[1-5] Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Traditionally, rural villages in Vietnam produced handicrafts when they were not busy with planting or harvesting crops. Over time, many villages developed the expertise to make specialised products and so particular villages became famous for such things as weaving, woodwork, lacquer work and metal products.
With industrialisation, many villagers moved to the cities but maintained their craft skills and networks to produce products for the city market, for example, craft villages make furniture, grow flowers or make utensils for the urban population. Other villages changed from making traditional crafts to producing different products desired by an industrialised society. For example, the villagers of Trieu Khuc changed from traditional paper making to recycling plastic. There are now many craft villages in Vietnam based on recycling plastic, paper or metal.

VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct word

You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the
assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don’t be afraid
to ask questions about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher
during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also
ask how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete so you can plan
your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools
have libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done.
The more work you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how
much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle
students should have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework
day, you will need to devote more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first
place to turn for help is your teacher. But what if you don’t feel comfortable with your teacher?
If you are in a big enough school, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject.
Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck. Sometimes it just helps to have
someone explain something in a different way. Moreover, you might also be able to get some
help from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about
asking that person if you can study together.
28. The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment may be
________.
A. to know when you hand it in

29. If you have any free time left at school, you should ________.
A. use it to do your homework in the library
B. spend time with your friends
C. use it to understand the assignment
D. use it to make your day planner

A. never ask other teachers for help
B. always turn to their own teachers for help

C. you only do your homework at home between 1 and 3 hours a night
D. it is very useful to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class

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
Let us begin by saying what does not cause our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.
All our dreams have something to do with our emotions, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the ‘outside’ may affect what we dream if a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experiences you have today.
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why very young children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families, and prisoners of freedom.
To show you how that is happening while you are asleep and how your wishes or needs can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of an experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbent cotton. He would dream that he was in a hospital and his charming girl friend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling gently his hand!
There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out.
28. Our dreams_______ .
A. are simply messages from another world B. are a curious look into the future
C. have a little connection with our emotions, wishes or needs
D. are to some degree caused by some of our feelings.
29. If the covers have slipped off your bed, you may dream that_______ .
A. something comfortable happens to you. B. you are staying in freezing surroundings
C. some people are making noise D. you have nothing on at all
30. When the back of a man’s hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbent cotton in the experiment, he would dream that _______ .
A. his hand was being struck by someone B. his hand was gently touched by his sweetheart
C. his hand was badly hurt by something D. somebody was wiping sweat off his body
31. When a person feels hungry, he is likely to dream of _______ .
A. wonderful fairies B. lovely young girls C. fine food and drinks D. his family members
32. Some scientists' explanation of dreams __________ .
A. does not give an outlet for our wishes B. gives us an exact answer to the problem
C. offers a meaningful approach to the problem D. is widely accepted and thought highly of by the public
