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 that follow.
Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website called HappyNews.
The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world. Reese said about HappyNews, "The news media gives you a misleading view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery, and despair. We're trying to balance out the scale."
Not everyone agrees with Reese's view, though. Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need toknow about issues or problems in today's society. Then people are better able tomake informed decisions about things that affect their daily lives. Reese said that HappyNews is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. HappyNews is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today's world.
By the end of its first month online, HappyNews had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60 percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes HappyNews different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, HappyNews gets fan mail from its readers on a daily basis. (Adapted from Reading Challenge 1, Casey Malarcher & Andrea Janzen, Compass Publishing, 2010) Câu 36. According to the third paragraph, why might some people NOT like HappyNews?
B. The stories are from around the world.
A. Reese's stories are about misery and despair. C. It doesn't tell them about important issues or problems. D. Some sources give a balanced view. Câu 37. The word "that" in third paragraph refers to
. D. lives C. things
A. decisions B. people Câu 38. The word "exaggerating " as used in the second paragraph could be best replaced by ___________. A. overstating B. explaining C. interpreting D. hiding
Câu 39.What could be the best title of the passage? A. Byron Reese Tells People How to Be Happy C. Newspapers vs. Online News B. Good News for a Change D. Why Women Like HappyNews Câu 40. One thing that makes HappyNews special is that ____________.
A. it has much more fans than others. C. it is older than other online news websites. B. its readers come from a unique status. D. it receives its readers' responses every day.
Câu 41. According to the last paragraph, which of the following is NOT true about HappyNews after its first month online?

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 that follow.
Visit schools anywhere in the world, and you will probably notice a number of similarities. There are students, teachers, books, blackboards, and exams everywhere. However, a school system in one country is not identical to the system in any other country. It cannot be exactly the same because each culture is different. The educational system is a mirror that reflects the culture. Look at the school system, and you will see the social structure and the values of its culture.
BRITAIN In the UK, the educational system reflects the class system. All state schools primary, secondary, and university are free, and the first nine years are egalitarian; all students learn the same material. At age 11, students take an important national exam. After this, they attend one of three possible secondary schools: college preparatory, vocational (for job training), or comprehensive (with both groups of students). However, 6% of British students attend expensive private schools. These are students from upperclass families. Half of the students at Oxford and Cambridge universities come from such expensive secondary schools. It might seem that anyone can afford to go to a university because all universities are free, but only 1% of the lower class goes to university. Because graduates from good universities get the best job, it is clear that success is largely a result of one's social class.
THE UNITED STATES
.
Education in the US is available to everyone, but not all schools are equal. Public primary and secondary schools are free for everyone; there is no tuition. Almost 80% of all Americans are high school graduates. Students themselves decide if they want collegepreparatory or vocational classes in high school; no national exam determines this. Higher education is not free, but it is available to almost anyone, and about 60% of all high school graduates attend college or university. Older people have the opportunity to attend college, too, because Americans believe that "you're never too old to learn." On the other hand, there are also problems in U.S. schools. In many secondary schools, there are problems with lack of discipline and with drugs and crime. In addition, public schools receive their money from local taxes, so schools in poor areas receive less money. As a result, they don't have enough good teachers or laboratory equipment, and the buildings are often not in good condition. Clearly, U.S. education reflects both the best and the worst of the society. (Adapted from Interactions 2 Reading, Pamela Hartmann & Elaine Kirn, Mc Graw Hill) Câu 43. The word "determines" as used in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to
D. requires
A. decides B. recommends C. demands Câu 44.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Social Structure and Values B. Similarities between the UK and the US Educational Systems C. Cultural differences between the US and UK D. Education A Reflection of Society
Câu 45. The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to _____________ . C. public schools A. good teachers B. poor areas D. local taxes

A. Most university students in the US are from the upper social class. B. Public schools in the US are financially dependent on local taxes. C. A national examination determines which secondary school students go to. D. Public schools and universities are free for everyone.
Câu 47. According to the second paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about the UK educational system?
A. Students in expensive private schools are from upperclass families. B. There are three types of secondary schools: college preparatory, vocational and comprehensive. C. Students have to pay tuition fees if they go to a state university. D. Very few students from the lower class continue to attend university.
