WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally, and a bad memory as
something that cannot be changed, but actually (1)______ is a lot that you can do to improve your
memory.
We all remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. This no
doubt explains the reason (2)______ schoolboys remember football results effortlessly but struggle
with dates from their history lessons! Take an active interest in what you want to remember, and
focus on it (3)______. One way to ‘make’ yourself more interested is to ask questions — the more
the better!
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart
(4)______ and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. Exercise
also reduces stress, which is very bad for the memory.
The old saying that “eating fish makes you brainy” may be true after all. Scientists have
discovered that the fats (5)______ in fish like tuna, sardines and salmon — as well as in olive oil —
help to improve the memory. Vitamin-rich fruits such as oranges, strawberries and red grapes are all
good brain food‘, too.
Question 1: A. there B. it C. that D. this
Question 2: A. why B. what C. how D. which
Question 3: A. hardly B. slightly C. consciously D. easily
Question 4: A. degree B. level C. rate D. grade

DREAM JOBS
During our teens, all the pupils at my school had to have a meeting with a ‘careers advisor’ who
only seemed to know about jobs at the local ship-building works. That was fine for (1) _______, but
many of us would have liked to hear about a wider range of opportunities at that time. If only she
had known about the jobs I’ve been researching for this article! It seems there are positions out there
that are almost too good to be true.
Take, for example, the job with the title ‘Ice cream flavour advisor’ for ice cream manufacturer
Frederick’s. Imagine making and tasting ice cream for a living! From the Fredrick’s website I
learned that the people (2) _______ do this job are all chefs and food scientists, and often go on
what they call ‘taste hunts’ where they travel to other countries, trying new foods to get (3) _______
for new products. The website’s home page also states that ‘every ingredient deserves
consideration’, meaning anything from peanuts to potatoes could make it into the next flavour
advisor’s invention. I guess the one (4) _______ of this job could be tasting failed creations.
Another job that seems impossibly wonderful is one for those who dream of living on a remote
island. As the caretaker of a private island in the Maldives, Simon Grainger gets to enjoy fabulous
weather, fishing and boating as part of his job. (5) _______ , he says that while it may sound more
like an extended holiday than work, the responsibilities of the job can be very demanding.
Question 1. A. Any B. none C. some D. little
Question 2. A. whom B. who C. whose D. which
Question 3. A. experience B. income C. inspiration D. advise
Question 4. A. merit B. point C. downside D. purpose
Question 5. A. However B. Moreover C. For instance D. Therefore
A SUCCESS STORY, OR IS IT?
Success, like beauty, lies in the eye of their beholder. How one person chooses to define it can
be very different from how others perceive it. For some people, it’s earning a fortune, while for (1)
_______ it’s working in a voluntary position helping those less fortunate. It’s also relative rather
than absolute because the person who masters a new skill has achieved success in their terms just as
much as the self-made millionaire.
Ironically, there may also be a(n) 2 _______ contradiction in the term. After all, an actress who
has a glamorous life and seems to have everything she wants may actually be troubled by the loss of
her private life as paparazzi (3) _______ her personal space.
It also has something to do with the length of time success lasts. Many young people are happy
with short-term fame but (4) _______ it’s true that reaching that one goal might be comparatively
straightforward, maintaining that success is often much harder. And surely, it’s long-term success
(5) _______ is ultimately the most satisfying and also the most enviable?
Question 1. A. another B. few C. others D. much
Question 2. A. complete B. separate C. individual D. underlying (nguyên nhân, ý tưởng)
Question 3. A. evade B. Invade (xâm lấn, xâm phạm) C. distract D. extract
Question 4. A. despite B. even C. although D. however
Question 5. A. it B. that C. which D. When
GET READY IN FIVE MINUTES
Does this sound like your life? Do you get the feeling that everything is accelerating? Not only
are activities getting significantly quicker, but our assumptions are changing, too.
Take exercise: we used to think that the longer we spent on, say, a pleasurable walk in the
countryside, the more good it did us. Not anymore. The new (1) _______ is for HIIT – short for
High-Intensity Interval Training – (2) _______ just twelve minutes of very intense activity is
supposed to be every bit as beneficial as conventional exercise. Get on that rowing machine and
keep it short and sharp! It’s supposed to get you fitter in a considerably shorter period of time than
conventional exercise routines. Advocates of HIIT training claim that it can burn fat up to 50%
more effectively than low-intensity exercise. They also maintain that it speeds up metabolism and so
makes you burn more calories throughout the day. However, some recent research would appear to
(3) ______ these claims.
(4) _______ have our personalities changed, too? Smartphones allow us to access information
in no time at all. Research demonstrates that 80% of people will not wait more than 30 seconds for a
video to load. A recent survey suggests we now walk 10% faster than we did ten years ago. It seems
we even start to get annoyed after five seconds waiting for the car in front of us to start moving
when the traffic light turns green. Overtime, we come to expect (5) _ to be available infinitely more
quickly than in the past. We have far less patience. We’ve forgotten how to slow down. Welcome to
modern life.
Question 1. A. potential B. leisure C. habit D. fad (mốt, thịnh hành)
Question 2. A. which B. whereby (theo đó, nhờ đó) C. Whereas (trong khi) D. whom

