Circle the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions.
My city has been changing since the municipal (đô thị ) authority had a plan to renovate(cải tạo) the canal systems.
The project cost a huge amount of money which was from the support of the world bank and the city's budget.
Before the renovation, the canal was the dirtiest place full of rubbish along its sides. Many ramshackle shacks (lán
xiêu vẹo)were built to be shelters of the impoverished working families migrating to this city to earn their living.
Household wastes were directly dumped into the canal, resulting in the very contaminated environment. It was said
that the very unpleasant smell releasing from the canal was unable to be eliminated, and the living condition there
would not be better. However, thanks to the advanced technology and methods as well as the city authority's effort,
everything has been changing. There is no longer the disgusting smell or shabby houses along both sides of the
canal. Instead, the road running parallel to the canal is now full of shade of greenery and the water now is so clean
that it is a friendly habitat for a variety of fish. The residents now can walk or do morning exercise on the
sidewalks along the banks to enjoy the fresh atmosphere. Former inhabitants are also relocated in new apartments
with much better living conditions than before. The canal creates not only a beautiful urban landscape, but also
brings a lot of economic benefits to local dwellers. Because of its reformation, the city is changing fast too.
36. The main topic of the passage is about ______________.
A. the bad condition of the city canal
B. the modern look of the city
C. the change of the city because of the canal renovation D. the reason why the local authority renovates the canal

A. the canal would not become better
B. the canal could be more improved
C. the canal was the best investment for the economic development D. the unpleasant smell is the main pollution

A. They have better living conditions than before. B. The advanced technology contributes to the better changing of their lives.
C. They can go for a walk along the canal without suffering from the unpleasant smell.
D. Many of them still live in shanty houses.

answer to each of the questions.

Except for a few unfortunate individuals, no law in this world can go against the fact that for most of us
our family is an essential part of our lives. The moment you enter this cruel world, where each man is for
himself, there are some near and dear ones out there who will do anything to ensure your happiness.
We are nothing more than a vulnerable and fragile object, without someone taking care of us on our
arrival in this world. Despite all the odds, your family will take care of your well-being, and try their best
to provide you the greatest comforts in the world. No one out there, except your family must forgive the
endless number of mistakes you may make in your life. Apart from teaching you forgive and forget
lessons, they are always there for you, when you need them the most.
Family is the only place where children study a lot after school. In school, teachers teach children about
the subjects which will help them to find a good job in future. But at home, parents teach children about
good habits. They are not only the elements which help the children to shape their personalities but they
also prepare them a sustainable and bright future.

family. If any one of them fail, the whole family may collapse. The good name of the whole family can

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is: don't buy an exercise bike. Typically,
people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them. They are effective if they
are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will find it much easier to go for a
gentle jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You don't
need to buy expensive clothes if you're just going running around the park or on the beach. The main
thing is that they're comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and that's

your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for something that will
support your feet and protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if they are good quality they
will last you a long time. It's always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports
shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do too much at the beginning especially if you haven't had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten
minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase
the amount you do gradually. After a few months you you should hope to be able to run at a reasonable
speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week. It's important that you feel comfortable with
whatever you do. If you do, you'll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel
uncomfortable, you'll probably stop after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any case,
training too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody who exercises for twice as
long or twice as hard as another person doesn't automatically become twice as fit.
123. Which of the following would serve as the best title for the passage?
A. Running shoes
B. Gentle jogging
C. Keeping fit
D. Exercise bikes
124. What is true about the exercise bikes?
A. Exercise bikes do not help you get fit.
B. It is more costly than most other sports.
C. Many people prefer it to gentle jogging.
D. Most people don't use it for very long.
125. The word "determined" in the passage probably means ____.
A. flexible
B. positive
C. confident
D. decisive
126. According to the author, you should ____.
A. spend time and money on fashionable items B. go jogging around a park or on the beach
C. go to sports shop for high quality running shoes
D. keep warm at all
times when you are jogging
127. The word "injury" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. bleeding
B. suffering
C. breaking
D. shocking
128. It is stated in the passage that ____.
A. you should expect to feel much uncomfortable when jogging
B. you should jog three days a week and walk on the other days
C. you won't necessarily be a lot fitter by running twice as fast
D. you are advised to start jogging by walking for ten minutes

A. rapidly
B. effectively
C. smoothly
D. abruptly
130. The word "that" in the passage probably refers to ____.
A. a mixture of walking and running
B. actual jogging at first
