II. READING COMPREHENSION
2.1. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why do men die
younger than women? Is this because men are afraid of getting old and helpless and so they prefer to die
before that happens? Perhaps they fear to be left alone by their women and so decide to do the leaving first.
Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women. Men are stronger
physically, yet women can hang on longer to life. Both men and women are emotional creatures but women
are not afraid or ashamed to cry while men refuse to do so. They are afraid of being thought "soft". Some
men, when they are upset, play loud music or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings. Many men like an
orderly life so that they bury themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part
in wars where there is a definite chain of command. There is a leader to give orders and a known enemy to
fight against and defeat. All these make men feel they live in a rational world.
So the majority of men like a rational world. Rationality is fine but it does not include everything that
makes life joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating. When a man refuses to cry, he is refusing to accept
that his emotions are part of him. Of course, some men do not follow this pattern. Bob Hawke is capable of
crying in public whereas Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time.
We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer. If we do not suffer, we are not really alive at
all. Suffering can be creative or destructive. If we can all learn to cry and laugh and shout and dance openly,
we are living creatively and adding something to the human race. We often say men suffer more from stress
and therefore they die earlier. Are we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the
right way - with tears and laughter instead of silence - and so they are miserable and just give up? That is just
my theory of course. Have you a better one?
1. What does the word “that” in the passage refer to?
A. The fact that men get old and helpless.
B. The fact that they fear to be left alone.
C. The fact that men die younger than women.
D. The fact that they decide to do the leaving first.
2. What's the main question the article is intended to discuss?
A. Why women are more emotional than men.
B. Why suffering is different in men and women.
C. Why men die earlier than women.
D. Why men like a rational world.
3. What is found the same for both men and women?
A. They like to cry. B. They are physically strong.
C. They are emotional creatures. D. They want to play loud music.
4. The phrase “to do the leaving” is closest in meaning to.............
A. set off B. go down C. pass away D. depart
5. What's the writer's opinion toward crying?
A. It is a good thing for people to cry.

B. It is all right for women to cry but shameful for men.
C. Tears are not real signs of suffering.
D. To be silent is better than to cry.

Obviously, the earliest teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents, and they are generally the most involved in the development and education of their children. Yet neither are all parents good teachers nor are those good parents the best teachers. First of all, not all parents are good teachers. As normal individuals, some parents more or less have bad habits. Even though parents almost instinctively devote themselves to cultivating their offspring, the outcome might turn out to be disappointment, for all children tend to unconsciously or subconsciously copy every thing from their parents. Another deficiency of parents as teachers is the fact that most parents are lack of common senses of education. All too often we observe some parents tend to pursue their cherished but failed dream by forcing their children to develop in a prearranged direction. Ironically, if their children did not follow the instructions, the children would be regarded as disobedient or allegedly rebellious.

One day, the mother went to the market as usual. She asked if the boy want anything. The boy's eyes went wide with delight. He said: "More than anything else, I want a drum!"

But the left over money after the mother bought necessities wasn't enough to buy a drum. The boy wanted a drum so badly, but there was nothing she could do. However, on the way back home, his mother found a fine stick. It was still better than nothing, right? She was smiling badly while she was handing the gift to her son. The boy decided to not disappointed. Instead of that, he thanks his mother, tapped, slapped, banged on every object with his new stick.

Since thousands of ancient times, women have been present with an important role in the life and the complete development of society as well as people. In build and develop life as well as labor, fight against the forces of evil and protect the country. That importance is affirmed
determined through the capacity and moral qualities of women over time. From time immemorial, my father drew four words to the woman Vietnamese women "public, content, language, happiness".
Experiencing the history and general development of the world and Asian countries, moral standards as well as the concept of beauty in general and the beauty of women in particular also changes from time to time, each generation. The standard of women today has a bit of change to adapt more with practice, more in line with the development of society as well as the trend of integration with the whole world, with the pace of modernization. However, the
development and standards of Vietnamese women are always associated with the old substance, which is evident in the inheritance: faithful, generous, guaranteed, speechless. In ancient times, the part of women in feudal society was a topic chosen by many poets and writers. Through those That work, the woman shows up with beautiful images, along with the beautiful personality, but fate always depends on others. The binding of feudal society, the cruelty of the forces makes their lives full of thorns and waves. Social style
The most unjust and unjustly biased is the woman and society that people always become slaves of money, which makes women hard,
frequency of going to the market early in the day raising her husband and taking care of her children. Although there is suffering, they consider it a joy, a happiness, not a burden heavy. But we see, no matter how difficult the woman is, they always shine up noble personality, sacrifice, love, optimism, faith in fresh light of life.

That's it, but "the enemy came home, the women also beat".

We live in a world of peace without war. The Vietnamese people have gone through painful historical pages and have spent thousands of years developing. And if Vietnam wants to develop like other countries, there must be people who are genius. I have read a newspaper about people in Japan. Japan is one of the most developed countries. Because people there are economic and life characteristics. Japanese people are always afraid of backward against the world so they always exchange knowledge even when they are on the road they also hold books to learn. They are also very good: do not squeeze in line, do not steal. Therefore, if Vietnam wants to develop, then there must be people who have characteristics like Japanese people. And in my opinion people need these traits:
1. Patriotism:
- Patriotism is one of the most important characteristics in people. Because patriotism is a driving force behind our development goals.
2. Have virtue:
- virtue is important in people because it is applied to life and economy. Being an honest person, knowing how to help others, giving in to the economy is not easy.
3. Benefit:
- Do people need to be grateful, kind. If you are honest, people around you will respect you.
4. Honestly:
- The lie is something that is being condemned in today's society. Lies in work and in life will cause others to lose faith in you. So honesty is always good quality. Because honesty will help you succeed and develop the virtues of the Vietnamese people.
5. Humble:
At work, when a project succeeds we will be excited. Success not only brings joy to us but also motivates us to work harder. But not because of that success, I am subjective, always bragging. Therefore, human beings need to have humility, always for their success must be lower than others. Typically, President Ho Chi Minh always has a humble heart that everyone admire.
6. Powerful:
- In addition to success, there is a failure in life. An Australian president said: "Failure is the opportunity to start the success again." Yes, failure helps us to grow. Not because of a failure that you give up. You must always have a strong, energetic spirit.
7. Unity:
- Finally is unity. Unity has been a tradition since the war. Thanks to that unity, the Vietnamese have expelled the enemy, unified the country. Today, that unity is also applied in economics. If the Vietnamese people are united together, they can create a new phenomenon that will bring Vietnam to the top of the world. And no one else is the Vietnamese U23 football team, which has made 90 million Vietnamese people proud of their unity and love of the country.
