The LED Lighting Revolution
If you have picked up any electronics magazines recently, you have probably heard about LEDs; yet chances
are, you probably don’t realize why they are so special. The truth is that these tiny light bulbs are helping to improve
watches, remote controls, televisions, and a host of other projects.
Diodes are components that enable energy to flow in one direction, while simultaneously blocking the current
from the opposite direction. This is similar to how a valve works on a faucet. If electronic manufacturers require
currents to flow in several directions, then multiple diodes will be included in the circuit design. With LEDs, every
time a current passes through them, a light is emitted.
LED is short for light-emitting diode. Although they have only recently made waves in the past decade or so,
early models have been around since 1962. There are several benefits that LEDs offer when compared to
incandescent or fluorescent lighting. For starters, they have extremely long-life spans in the range of 100,000 hours
even in the toughest conditions. They also require far less energy than other power sources, which can save users
money over the long run. Since LEDs don’t contain moving parts like other bulbs, they can withstand heavy impacts
without getting damaged. Finally, they don’t require any warm-up time so they will instantly light up when switched
on. The only drawback is that they are still a bit more expensive to purchase at the moment.
LEDs were first used on digital clocks, but they have come a long way since then. They have certainly done a lot
to improve TV technology. LED TVs have been a hit because they can be built extremely thin, yet also offer power-
saving benefits. LED TVs also provide a wider range of colour, which allows for more lifelike and vivid images. In the
future, organic LEDs, or OLEDs, will bring additional benefits for viewers. OLEDs are even more flexible than LEDs,
so manufacturers will be able to create bent display screens and lights. Therefore, you will be able to roll up your
living room TV set and pack it in your suitcase. In other words, LED and OLED technology will likely be lighting up
your life for years to come.

Inside a 4D Film
A lot of people think that 3D films are pretty cool. When you watch a 3D film, it sometimes feels like you can
reach out and touch the things that you see. In the future, however, 3D might be replaced by something even more
advanced: 4D.
Trang 2/4 - Mã đề thi 116
What you see in a 4D film is the same as what you see in a 3D film. The screen is the same, and the glasses are
the same. 4D films are different because they don’t use 3D technology. People in the audience also feel physical
things during the films.
Let’s look at a few examples. Let’s say that you are watching a film about earthquakes. If you are watching a 4D
film, maybe your seat will suddenly start to shake. It will feel like you are in the middle of an earthquake, but you are
not. The 4D effects make your seat shake. Or perhaps during the film, one of the characters gives flowers to another
character. The people in the cinema might suddenly smell flowers.
The point of 4D films is to make people feel like they are in the film. When we watch films these days, we only
use two senses: our sense of sight and our sense of hearing. If we use our other senses, the film might feel more
real to us.
4D films already exist. The film Avatar was released everywhere in 3D, but in Korea and Hong Kong, it was also
released in 4D. People who watched Avatar in 4D feel wind and rain. They also smelled smoke from the weapons in
the film, and sometimes their seats moved.
Will 4D replace 3D films? It is possible, but we can’t be sure yet. One problem with 4D films is that it is very
expensive to show them in theaters. Before a theater shows a 4D film, it has to buy a lot of special equipment.
However, 4D films are catching on. Other films shown in 4D include Shrek 4-D, and Iron Man 3.
Question 29: The Phrase “catching on” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ……………
A. arriving already B. becoming popular C. being shown D. getting an advantage
Question 30: What would only happen during a 4D film?
A. You would feel like you could reach out and touch the things that you see.
B. You would wear special glasses.
C. Water would fall on your head.
D. The sound would be very loud.
Question 31: What does the second sentence of the last paragraph mean?
A. We can’t be sure because there are no 4D films yet. B. It might happen, but we don’t know yet.
C. We know that it is not possible. D. We know that it definitely will happen.
Question 32: Which of the following is NOT true about 4D films?
A. They use the same glasses and screens as 3D films B. When you watch them, your seat might shake.
C. Cinemas that show them don’t need special equipment. D. Some have been shown in Hong Kong and Korea.
Question 33: What is one problem with 4D films?
A. They don’t feel real B. They are expensive C. They are a little dangerous. D. Actors don’t like them.
Question 34: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ………..
A. 3D technology B. 4D films C. glasses D. screens
Question 35: What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Some normal films also make people use more than two senses.
B. 4D films use the same technology as 3D films.
C. Special equipment in a theater for 4D films are completely different from those for 3D films.
D. Some films may have both 3D and 4D versions.
Choose the word whose underlined part is pronounced differently from others
Question 36: A. earth B. theater C. thus D. health
Question 37: A. maps B. costs C. calls D. laughs
