Computer programmer David Jones earns £ 35, 000 a year designing new computer games, yet he
can't find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two
years, until he is 18.
The 16-year-old boy works for a firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his
age is finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each
month.
But David's highest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned by inventing new
programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he can't drive a car, take out a
mortage, or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father
is a bus driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back
every day because David can't drive.
David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with
six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop." I got the job because the people who run the
firm knew I had already written some programs," he said. David added:" I would like to earn a million
and suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear,"
Câu 35: Why is David different from other young people at his age?
A. Because he lives at home with his parents. B. Because he earns an extremely high salary.
C. Because he doesn't go out much. D. Because he is unemployed
Câu 36: David's greatest problem is ……………………
A. inventing computer games. B. spending his salary.

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 from 44 to 50
Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women , says that this is a
stereotype . According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in private situations , where they
use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that
we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use
more language with their girls . Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters , they use more
descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,
with daughters than with sons.
Câu 44: Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. It’s stereotype that women talk more than men .
B. Little girls and little boys have different ways of playing.
C. Women talk more than men.
D. Women talk more in private , and men talk more in public.

A. men B. situations. C. men and women D. women
Câu 48: Which can be used as a synonym of the word “feelings” ?

Câu 49: Which of the following statements can be inferred from the first paragraph ?

B. Women talk more in some situations, men talk more in others.
C. According to Tannen, the belief that women talk more is partly right but most wrong and
