Members of the royal family have led an outpouring of tributes from around the world at the
death of Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Buckingham Palace has spoken of the
Queen’s “deep sorrow” after her husband of 73 years, who had been by her side throughout her
reign, died peacefully at Windsor Castle aged 99 on Friday night (Australian time).
Flags at Buckingham Palace and government buildings across the United Kingdom were
lowered to half-mast, and within an hour of the announcement the public began to lay flowers
outside Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. However, mourners have been urged not to
gather and leave tributes at royal residences, and the public has been asked to stay away from
funeral events because of the coronavirus pandemic. An online book of condolence has been
launched on the Royal Family’s official website for people to leave messages of sympathy.
The prince died two months short of his 100th birthday. He had recently spent four weeks in
hospital with an infection where he was treated for a heart condition before being discharged
and returned to Windsor early in March. The Duke of Edinburgh had been by his wife’s side
throughout her 69-year reign, the longest in British history, and during that time earned a
reputation for a tough, no-nonsense attitude, and a propensity for occasional gaffes. A Greek
prince, Philip married Elizabeth in 1947, and together they had four children, eight
grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. He played a key role helping the monarchy adapt
to a changing world in the post-World War II period, and behind the walls of Buckingham

I’m a big fan of film featuring the spy James Bond. I’ve got most of them on DVD.
We’ve recently bought Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel Craig plays the part of Bond. I
don’t know (18) _________ – but it’s a great movie, anyway.

road, and plenty of (23)_________, too – Bond leaping off tall buildings and so on.
Unfortunately, I found the story difficult to follow in places, and it also seemed to be over very

films. And where was all the ridiculous Bond equipment – the underwater car or exploding
watch that everyone laughed at? This is a more serious, darker Bond film, but I still really

When lifestyle changes aren’t enough, the next step may be to take medicine. Your health
care provider can tell you about special drugs for overactive bladder (OAB).3
There are several drug types that can relax the bladder muscle. These drugs, like anti-
muscarinics and beta-3 agonists, can help stop your bladder from squeezing when it’s not full.
Some are taken as pills, by mouth. Others are gels or a sticky transdermal patch to give you the
drug through your skin.

Page 8
 Anti-muscarinics and betta-3 adrenoceptor agonists can relax the bladder muscle and
increase the amount of urine your bladder can hold and empty. Combination drugs, like using
both anti-muscarinics and - betta-3 adrenoceptor agonists together may help control OAB when
one option alone isn’t working.
Your health care providers will want to know if the medicine works for you. They will check
to see if you get relief or if the drug causes problems, known as side effects. Some people get
dry mouth and dry eyes, constipation, or blurred vision. If one drug you try doesn’t work, your
health care provider may ask you to take different amounts, give you a different one to try, or
have you try two types together. Lifestyle changes and medicine at the same time help many
people.
29. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Bladder Stops from Squeezing B. What Option to Control OAB

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of
the question.
Like many emergency responders, Nicholas Groom is used to stress at work. On one hand,
the stress can be helpful. “I find that when attending a serious incident, it helps me to maintain
focus on the situation,” Nicholas Groom said. On the other hand, the work can be highly
pressurised. “Too much stress can impair your ability to make decisions,” he adds. And Groom
is not alone in his complicated relationship with stress.
Many people believe that that there should be a balanced amount of stress. In other words,
not too much stress so you’re not overwhelmed but not too little stress so you don’t feel
unmotivated. After all, some anxiety is motivating; think of the adrenaline before a deadline or
the excitement before a competition. Sports fans sometimes even talk about a “gene” in some
athletes who seem to play best in the decisive final moments of a match. Furthermore, many
psychologists claim that performance in many situations increases with stress up to a point. Of
course, any stress can cause harm when it’s prolonged. To take just one example, a long-term
high heart rate is linked to cardiovascular diseases. And additional stressors, such as financial
pressures or psychiatric issues, clearly affect how beneficially someone can respond to stress.

Page 9
 So is there a way to harness stress to your advantage while being mindful of its
detrimental long-term effects? One key factor is to avoid, whenever possible, the point when
stress leads to mental and physical collapse. Crystal Wernicke, 30, has always used stress as a
motivator. But juggling between parenting, a full-time job, a voluntary role and financial
troubles at the same time became too much and eventually led to a two-month period of illness.
Another factor is the presence of control. For those who feel powerless over their situation,
stress is unlikely to be beneficial. But with some autonomy over stressful tasks, we are better
able to convert that pressure into higher performance.
When it comes to stress and how it affects your performance, it’s helpful to recognise the
variations in personality, type of stress and task that affect the level of pressure you are under, as
well as understanding tools you can use to control and harness that stress. Ultimately, it’s not
helpful to take a one-sided view, either demonising or glorifying stress. As James C Quick, a
management professor at the University of Texas, sums up: “Stress can be the kiss of death as
well as the spice of life.”

34. Which of the following best serves as a title for the passage?
A. Maintaning A Balanced Level Of Stress Can Be Helpful
B. Getting Rid Of Stress Completely Is The Key To Success
C. The Different Types Of Stress-Related Diseases
D. How Prolonged Stress Affects Your Mental Health

A. Excitement before a competition can motivate people.
B. A stressor can have negative impacts if it exists for too long.
C. Financial pressures can encourage us to work harder in life.
D. It is widely believed that a moderate level of stress is the best.
37. The phrase “sums up” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. assumes B. concludes C. predicts D. proposes
38. The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to _______.
A. stress B. incident C. focus D. situation
39. Why was Crystal Vernicke sick for two months?
A. She didn’t have the money to take care of her health.
B. She was stressed out about too many responsibilities.
C. She worked too hard for a very long period of time.
D. She spent time and effort on parenting instead of healthcare.
40. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. People consider emergency responders like Groom to be unusual.
B. Athletes always perform at their best towards the end of a match.
C. There is a limit beyond vượt qua which stress is harmful for one’s mental health.
D. The more stressful the situation, the more powerless people feel when facing it.
