foot-high American Falls on the U. S. side of the river in the state of New York. Approximately 85 percent
of the water that goes over the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over American
Falls.
Most visitors come between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take a steamer out
onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a close-up view. It is also possible to get a spectacular
view of the falls from the strategic locations along the Niagara River, such as Prospect Point of Table Rock,
or from one of the four observation towers which have heights up to 500 feet.
Tourists have been visiting Niagara Falls in large numbers since the 1800's; annual visitation now
averages above 10 million visitors per year. Because of concern that all these tourists would inadvertently
destroy the natural beauty of this scenic wonder, the State of New York in 1885 created Niagara Falls Park
in order to protect the land surrounding American Falls. A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park
on the Canadian side of the Niagara, around Horseshoe Falls. With the area surrounding the falls under the
jurisdiction of government agencies, appropriate steps could be taken to preserve the pristine beauty of the
area.

Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture. Culture is
the framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals. Culture plays a part in the
meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and parents.

Trang 14
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture affects the
roles that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a couple have, the meaning
of divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way parents raise children. Understanding how
relationships and marriages vary across cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify
the unique ways that marriages and family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to
help families and sustain happy marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural background,
visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the different habits and ways of
doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are all very exciting indeed. What of the
disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship with someone from another country or cultural
background? No matter how much you love your husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross
cultural awareness, cross cultural communication and respect for differences. Misunderstanding seems to be
unavoidable.

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 from 43 to 50.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is
useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have
evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the
eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research
on emotional expressions has centered on such questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the
same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal
emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example,
signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina,
Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the
Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at
least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however,
huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display
rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially
negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless
of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior. From their first
days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to facial
expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This
evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human
emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to
appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry
different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by
sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise.
Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean
embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.

The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are

with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean
different things in different countries.
If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to
say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your
fingers at someone is very rude.
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in your
pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes
to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left
hands when going to the bathroom.
In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in
India, whistling in public is considered rude.
In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that
you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means ‘everything is good’ in the

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from
anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and
plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you
don't know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in
tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon
covers 1. 2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western
Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific
Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our
planet" because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water is also

Trang 43
found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live
in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples,
bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent
of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are
even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it's surprising to find that
we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1. 5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every
second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for
farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems
worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.

answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Living abroad does not only require learning a new language, but also adapting to a foreign culture. Each
culture have its customs and traditions which can be very different- even shocking- from your own culture. In a
country like Germany, you will see people knocking on their table rather than clapping to applaud at the end of
a master class or a really good meeting. In Beer-land clapping is reserved for theater and concerts. Talking
about beer, if you want to respect German customs, don’t forget to clink glasses and say Prost very single time
you start a new beverage. And make eye contact to your fellow toasters, otherwise it is said that you will suffer
bad sex relations for the next 7 years. Germans are quite organized people but there are times when the reality
really doesn’t match the expectation.
Spaniards, in other hand, are well-known for being loud and friendly. If you happen to visit Spain, don’t be
surprised if a girl kisses you twice - once on one cheek and once on the other cheek- to introduce herself. It’s the
Spanish way of saying “Hello!”. French people tend to enjoy a cheese tasting plate accompanied by a good red
wine after meals, so when you stay with them, make sure to spare some space in your stomach for the dessert,
and remember: if you are drinking a red wine and want to change to white wine, please don’t pour it in the same
glass without cleaning it beforehand, if you don’t want to be the laughingstock of the party. Italians are very
superstitious and for them, nuns and ambulances are associated with death. So if you plan to spend your
holidays in Italy and you bump into one of them, don’t hesitate and bless yourself with the sign of the Cross…
Just in case!
In some Asian countries such as China, Korea or Japan, a sign of approval and appreciation of someone’s
cooking is to slurp the soup loudly - what is considered rude in most western countries. However,
in Japan, don’t blow your nose loudly! It is considered very rude. So if you need to clean your nose while you
are in the Land of the Rising Sun, do it in privately or turn your back to your companions before doing it. And
remember, do it quietly if you want to avoid offending anyone. If you are looking for a job in Ireland, the UK or
the US, remember not to add personal data in you CV (date of birth, sex, marital status or even a profile
picture). Equal opportunity legislation in these countries requires employers to recruit based on merit alone, and
emitting these data enables organisations to choose candidates fairly. These are some amazing cultural facts
driven by external factors such as religion, idiosyncrasy or even geography, which determine the way people
behave. Because…to sum up: we are all human beings, but our lifestyles are exceptionally diverse.

