MOBILITY AND FRIENDSHIP

Americans are geographically mobile and learn to develop friendship easily and quickly. Approximately one of every five Amerian families move every year. People relocate because they begin their new jobs, attend distant colleges, get married, have children or simply want to change their lives. Perhaps as consequence of these, people form and end friendships quickly. Students attending two or three universities during their undergraduate and graduate years may change their circles of friends several times.

Relationships based on a common activity may face or end when activity ends. Students might meet in classes and remain friends for the duration of the course and then stop seeing each other after the final examination. The same holds true for neighbors who are the closest of friends until one moves away. In these friendships, shared daily experiences form the foundation for the friendship. Enduring their friendships develop when individuals have similar interests and a common outlook on life. The high rate of mobility in the United States can explain a great deal about transient friendships.

It is easy to be misled (bị hiểu sai) by instant friendship which may appear to be deep and personal but are really superficial (hời hợt). Friendship and friendliness are not synonymous (đồng nghĩa). Friendliness is characterized much of American daily interaction but is not always and indication of friendship. Strangers may share life histories without any intention of pursuing a relationship. Characterizing instant friendship is the appearance of two people becoming close but, in reality, there is no strong bond between them. Brief encounters do not always imply desire for further contact. Many people frequently smile or say, "Have a nice day!" or "See you later," or even extend an invitation as part of a cultural pattern of politeness. Such expressions do not always suggest an offer of continued friendship.

MY MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE

As a sale manager, I often take business trips to some countries. Of course, I prefer to travel by plane due to its advantages. I really had many safe and pleasant flights. However, everything happened on my flight last month still remained a fright to me.

I remember that I was with about 250 passengers on the plane flying from Guadalajara to Mexico city. When the plane took off from Guadalajara, the wind was blowing hard and it was raining heavily. Some passengers around me appeared the sign of nervousness, and so did I. The plane was all right for about thirty minutes. I was listening to the airplane's radio. Other people were talking and exchanging information. The stewardesses were serving drinks and food to the passengers. Looking out of the window, I saw masses of dense black clouds flying past. Suddenly, lightening struck one of the engines. The plane dropped rapidly. Some people were screaming and the stewardesses were falling down. From the cabin, the co-pilot's voice was heard to require passengers to fasten their seatbelts and keep calm. Some passengers couldn't control their fear, they shouted for help.

5

Though I got used to this experience, my heart was beating very fast and I was trembling with fear. I thought I was going to die. But my fear didn't last long. After about thirty seconds, the pilots started the engine. Everyone on the plane heaved a deep sign of relief. We landed safely at last.

That time I had to cancel my return flight. I took a sea voyage instead. I thought I would never fly in bad weather condition.

What might be the cause of the sudden plane's drop?5. Why did the author think he would never fly in bad weather condition?


1. ________ The author of the passage often takes business trips to others countries.2. ________ There were 250 passengers on the plane flying from Guadalajara to Mexico.3. ________ When the plane took off from Guadalajara, the weather was in an extremely bad

condition.4. ________ All passengers on the plane had no sign of fear.5. ________ While other people are talking and exchanging information, the pilots were serving

drinks and food to the passengers.6. ________ Some passengers screamed when the plane suddenly dropped.7. ________ The co-pilot contacted the ground controller for help.8. ________ Planes often drop when flying in bad weather conditions.9. ________ The author learned how to keep calm in emergency on planes.10. _______ There are two planes flying from Guadalajara to Mexico city every day.

Dear John,

Thank you so much for your lovely photograph. You looked great in the ceremony. You want to know my latest news, don't you? I'm going to tell you one of the most embarrassing experiences that has happened in my life.

Last week, I was invited to a birthady party of one of my close friends, Fiona. I was excited about going there. I went to a gift shop and chose a lovely present for her. Then I ran home and put the present on the corner of the desk. The time for the party was coming, so I got dressed and hurried to Fiona's house. On getting there, I saw some of my friends standing at the door giving Fiona cards, flowers, and gifts. I didn't notice that I hadn't brought the present with me. When Fiona called me, I realized that I forgot one big thing. "Oh, my god. I don't take my gift with me. What should I do?" Some of my friends looked at me with a little surprise, so I felt very embarrassed and couldn't say anything. Finally, I tried to keep calm and told her that I had forgotten the present at home and I would send her later. You know I have never been in a situation like that. You can imagine how I felt at that time.

Since then I have learned that I must be very careful and well-prepared before going to a party.

Your friend,

Đọc đoạn văn sau và chọn một câu trả lời đúng nhất cho các câu hỏi, từ câu 43 đến câu 47In the United States, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous and real, yet fade away in

a short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where they left off and are delighted.

