VII. Read the following passage and do the tasks below: (2 ms)

Books are good, but I personally think newspapers and magazines are better. However getting some knowledge of the language is the most important thing.

FIRST DAY AT WORK
Well, Trisha, that's my own first day at my new job out of the way. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out okay. My manager was really nice, much => bỏ nicer than yours boss sounds from your letter. No sooner had i arrived at work than did he made me a cup of tea! It was a really pleasant surprise. Not only did he do that, but he was also kind enough to explain to me how everything worked. The office is really modern and its comfortable. The other people all have their own desks, but mine => my desk still hasn't been delivered, so i'm sharing with someone else for now. Little did i not realise when i took the job that i was going to enjoy it so much. I have finally found a job that i am happy in => bỏ, and so will you have, i'm sure. Hope tomorrow's as much fun!

When I first started learning English ten years ago, I could hardly say a word – “hello”, “good bye”, “thank you” was just about it. I went two classes two evenings a week and I was surprised at home quickly I made progress. During the course we learned a lot of vocabulary and studied grammar rules. The thing I enjoyed most was to be able to practice speaking with other students in my class.

After two years I went to England to a language school. It was in Cambridge. I did a three-week course at a very good school and I stayed with a local family. It was a fantastic experience and I picked up a lot of new language from speaking with my host family and with other students from all over the world. I really improved my pronunciation as well. When I got back to Spain, I was so much more confident. I could actually hold a conversation with my teacher in English.

Khi tôi bắt đầu học tiếng Anh mười năm trước, tôi hầu như không thể nói một từ - "xin chào", "tạm biệt", "cảm ơn" chỉ là về nó. Tôi đã đi hai lớp hai buổi tối một tuần và tôi đã rất ngạc nhiên ở nhà một cách nhanh chóng tôi đạt được tiến bộ. Trong khóa học chúng tôi đã học được rất nhiều từ vựng và nghiên cứu các quy tắc ngữ pháp. Điều tôi thích nhất là có thể thực hành nói chuyện với các sinh viên khác trong lớp của tôi.

Sau hai năm tôi đã đi Anh đến một trường ngôn ngữ. Đó là ở Cambridge. Tôi đã làm một khóa học ba tuần tại một trường học rất tốt và tôi ở lại với một gia đình địa phương. Đó là một trải nghiệm tuyệt vời và tôi đã tiếp thu rất nhiều ngôn ngữ mới từ việc nói chuyện với gia đình chủ nhà và với các sinh viên khác từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Tôi cũng đã cải thiện cách phát âm của mình. Khi tôi trở lại Tây Ban Nha, tôi đã tự tin hơn rất nhiều. Tôi thực sự có thể tổ chức một cuộc trò chuyện với giáo viên của tôi bằng tiếng Anh.

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, and washed and dressed himself in haste. He wanted to be first to wish a happy New Year. He looked in every room, and shouted the words of welcome. He ran into the street, to repeat them to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lit up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, intending to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children shiveringwith cold. "I wish you a happy New Year," said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head. "You do not belong to this country," said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak our language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, as if to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in distress. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you forever." When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.

13. "I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry and wretched. "I think I can wait for my books till next New Year. Oh, if you had seen how glad they were to receive the money!" "My dear boy;" said his father, "here is a whole bundle of books. I give them to you, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift. "I saw you give the money to the poor German family. It was no small sum for a little boy to give cheerfully. "Be thus ever ready to help the poor, and wretched, and distressed; and every year of your life will be to you a happy New Year."

1.What is the main lesson of this passage?

A/We should always wish everyone we can happy New Year.

B/We should help foreign people.

C/We should not buy books, but instead we should buy food.

D/We should give all we can to those in need.

2.Why does Edward give his silver dollars to the German family?

A/Because his father has instructed him to always help foreign families in need.B/Because he pities them and knows they need the money more than he does.C/Because he didn't actually want the books after all and didn't want his father to find out.D/Because he saw his brother do the same thing last New Years.

3.What does the author mean when he says, "his face lit up"?

A/The light made his face bright. B/The light showed how happy he was. C/He turned on the light. D/He was overjoyed. 4.What causes Edward's father to give Edward a bundle of books? A/He wants to wish Edward a happy New Year. B/He wants to reward Edward's goodness. C/He wants Edward to learn how to read more fluently in German. D/He wants Edward to do better in school. 5.What do you think the German family will do with the money Edward gives them? A/They will give the money to those less fortunate than themselves. B/They will invest in a business. C/They will ask for more money from another child. D/They will feed their children.

He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, intending to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children shiveringwith cold. "I wish you a happy New Year," said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man shook his head. "You do not belong to this country," said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak our language. But he pointed to his mouth, and to the children, as if to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in distress. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you forever." When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.

13. "I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry and wretched. "I think I can wait for my books till next New Year. Oh, if you had seen how glad they were to receive the money!" "My dear boy;" said his father, "here is a whole bundle of books. I give them to you, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift. "I saw you give the money to the poor German family. It was no small sum for a little boy to give cheerfully. "Be thus ever ready to help the poor, and wretched, and distressed; and every year of your life will be to you a happy New Year."