Stabile, a science professor at La Sapienza University, claims to have stumbled on the earliest known example

northern Europe, where it came to represent 'at the price of’, its contemporary accountancy meaning.
Professor Stabile believes that Italian banks may possess even earlier documents (26) the symbol lying
forgotten in their archives. The oldest example could be of great value. It could be used (27) publicity purposes

The relationship between Britain and the US has always been a close one. Like all close relationships it has had
difficult times. The US was first a British colony, but between 1775 and 1783 the US fought a war to become
independent. The US fought the British again in the War of 1812.
In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than to any other country, and their foreign
policies have shown this. During World War I and World War II, and more recently in the Gulf War and the
Iraq War, Britain and the US supported each other. When the US looks for foreign support, Britain is usually the
first country to come forward and it is sometimes called ‘the 51st state of the union’.
But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared political interests. An
important reason for the friendship is that the people of the two countries are very similar. They share the same
language and enjoy each other’s literature, films and television. Many Americans have British ancestors, or
relatives still living in Britain. The US government and political system is based on Britain’s, and there are
many Anglo-American businesses operating on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain some people are worried
about the extent of US influence, and there is some jealousy of its current power. The special relationship was
strong in the early 1980s when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister in Britain and Ronald Reagan was
President of the US.
(Adapted from Background to British and American Cultures)

the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984, in New York, into a prosperous, professional family. He developed an
interest in computers at an early age and when he was twelve, created a messaging program which he named
"Zucknet". His dentist father used it in his surgery so that his receptionist could inform him of the arrival of a
patient without yelling across the room. Together with his friends, Mark spent much of his spare time as a boy
designing and making computer games just for fun.
In 2002, Mark enrolled at Harvard University. By his second year at the institution, he had acquired a reputation
on the campus as a developer of software. It was at that time he invented "Facemash" which compared pictures
of female students and allowed users to vote on which one was the most attractive. The program became very
popular on campus, but was later shut down by the university authorities who deemed it 'inappropriate'.
Based on the buzz of "Facemash", three of Mark's fellow students, Divya Narendra, and twins, Cameron and
Tyler Winklevoss, asked him to work with them on an idea for a social networking site called "Harvard
Connection". This site was designed to use information from Harvard's student networks to create a dating site
for the university's elite. Mark was initially enthusiastic about the complex project but boredom soon set in and
he backed out of it to work on his own social networking site. He created a site that allowed users to produce
their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other people beyond the confines of the university. He

Trang 58
called the site "Facebook" and he operated from one small college room until June 2004 when he finally
abandoned his studies to devote himself fully to Facebook and moved the company to California.
By the end of 2004, Facebook had one million users and Mark was climbing high. However, in 2006, the multi-
millionaire business mogul faced his first big hurdle. The creators of Harvard Connection claimed that he had
used their idea, and insisted that he should compensate them for their business losses. Mark maintained that the
ideas were based on two very different types of social networks but, after lawyers searched his records,
incriminating emails revealed that he may have intentionally stolen the intellectual property of his former
partners. Although an initial settlement of $65 million was reached between the two parties, the legal dispute
over the matter continued well into 2011, after the Harvard Connection creators claimed they were misled with
regards to the value of the Facebook stock.
Since amassing his sizeable fortune, Mark has used his millions to fund a variety of philanthropic causes. He
has put lots of money into the deteriorating schools system in deprived parts on New York and he actively
encourages other wealthy, young entrepreneurs to follow his example and put back something into society.

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 from 3 to 7.
The walnut tree produces wood that is used for countless purposes, and is considered the finest wood in the
world. The wood is easy to work with, yet it is very hard and durable—and when it is polished, it produces a
rich, dark luster. It also shrinks and swells less than any other wood, which makes it especially desirable for
fine furniture, flooring, and even gun stocks.
In fact, just about every part of the walnut is unusually hard and strong. The nut of the tree is encased inside
a very hard shell, which itself is enclosed in a leathery outer covering called a husk. It requires real effort to
break through those layers to get at the tasty meat inside.
Yet every part of the walnut is useful to people. The outer husk produces a dark reddish stain that is hard to
remove from the hands of the person, who opens the nut, and this pigment is widely used in dyes and wood
stains. The inner shell is used as an abrasive to clean jet engines. And the meat of the nut is extensively used
in cooking, ice cream, flavorings—and just eaten raw.
Walnut trees exude a chemical into the soil near their roots which can be poisonous to some trees and shrubs.
Fruit trees, for example, will not survive if planted too close to a walnut. Many other plants, such as maple
trees or ivy, are not affected by the walnut’s presence, and are well-suited to grow in its vicinity.

