The Rise of E-Books
Over the past decade, e-books have revolutionized the way people consume written information. It will probably come as no surprise that the total global sales number continues to rise each year. There are several reasons why readers are buying more e-books. For starters, reading a lengthy e-book in front of your computer isn't the most comfortable thing to do. But since tablet sales have exploded, readers can now relax and read their favourite e-books in bed or on the beach. Many e-books are often sold at lower prices than traditional books. Since there is almost zero cost for producing e-books, some authors are offering their novels at lower prices. Another factor is convenience. In the past, keeping a large book collection meant setting aside a lot of extra space in one's home. With e-books, it is now possible for readers to carry a portable library, which contains thousands of books. To really understand the e-book market, it is important to keep up with national trends. 
Recent data suggests that the e-book markets in the US and the UK have matured. In both of these countries, e-book sales account for roughly 20 percent of overall book sales. Although that percentage continues to increase, it is going up at a slower rate than in the past. 
The popularity of e-books has exploded in Russia. In one poll, 70 percent of Russians claim to have read at least one e-book. However, publishers are not too pleased with this news because approximately 92 percent of e-books in Russia are acquired illegally. 
In France, consumers don't appear to be too keen on e-books at this time. Although in 2012, e-book sales comprised about 3 percent of the market, it is predicted that this number will increase at a very slow pace. Some French people believe that reading e-books on small screens is uncomfortable. Others say that the French are a cultural exception, as they like the feeling of holding a dusty old physical book. This demonstrates that no matter how popular e-books get, it is unlikely that traditional books will disappear any time soon.
Câu 36: This year e-book sales in the US and the UK will probably _____.
A. increase drastically	B. keep going up	C. stay the same	D. start to decline
Câu 37: Which of the following is NOT a reason why e-books became popular worldwide?
A. People can now store more books easily.
B. Reading e-books recently became more comfortable.
C. Most popular novels are only offered as e-books.
D. A new type of reading device was invented.
Câu 38: The phrase "account for" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. know what has happened	B. are the explanation for
C. form the total of	D. are a particular part of
Câu 39: Why are publishers unhappy about the popularity of e-books in Russia?
A. The quality of e-books is poor.	B. Customers are not paying for them.
C. More people are returning to traditional books.	D. Only a small percentage of people read e-books.
Câu 40: The word "they" in paragraph 5 refers to _____.
A. total sales	B. e-books	C. French people	D. traditional books

A. French people will change their minds about e-books.
B. It is just a matter of time before e-books disappear.
C. Some people will continue to read traditional books.
D. E-books won't get popular in France until screens get bigger.

Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
Improving girl’s educational levels has been demonstrated to have clear impacts on the health and economic future of young women, which in turn improves the prospect of their entire community. The infant mortality rate of babies whose mothers have received primary education is half that of children whose mothers are illiterate. In the poorest countries of the world, 50% of girls do not attend secondary school. Yet, research shows that every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15 %. Improving female education, and thus the earning potential of women improves the standard of living for their own children, as women invest more of their income in their families than men do. Yet, many barriers to education for girls remain. In some African countries, such as Burkina Faso, girls are unlikely to attend school for such basic reasons as a lack of private toilet facilities for girls.
Higher attendance rates of high schools and university education among women, particularly in developing countries, have helped them make inroads into professional careers with better-paying salaries and wages. Education increases a woman’s (and her partner’s and the family’s) level of health and health awareness. Furthering women’s levels of education and advanced training also tends to lead to later ages of initiation of sexual activity, later age at first marriage, and later ages at first childbirth, as well as an increased likelihood to remain single, have no children, or have no formal marriage and alternatively, have increasing levels of long-term partnerships. It can lead to higher rates of barrier and chemical contraceptive use ( and a lower level of sexually transmitted infections among women and their partners and children), and can increase the level of resources available to women who divorce or are in a situation of domestic violence. It has been shown, in addition, to increase women’s communication with their partners and their employers, and to improve rates of civic participation such as voting or the holding of office.
