Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions.<br />
Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of<br />
payments. Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the<br />
groceries, take place every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen<br />
device. And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have<br />
risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future.<br />
What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of<br />
cash, but more so. It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change<br />
is required, errors in counting are eliminated. Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it<br />
reduces the cost of handling money. Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers, TVs and<br />
games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily without having to input<br />
credit card details.<br />
And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and creditcard firms want to be in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and<br />
contactless-payment systems. But the new system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far<br />
as the banks are concerned. If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made<br />
every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit card statements<br />
but on their mobile phone statements. And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies<br />
and banks do not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether<br />

<br />
banks will miss out and if so, by how much. However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic.<br />
They feel there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing<br />
of the past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street<br />
branches as was predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So,<br />
whether we'll become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention.<br />
Câu 36: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?<br />
A. The increasing popularity of new payment methods.<br />
B. The absence of traditional payment methods.<br />
C. Japan's advanced forms of payment.<br />

B. to inform the e-cash system<br />
C. to criticize the e-cash system<br />
D. to exemplify the e-cash system<br />
Câu 38: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?<br />
A. reduced cost<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions.<br />
One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through<br />
his highly inventive trilogy. The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education<br />
from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo -Saxon<br />
and English language and literature at Oxford University.<br />
Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written<br />
in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and<br />
the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological<br />
phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien.<br />
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but<br />
also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil<br />
kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which<br />
are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans<br />
populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves,<br />
monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled<br />
after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe.<br />
Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the<br />
trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection.<br />
He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to<br />
create mythology and legends about elves and their language.<br />
Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to<br />
create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today.<br />
