You need an income, and then after that you need the survival<br /> skills to take care of yourself without anyone there to support you.<br /> This guide will help prepare you for that transition so that someday you can live<br /> independently.<br /> First, create a support network. We need people to be there for us and to also be honest with<br /> us and tell us how we can improve ourselves. Preferably, this network will extend beyond family<br /> members and include at least one close friend that you trust. Ultimately, when you are living on your<br /> own, you might encounter many obstacles you have never thought of and you will want someone<br /> there to be supportive of you and to help you as you navigate a life of independence.<br /> Second, master your weaknesses. It is a good idea to try and be aware of your weaknesses.<br /> If possible, have your close friends tell you what they feel are your biggest weaknesses. It is also<br /> good to know your strengths, but it is your weaknesses that you need to work on.<br /> Next, learn to balance your schedule: It is important to learn how to do multiple things in a<br /> day. You need to be flexible and willing to schedule time for activities, work, and social<br /> engagements.<br /> Then, live a healthy lifestyle. You should exercise and try to eat healthy. You also have to<br /> maintain your hygiene or you might find yourself out of a job.<br /> Last but not least, living on your own is something that you have to make happen for<br /> yourself. So, decide that is what you want and don’t allow anything to deter you from your goal.<br /> <br /> (http://wrongplanet.net/10-steps-to-become-independent-learning-the-basics-of-essential-life-skills)<br /> Question 28: What is the best title of the passage?<br /> A.

We may think of obstacles and we want someone to be supportive of us.<br /> <br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to<br /> indicate the correct answer to each of the question from 35 to 42.<br /> In 1974, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) tried to encourage developing<br /> countries to develop their own traditional forms of medicine, instead of turning to Western medicine<br /> for expensive cures to medical problems. WHO believed that the people in developing countries who<br /> could not afford or find modern medical doctors were better off using traditional medicine rather than<br /> no medicine at all.<br /> Today, traditional medicine and treatments are not only used in developing countries, but are<br /> increasing in popularity in North America and Europe. The global market for traditional medicines is<br /> estimated to be $60 billion, and growing every year.<br /> Twenty-five percent of modern medicines are made from plants that were first used in<br /> traditional medicine, and scientists believe they have just scratched the surface. For example, one<br /> Chinese herbal remedy, which has been used for two thousand years, has recently been found to be<br /> effective against varieties of malaria that have resistance to other drugs. This herb could end up<br /> saving a million lives a year, mostly among children. In South Africa, another traditional plant is being<br /> used to treat patients with AIDS.<br /> Recognizing the importance of traditional medicines, in 2003 WHO launched a Traditional<br /> Medicine Strategy. Among the recommendations of this strategy, there were several areas of<br /> concern. The first area of concern is safety. WHO recommends more scientific testing on traditional<br /> medicine-not all traditional medicines are as helpful as the two mentioned above, and some can<br /> actually be harmful.<br /> Another area of concern is biodiversity and sustainability. Some people are worried that as<br /> herbal medicines become more popular, the plants that these medicines are made from may become<br /> endangered as they are over-harvested. For example, in eastern and southern Africa a species of wild<br /> potato has become endangered because of reports that it is effective in the treatment of AIDS.<br /> There is also the problem of rights to drugs created from traditional remedies. Research into<br /> traditional remedies is increasingly being done by large drug companies, mostly based in Western<br /> countries. There is a fear that as these companies produce drugs they will claim to have the rights to<br /> the medicine. WHO recognizes that there is a need to make sure that any profits from drugs<br /> produced from traditional medicines are shared with the local culture from which the medicine<br /> originated.<br /> Traditional treatments don’t only include medicines, they also include such treatments as<br /> acupuncture and aromatherapy. Acupuncture, for example, started in China, but is now performed<br /> in more than seventy countries around the world. Even conventional doctors have come to recognize<br /> the benefits of acupuncture to stop pain and to treat some illness. In the United Kingdom, almost half<br /> of all conventional doctors either recommend acupuncture in some cases, or will perform<br /> acupuncture themselves.<br /> <br /> (Source: https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/use-of-herbal-medicines)<br /> Question 35: What is the passage mainly about?<br /> A. Why traditional medicine is so effective<br /> B. A program to increase the use of alternative medicine around the world<br /> Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 209<br /> <br /> C.
