Câu 16: Read the text and answer questions below.
Winter is dangerous because it's so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents
take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding
beneath the melting snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards you may
suddenly slide across the road.
Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Uneven movements can
make a car suddenly very difficult to control. So every time you turn the wheel, touch the brakes or
increase your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Imagine you are driving with a full
cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn't spill it.
a. Why is winter dangerous?
.........................................................................................................................................................
b. What can be waiting you in winter?
.........................................................................................................................................................
c. How should you drive on icy roads?
.........................................................................................................................................................
d. Why does the writer talk about a cup of coffee?

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It
can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and stronger heart.
But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you're not carrying the
weight of your body on your feet, it's a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs.
However, with all forms of exercise it's important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing
too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren't used to working. If you have any doubts about
taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask his/her advice. Ideally you should be
cycling at least two or three times a week.
a. How should you go cycling a week?
.........................................................................................................................................................
b. How should all forms of exercise be started?
.........................................................................................................................................................
c. Why is cycling a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs?
.........................................................................................................................................................
d. Why shouldn't you worry about the shortness of breath?

Do you love hamburgers? Do you know how they were created? The first hamburgers
in U.S. history were served in New Haven, Connecticut, at Louis' Lunch sandwich shop in
1895. Louis Lassen, founder of Louis' Lunch, ran a small lunch wagon selling steak
sandwiches to local factory workers. Because he didn't like to waste the excess beef from his
daily lunch rush, he ground it up, grilled it, and served it between two slices of bread - and
America's first hamburger was created. The small Crown Street luncheonette is still owned and
operated by third and fourth generations of the Lassen family.
Hamburgers are still the specialty of the house, where steak is ground fresh each day
and hand molded, slow cooked, broiled vertically, and served between two slices of toast with
your choice of only three "acceptable" garnishes: cheese, tomato, and onion.
a. What is the main idea of the passage?
.........................................................................................................................................................

When I opened the first 'Body Shop' in 1976 my only object was to earn enough to feed
my children. Today The Body Shop' is an international company rapidly growing all around
the world. In the years since we began I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will
be found in this book, for I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about
how to run a successful business without giving up what we really believe in.
It's not a normal business book, nor is it just about my life. The message is that to
succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, a business can be run with
love and it can do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of
family and to feel excited by the unexpected.

Some people have complained about this year's collection, New Writing 3, although I
cannot understand why. Surely 500 pages of original writing of this quality, for £6.99, is pretty
amazing?
Fiction - both parts of novels and complete short stories - makes up most of the book.
There are some enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia McWilliam and Rose
Tremain. It's a strange fact that the less well-known people seem to have written mainly about
food. Take my advice about Jane Harris's Those Nails - this piece should definitely not be read
just after meals. It contains some very unpleasant scenes which could turn your stomach!
There is fine work from nineteen poets, including R. S. Thomas and John Burnside.
There are pieces from novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane Rogers.

a. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
.........................................................................................................................................................
b. Why would somebody read the text?
.........................................................................................................................................................
c. What does the writer think of New Writing 3?
.........................................................................................................................................................

"The best age to start learnmg the violin is between three and six,' says Margaret Porter,
a violinist and music teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret,
who lives in London, prefers to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of
exceptions for keen five-year-olds. When she started teaching the violin in 1972, her first class
consisted of her children's five- year-old school friends.
Margaret's pupils have group lessons. Each group has about a dozen pupils and each
lesson lasts an hour, once a fortnight. In addition, each pupil has one individual lesson a week
with her. Parents also have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active
interest in the lessons.
From the earliest lessons pupils leam to play by ear. They do not even try to read music
until they have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference
between their playing and reading of music.

Centuries ago in Ancient Greece, a man by name of Antipater of Sidon compiled a list
of what he thought were the Seven Wonders of the World. The seven included the hanging
Gardens of Babylon in present - day Iraq, The Statue of Zeus in Greece, and the Pyramid of

Cheops in Egypt. The pyramid is the only wonder you can still see today. Many people claim
that there other wonders, which the ancient Greeks knew nothing about. These include the
Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Angkor Wat
should really be known as a wonder because it is the largest temple in the world.

