After lunch, they all went for a walk. In the large yard of the farm, they saw some farm machines. Among them is the biggest machine which is called a combine harvester. They were told that this machine can cut and thresh corn at the same time.

In the afternoon, they went to the paddy field, the place where cattle such as horses, sheep and cows were raised. They were very excited to see how cows were milked by the workers there. Uncle Brown also spoke about many interesting things in the countryside. After having some fruits and cakes, they said goodbye and went home.

Read the following passage and make the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 48.

Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.

The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.

The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.

Dịch bài đọc:

Các nhà khoa học đã phát hiện ra xương của loài khủng long ăn thịt lớn nhất từng đi trên trái đất. Phát hiện này được thực hiện bởi một nhóm các nhà nghiên cứu từ Argentina và Bắc Mỹ ở Patagonia, một sa mạc trên sườn phía đông của dãy Andes ở Nam Mỹ. Bên cạnh sự thật thú vị đó là con khủng long to và rất đáng sợ, điều đáng kinh ngạc hơn nữa là xương của một số loài khủng long đã được tìm thấy cùng nhau. Phát hiện này đã thách thức giả thuyết trước đó rằng loại động vật ăn thịt lớn nhất này sống một mình, thay vào đó, chúng có thể sống và đi săn theo bầy. Tyrannosaurus Rex sống ở Bắc Mỹ và được cho là săn mồi và sống một mình.

Loài ăn thịt mới được phát hiện dường như có liên quan đến họ Giganotosaurus, liên quan mật thiết với nó như thể một con cáo sẽ liên quan đến con chó vậy. Nó thực sự không cùng một họ với Tyrannosaurus Rex, như thể con mèo thì khác con chó vậy.

Dấu tích hóa thạch cho thấy những con vật sống cách đây khoảng 100 triệu năm. Với mũi hình kim và hàm răng sắc như dao cạo, chúng lớn hơn Tyrannosaurus Rex, mặc dù chân của chúng ngắn hơn một chút và hàm của chúng được thiết kế để có thể mổ xẻ con mồi một cách nhanh chóng và chính xác.
