A UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) is any object flying in the sky which cannot be identified by
the person who sees it. Sometimes the object is investigated. If people can still not figure out what the
object is after an investigation, it is called a UFO. If they figure out what the object is, it can no longer
be called a UFO because it has been identified.
Even though UFOs can be anything, people often use the word UFO when they are talking about alien
spacecraft. Flying saucer is another word that is often used to describe an unidentified flying object.
Studies estimate that 50%-90% of all reported UFO sightings are identified later. Usually 10%-20% are
never identified. Studies also show that very few UFO sightings are hoaxes (people trying to trick other
people). Most UFOs are actually natural or man-made objects that looked strange. 80%-90% UFOs are
identified as one of three different things: astronomical causes (for example:planets, stars, or meteors);
aircraft; balloons. 10%-20% of UFOs are other causes (such as birds, clouds, mirages, searchlights, etc.)

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean
water.Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and
garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have
become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a
rich variety of animals and plants, including 1, 300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the
world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the
lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the government do not have the power to enforce
them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's
water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost 16 countries
regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the
world was limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water
is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something
now.

Different Colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In her new
series ‘Colour me Healthy’, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and
the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are.
‘Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?’ says Verity.
‘Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we
think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products as being a bit disgusting. It’s the
same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect
one that uses pink or orange. People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we
buy.’ During this four-part series, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each
programme.
She meets people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who design food packets,
to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little
scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the American ‘Colour Doctor’ who believes that
serious diseases can be cured by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists
who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new.
But because Verity is goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it’s up to the
viewers to make their own decisions about how much they should believe.
27. What is the writer doing in this text?
A. giving information about how colours influence us
B. reporting what happens in a new television series
C. giving information about a television presenter
D. giving his opinion of a recent television show
28. According to Verity, why is a knowledge of colour important?
A. It can help you to choose the best products. B. It can give you new ideas.
C. It can help you to change people’s minds. D. It can help you to sell products.
29. Who does the writer respect least?
A. Verity Allen B. The people who name lipsticks
C. The ‘Colour Doctor’ D. The scientists who work with mice
30. Which of the following would make a good title for the text?
A. Enjoy it, but don’t believe everything.
B. Another great show from Verity Allen! Five Stars!
C. Don’t miss this if you work in Business!
D. Watch this programme! It will make you healthy!

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 Richter scale is a numerical logarithmic scale developed and introduced by Charles R. Richter
in 1935 to measure the amplitude of the largest trace recorded by a standard seismograph one hundred
kilometers from the epicenter of an earthquake. Tables have been formulated to demonstrate the
magnitude of any earthquake from any seismograph. For example, for a one- unit increase in magnitude,
there is an increase of thirty times in released energy. The Richter scale considers earthquakes of 6. 75
as great and 7. 0 to 7. 75 as major. An earthquake that reads 4 to 5. 5 would be expected to cause
localized damage, and those of magnitude 2 may be left. It is estimated that almost one million
earthquakes occur each year, but most of them are so minor that they pass unnoticed.

How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill
the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are
growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a
dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a
day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean
between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body:milk,
cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits
and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to
our teeth and cause decay.

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.
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a
language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for
letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression.
Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally,
spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally.
A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval,
while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the
fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warm,
and instruct people. While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

seniority. When they passed an object to another person, they had to use both hands. When they entered
a room, they had to bow and greet the oldest person first. Boys learnt to work hard to support their
families. Girls learnt to do housework, and to take care of others. Loyalty and honesty were highly

Education System of Viet Nam in the Past
Because of 1, 000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated a formal

53
education system in Viet Nam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders and declared

54
Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties Ngo and Dinh did not last so long, and were busy
with the national defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, the founder king of the
dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental education system was officially improved. King Ly Thanh Ton
established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage people to
appreciate the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Ton to select
scholars for the office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Viet Nam’s
history, was set up for the education of sons of royalty and other high-ranking officials.
There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy Don,
Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan… The students would only study literature
and ancient history of China, of Viet Nam for entirety of their schooling. Later on, the Public
Administration curriculum was finally added to the programme. When the Ho Royal family ruled the
country, students were taught simple mathematics.
From 1918 to 1945, Viet Nam’s education programme adopted the western education system with

language is officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history, philosophy, law,
