A Mission to Mars

Have you ever had a dream of traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as the Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one -way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip. For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have to deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the earth via e-mail, video and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes. Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking. There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream of going to Mars, at least they can say there is a possibility that it could happen.

1, Who might like to go on this mission ?

A. People who get along with thers

B. People who get homesick easily

C. People with angry personalities

D. People who don't like to communicate

2, What will NOT happen to the people who go on the Mars One Mission ?

A. They will communicate with people on the earth

B. They will have to live with other people

C. They will live in quarters that don't have a lot of space inside

D. They will return to the earth

4. Which of the following is considered miserable ?

A. A crew on board of the Mars One Mission

B. A score of the programme on the probability scale

C. A personality of people taking part in the programme

D. A mission of astronauts to the ISS

5. How long will it take for a message to come back from Mars ?

A. Around 20 minutes

B. Only a few seconds

C. Almost immediately

D. About an hour

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

Earth is richly supplied with different types of living organisms which co-exist in their environments, forming complex, interrelated communities. Living organisms depend on one another for nutrients, shelter, and other benefits. The extinction of one species can set off a chain reaction that affects many other species, particularly if the loss occurs near the bottom of the food chain. For example, the extinction of a particular insect or plant might seem inconsequential. However, there may be fish or small animals that depend on that resource for foodstuffs. The loss can threaten the survival of these creatures and larger predators that prey upon them. Extinction can have a ripple effect that spreads throughout nature.

In addition to its biological consequences, extinction poses a moral dilemma for humans, the only species capable of saving the others. The presence of humans on the planet has affected all other life forms, particularly plants and animals. Human lifestyles have proven to be incompatible with the survival of some other species. Purposeful efforts have been made to eliminate animals that prey on people, livestock, crops, or pose any threat to human livelihoods. Some wild animals have been decimated by human desire for meat, hides, fur, or other body parts with commercial value. Likewise, demand for land, water, and other natural resources has left many wild plants and animals with little to no suitable habitat. Humans have also affected nature by introducing non-native species to local areas and producing pollutants having a negative impact on the environment. The combination of these human-related effects and natural obstacles such as disease or low birthrates has proven to be too much for some species to overcome. They have no chance of survival without human help.

As a result, societies have difficult choices to make about the amount of effort and money they are willing to spend to save imperiled species. Will people accept limits on their property rights, recreational activities, and means of livelihood to save a plant or an animal? Should saving such popular species as whales and dolphins take priority over saving obscure, annoying, or fearful species? Is it the responsibility of humans to save every kind of life form from disappearing, or is extinction an inevitable part of nature, in which the strong survive and the weak perish? These are some difficult questions that people face as they ponder the fate of other species living on this planet.

What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Humans and endangered species

B. The importance of living organisms

C. Measures to protect endangered species

D. Causes of animal extinction

What is good writing for children?
The children’s publishers will tell you they look for ‘good writing’. What exactly do they mean?

Before you send a story you have written to any publisher at all, your severest critic ought to be you vourself. To have a chance of succeeding in the competitive market of children’s fiction, you should constantly be aware, every single time you sit down at your word-processor, of the need to produce ‘good, original writing’. A difficult task, maybe, but one which hopefully we will help you to achieve.

To begin with, let us try to pin down exactly what publishers mean when they talk about ‘good writing’ for children. A useful starting point would be to take a look at some of the children’s books which won literary prizes last year. Reading these books is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways of: (a) finding out what individual publishers are publishing at the moment, and (b) learning a few tricks of the trade from well-established professionals. It goes without saying, of course, that slavishly copying the style and subject matter of a successful author is usually a recipe for disaster. Nor should you become downhearted after reading a particularly brilliant piece of work, and miserably think you will never be able to match up to those standards. Remember, overnight success is rare - most successful children’s authors will have struggled long and hard to learn their trade. Read these books as a critic; note down the things you enjoyed or admired, as well as areas where you feel there was possibly room for improvement. After all, nobody is perfect, not even a successful, prize-winning author.

Possibly the toughest challenge is right at the youngest end of the age range - the picture book. The would-be author/ illustrator is attempting to create an exciting story out of the narrow, limited, everyday world of a young child’s experience - not easy at all. The whole storyline has to be strong enough to keep the reader turning the pages, yet simple enough to fit into a few pages. Another problem for the new picture-book author is that it can seem that every subject and every approach has been done to death, with nothing new left to say. Add to this the fact that printing costs are high because of full colour illustrations, which means that the publisher will probably want a text that suits the international market to increase sales, and a novel for ten-year olds, with hardly any pictures at all, starts to look much more inviting.

You would be forgiven for wondering if there are any truly original plots left to impress publishers with. But remember that, in many ways, it is the writer’s own personal style, and intelligent handling of a subject that can change a familiar, overworked plot into something original and fresh. To illustrate this, read The Enchanted Horse by Magdalen Nabb. A young girl called Irina finds an old wooden horse in a junk shop, takes it home and treats it as if it was real. Soon it magically starts to come to life ... Sounds familiar? The magic object that comes alive is a storyline that has been used in hundreds of other children’s stories. So why does it succeed here? The answer is that Magdalen Nabb has created a strong, believable character in the lonely, unhappy heroine Irina, and the descriptions of her relationship with the wooden horse are poetic and touching.

So, to return to the question asked at the beginning: What exactly is ‘good writing’ for children? The answer is that it is writing which is fresh, exciting and unpredictable, and which gives a new and original angle on what might be a well- worn subject. But do not be put off if you feel that you simply cannot match up to all these requirements. While there is obviously no substitute for talent, and the ability to come up with suitable ideas, many of the techniques for improving and polishing your manuscript can be learned.

Most people will praise many technological gadgets that they use in their everyday lives.
Technology is developing at a very fast rate, and what most people did not even think could be real

ĐÀO THỊ THỦY CHUNG
a few years ago is now becoming a reality. Although many will use and advertise modern
technology for many of its achievements and advancements, what many don’t realize is that it has
affected and continues to affect society and people in general in a negative way.
Newspaper companies, as we all know, have been hit very hard by the advancements in
technology. Big newspapers have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or
shut down altogether because news is readily available for free on the Internet. Music does not
have to be purchased at music stores any more because MP3 files are readily available on the
Internet as well, thus causing them to shut their doors for good. The movie industry has also been
hit hard because DVD sales have decreased since people can pay for and download their favorite
movies online.
Technology has its benefits, but when you take a look at how people communicate with one
another, you will quickly see that it has a negative impact. Modern technology has allowed people
to communicate with just about anyone they want to at any given time. The fact remains that
people do not interact personally with one another as often as they used to. This has created a
barrier for face-to-face communication among people because they no longer have to hold a
meeting in an office or they no longer have to call friends or family members together to wish
them a happy birthday or congratulate them on their recent success.
As a result, people don’t feel the urgent need to step outside of their home to find
entertainment, such as participating in a dynamic game of basketball with friends, meeting a friend
at a coffee shop, etc.
26. According to the first paragraph, modern technology _________________
A. is developing rapidly B. comes true. C. benefits us a lot D.
has its disadvantages
27. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ___
A. newspaper companies B. advancements C. music stores D. MP3 files
28. The author shows us the negative effects of the technology by _____.
A. telling some stories B. giving some examples
C. listing some figures D. doing some
experiments
29. What does he underlined word “interact” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. argue B. consult C. communicate D. work
30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The negative effects of advancing technology B. The benefits of the
modern technology
C. The development of the modern technology D. The social problems caused by the
technology
