  If you struggle with reading, then watching TV can certainly seem a lot easier. It certainly feels like a passive activity, requiring little effort from us but to relax. (But what benefits are you missing out on by not reading)? And what specifically are the benefits of reading compared to watching television or movies?

   Some television programs do provide great educational input. We love National Geographic as much as the next person. But more often a TV show requires little to no input or thinking by the viewer. We admit it; this is one of the attractions of television on occasion. Trouble is, a Japanese study in 2013 found
watching TV actually lowered the IQ of children. In contrast, a recent study by Emory University found reading novels created heightened connectivity in the brain for up to five days after reading. Connectivity in the brain translates to getting smarter over time. So reading can make you smarter.

     Reading has been shown to reduce stress in just six minutes! Research shows reading works faster and better than listening to music, drinking coffee or even taking a walk. TV might feel like it relaxes your body, but another study showed television can amplify stress because we frequently feel guilty or like a failure afterwards.

  Reading is not generally seen as a social activity. Yet reading can have great impact on how we react in social situations. Reading develops better verbal and empathy skills. Better empathy, verbal skills, and knowledge make readers more interesting and attractive people. Watching TV is a basically antisocial experience. Especially for young children compared to being read a story by a parent or grandparent. Reading aloud together is an interactive process especially important for the development of young children.

Question 36. Which of the following best describes the main idea of the passage?
A. People nowadays prefer watching TV to reading books.
B. Reading brings people more benefits than watching TV.
C. Are books able to replace TV in the future?
D. The benefits of reading books outweigh its disadvantages.
Question 37. According to paragraph 2, reading can enhance people’s vocabulary by ______________.
A. using short and simple sentences, pitched at a fourth grade level.
B. using a greater range of vocabulary, longer sentences and more complex sentences.
C. encouraging adults to read to the children.
D. presenting the content in many forms such as books, novels and especially newspapers.
Question 38. The phrase “step up” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. reduce    B. emphasize    C. provide    D. increase
Question 39. The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ____________.
A. TV’s little or no requirement of input or thinking by the viewer
B. the love for National Geographic as much as the next person
C. great educational input of television programs
D. one of the attractions of television
Question 40. What conclusion can we draw from the study by Emory University in paragraph 3?
A. Watching TV may cause you fewer troubles than reading.
B. We can connect our brains by watching TV and reading books.
C. You may increase your IQ if you keep reading over time.
D. The attraction of TV is the connectivity in the brain for many days.
Question 41. The word “amplify” in paragraph 4 most probably means ___________.
A. intensify    B. identify    C. prevent    D. address
Question 42. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Reading may reduce stress faster than listening to music, drinking coffee or even taking a walk.
B. Reading to children is significant for the development of them.
C. Watching TV can certainly seem much easier than reading a book.
D. People are likely to be more interesting and attractive by the knowledge from TV.

Choose from the paragraphs A-H the one which fits each gap (124-130). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. (7 points)

SUMMER CAMP: A SOAP OPERA

Every June, thousands of British students fly to the United States to spend their holidays working at summer camps. In return, they get a free return flight, full board, pocket money and the chance to travel. Lucy Graham joined a camp and spent eight weeks working with six to sixteen-year-olds.

I applied at the last minute and was so thrilled at the prospect of spending the holidays doing something more exciting than working in the local supermarket that I hastily accepted the only job left - in the camp laundry.

(124) ___ On arrival I was told by the camp director that I would be doing the washing for 200 children - on my own. Any romantic dreams I'd had quickly turned into nightmare reality. For the first week, the party sent out by the jobs agency - nine students, including me - became a full-time cleaning squad, getting the place ready for its grand opening.

(125) ___ The children's arrival also brought 50 American counsellors to look after them, and the opening of the laundry. At first, I had to work from 8.45 in the morning till 10.30 at night to get all my work done. Considering there was no hot water in the laundry and the machines were old, the washing came out remarkably well.

(126) ___ The kitchen workers, maintenance man and myself found that we were on the lowest level of the camp's class system. Our four British counsellor friends had a much better time. They got friendly with their American colleagues and were respected by the children. They were also given tips by parents after the holiday.

(127) ___ As for the camp itself, it had a large lake and excellent sporting facilities. But because organised activities for the children carried on into the evening, we usually didn't get the chance to use them. However, much more annoying were my room-mates, three 18­-year-old girls who worked in the dining room.

(128) ___ On top of that, the camp food was poor, with child-size portions; fresh fruit and vegetables were rare. One catering worker even stood over the pineapple rings, checking that you took only one each.

(129) ___ However, I couldn't set off as soon as the children left because we had to stay on for a few days, cleaning and closing down the camp. My last duty was to load up the rubbish bags and take out any clothes the children had thrown away, in case their parents asked about them.

(130) ___ What's more, without the free ticket I got to the US - and the rail ticket from my parents ­- I would never have seen Niagara Falls, gone up the Empire State Building or had my picture taken with Mickey Mouse at Disney World.

A They had never been away from home before, and spent most of the night screaming with excitement. Sometimes, the only way to get any rest was to pretend to be ill and sleep in the medical centre.