2.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.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get
them going for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these
beverages soon became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink
companies are putting out so-called “energy drinks.” These beverages have the specific aim of
giving tired consumers more energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage
has stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid
replacement drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer’s body
and mind. In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add
vitamins and certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the
body naturally produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these
beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to
show that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person’s energy level. Another
problem is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the
ingredients in energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about
believing all the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things
together, you will get a good result.” However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also
have a negative impact on the body. “We just don’t know at this point,” he says.
Câu 1: The beverages mentioned in the first paragraph aim to give consumers ______.
A. caffeine B. sugar C. more energy D. more choices
Câu 2: The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______.
A. one example B. the company C. Red Bull D. thirst quencher
Câu 3: According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy drink
gives people energy?
A. Natural chemicals in a person‘s body B. The average age of the consumer
C. The number of beverage makers D. The mixture of various ingredients
Câu 4: The word “plausible” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. impossible B. reasonable C. typical D. unlikely
Câu 5: What has Dr. Bauer probably researched?
A. Countries where Red Bull is popular B. Energy drinks for teenage athletes
C. Habits of healthy and unhealthy adults D. Vitamins and chemicals in the body
Câu 6: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.
B. Colas have been on the market longer than energy drinks.
C. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.
D. The makers of Red Bull say that it can revitalize a person.
 What is ‘extreme’ weather? Why are people talking about it these days? ‘Extreme’ weather is
an unusual weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave in the wrong place or at the
wrong time. In theory, they are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are constantly showing
such extreme weather events. Take just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimeters of rain fell on
Rio de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had 33 centimeters of rain in two days and there was
record rainfall in Pakistan.
The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides
followed, burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people.
Meanwhile, other parts of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa
have been hit in the last ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in
Europe. That summer, 35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.
So, what is happening to our weather? Are these extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or
are they caused by human activity and its effects on the Earth‘s climate? Peter Miller says it‘s
probably a mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the most important influences on
weather events are natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Niño
and La Niña, originate in the Pacific Ocean. The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the
atmosphere and affects weather all around the world. On the other hand, the temperature of the
Earth‘s oceans is slowly but steadily going up. And this is a result of human activity. We are
producing greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth‘s atmosphere. This heat warms up the
atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer oceans produce more water vapor – think of heating a pan of
water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat, it produces steam more quickly. Satellite data tells us that
the water vapor in the atmosphere has gone up by four percent in 25 years. This warm, wet air turns
into the rain, storms, hurricanes and typhoons that we are increasingly experiencing. Climate
scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that we need to face the reality of climate change. And we
also need to act now to save lives and money in the future.
Question 1: It is stated in the passage that extreme weather is ______.
A. becoming more common B. not a natural occurrence
C. difficult for scientists to understand D. killing more people than ever before
Question 2: The word “lethal” in the second paragraph probably means ______.
A. far-reaching B. long-lasting C. happening soon D. causing deaths
Question 3: What caused thousands of deaths in 2003?
A. a period of hot weather B. floods after a bad summer
C. a long spell of heavy rain D. large-scale landslides
Question 4: According to the passage, extreme weather is a problem because ______.
A. we can never predict it B. it only affects crowded places
C. it’s often very destructive D. its causes are completely unknown
Question 5: The word “that” in the third paragraph refers to ______.
A. Earth‘s oceans B. human activity C. greenhouse gases D. Earth‘s atmosphere
Question 6: Extreme weather can be caused by ______.
A. satellites above the Earth B. water vapor in the atmosphere
C. very hot summers D. water pans in your kitchen
Question 7: Satellites are used to ______.
A. change the direction of severe storms B. trap greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
C. measure changes in atmospheric water vapor D. prevent climate from changing quickly

Sample writing 1: Muốn trở thành giáo viên
After leaving school, I would like to choose teaching as my career. Teaching is an interesting
career for several reasons. As a teacher I can learn many things, especially if I teach to an
udder-secondaryschool. If I teach History or English, for example, I have to read many
books to make my teaching lessons more interesting to my pupils. Thus, I can acquire
more knowledge of the subjects that I teach than what I can learn from the class text
books. It is indeed afact that a teacher learns a lot from the class text books; but that is
hardly enough to make the teacher’s lessons interesting to pupils.
