Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force
that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of
Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a
Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive.
That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according
to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have
observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference-technology and music-are less emotionally charged than political
issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to
view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older
generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation-clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone
over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values,
work ethic and respect for others.
(Adapted from www.verywellfamily.com)
Question 30. The word "their" in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A. the older generation's B. supervisor's C. the younger generation's D. over-thirty people's
Question 31. The word "divisive" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. agreeing B. disruptive C. funny D. positive
Question 32. According to the passage, which is NOT true?
A. The majority of Americans agree generations' viewpoint to be the major differences.
B. Grandparents feel uncomfortable with their grandchildren because of their better technology skills.
C. Technology is one of the two biggest areas creating the gap between the old and the young.
D. The elderly in America are admired in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.
Question 33. What are the two reasons why large differences between generations don't cause disagreement?
A. The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation.
B. The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation.
C. The major aspects of differences between generations and the respect to the elder generation.
D. The pride of the elder generation and the obedience of the younger one.
Question 34. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. The generation gap in the past was different from that in modern time.
B. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families.
C. The areas of differences in generation gap have changed over the years.
D. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their journey
of life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be traced back from
the Vedic times.
Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called "magni". The couple is blessed
here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the "mehendi" which is a paste made from the
leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and the
name of the groom is also hidden in the design.
On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a
pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as "jaimala". This is followed by "kanyadaan", where
the father of the bride places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner.
Another ritual is the "havan" in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their commitment
to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The "gath
bandhan" takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond. This
signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four "mangal pheras"
or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life: "Dharma", religious and moral duties; "Artha",
prosperity; "Kama" earthly pleasures; "Moksha", spiritual salvation.
The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the "saptapardi". Then the ritual of
"sindoor" takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the bride's forehead and
Trang 5/5 - Mã đề: 145
welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the marriage. The parents of the bride and
the groom then give their blessings, "ashirwad" to the newly wed couple as they touch the feet of their parents.

Question 44. When is the wedding ceremony completed?


A. When the couple touches their parents' feet.
B. When the couple makes seven steps together.
C. When the groom applies a small dot of vermillion of the bride's forehead.
D. When the parents of the bride and the groom give their blessings to the couple.
Question 45. What can the word "hidden" in the second paragraph be best replaced by?

Question 46. What might be the most suitable title for this reading passage?
A. The Hindu wedding B. The Hindu culture C. The Hindu tradition D. The Hindu religion

B. It is entirely a spiritual traditional ritual allowing two individuals to live together.
C. It is just a living-together announcement of two individuals.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force
that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of
Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a
Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive.
That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according
to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have
observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference-technology and music-are less emotionally charged than political
issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to
view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older
generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation-clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone
over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values,
work ethic and respect for others.
(Adapted from www.verywellfamily.com)
Question 8. The word "their" in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A. over-thirty people's B. supervisor's C. the younger generation's D. the older
generation's
Question 9. What are the two reasons why large differences between generations don't cause disagreement?
A. The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation.
B. The pride of the elder generation and the obedience of the younger one.
C. The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation.
D. The major aspects of differences between generations and the respect to the elder generation.
Question 10. The word "divisive" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. disruptive B. positive C. agreeing D. funny
Question 11. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. The generation gap in the past was different from that in modern time.
B. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families.
C. The areas of differences in generation gap have changed over the years.
D. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America.

answer to each of the questions.
The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their journey
of life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be traced back from
the Vedic times.
Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called "magni". The couple is blessed
here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the "mehendi" which is a paste made from the
leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and the
name of the groom is also hidden in the design.
On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a
pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as "jaimala". This is followed by "kanyadaan", where
the father of the bride places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner.
Another ritual is the "havan" in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their commitment
to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The "gath
bandhan" takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond. This
signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four "mangal pheras"
or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life: "Dharma", religious and moral duties; "Artha",
prosperity; "Kama" earthly pleasures; "Moksha", spiritual salvation.
The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the "saptapardi". Then the ritual of
"sindoor" takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the bride's forehead and
welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the marriage. The parents of the bride and
the groom then give their blessings, "ashirwad" to the newly wed couple as they touch the feet of their parents.

Question 37. Why does the couple exchange garlands?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force
that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of
Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a
Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive.
That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according
to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have
observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference-technology and music-are less emotionally charged than political
issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to
view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older
generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation-clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone
over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values,
work ethic and respect for others.
(Adapted from www.verywellfamily.com)
Question 3. What are the two reasons why large differences between generations don't cause disagreement?
A. The pride of the elder generation and the obedience of the younger one.
B. The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation.
C. The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation.
D. The major aspects of differences between generations and the respect to the elder generation.
Question 4. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families.
B. The generation gap in the past was different from that in modern time.
C. The areas of differences in generation gap have changed over the years.

Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called "magni". The couple is blessed
here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the "mehendi" which is a paste made from the
leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and the

On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a
pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as "jaimala". This is followed by "kanyadaan", where
the father of the bride places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner.
Another ritual is the "havan" in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their commitment
to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The "gath
bandhan" takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond. This
signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four "mangal pheras"
or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life: "Dharma", religious and moral duties; "Artha",
prosperity; "Kama" earthly pleasures; "Moksha", spiritual salvation.
The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the "saptapardi". Then the ritual of
"sindoor" takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the bride's forehead and
welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the marriage. The parents of the bride and
the groom then give their blessings, "ashirwad" to the newly wed couple as they touch the feet of their parents.

The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their journey
of life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be traced back from
the Vedic times.
Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called "magni". The couple is blessed
here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the "mehendi" which is a paste made from the
leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and the
name of the groom is also hidden in the design.
On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a
pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as "jaimala". This is followed by "kanyadaan", where
the father of the bride places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner.
Another ritual is the "havan" in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their commitment
to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The "gath
bandhan" takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond. This
signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four "mangal pheras"
or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life: "Dharma", religious and moral duties; "Artha",
prosperity; "Kama" earthly pleasures; "Moksha", spiritual salvation.
The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the "saptapardi". Then the ritual of
"sindoor" takes place where the groom applies a small dot of vermilion, a red powder to the bride's forehead and
welcomes her as his partner for life. This signifies the completion of the marriage. The parents of the bride and
the groom then give their blessings, "ashirwad" to the newly wed couple as they touch the feet of their parents.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force
that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of
Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a
Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive.
That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according
to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have
observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference-technology and music-are less emotionally charged than political
issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to
view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older
generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation-clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone
over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values,
work ethic and respect for others.
(Adapted from www.verywellfamily.com)
Question 43. According to the passage, which is NOT true?
A. The elderly in America are admired in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.
B. Technology is one of the two biggest areas creating the gap between the old and the young.
C. The majority of Americans agree generations' viewpoint to be the major differences.
D. Grandparents feel uncomfortable with their grandchildren because of their better technology skills.
Question 44. The word "their" in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A. the older generation's B. over-thirty people's C. the younger generation's D. supervisor's
Question 45. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families.
B. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America.
C. The areas of differences in generation gap have changed over the years.
D. The generation gap in the past was different from that in modern time.
Trang 5/5 - Mã đề: 349
Question 46. What are the two reasons why large differences between generations don't cause disagreement?
A. The major aspects of differences between generations and the respect to the elder generation.

C. The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation.
D. The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force
that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of
Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a
Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive.
That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according
to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have
observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference-technology and music-are less emotionally charged than political
issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to
view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older
generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation-clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone
over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values,
work ethic and respect for others.

A. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families.
B. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America.
C. The areas of differences in generation gap have changed over the years.
D. The generation gap in the past was different from that in modern time.
Question 4. According to the passage, which is NOT true?
A. Grandparents feel uncomfortable with their grandchildren because of their better technology skills.
B. The elderly in America are admired in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.

D. The majority of Americans agree generations' viewpoint to be the major differences.
Question 5. What are the two reasons why large differences between generations don't cause disagreement?

The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their journey
of life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be traced back from
the Vedic times.
Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called "magni". The couple is blessed
here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the "mehendi" which is a paste made from the
leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and the
name of the groom is also hidden in the design.
On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a
pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as "jaimala". This is followed by "kanyadaan", where
the father of the bride places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner.
Another ritual is the "havan" in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their commitment
to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The "gath
bandhan" takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond. This
signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four "mangal pheras"

prosperity; "Kama" earthly pleasures; "Moksha", spiritual salvation.

The Hindu culture celebrates marriage as a pure and pristine rite enabling two individuals start their journey
of life together. It puts emphasis on the values of happiness, harmony and growth and could be traced back from
the Vedic times.
Months before the wedding ceremony, an engagement is held which is called "magni". The couple is blessed
here with gifts, jewelry and clothes. Another important ritual is the "mehendi" which is a paste made from the
leaves of henna plant. It is the traditional art of adorning the hands and the feet of the bride with mehendi and the
name of the groom is also hidden in the design.
On the day of marriage, the couple exchanges garlands as a gesture of acceptance of one another and a
pledge to respect one another as partners which is known as "jaimala". This is followed by "kanyadaan", where
the father of the bride places her hand in the groom's hand requesting him to accept her as an equal partner.
Another ritual is the "havan" in which the couple invokes Agni, the god of Fire, to witness their commitment
to each other. Crushed sandalwood, herbs, sugar rice and oil are offered to the ceremonial fire. The "gath
bandhan" takes place where scarves of the bride and groom are tied together symbolizing their eternal bond. This
signifies their pledge before God to love each other and remain loyal. The couple then takes four "mangal pheras"
or walk around the ceremonial fire, representing four goals in life: "Dharma", religious and moral duties; "Artha",
prosperity; "Kama" earthly pleasures; "Moksha", spiritual salvation.
The couple also takes seven steps together to begin their journey, called the "saptapardi". Then the ritual of

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force
that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of
Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a
Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive.
That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according
to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have
observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference-technology and music-are less emotionally charged than political
issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to
view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older
generation generally can relate to that desire.
Trang 3/5 - Mã đề: 485
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation-clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone
over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values,
work ethic and respect for others.
(Adapted from www.verywellfamily.com)
Question 17. The word "their" in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A. the older generation's B. the younger generation's C. over-thirty people's D.
supervisor's
Question 18. The word "divisive" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. disruptive B. funny C. agreeing D. positive
Question 19. What are the two reasons why large differences between generations don't cause disagreement?
A. The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation.
B. The major aspects of differences between generations and the respect to the elder generation.
C. The pride of the elder generation and the obedience of the younger one.
D. The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation.
Question 20. According to the passage, which is NOT true?
A. Technology is one of the two biggest areas creating the gap between the old and the young.
B. The majority of Americans agree generations' viewpoint to be the major differences.
C. The elderly in America are admired in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.
D. Grandparents feel uncomfortable with their grandchildren because of their better technology skills.
Question 21. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. The generation gap in the past was different from that in modern time.
B. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families.
C. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America.
D. The areas of differences in generation gap have changed over the years.

answer to each of the questions
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force
that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of
Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a
Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.

Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive.
That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according
to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have
observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference-technology and music-are less emotionally charged than political
issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to
view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older
generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation-clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone
over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values,
work ethic and respect for others.
