Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in 
making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that 
Trang 3/5 
phí 
perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as 
well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain illnesses because 
of the characteristic foods they consume. 
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates nitrites 
(commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic 
additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging 
label of processed food are helpful or harmful. 
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, 
penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. 
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The 
farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest. 
Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food 
without our knowledge. 
Question 31: How has science done to disservice to people? 
A. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to 
our food 
B. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables 
C. It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food 
D. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated. 
Question 32: The word “prone” is nearest meaning to_________. 
A. healthy B. unlikely C. supine D. predisposed 
Question 33: The word “carcinogenic” is closest in meaning to_________. 
A. trouble-making B. money-making C. cancer-causing D. colorretaining 
Question 34: What are nitrates used for? 
A. They preserve the color of meat B. They preserve flavor in package food 
C. There are objects of research D. They cause the animals become fatter 
Question 35: FDA means____________. 
A. Federal Dairy Additives B. Food and Drug Administration 
C. Final Difficult Analysis D. Food Direct Additives 
Question 36: All of the following statements are TRUE except 
A. Drug are always given to animals for medical reasons 
B. Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world 
C. Researchers have known about the potential hazard of food additives for more than 45 years 
D. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living 
animals 
Question 37: What is best title for this passage? 
A. The food you eat can affect your health B. Harmful and Harmless substances in food 
C. Avoiding injurious substances in food D. Improving health through a Natural Diet 
Question 38: The word “fit” could be best replaced by which of the following? 
A. suitable B. tasty C. athletic D. adaptable 
Question 39: The word “these” refers to___________? 
A. researchers B. nitrates and nitrites C. meats D. colors 
Question 40: The word “additives” is closest meaning to__________. 
A. begin substance B. natural substance C. dangerous substance D. added substance 
Choose the word or phrase ( A, B, C or D ) that best fits the blank space in the following passage. 
When you first apply for a job, you (41) ______not succeed in getting it. It’s always a good 
(42)______to ask them to explain to you what prevented from beating the other candidates. Don’t complain 
about the situation, but ask them to advise you (43)______what you can do better next time. Perhaps the 
interviewer disapproved of or disagreed with something you said. Perhaps they just glanced at your

regard it as a failure, but recognize it as a chance to learn more. (44)______you don’t worry too much 
about it and continue to believe in yourself, you’ll (45)______find the chance you’ve been waiting for. 
Then, your family and friends will be able to congratulate you on your success!

 The habits of those who constantly play video games are very important to people working in video-
game industry. If video games are going to one of the most attractive features of future interactive systems, 
it is essential for producers to know what types of games to make, how best to present such games on 
interactive video, and how to ensure that such games maintain their fascination for people. Above all, it is 
vital to build up detailed profiles of people who are addicted to video games. 
 Until recently, the chief market for video games has been boys aged eight to fifteen. The fascination 
for interactive video games is seen in its purest form in this group. Video games appeal to some deep 
instinct in boys who find it impossible to tear themselves from them. Schoolwork is ignored, health is 
damaged and even eating habits are affected. Girls of the same age, however, are entirely different, 
demonstrating far greater freedom from the hold of video games. Quite simply, they can take video games 
in their strike, being able to play them when they want and then leave them alone. 
Question 46:Producers of video games are keen on __________. 
A. finding the best ways of continuing to attract people B. developing computer techniques in making 
such games 
C. learning about drug to which people are addicted D. designing ways 
Question 47:The people who are most attracted to video games are __________. 
 A. young adult women B. boys from eight to fifteen years old 
 C. girls between eight and fifteen D. supermarket assistants 
Question 48:__________have different attitude towards playing video games. 
 A. Adult men and women B. Boys and girls 
from eight to fifteen 
 C. Girls and boys above eight D. Girls and boys below eight 
Question 49:The addiction to video games can be so powerful that it can __________. 
 A. separate boys from girls B. make people relaxing 
 C. destroy people’s instincts D. make people physically ill. 
Question 50:Compared with boys of the same age, girls are __________. 
 A. more intelligent than boys B. more addicted to video games 
 C. more concentrated on video games D. less affected by video games
