In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children. But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has many other members. This kind of large family is called an “extended family” or a “joint family”. The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother’s or the father’s side of the family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They live together in a large house or in huts built close together. Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order to survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to protect themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies. In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his parents’ home. Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children felt very loyal to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always took care of the old ones. In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family share their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the others help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help and protection. 46. A joint family consists of a mother, a father, and their children. 47. Long time ago, people had to live in joint families in order to survive. 48.

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer. The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups. The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one. 56. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned? a. The traditional American family b. The nuclear family c. The current American family d. The ideal family 57. The writer implies that _____________ . a. there have always been a wide variety of family arrangement in the United States b. racial, ethnic, and religious groups have preserved the traditional family structure c. the ideal American family is the best structure d. fewer married couples are having children 58.

Vietnamese generally shake hands when greeting and parting. Using both hands shows respect, as does a slight bow of the head. In rural areas, elderly people who do not extend their hand are greeted with a slight bow. Women are more likely to bow the head slightly than to shake hands. Vietnamese names begin with the family name and are followed by a, given name. For example, in the name Nguyen Van Due, Nguyen is the family name. People address one another by their given names, but add a title that indicates their perceived relations Hip to the other person. These titles are family related rather than professional.

A basic greeting combined with the given name and title is Xin chao (“Hello.”), Classifiers for gender and familiarity are also combined with the greeting.

Choose the word or phrase - a, b, c or 4- that best fits the blank space in the following passage. It is difficult to write (46) ________that tell exactly when we should apologize, but it is not difficult to learn how. If we have dope something to hurt someone’s feelings, or if we have been impolite or (47) _________ we should apologize. An apology indicates that we ________ realize we have ___________made a (48) _________and we are sorry for it. It is a way of expressing our regret for something. When we apologize. we admit our (49) _________ usually offer a reason for it, and express regret. The simplest way to apologize is to say, ‘I’m sorry,’ but often that is not enough. Let’s take a (50) _________situation. You are late for class and enter the classroom, (51) _________ the teacher in the middle of the lesson. What should you do? The most polite action is usually to take a seat as (52) _________as possible and apologize later. But if the teacher stops and waits for you to say something, you could apologize simply “I’m sorry I’m late”, ask (53) _________ to take your seat, and sit down. Naturally, more than this - a (54) _________for the tardiness - is needed, but this is not the time or the place for it because you have already caused one interruption and don’t need to make it any longer or (55) _________ than it already is. 46. a. rules b. times c. reasons d. examples 47. a. disrespect b. rude c. disappointed d. angry 48. a. decency b. regret c. guilt d. mistake 49. a. cruelty b. blame c. wrongdoing d. comment 50. a. popular b. common c. rude d. general 51. a. interrupting b. holding c. confusing d. breaking 52. a. much b. long c. quietly d. firmly 53. a. allowance b. permission c. acceptance d. approval 54. a. reason c. signal c. compliment d. apology 55. a. better c. best c. worst d. worse B. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer. Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk. Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug. Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me.” or Download Ebook Tai: htts://downloadsachmienhi.com Tron Bo SGK: https://bookgiaokhoa.com “Excuse me.” Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking. If you don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you are stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them. Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing. -If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile. 56. From the passage we can learn that______________ a. gestures don’t mean anything while talking b. gestures can help us to express ourselves c. American people often use body language in communication d. It’s confusing to understand a culture’s body language 57.

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer. Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country. However, this is not necessarily true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country. Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is untrue. In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen, villages inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these characters can be found in British culture, they do not show the real interests of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype - that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical.) What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much false would their impression of other culture be! 46. If we stay a long time in a foreign country,____________ . a. we will sometimes forget about culture of our own country b. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country c. we will usually realize our own ignorance about its culture d. we can seldom find out anything at all about its culture 47.

It can be inferred from the last paragraph that it’s easy to __________________. a. know a lot about your own country’s culture b. know the culture of other countries c. give exact information about your own country d. describe stereotypes of your country 50. Which of the following is true? a. The culture of a foreign country can not be learned by reading books. b. It’s easy to assimilate the culture of a foreign country. c. Visitors to a country are soon assimilated into its culture. d. British people understand their own culture more than other culture.

Read the passage carefully, decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F), and then answer the questions. In Britain, children are required to be in full-time education between the ages of 5 and 16. Different areas of Britain have different school systems. In some areas, children receive their primary education at an infant school and then a junior school, or at a primary school that combines the two. At about 11 they begin their secondary education at a comprehensive school, a grammar school or a high school. In other areas children go to a first school at age 5, a middle school at 8 and an upper school from 13 onwards. Most children go to state schools. Until 1988 these were all responsible to a Local Education Authority (LEA). LEAs obtain their funding from central government and the council tax. In 1988 secondary schools and larger primary schools were encouraged to opt out of LEA control and become grant-maintained. Some children go to independent school run by private organizations, for which their parents have to pay fees. A few go to public schools, such as Eton and Harrow. Younger children may attend a private preparatory school until the age of 13. Some parents may send their children to private schools, even if this is against their principles, because they thinly that their children will receive a better education. The British education system aims to educate the whole person, so that each child develops his or her personality as well as gaining academic knowledge. Most primary and secondary schools offer a range of extra-curricular activities, including sports, music, community service and trips to places of interest. Secondary schools also give careers advice and help students to prepare for having a job by arranging short periods of work experience with local businesses. True or false? 46.

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer. The entire education system in Vietnam is now facing several crises such as out-of-date course curricula, a lecturer-centered method of teaching and learning, research activities separated from teaching activities, a big gap between theory and practice that leads to a large number of graduates being unable to find a job, and the fact that degrees from Vietnamese universities are not recognized worldwide. There is, therefore, a huge demand for quality educational services. Teaching methods delivered in the public school system are very teacher- oriented. You will find that the students are quite studious and very disciplined in the classroom. The more successful students are those who can absorb the given material and transfer the knowledge to their notebooks as in class debate is not entirely welcome in every class. This is a sharp contrast to western classroom settings where participation and challenging of materials has a greater focus. Students are arranged by class number and do not move from classroom to classroom between classes. They also stay together as a small group for their entire elementary, junior high, or high-school levels in one location per grade. The teachers are the ones who float from classroom to classroom making it difficult for the Vietnamese teacher to establish a room of their own. This is where western students develops much needed social skills, whereas the Vietnamese students develop a stronger group bond. The end result though, is the severe shyness in many Vietnamese when introduced to a new group of people and the need to interact. It becomes even more apparent at the university level. 56. According to the passage, the difference between the theory and practice makes _____________. a. an impact on teaching quality b. students feel embarrassed when leaving schools Download Ebook Tai: htts://downloadsachmienhi.com Tron Bo SGK: https://bookgiaokhoa.com c. it clear that degrees from Vietnamese universities are not recognized worldwide d. it difficult for school-leavers to find employment 57.