Bill Bird is a shoemaker who cannot make shoes fast enough for his growing number of
customers - and he charges more than £300 for a pair! Customers travel hundreds of kilometres
to his London shoe clinic or to his workshop in the countryside to have their feet measured. He
makes shoes for people with feet of unusual sizes: very large, very small, very broad or very
narrow. The shoes are at least as fashionable as those found in ordinary shops.
Mr Bird says: 'My problem is that I cannot find skilled workers. Young people all seem
to prefer to work with computers these days. We will lose the necessary skills soon because
there are fewer and fewer shoemakers nowadays. I am 45, and now I want to teach young
people everything I know about making shoes. It's a good job, and a lot of people want to buy
beautiful shoes specially made for them.'
He started in the business 19 years ago and now he employs three other people. His
customers pay about £500 for their first pair of shoes.

There is no way to measure the value of reading, but we know that books educate and
bring great pleasure to people. Many book lovers even join discussion groups so that they can
talk about the books they read. Although books are made into movies, the book version is
much better. Books are available to everyone at no cost. Public libraries are an American
tradition and every library has a large collection of books on every subject. Reading can
prepare you for an examination at school, or, if you are writing a report, you can gather facts
from a recent edition of an encyclopedia. At your job, reading can helps you get a promotion to

Language, the way we express ourselves, is a vital part of learning. A baby learns his
native tongue naturally by hearing speech around him. If the speech he hears is rapid, not clear
and never directed at him then he learns slowly and speaks badly. A child of two or three who
can't make his desires known or put his thoughts into words will usually become angry. His
relationships with other get worse.
a. How is language defined by the writer?

b. How does a baby learn his mother tongue?

If you want to take the whole family on holiday, and keep everybody happy, then I have
found just the place for you. I recently went with a group of friends to stay at the Greenwood
Holiday Village, which is open from May until October.
Built in the centre of a forest, Greenwood is a great place to stay whatever the weather.
Its main attraction for families is the indoor World of Water, where young and old can have
fun in the different pools. Some of these, however, are for serious swimmers only.
For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash and badminton. If your
children are too young to join in these sports, there are activity clubs. Greenwood is a good
place for families as it is traffic-free - you explore on foot or by bike. Some people complained
that this was inconvenient, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh air. For evening
entertainment, there are shows and cinemas.
Accommodation is in a variety of apartments of different sizes. These have up to four
bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a dining area.

MARIA MUTOLA
Former 800 metres Olympic champion
In 1988, Maria Mutola was playing football as the only girl in an all-boys team in a
local competition in Mozambique. 'We won/ she said. 'At first no one thought it was a problem
that I was a girl. But then the team we beat complained.'
The story appeared in a local newspaper and José Craveirinha, who had encouraged
other African athletes, learnt about Maria. He went to meet her and found her kicking a ball
around outside the football club. He realised immediately that she was fast. 'He talked to me
about athletics. I had no idea what he meant. The only sport I knew about was football. Then
he bought me running shoes and took me training. It was such hard work and my legs really
ached. But José visited her parents and persuaded them she could be successful and this would
help end their poverty. They agreed to let him take her away to train.
In 1991, she finally accepted an invitation to train in the United States. She had refused
previously because she knew she would miss her family. Her background was unlike those of
the girls she met in the US. She explains, 'They were good athletes but, while I worried about
my parents having enough to eat, they worried about dresses and make-up. They knew very
little about me and even less about my problems.

ROCK BAND
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday.
At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. 'It's better than watching
television or playing computer games in my free time,' Ben argued, 'and it'll keep me out of
trouble.'

In the end we gave in. 'All right,' we said, 'but you must consider the rest of the family
and the neighbours when you play.'
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport,
the other members of Ben's band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other
electrical equipment. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their
instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising,
my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that, although their music may
sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their
musical skill - after all I didn't expect my parents' generation to like the same music as I did
when I was a teenager - but they do play regularly in local clubs for young people.