B We weren't so lucky. We were never invited to join in the evening activities. When we did manage to get out of the camp, our evenings tended to consist of eating ice-cream at the local gas station.

C As a result, the standard of the camp you end up in is usually a question of luck. However, the agencies do hold meetings where you can ask representatives from camps about the facilities and the nature of the work you will be expected to do.

D We swept out the bedrooms and scrubbed the lavatories, gymnasium and kitchen. We polished the cooking equipment, put up the sports nets and carried any luggage sent on ahead to the bedrooms.

E On the whole it had been well worth it. Despite the washing, the camp's plus points had been a beautiful setting, meeting a great bunch of travelling companions and doing far more reading for my university course than I would have done at home.

F All these disadvantages meant that Saturdays, our days off, were highly valued. The places we visited then, such as New York City, gave me an appetite for travelling later on. If I hadn't done that, I would have regretted it - there is so much to see and do and I was keen to get on with it.

G But with so many clothes to wash and dry, some did get mixed up. I had six­-year-olds marching up and telling me that their parents would be very angry if I didn't find their favourite sweater.

H I started to have my doubts while squashed between the swimming instructor and the sports teacher during the three-hour minibus ride to the camp, which was in a tiny town about 90 miles from New York City.

To revoke that, they race each other for their children to study, learn the fool, causing you to have time to rest, to play healthy. We can't confirm whether parents think or think is wrong at all when good jobs require degrees. Studying at university is important by the way. Firstly, in a higher education environment, students will have access to selected knowledge as quickly as they can through books and practices. Its knowledge will help you to raise your expertise at work later on. Secondly, universities provide you with more opportunities for your careers. For example, companies tend to receive students who have good results or are proved to be excellent from universities instead of looking for candidates themselves.
But is university the only way to success? No is the answer. If you think about it, scientists, the richest people in the world don't everybody go to university but they still succeed. Let's take just one example. Bill Gates, a global owner of Microsoft at the age of 20, has dropped out of university to pursue his interests. And the people who invented the utility plow or the reapers were just farmers. We cannot deny the benefits of college, but why are there thousands of unemployed students every year? And very few students get out to school and do their training? Many students get a good degree, a good degree, but are difficult or unable to get a job. There are only two main reasons, which are that few practices lead to a lack of skills and a failure to implement the skills that they have learned. In short,the university is not the only path to success but it is the most secure and secure path. So when you slip through college, you don't have to go through sadness, and this door closes, another door opens, and importantly we have to have faith and determination, and one day we will achieve success.

Mọi người soát lỗi hộ mình với ạ! Thank you very much!

hay quá bạn :

Vào đại học, đó là một bước ngoặt lớn trong cuộc đời của mỗi con người. Hầu hết các bậc cha mẹ ở Việt Nam hiện nay đều cho rằng học đại học là sự đảm bảo tốt nhất cho tương lai của con cái họ. Vì vậy, nhiều phụ huynh đã tạo áp lực về điểm số và thứ bậc trong lớp học. Để thu hồi điều đó, họ đua nhau cho con học, học dốt, khiến các bạn không có thời gian nghỉ ngơi, vui chơi lành mạnh. Chúng tôi không thể khẳng định rằng phụ huynh nghĩ hay nghĩ sai chút nào khi công việc tốt đòi hỏi bằng cấp. Nhân tiện, việc học ở trường đại học là rất quan trọng. Thứ nhất, trong môi trường giáo dục đại học, sinh viên sẽ được tiếp cận với kiến ​​thức được chọn lọc nhanh nhất có thể thông qua sách vở và thực hành. Kiến thức của nó sẽ giúp bạn nâng cao chuyên môn của mình trong công việc sau này. Thứ hai, các trường đại học cung cấp cho bạn nhiều cơ hội hơn cho sự nghiệp của bạn. Ví dụ, các công ty có xu hướng nhận những sinh viên có kết quả tốt hoặc được chứng minh là xuất sắc từ các trường đại học thay vì tự tìm kiếm ứng viên. Không là câu trả lời. Nếu bạn nghĩ về nó, các nhà khoa học, những người giàu nhất trên thế giới không phải ai cũng học đại học nhưng họ vẫn thành công. Hãy lấy một ví dụ. Bill Gates, chủ sở hữu toàn cầu của Microsoft ở tuổi 20, đã bỏ học đại học để theo đuổi sở thích của mình. Và những người phát minh ra máy cày tiện ích hay máy gặt chỉ là nông dân. Chúng ta không thể phủ nhận lợi ích của việc học đại học, nhưng tại sao hàng năm vẫn có hàng nghìn sinh viên thất nghiệp? Và rất ít sinh viên ra trường và thực hiện các khóa đào tạo của họ? Nhiều sinh viên đạt được bằng khá, giỏi nhưng khó hoặc không xin được việc làm. Chỉ có hai lý do chính, đó là ít thực hành dẫn đến thiếu kỹ năng và không thực hiện được các kỹ năng đã học. Tóm lại, đại học không phải là con đường duy nhất dẫn đến thành công nhưng nó là con đường an toàn và chắc chắn nhất. Vì vậy, khi trượt đại học, bạn không cần phải trải qua nỗi buồn, cánh cửa này đóng lại thì cánh cửa khác sẽ mở ra, quan trọng là chúng ta phải có niềm tin và sự quyết tâm, rồi sẽ có ngày đạt được thành công.

