Martin Luther King, Jf., is well- known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among which is his moving “ I have a dream” speech. But fewer people know much about King’s childhood. M.L., as he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.’s grandfather purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before M.L was born. His grandfather allowed the house to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew up in the atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it. 

 

M.L.’s childhood was not especially eventfully. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all black schools in a black neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor, however. Auburn Avenue was an area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and other businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation, the district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice that was a huge barrier keeping black Atlantans from mingling with whites.

M.L. was _______ by the atmosphere in which he grew up

A. not affected at all

Dịch bài đọc:

Martin Luther King, Jf., nổi tiếng bởi những tác phẩm của ông về quyền công dân và những bài diễn văn nổi tiếng, trong đó có bài phát biểu "Tôi có một giấc mơ" của ông. Nhưng ít người biết nhiều về thời thơ ấu của King. M.L., như ông được gọi, sinh năm 1929 tại Atlanta, Georgia, tại nhà ông nội của ông. Ông nội của M.L. đã mua nhà trên đại lộ Auburn năm 1909, hai mươi năm trước khi M.L ra đời. Ông nội của ông cho phép ngôi nhà được sử dụng làm nơi gặp gỡ của một số tổ chức dành cho giáo dục và tiến bộ xã hội của người da đen. M.L. lớn lên trong không khí đó, với ngôi nhà của mình được sử dụng như là một nơi tập trung cộng đồng, và chắc chắn được ảnh hưởng bởi nó.

Thời thơ ấu của M.L. không đặc biệt sôi nổi. Cha của ông là một bộ trưởng và mẹ ông là một nhạc sĩ. Ông là con thứ hai trong số ba người con, và ông học ở trường cho người da đen trong một khu phố của người da đen đen. Tuy nhiên, khu phố không nghèo. Đại lộ Auburn là khu vực của các ngân hàng, công ty bảo hiểm, nhà xây dựng, thợ kim hoàn, thợ may, bác sĩ, luật sư và các doanh nghiệp và dịch vụ khác. Ngay cả khi đối mặt với sự phân cách của Atlanta, quận này đã phát triển mạnh mẽ. King không bao giờ quên tinh thần cộng đồng mà ông đã biết khi còn nhỏ và cũng không quên đi những thành kiến sắc tộc vốn là một rào chắn người Atlanta da đen hoà hợp với người da trắng

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.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no – it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.

Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

(source: https://www.beliefnet.com)

According to the paragraph 2, what did the second son see in his turn?

A.The tree was gloomy, withered and crooked.

B.The tree was in buds and teeming with vigor.

C.The tree was blossoming and gave off a sweet scent.

D.The tree was bountifully fruitful, brimming with life force.

He then turned his mind to create a replacement for the lengthy shoelaces which were then used in both men’s and women's boots. On August 29th 1893, he won another patent, for what he called the case “locker”. Though the model was somewhat clumsy, and frequently jammed, it did work: in fact, Judson and his business associate Lewis Walker had sewn the device into their own boots. Although Judson displayed his clasp–locker at the World's Fair held in Chicago in 1893, the public largely ignored it. The company founded by Judson and Walker, Universal Fastener, despite further refinements, never really succeeded in marketing the device.

The earliest zip fasteners were being used in the clothing industry by 1905, but it was only in 1913, after a Swedish–American engineer, Gideon Sundbach, had remodeled Judson's fastener into a more streamlined and reliable form, that the zipper was a success. The US Army applied zippers to the clothing and equipment of the troops of World War I. By the late 1920s, zippers could be found in all kinds of clothing, footwear, and carrying cases; by the mid–1930s, zippers had even been embraced by the fashion industry.

The term “zipper" was coined as onomatopoeia (resembling the sound it makes) by B.F. Goodrich whose company started marketing rubber shoes featuring the fastener in 1923. Regrettably. Whitcomb Judson died in 1909, and never heard the term, or saw the success by which his invention would become popular.

According to the passage, zippers did not really become a success until _____

A. they were used in the apparel industry after 1905

B. the Army used them in World War I

C. in 1913 after being remodeled

D. be the late 1920s

Dịch bài đọc:

Hầu hết các thiết bị buộc chặt được sử dụng trong quần áo ngày nay, như dây giày, nút và pin an toàn, đã tồn tại ở một số dạng trong các nền văn hóa khác nhau trong hàng ngàn năm. Nhưng khóa kéo là sản phẩm trí tuệ của một nhà phát minh người Mỹ, cụ thể là Whitcomb Judson ở Chicago. Vào cuối thế kỷ 19, Judson đã là một nhà phát minh thành công, với hàng tá bằng sáng chế cho tín dụng của mình cho các mặt hàng cơ khí như cải tiến động cơ và hệ thống phanh đường sắt.

Sau đó, anh ấy đã chuyển ý định của mình để tạo ra một sự thay thế cho dây giày dài mà sau đó được sử dụng trong cả giày của nam và nữ. Vào ngày 29 tháng 8 năm 1893, ông đã giành được một bằng sáng chế khác, với cái mà ông gọi là "khóa bấm". Mặc dù nguyên mẫu có phần vụng về và thường xuyên bị kẹt, nhưng nó đã hoạt động: trên thực tế, Judson và cộng sự kinh doanh của ông, Lewis Walker đã khâu thiết bị vào trong ủng của chính họ. Mặc dù Judson trưng bày tủ khóa của mình tại Hội chợ Thế giới được tổ chức tại Chicago năm 1893, nhưng công chúng phần lớn đã phớt lờ nó. Công ty được thành lập bởi Judson và Walker, Universal Fastener, mặc dù đã cải tiến thêm, nhưng chưa bao giờ thực sự thành công trong việc tiếp thị thiết bị.

Các ốc vít zip đầu tiên đã được sử dụng trong ngành may mặc vào năm 1905, nhưng chỉ đến năm 1913, sau khi một kỹ sư người Mỹ gốc Thụy Điển, Gideon Sundbach, đã sửa lại dây buộc của Judson thành một hình thức hợp lý và đáng tin cậy hơn, rằng khóa kéo đã thành công. Quân đội Hoa Kỳ áp dụng dây kéo cho quần áo và thiết bị của quân đội trong Thế chiến T. Vào cuối những năm 1920, dây kéo có thể được tìm thấy trong tất cả các loại quần áo, giày dép và hộp đựng; vào giữa những năm 1930, dây kéo thậm chí đã được ngành công nghiệp thời trang đón nhận.

Thuật ngữ "dây kéo" được đặt ra là onomatopoeia (giống với âm thanh mà nó tạo ra) bởi BF Goodrich, công ty bắt đầu tiếp thị galoshes có dây buộc vào năm 1923. Đáng tiếc, Whitcomb Judson đã chết vào năm 1909, và chưa bao giờ nghe thấy thuật ngữ này, hoặc không bao giờ nghe thấy thuật ngữ này. mà phát minh của ông sẽ trở nên phổ biến.

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.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no – it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.

Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
