III. READING COMPREHENSION 
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer (from Câu 31 to Câu 35). 
 In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are 
less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men 
want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. 
There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than 
men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s 
bodies really weaker ? 
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times 
are always slower than men’s, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today 
are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The 
first “Tarzan” in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 
minutes 59.1 seconds, slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men 
up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women 
athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes 
are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very completed when 
there are two separate sexes. 
Câu 31: Women are called “the weaker sex” because _____. 
A. sport is easier for men than for women B. women do as much as men 
C. people think women are weaker than men D. in sport the two sexes are always together 
Câu 32: In this passage the author implies that ______. 
A. men are faster and stronger than women 
B. women are slower than men, but stronger 
C. women are weaker than men, but faster 
D. men are not always stronger and faster than women 
Câu 33: “That at least is what people say” means people ________. 
A. say this but may not think so B. don’t say this much 
C. say other things too D. only think this 
Câu 34: Which of the following is true ? 
A. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe. 
B. Boys and girls are not co-educated nowadays. 
C. Women do not run or swim in races with men. 
D. Famous Prime Ministers are women. 
Câu 35: What problems does sport have ? 
A. Some women athletes are given hormone injections. 
B. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women. 
C. Some women athletes are actually men. 
D. Women and men do not run or swim in the same race. 
IV. CLOZE TEST