Read the article about a type of art. Are the sentences true or false? Write T or F.

When we think of art, we normally picture something which can exist for centuries. But there has always been a type of art which doesn't last. This is often referred to as 'temporary' art. Sculptures which are made of snow or ice, paintings in coloured sand, chalk drawings done on public pavements: it's not that these don't have artistic value, but they are designed to disappear.

Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada is a modern 'temporary' artist, and one who gets a lot of attention for his work. He uses groups of volunteers to help him, and his pieces take a long time to plan and create. But they are mostly talked about because the final results are so impressive. For the past few years, Rodríguez-Gerada has been creating gigantic faces in empty spaces in cities. To people on the ground, it looks like a garden, and it is hard to see any kind of design in it. In fact, GPS mapping is used to set out the design. Then an army of workers use this master plan to create the image which the artist has planned.

In 2014, the artist created an astonishing face on the National Mall in Washington, DC. It covered an area of 25,000 square metres, and it was created because the mall was getting new gardens, and the land wasn't going to be used for a while. The portrait was of a young man of mixed race, and was called Of the Many, One. The artist says that it showed one of the millions of faces that represent the American people. After a while, the sand and soil of the portrait were mixed together, and new lawns were planted in its place. The portrait has disappeared, but it will not easily be forgotten.

The little chefs Hilary Rose travels to Dorset, in the south of England, to investigate a cookery course for children. There must be something in the air in Dorset, because the last place you’d expect to fi nd children during the summer holidays is in the kitchen. Yet in a farmhouse, deep in the English countryside, that’s exactly where they are – on a cookery course designed especially for children. It’s all the idea of Anna Wilson, who wants to educate young children about cooking and eating in a healthy way. ‘I’m very keen to plant the idea in their heads that food doesn’t grow on supermarket shelves,’ she explains. ‘The course is all about making food fun and enjoyable.’ She thinks that eight is the perfect age to start teaching children to cook, because at that age they are always hungry. 9() These children are certainly all smiles as they arrive at the country farmhouse. Three girls and four boys aged from ten to thirteen make up the group. They are immediately given a tour of what will be ‘home’ for the next 48 hours. 10 But one thing is quite clear – they all have a genuine interest in food and learning how to cook. Anna has worked as a chef in all sorts of situations and has even cooked for the crew of a racing yacht, in limited space and diffi cult weather conditions. 11 ‘Kids are easy to teach,’ she insists, ‘because they’re naturally curious and if you treat them like adults they listen to you.’ Back in the kitchen, Anna is giving the introductory talk, including advice on keeping hands clean, and being careful around hot ovens. 12 Judging by the eager looks on their young faces as they watch Anna’s demonstration, they are just keen to start cooking. The children learn the simplest way, by watching and then doing it themselves. They gather round as Anna chops an onion for the fi rst evening meal. Then the boys compete with each other to chop their onions as fast as possible, while the girls work carefully, concentrating on being neat. 13 When they learn to make bread, the girls knead the dough with their hands competently, while the boys punch it into the board, cheerfully hitting the table with their fi sts. The following morning, four boys with dark shadows under their eyes stumble into the kitchen at 8.30 a.m. to learn how to make breakfast (sausages and eggs, and fruit drinks made with yoghurt and honey). We learn later that they didn’t stop talking until 4.30 a.m. 14 Ignoring this, Anna brightly continues trying to persuade everyone that fruit drinks are just as interesting as sausages and eggs. Anna has great plans for the courses and is reluctant to lower her standards in any way, even though her students are so young. 15 ‘And I like to keep the course fees down,’ Anna adds, ‘because if the children enjoy it and go on to teach their own children to cook, I feel it’s worth it.’ If this course doesn’t inspire them to cook, nothing will.

A This is followed by a session on ‘knife skills’, which will be important later on.

B She always uses top- quality ingredients, such as the best cuts of meat and the fi nest cheeses, so there’s clearly no profi t motive in this operation.

C As they wander round, they argue lightheartedly about who has had the most experience in the kitchen.

D In the garden, they learn about the herbs that they will use in their cooking.

E Their obvious tiredness may explain why one of them goes about the task so carelessly that the ingredients end up on the fl oor.

F This is particularly true of young boys, who are happy to do anything that will end in a meal.

G As a result, she has a very relaxed attitude to cooking, constantly encouraging the children and never talking down to them.

H This contrast will become something of a theme during the course.

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.

'Oh yes. I always do exactly the same things. I wake up at seven o'clock every morning, but I don't get quarter past seven. I switch on the radio and listen to the news. Then I go to the too and I brush my-teeth. I have a shower and dry my hair. Then I choose my clothes and I get dressed. I don'y 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 route to work. Eat something different for brealfast. Change your routine. You never know, it could change your life.
