Paragraph 1 :
Thomas Edison was born on February 11th, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. When he was at school, his teacher considered him to be a slow student.

Edison's most famous invention was the electric light bulb. He also invented the phonograph, and made improvements to the telegraph, telephone and motion picture technology.
Edison had a special life. He married twice with five children. He loved books, had excellent memory, and always showed curiosity about science. Although he had hearing problems, he refused to have an operation for his deafness. He said that silence helped him concentrate.

One day in 1963, a dolphin named Elvar and a famous astronomer, Carl Sagan, were playing a little game. The astronomer was visiting an institute which was looking into the way dolphins communicate with each other. He was standing at the edge of one of tanks where several of these highly intelligent, friendly creatures were kept. Elvar had just swum up alongside him and had turned on his back. He wanted Sagan to scratch his stomach again, as the astronomer had done twice before. But this time Elvar was too deep in the water for Sagan to reach him. Elvar looked up at Sagan, waiting. Then, after a minute or so, the dolphin leapt up through the water into the air and made a sound just like the words "More!"
The astonished astronomer went to the director of the institute and told him about the incident.
"Oh, yes. That´s one of the words he knows," the director said, showing no surprise at all.
Dolphins have bigger brains in proportion to their body size than humans have, and it has been known for a long time that they can make a number of sounds. What is more, these sounds seem to have different functions, such as warning each other of danger. Sound travels much faster and further in water than it does in air. That is why the parts of the brain that deal with sound are much better developed in dolphins than in humans. But can it be said that dolphins have a "language", in the real sense of the word? Scientist don´t agree on this.
1/ The dolphin leapt into the air because
A. Sagan was too near the water
B. it was part of the game they were playing.
C. he wanted Sagan to scratch him again
D. Sagan wanted to communicate with him
2/ "Dolphins" brains are particularly well developed to
A. help them to travle fast in water
B. arrange sounds in different structures
C. respond to different kinds of sound
D. communicate with humans through sound
Today,when English is one of the major languages in the world, it requires an effort of the imagination to realize that this is relatively recent thing-that in Shakespeare's time,for example,only a few million people spoke,and the language was not thought to be very important by the other nations of Europe,and was unknown to the rest of the world.
English has become a world language because of its establishment as a mother tongue outside England,in all the continents of the world. This exporting of English began in the seventeenth century,with the first settlements in the United States,assisted by massive immigration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,that has given the English language its present standing in the world.

Read the text carefully. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F) and choose the correct answers.
The Temple of Literature was constructed in 1070 under Ly Thanh Tong’s dynasty to honor Confucius at first and celebrate the doctorates and high rank scholars of Vietnam. In 1076, King Ly Nhan Tong continued the work and built Quoc Tu Giam as the first university of Vietnam.
The temple is divided into five court yards, each with its own significance and history. The first courtyard stretches from the main gate to Dai Trung gate. The second stands out with Khue Van Cac pavilion. The third courtyard is where doctors’ names were engraved on stelae above tortoise backs. There are a total of 82 stelae, with names and origins of 1307 doctors, corresponding to 82 examination courses from 1442 to 1779. The fourth courtyard is dedicated for Confucius and his 72 honored students, as well as Chu Van An - a famous teacher known for his devotion to teaching. This is also where local authorities choose to honor outstanding students in Hanoi nowadays, like those with top entrance results to university or top graduation outcomes. The last and also furthest courtyard is Thai Hoc house, which used to be Quoc Tu Giam - the first university of Vietnam.

The Globe Theater, where most of Shakespeare's plays were staged and performed,
was located in London. Cuthbert and Richard Burbage built the theater in 1599 with
materials left over from the construction of London’s first playhouse, the Theater. They
constructed the Globe on the south side of the Thames River in the little town of Southwark
and counted on making the theater a draw for the locals. Little is known about the
architectural design of the theater except what can be deduced from maps and the layout of
the plays presented there. It appears that the Globe was either round or polygonal on the
outside but most likely round on the inside. In keeping with the contemporary imitations of
Roman government buildings, its roof was most probably shaped as a crude dome. It can be
further deduced that the structure was decorated with pediments, arches, columns, and
ornate staircases with carvings of shells, feathers, and cupids. The size of its audience is
projected at as many as 3,000 spectators both in the amphitheater and in the balcony. The
Globe burned down in 1613; it was rebuilt on the same foundation a year later, but its
external walls were curved at an angle different from that of the original. The theater was
built hastily, and evidently safety was not a top priority for either the engineer or the
company. After several nearly fatal accidents, the Globe was torn down for good in 1644.