A. walnut tree B. walnut wood C. furniture D. flooring
Question 4: The walnut tree is believed to produce ______
A. the best wood in the world B. the most delicious meat for cooking
C. poisonous roots for people D. some plants such as maple trees or ivy
Question 5: As used in the passage, the underlined word “pigment” most nearly means ______
A. colour B. meat C. fruit D. fragrance
Question 6: According to the passage, which statement is NOT true about walnut trees?
A. walnut trees can poison some vegetation. B. people should make full use of every part of walnut trees.
C. people should grow walnut trees if possible. D. maple trees cannot co-exist with walnut trees.
Question 7: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Walnut trees are valuable when planted correctly B. Maple trees grows well with walnuts

The cities in the United States have been the most visible sponsors and beneficiaries of projects that place art
in public places. They have shown exceptional imagination in applying the diverse forms of contemporary
art to a wide variety of purposes. The Line activities observed in a number of “pioneer” cities sponsoring art
in public places – a broadening exploration of public sites, an increasing awareness among both sponsors
and the public of the varieties of contemporary artistic practice, and a growing public enthusiasm – are
increasingly characteristic of cities across the country. With many cities now undergoing renewed
development, opportunities are continuously emerging for the inclusion or art in new or renewed public
environments, including buildings, plazas, parks, and transportation facilities. The result of these activities is
a group of artworks that reflect the diversity of contemporary art and the varying character and goals of the
sponsoring communities.
In sculpture, the projects range from a cartoonlike Mermaid in Miami Beach by Roy Lichtenstein to a small
forest planted in New York City by Alan Sonfist. The use of murals followed quickly upon the use of
sculpture and has brought to public sites the work of artists as different as the realist Thomas Hart Benton
and the Pop artist Robert Rauschenberg. The specialized requirements of particular urban situations have
further expanded the use of art in public places: in Memphis, sculptor Richard Hunt has created a monument
to Martin Luther King, Jr., who was slain there; in New York, Dan Flavin and Bill Brand have contributed
neon and animation works to the enhancement of mass transit facilities. And in numerous cities, art is being
raised as a symbol of the commitment to revitalize urban areas.
By continuing to sponsor projects involving a growing body of art in public places, cities will certainly
enlarge the situations in which the public encounters and grows familiar with the various forms of
contemporary art. Indeed, cities are providing artists with an opportunity to communicate with a new and
broader audience. Artists are recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces, and taking that
into account when executing their public commissions. They are working in new, often more durable media,
and on an unaccustomed scale.

answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.
The walnut tree produces wood that is used for countless purposes, and is considered the finest wood in the
world. The wood is easy to work with, yet it is very hard and durable—and when it is polished, it produces a
rich, dark luster. It also shrinks and swells less than any other wood, which makes it especially desirable for
fine furniture, flooring, and even gun stocks.
In fact, just about every part of the walnut is unusually hard and strong. The nut of the tree is encased inside
a very hard shell, which itself is enclosed in a leathery outer covering called a husk. It requires real effort to
break through those layers to get at the tasty meat inside.
Yet every part of the walnut is useful to people. The outer husk produces a dark reddish stain that is hard to
remove from the hands of the person, who opens the nut, and this pigment is widely used in dyes and wood
stains. The inner shell is used as an abrasive to clean jet engines. And the meat of the nut is extensively used
in cooking, ice cream, flavorings—and just eaten raw.
Walnut trees exude a chemical into the soil near their roots which can be poisonous to some trees and shrubs.
Fruit trees, for example, will not survive if planted too close to a walnut. Many other plants, such as maple
trees or ivy, are not affected by the walnut’s presence, and are well-suited to grow in its vicinity.
Question 46: The underlined word “It” in the first paragraph refers to _______
A. furniture B. flooring C. walnut wood D. walnut tree
Question 47: The walnut tree is believed to produce ______
A. some plants such as maple trees or ivy B. the most delicious meat for cooking
C. the best wood in the world D. poisonous roots for people
Question 48: As used in the passage, the underlined word “pigment” most nearly means ______
A. fragrance B. meat C. colour D. fruit
Question 49: According to the passage, which statement is NOT true about walnut trees?
A. maple trees cannot co-exist with walnut trees. B. people should make full use of every part of walnut trees.
C. walnut trees can poison some vegetation. D. people should grow walnut trees if possible.

