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. 1. One custom that gives insight into people’s history and values is the way they greet one another. There is a wide range of greetings around the world. These range from the common handshake to other strange rituals found in some countries. Let’s take a look at how the simple action of greeting someone differs greatly from place to place. In the United States and Canada, for example, a simple handshake or nod is the norm. The handshake has an interesting origin: it started long ago as a way of showing people that you weren’t carrying a weapon. Shaking the person’s right hand while looking him or her in the eye is the usual method. Handshakes are also common in other parts of the world, including Britain and Russia. In Russia, males grasp other men’s hands very strongly during the handshake. Handshakes are also how most people in New Zealand greet each other. However, the native Maori people of that country display more physical contact: they press their noses together in a sign of trust and closeness. In other countries, such as France and Belgium, hugging and kissing are more common when two people meet. In those cultures, people kiss each other on the cheeks. The number of times varies depending on the particular country. In Saudi Arabia, men might hug and kiss each other (but not a woman) on the cheek. Men will also shake hands with other men there. In some Eastern countries, including Korea and Japan, bowing is the traditional greeting. In Japan, the deeper the bow, the deeper the respect shown. The strangest custom, though, is likely in Tibet. People there opt to stick out their tongue to greet others. 1. What is this reading mainly about ? A. The importance of handshakes all around the worldB. The origins and histories of various greetings C. The strangest types of greetings on Earth.D. The wide range of greeting customs in the world 2. Which of the following sentence is TRUE ? A.

By pressing noses together C. With a kiss on the cheek D. By sticking cut their tongue 4. Which type of country is NOT mentioned in the reading ? A. A North American country B. A European country C. A South American country D. An Asean country 5. What can be inferred about getting customs in Saudi Arabia ? A. Men shake hands with women when meeting them for the first time B. It’s not proper for men to kiss women when they meet C. Women do not kiss other women when they meet D. Women can kiss men, but men can’t kiss women when they meet. 2. Livestreaming to sell products proved its effectiveness in a campaign to sell lychees in Bắc Giang, a northern province of Vietnam. During the 4th wave of COVID-19 in Vietnam, this province took a flexible approach to boost its lychee sales while at the same time being the epicenter of the pandemic. In early June 2021, Sendo, an e-commerce platform, live-streamed two Bắc Giang farmers who led more than 30,000 viewers on a virtual tour of their lychee orchards and succeeded in selling 8 tons of fresh lychees in a short period. Before that, the Vosco e-commerce platform also assisted farmers in selling agricultural products by utilizing live streaming. Vosco sent their teams to guide farmers on how to take photos of the products, write marketing content, live stream, and sell them on the Vosco platform. Livestreaming has emerged as a new direction for Vietnamese farmers. Thanks to this new sales channel, Vietnamese farmers can control the output of their agricultural products, and the country could potentially have a new billion-dollar industry. However, turning livestreaming into an economic industry requires a lot of work. Firstly, Vietnam needs professional streamers who know how to combine entertainment and sales. It also needs platforms that can support millions of visitors at once and software specifically designed to facilitate interactions between streamers and viewers. This is a huge opportunity for Vietnamese technology companies. 1. What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of livestreaming as a channel to sell agricultural products? A.

Public libraries are accessible to the general public and usually funded by public sources. There are some features that all public libraries have in common. Firstly, they are usually financed by taxes. Secondly, they are managed by a board to ensure they serve the public interest. Thirdly, they are open to all people and provide basic services free of charge. Public libraries play an integral part in modern society as they help to promote literacy, provide a great variety of books for readers of all ages, and serve as hubs for community information.

Public libraries differ from research or school libraries in that they cater to the general public’s reading needs rather than focus on the needs of one specific school or academic community. Free services offered by public libraries include quiet study spaces for children, students, and adults, access to computers and the internet, and book clubs to promote appreciation of literature among the public. Generally, public library users are allowed to borrow books and materials for a short time. However, public libraries can also have non-circulating reference collections that can only be read on the premises and not borrowed. 1.

On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils, Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available - but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter. Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people – often rather frightening-looking people - and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils. 1.According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that _____________.

5. Electronic devices are becoming increasingly common in educational environments. The term most commonly used for such devices is "educational technology". This is not actually a new idea, as the rewritable wax tablets, often with lined surfaces to guide novice writers used in antiquity or the blackboard itself are both instances of technological innovations to support pedagogy. There are many different ways in which electronic devices are used in education. For example, students in STEM (science, technology, engineering medicine) fields have been making extensive use of sophisticated calculators for many years (the abacus and slide rule were non-electronic predecessors to calculators). In humanities as well as sciences, students use computers or equivalent devices to do research and write papers. In all fields, courses are now likely to have websites, and many instructors use course management software such as Blackboard, to post information for students, record grades, set up online discussions, and check for plagiarism. In lecture classes, many instructors project slides or notes on a screen and may even upload lecture notes so that students can review them. Some courses are hybrid, meaning that have a strong online component, or offered entirely online. Many courses taught in conventional lecture halls are streamed online, and may use devices such as clickers to become more interactive. Any device (including tablets or cell phones) that instructors incorporate into a learning environment functions as educational technology. 1. The passage mainly discusses ____. A. how some electronic devices are used in education B. how to use electronic devices in the classroom C. what is the best electronic device used in education D. which electronic device will be used as the textbooks 2.
