READING COMPREHESION
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Peer Pressure
Mary is walking to her maths lesson. She has got a test, but she feels all right. Suddenly, Dan, the coolest boy in
the class, speaks to her, “Come on!” he says. “Forget maths. Let’s go into town!” Now Mary feels bad. She has
to make a difficult decision. Should she go to maths because that is the right thing to do, or should she take the
chance to be friends with the most popular person in the class?
If you have had an experience like this, don’t worry. It is called peer pressure and it happens to everybody.
However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they
don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be
because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they are just curious
about trying something new. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t want to
do.
It is hard being the only one who says ‘no’, and the question is - how do you do it? Firstly, you must decide
what you believe in. If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents
wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple. Don’t do it. It is your decision, not anybody else’s. You
don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident, and you must be firm. You need to say, “No, thanks.
I don’t want to do that.”(Tommy’s book)
Of course, being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other
peer, or friend, who will say ‘no’ too. Choose your friends carefully. You want friends to support you when you
are in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular
people aren’t always the most trustworthy.
However, peer pressure is not completely negative. You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can
teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. And don’t forget you can tell them
things too and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship
isn’t about feeling depressed. It is about sharing experiences and having fun.
1. What does Dan suggest doing?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Throughout much of the history of human civilization, deep-seated cultural beliefs allowed women only limited
roles in society. Many people believed that women’s natural roles were as mothers and wives. These people
considered women to be better suited for childbearing and homemaking rather than for involvement in the
public life of business or politics. Widespread doubt about women’s intellectual ability led most societies to
deny education, employment and many legal and political rights to women. It was men who controlled most
positions of employment and power in society.
The struggle for women’s rights - the rights that establish the same social, economic, and political status for
women as for men - began in the 18th century during a period known as the Age of Enlightenment. During this
period, political philosophers in Europe began to argue that all individuals, male or female, were born with
natural rights that made them free and equal. These pioneer thinkers advocated that women should not be
discriminated against on the basis of their sex.
Today, although their status varies in different countries, women in most parts of the world have gained
significant legal rights. The most important of these are: the right to have equal work opportunities and pay to
men, the right to vote, and the right to formal education.
1. According to the text, what was the main role traditionally accorded to women?
A. working in education B. building houses
C. taking care of the house and family D. working in factories
th
2. Before the 18 century, what was the attitude of societies towards women’s intellectual ability?
A. respectful B. supportive C. resentful D. disbelieving
3. According to the text, what is the purpose of the struggle for women’s rights?
A. to free women from housework B. to establish a friendly relationship between men and women
C. to bring equality between men and women D. to argue that women have better intellectual ability
4. What do “these pioneer thinkers’” at the end of paragraph 2 refer to?
A. 18th century European people B. 18th century European political philosophers
C. 18th century European women D. 18th century European politicians
5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph as one of women’s legal rights today?
A. the right to hold property B. the right to equal pay
C. equal employment opportunity rights D. the right to vote
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits
each of the numbered blanks.
Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas.
Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such as
business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming
power than men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has
become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and
women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national
socio-economic development. According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development
Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender
equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming
National Assembly members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8. 7%, bringing the proportion of
Vietnamese women in authority to 27. 3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of
literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of university and college
graduates, 19. 9% of doctoral degree holders and 6. 7% of professors and associate professors. (Tommy’s book)
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal
documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender equity"
mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great importance in
modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties. Many projects
on reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various
mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable conditions for
women to become involved.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
SOLAR ENERGY
For 150 years scientists have tried to determine the solar constant, the amount of solar energy that reaches the
Earth. Yet, even in the most cloud-free regions of the planet, the solar constant cannot be measured precisely.
Gas molecules and dust particles in the atmosphere absorb and scatter sunlight and prevent some wavelengths
of the light from ever reaching the ground.
With the advent of satellites, however, scientists have finally been able to measure the Sun's output without
being impeded by the Earth's atmosphere. Solar Max, a satellite from the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), has been measuring the Sun's output since February 1980. Although a malfunction in
the satellite's control system limited its observation for a few years, the satellite was repaired in orbit by
observation from the space shuttle in 1984. Max's observations indicate that the solar constant is not really
constant after all.
Scientists believe these fluctuations coincide with the appearance and disappearance of large groups of
sunspots on the Sun’s disk. Sunspots are relatively dark regions on the Sun’s surface. Particularly large
fluctuations in the solar constant have coincided with sightings of large sunspot groups. In 1980, for example,
Solar Max’s instrument registered a 0.3 percent drop in solar energy reaching the Earth. At that time a sunspot
group covered about 0.6 percent of the solar disk, an area 20 times larger than the Earth’s surface.
Long-term variations in the solar constant are more difficult to determine. Although Solar Max's data have
indicated a slow and steady decline in the Sun's output, some scientists have thought that the satellite's aging
detectors might have become less sensitive over the years, thus falsely indicating a drop in the solar constant.
This possibility was dismissed, however, by comparing Solar Max's observations with data from a similar
instrument operating on NASA's Nimbus 7 weather satellite since 1978.
1. What does this passage mainly discuss?
A. The launching of a weather satellite B. The components of the Earth's atmosphere

D. Nimbus 7 Interfered with Solar Max's detectors.
5. The attempt to describe the solar constant can best be described as_______
A. an ongoing research effort B. an issue that has been resolved