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 .
The cities in the United States have been the most visible sponsors and beneficiaries of projects that place art
in public places. They have shown exceptional imagination in applying the diverse forms of contemporary
art to a wide variety of purposes. The Line activities observed in a number of “pioneer” cities sponsoring art
in public places – a broadening exploration of public sites, an increasing awareness among both sponsors
and the public of the varieties of contemporary artistic practice, and a growing public enthusiasm – are
increasingly characteristic of cities across the country. With many cities now undergoing renewed
development, opportunities are continuously emerging for the inclusion or art in new or renewed public
environments, including buildings, plazas, parks, and transportation facilities. The result of these activities is
a group of artworks that reflect the diversity of contemporary art and the varying character and goals of the
sponsoring communities.
In sculpture, the projects range from a cartoonlike Mermaid in Miami Beach by Roy Lichtenstein to a small
forest planted in New York City by Alan Sonfist. The use of murals followed quickly upon the use of
sculpture and has brought to public sites the work of artists as different as the realist Thomas Hart Benton
and the Pop artist Robert Rauschenberg. The specialized requirements of particular urban situations have
further expanded the use of art in public places: in Memphis, sculptor Richard Hunt has created a monument
to Martin Luther King, Jr., who was slain there; in New York, Dan Flavin and Bill Brand have contributed
neon and animation works to the enhancement of mass transit facilities. And in numerous cities, art is being
raised as a symbol of the commitment to revitalize urban areas.
By continuing to sponsor projects involving a growing body of art in public places, cities will certainly
enlarge the situations in which the public encounters and grows familiar with the various forms of
contemporary art. Indeed, cities are providing artists with an opportunity to communicate with a new and
broader audience. Artists are recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces, and taking that
into account when executing their public commissions. They are working in new, often more durable media,
and on an unaccustomed scale.

The Native American peoples of the north Pacific Coast created a highly complex maritime culture as they
invented modes of production unique to their special environment. In addition to their sophisticated technical
culture, they also attained one of the most complex social organizations of any nonagricultural people in the
world.
In a division of labor similar to that of the hunting peoples in the interior and among foraging peoples
throughout the world, the men did most of the fishing, and the women processed the catch. Women also
specialized in the gathering of the abundant shellfish that lived closer to shore. They collected oysters,
crabs, sea urchins, mussels, abalone, and clams, which they could gather while remaining close to their
children. The maritime life harvested by the women not only provided food, but also supplied more of the
raw materials for making tools than did fish gathered by the men. Of particular importance for the native tool
than did the fish gathered by the men. Of particular made from the larger mussel shells, and a variety of
cutting edges that could be made from other marine shells.
The women used their tools to process all of the fish and marine mammals brought in by the men. They
cleaned the fish, and dried vast quantities of them for the winter. They sun-dried fish when practical, but in
the rainy climate of the coastal area they also used smokehouses to preserve tons of fish and other seafood
annually. Each product had its own peculiar characteristics that demanded a particular way of cutting or
drying the meat, and each task required its own cutting blades and other utensils.
After drying the fish, the women pounded some of them into fish meal, which was an easily transported food
used in soups, stews, or other dishes to provide protein and thickening in the absence of fresh fish or while
Trang 1/4- Mã Đề 913
on long trips. The women also made a cheese-like substance from a mixture of fish and roe by aging it in

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 from 18 to 22.
Football, or soccer in the U.S., dates back to 2500 B.C.E with the Chinese game of tsu chu. The sport we
know today originated from Britain. Today, more than 120 million players over the global participate in the
game, making soccer the world’s sport.
So, why is soccer so popular? Maybe it’s the feeling that the team on the field is your team; their win is your
victory, and their loss is your defeat. Or maybe it is the game’s international quality. In countries like France,
England, Spain, Brazil, major teams have players from many different nations, and these clubs now have
fans all over the world. Or perhaps it’s the promise of great wealth. A number of professional soccer players,
including Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o and Portugal’s Cristiano Rolnado, come from poor families. Today,
both of these players make millions of euros every year.
However, ultimately, the main reason for its universal appeal may be this: it’s a simple game. It can be
played anywhere with anything – a ball, a can, or even some bags tied together. And anyone can play it.
In the mid – 1800s, European colonists brought the game to Africa. Early matches were first played in the
South African cities of Cape Town in 1862: Today, some of the game’s best players come from African