In the United States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays, or enjoy their lives without fear that they are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you can not give it in return. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.

Once you arrived there, the welcome will be full, warm, and real. Most visitors find themselves readily invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what it felt as only home cooked food, not "doing something for your guests." It is felt that restaurant entertaining shows most respect and welcome. Or for the other reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family customs, outsiders are not invited into homes.

In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to one's home then go to a public place, except in a pure business relationships. So, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.

Don't feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room, either. Flowers are very expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain; arrival times are delayed, changed or cancelled - so flowers are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in different lands; the inward welcome is what matters. And this will be real.

The great racing driver, Sir Malcolm Campbell, was the first man to drive at over 300 miles per hour. He set up a new world record in September 1935 at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500 horse-power engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a type burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds of over 400 miles an hour.

Bài viết mẫuVIETNAMESE TEACHER'S DAY

One of the most traditionally celebrated holidays in Vietnam is Vietnamese Teacher's Day, which falls on the twentieth of November every year.

People celebrate this special day to honor all Vietnamese teachers for their devotion to the education cause of the country. On this merry and grateful occasion, students often visit their teachers, wishing them good health, happiness, and career success and respectfully presenting them gifts like flowers to show their gratitude to their teachers. Gift shops are filled with beautiful 20-11 gifts and many students get excited to choose ones for their teachers. And those who are out of town annd can not visit their teachers often send their favourite teachers greeting cards on whioch words of gratitude and wishes of the season are expressed. Many alumni who are now successful businessmen and government officers often send banquets of flowers to their old shool as an expression of their gratitude towards their all teachers who have taught them to become useful citizens.

Both teachers and students are very happy on this interesting holiday because they have a chance to recall their funny and good memories. Vietnamese Teacher's Day is really one of my favorite holidays.

UNIT 7: WORLD POPULATIONI: READING

Đọc đoạn văn sau và chọn một câu trả lời thích hợp nhất, từ câu 1 đến câu 5The population of the world has increased more in modern times than in all other ages of history

combined. World population totalled about 500 million in 1650. It doubled in the period from 1650 - 1680. By the year 2000, the population will be about 6.6 billion. Estimates based on research by the United Nations indicate that it will double in the twenty-five years between 1975 and the year 2000.

No one knows the limits of the population that the earth can support. Thomas Malthus, an English economist, developed a theory that became widely accepted in the nineteenth century. He suggested that because world population tended to increase more rapidly than food supply, we should continuously constrain available resources. Malthus cited wars, famines, epidemics and other disasters as in the usual limitations of world population growth. With recent advances in science and technology, including improved agricultural methods and great progresses and in medicine, some of the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened, with obvious results. International organizations have recommended programmes to encourage general economic development that target areas along with a decrease in birth rates to effect a lasting solution.Câu 1: Which of the options below is the best title for the passage?

A. A Brief History of Population and Over-population B. Limiting Factors in Population GrowthC. The United Nations' Estimate D. Thomas Malthus's Theory

Câu 2: What is the population from the estimates based on research by the US?A. Two million B. Five hundred million C. Seven billion D. Over six billion

Câu 3: Who was Thomas Malthus?A. A scientist B. An economist C. A doctor of medicine D. A United

Nations' representativeCâu 4: According to the passage, the limiting factors in population growth have been lessened because of __________.

A. precaution B. disasters C. improved technology D. scarcityCâu 5: What do most experts recommend in order to solve problems of overpopulation?

A. Medical advance and improved agricultural methods. B. Famine and epidemic.C. Economic development and a decline in the bith rate. D. Conservation of available resources.

The ocean park inside an artificial mountain 20 metres high displays hundreds of species of marine animals and plants.

Today I'd like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth. First we'll touch on the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.

The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from theses fuorocrabons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We'll go into that new study more next time.

Câu 1: Who is the most likely speaker?A. A mechanic B. A professor C. A doctor D. A chemist

Câu 2: What is the speaker's main topic?A. Fluorocarbons and ozone layer B. UltravioletC. Air-conditioning systems D. The uses of spray cans

Câu 3: What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?A. Providing fluorocarbons B. Shielding the sunC. Protecting the earth D. Destroying chemicals

Câu 4: What is the ozone layer made of?A. Ultraviolet light B. Shields C. Oxygen D. Fluorocarbons

34

Câu 5: What will the speaker probably discuss next?A. The make-up of the ozone layerB. How to make air conditioners with fuorocarbonsC. Harmful effects of ultraviolet lightD. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion
