọc hàng năm trên các chiến trường ở Bỉ và phía bắc nước Pháp. Một bài thơ nổi tiếng từ thời đó, được viết bởi một người lính Canada, bắt đầu bằng những dòng: Trong cánh đồng Flanders * anh túc thổi Giữa các thập giá, hàng trên hàng, Điều đó đánh dấu vị trí của chúng tôi *; Giáo dục Trong những ngày trước Ngày Poppy, khoảng 32 triệu người ở Anh mua và mặc những cây anh túc nhỏ. Một số người chọn mặc anh túc trắng vì họ nghĩ rằng màu trắng tượng trưng cho hòa bình. Sau đó, vào lúc 11 giờ sáng ngày 11 tháng 11 (tại thời điểm Thế chiến thứ nhất kết thúc), có một khoảng lặng hai phút. Nhiều người dừng lại và suy nghĩ lặng lẽ về những người lính đã chết. Có những nghi lễ tại đài tưởng niệm chiến tranh ở các thị trấn và làng mạc trên cả nước. Buổi lễ quan trọng nhất là ở London, khi Nữ hoàng và Thủ tướng đặt vòng hoa anh túc tại Cenotaph, một tượng đài cho những người lính đã chết trong trận chiến. * (Flanders = phía bắc của Bỉ; vị trí của chúng tôi = ngôi mộ của chúng tôi)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions below.

FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES

Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a

“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the mo ney for the family.

He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife

agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.

Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from

grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with t his kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.

Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let

people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend mo re time with their children.

Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.

These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their

children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

Sixty years ago, most women ____________

  • A. went out to work
  • B. had no children
  • C. did not do much housework
  • D. were housewives

Early western travelers, whether to Persia, Turkey, or China frequently remark on the absence of changes in fashion there. On the other hand, people of these cultures believe that there is an instability and lack of order in western culture. The Japanese always boast that clothing in their culture has not changed in over a thousand years. Of course there is considerable evidence that there has been rapidly changing fashions in all parts of the world. Changes in costume often take place at times of economic or social change, followed by a long period without major changes. The beginnings of fashion and the wearing of different clothes in Europe can be dated to the middle of 14th century. The most dramatic change was a sudden shortening and tightening of the male over garment, sometimes also stuffing the chest area to make it look bigger. The pace of change accelerated during the following century and women and men's fashion became more complex and diverse.

Although tailors and dressmakers were no doubt responsible for many innovations in style, the textile industry certainly has been very influential. The four major fashion capitals are considered to be Milan, New York, Paris, and London. Fashion weeks are held in these cities where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to audiences; these cities are also where all the headquarters of the greatest fashion companies in the world are located.

Westerners today have a wide selection choice of clothes available. What a person chooses to wear can reflect their personality or likes. When people who have cultural status start to wear new or different clothes, a fashion trend may start. People who like them may start to wear clothes of a similar style. Fashions may vary considerably within a society according to age, social class, generation, occupation and geography, as well as over the passing of time. If, for example, an older person dresses according to the fashion of young people, he or she may look ridiculous in the eyes of both young and older people. The terms “fashionista” and “fashion victim” refer to someone who slavishly follows current fashions. The fashion industry is a product of the modern era. Prior to the mid-19th century, most clothing was custom- made. It was hand-made for individuals, either as home production or on order from dressmakers and tailors. Although the fashion industry developed first in Europe and America, today it is an international industry, with clothing often designed in one country, produced in another, and sold worldwide. At the beginning of the 20th century, fashion magazines began to include photographs of various fashion designs and became even more influential on people than in the past. These magazines had many effects on the clothing tastes of the public. "Vogue", founded in the US in 1892, has been one of the most successful of these magazines. Though colors and patterns of textiles change from year to year, the cut of a gentleman's coat or the pattern to which a lady's dress was cut changes more slowly. Men's fashions largely derived from military models. Women's fashions mainly derived from geographical and regional customs.

Early western travelers, whether to Persia, Turkey, or China frequently remark on the absence of changes in fashion there. On the other hand, people of these cultures believe that there is an instability and lack of order in western culture. The Japanese always boast that clothing in their culture has not changed in over a thousand years. Of course there is considerable evidence that there has been rapidly changing fashions in all parts of the world. Changes in costume often take place at times of economic or social change, followed by a long period without major changes. The beginnings of fashion and the wearing of different clothes in Europe can be dated to the middle of 14th century. The most dramatic change was a sudden shortening and tightening of the male over garment, sometimes also stuffing the chest area to make it look bigger. The pace of change accelerated during the following century and women and men's fashion became more complex and diverse.

Although tailors and dressmakers were no doubt responsible for many innovations in style, the textile industry certainly has been very influential. The four major fashion capitals are considered to be Milan, New York, Paris, and London. Fashion weeks are held in these cities where designers exhibit their new clothing collections to audiences; these cities are also where all the headquarters of the greatest fashion companies in the world are located.

Westerners today have a wide selection choice of clothes available. What a person chooses to wear can reflect their personality or likes. When people who have cultural status start to wear new or different clothes, a fashion trend may start. People who like them may start to wear clothes of a similar style. Fashions may vary considerably within a society according to age, social class, generation, occupation and geography, as well as over the passing of time. If, for example, an older person dresses according to the fashion of young people, he or she may look ridiculous in the eyes of both young and older people. The terms “fashionista” and “fashion victim” refer to someone who slavishly follows current fashions. The fashion industry is a product of the modern era. Prior to the mid-19th century, most clothing was custom- made. It was hand-made for individuals, either as home production or on order from dressmakers and tailors. Although the fashion industry developed first in Europe and America, today it is an international industry, with clothing often designed in one country, produced in another, and sold worldwide. At the beginning of the 20th century, fashion magazines began to include photographs of various fashion designs and became even more influential on people than in the past. These magazines had many effects on the clothing tastes of the public. "Vogue", founded in the US in 1892, has been one of the most successful of these magazines. Though colors and patterns of textiles change from year to year, the cut of a gentleman's coat or the pattern to which a lady's dress was cut changes more slowly. Men's fashions largely derived from military models. Women's fashions mainly derived from geographical and regional customs.

Những du khách phương Tây xưa, dù là Ba Tư, Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ, hay Trung Quốc thường xuyên nhận xét về sự vắng mặt của những thay đổi trong thời trang. Mặt khác, người dân của các nền văn hoá tin rằng có một sự mất ổn định và thiếu trật tự trong văn hoá phương Tây. Người Nhật luôn khoe rằng quần áo trong nền văn hoá của họ đã không thay đổi trong hơn một nghìn năm. Tất nhiên có bằng chứng đáng kể rằng thời trang đã thay đổi nhanh chóng ở tất cả các nơi trên thế giới. Thay đổi trang phục thường diễn ra vào những thời điểm thay đổi về kinh tế hay xã hội, tiếp theo là một thời gian dài mà không có những thay đổi lớn. Sự khởi đầu của thời trang và mặc quần áo khác nhau ở châu Âu có thể được hẹn hò vào giữa thế kỷ 14. Sự thay đổi mạnh mẽ nhất là sự rút ngắn đột ngột và thắt chặt của người đàn ông qua hàng may mặc, đôi khi cũng nhồi vùng ngực để làm cho nó lớn hơn. Tốc độ thay đổi tăng nhanh trong thế kỷ tiếp theo và phụ nữ và thời trang của nam giới trở nên phức tạp và đa dạng hơn.

Mặc dù thợ may không nghi ngờ gì về nhiều đổi mới về phong cách, ngành dệt may chắc chắn đã có ảnh hưởng rất lớn. Bốn thủ đô thời trang nổi tiếng là Milan, New York, Paris và London. Tuần lễ thời trang được tổ chức ở những thành phố này, nơi các nhà thiết kế giới thiệu bộ sưu tập quần áo mới của họ cho khán giả; những thành phố này cũng là nơi mà tất cả các trụ sở chính của các công ty thời trang lớn nhất trên thế giới được đặt.

Người phương Tây hiện nay có rất nhiều lựa chọn về quần áo. Những gì một người chọn để mặc có thể phản ánh cá tính hoặc thích của họ. Khi những người có địa vị văn hoá mặc quần áo mới hoặc khác nhau, xu hướng thời trang sẽ bắt đầu. Những người thích họ có thể bắt đầu mặc quần áo của một phong cách tương tự. Thời trang có thể thay đổi đáng kể trong một xã hội theo tuổi, tầng lớp xã hội, thế hệ, nghề nghiệp và địa lý, cũng như về thời gian. Ví dụ, nếu người cao tuổi mặc trang phục theo thời trang của những người trẻ tuổi, họ có thể trông thật lố bịch trong mắt cả người trẻ và người lớn tuổi. Thuật ngữ "thời trang" và "nạn nhân thời trang" chỉ những người theo thời trang hiện đại. Ngành công nghiệp thời trang là một sản phẩm của thời kỳ hiện đại. Trước giữa thế kỷ 19, hầu hết quần áo được làm theo yêu cầu của khách hàng. Nó được làm bằng tay cho các cá nhân, hoặc là sản xuất tại nhà hoặc theo yêu cầu của nhà may vá và thợ may. Mặc dù ngành công nghiệp thời trang phát triển đầu tiên ở châu Âu và Mỹ, ngày nay nó là một ngành công nghiệp quốc tế, với quần áo thường được thiết kế ở một quốc gia, sản xuất ở nước khác, và được bán trên toàn thế giới. Vào đầu thế kỷ 20, các tạp chí thời trang bắt đầu bao gồm những bức ảnh về các kiểu thiết kế thời trang khác nhau và thậm chí còn có ảnh hưởng nhiều hơn đến con người hơn là trong quá khứ. Những tạp chí này có nhiều ảnh hưởng đến sở thích quần áo của công chúng. "Vogue", được thành lập ở Mỹ vào năm 1892, là một trong những tạp chí thành công nhất. Mặc dù màu sắc và kiểu dáng của hàng dệt may thay đổi theo từng năm, việc cắt lớp áo của quý ông hoặc mô hình mà trang phục của một cô gái bị cắt giảm chậm hơn. Thời trang của nam giới chủ yếu bắt nguồn từ các mô hình quân sự. Các thời trang của phụ nữ chủ yếu xuất phát từ phong tục địa lý và khu vực.

I would like to talk about the Lunar New Year festival, also known as the Tet holiday, which is the occasion expected the most by Vietnamese people every year. The festival usually lasts for around 7 days, and it takes place when a new year comes according to the lunar calendar.

The Lunar New Year festival takes place because it is one of the most well-known traditions of Vietnam. Our people have been celebrating this occasion for thousands of years, and although there has been some recent argument about whether we should stop celebrating this festival, I do not think this activity will come to an end soon, at least not in the short term.

There are some common things that people do during this festival. Perhaps the most important thing is that people who work and study in big cities would go back to their hometown to celebrate the new year with their families and relatives. The new year festival is one of very few occasions that families can gather together, so it is easy to understand why everyone in Vietnam expects this festival so much. Another thing that we usually do is that we give children some “lucky money” with the hope that it will bring fortune to those kids. We also have some other activities such as making “chung” cake, visiting temples and pagodas… and so on.

The new year festival is so important to me and also to all Vietnamese citizens. The reason is because we get more days off from work and study, and therefore we have more time to spend with our families and our loved ones. It is also a great time to think about what we have done in the previous year, and to make plans for the upcoming year.

Tôi muốn nói về Tết Nguyên Đán, còn được gọi là dịp Tết, đó là dịp mà mọi người Việt Nam mong muốn hàng năm. Tết thường kéo dài khoảng 7 ngày, và nó diễn ra khi một năm mới đến theo âm lịch.

Tết Nguyên đán diễn ra bởi vì đây là một trong những truyền thống nổi tiếng nhất của Việt Nam. Nhân dân chúng tôi đã tổ chức kỷ niệm này hàng ngàn năm, và mặc dù đã có một số tranh luận gần đây về việc liệu chúng ta nên ngừng ăn mừng lễ hội này, tôi không nghĩ rằng hoạt động này sẽ sớm kết thúc, ít nhất là trong thời gian ngắn.

Có một số điều phổ biến mà mọi người làm trong lễ hội này. Có lẽ điều quan trọng nhất là những người làm việc và học tập tại các thành phố lớn sẽ quay trở lại quê hương để mừng năm mới với gia đình và người thân. Lễ hội năm mới là một trong những dịp rất hiếm hoi mà các gia đình có thể tập hợp lại, vì vậy rất dễ hiểu vì sao mọi người ở Việt Nam đều mong đợi lễ hội này rất nhiều. Một điều khác thường làm là chúng tôi cho trẻ tiền lì xì với hy vọng rằng nó sẽ mang lại tài sản cho những đứa trẻ đó. Chúng tôi cũng có một số hoạt động khác như làm bánh chưng , thăm đền chùa ... và như vậy.

Tết năm mới rất quan trọng đối với tôi và cho tất cả công dân Việt Nam. Lý do là vì chúng ta có nhiều ngày nghỉ việc và học tập, và do đó chúng ta có nhiều thời gian hơn để dành cho gia đình và những người thân yêu. Đây cũng là thời gian tuyệt vời để suy nghĩ về những gì chúng tôi đã làm trong năm trước và để hoạch định kế hoạch cho năm tới.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

   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 explosion 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 debate 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 employer's doctor didn't agree.

   What is it 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 use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

Question: According to the passage, cellphones are very popular with young people because _______.

A. they make them look more stylish

B. they are worrying

C. they are a means of communication

D. they are considered unusual

Read the passage and mark the letter A , B , C or D to answer the questions from 1 - 7

PANDEMIC DISEASES

Diseases are a natural part of life on earth . If there were no diseases , the population would grow too quickly , and there would not be enough food or other resources , so in a way , diseases are natural ways of keeping the Earth in balance . But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people . For example , in 1918 , an outbreak of the flu spread across the world , killing over 25 million people in only six months . Such terrible outbreaks of a diseases are called pandemics

Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight . In 1918 , a new type of flu virus appeared . Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus , and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people . While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history , all of them have a new thing in common . First , all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily .

Second , while they may kill many people , they generally do not kill people very quickly . A good example of this would be the Marburg virus . The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease . In addition , it is deadly . About 70 - 80 % of all people who get the Marburg virus died from the disease . However , the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease . This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread a large number of people . The flu virus of 1918 , on the other hand , generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims , so it had more time to spread .

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics , we can make them less common . Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics . For example , in 2002 , and 2003 , doctors carefully watched SARS . Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic .

C. it was the last pandemic in history D. it took a little over a week to kill ít victims

Question 4 : The word " it " in the passage refers to .......................

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

   Music therapy is using music to help people with a variety of problems. For example, it can help people with communication and speech problems speak better. It can help people with memory problems remember things from their past. Music therapy can also help people manage stress and be more relaxed. It can even make people with bad pain feel better.

   In music therapy, a music therapist works with one person alone or with small groups. The therapist meets with the person and does tests to find out what the problem is and what the person can do with music. Then the therapist decides what kind of music therapy to use. Some people sing, and others might compose music, but a person doesn't need to know about music to be helped by music therapy. There are options such as listening to music and dancing to music. Research shows that these activities are good for the body and for the mind.

   Homes that take care of elderly people often have music therapy programs. The programs help the elderly be more energetic and also help with memory problems. Some hospitals have music therapy for patients who are in a lot of pain. Music can affect a part of the brain that reduces pain.

   Trevor Gibbons is one example of a person who was helped by music therapy. In 2000, he was putting in windows on the fourth floor of a building when he fell. He was in the hospital for over a year. He was in a lot of pain, and he couldn’t talk. He went from the hospital to a rehabilitation center that has a music therapy program, and a music therapist worked with him for several years. He could sing more easily than he could talk. Trevor says that music also helped him manage loneliness, sadness, and pain after he was hurt. Music and the music therapist inspired him, and he has written and sung many songs. He has even recorded CDs and performed at Lincoln Center in New York.

Question 9: It is stated in the passage that _______.

A. homes for the aged don’t have music therapy programs

B. in music therapy some people sing or even compose music

C. Trevor Gibbons hurt himself when he fell off the fifth floor

D. listening and dancing to music are not included in music therapy
