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 from 29 to 33.
Apples are one of the healthiest foods you can eat every day. A traditional American proverb states: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. But it does not specifically say anything about the best time of day to eat apples. It is generally believed that eating an apple in the morning is good for people, but eating an apple in the evening is like eating poison.
There is actually a scientific reason behind this belief. One benefit of apples is that they are a favorable source of fructose, which is a natural form of sugar that gives you a big boost of energy. The energy you get from an apple is longer lasting than that provided by a cup of coffee. Clearly, this is something most people would rather experience in the morning than right before bedtime.
Apples also contain high levels of pectin, a kind of dietary fiber. Fiber stimulates bowel movements, which help maintain the health of your digestive system. But if you eat an apple shortly before going to bed, this can cause problems. While you are asleep, your bowels can fill up with gas, making you feel bloated and uncomfortable. You may also wake up several times to use the bathroom, which will prevent you from getting a good nights sleep.
Other health benefits of apples come from flavonoids, beta carotene, and B vitamins. Flavonoids are the material that gives flowers and fruits their bright colors, such as the deep red of apples. When eaten, flavonoids can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses. Meanwhile, beta carotene helps prevent cancer, and B vitamins provide the body with a wide variety of important benefits. Apparently, starting your day with an apple really can keep the doctor away.
Question 29: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Apples are not as good as people may think.        B. Eating an apple in the morning proves beneficial.
C. Pectin can cause digestive problems at night.        D. Flavonoids are as good as beta carotene.
Question 30: The word that in paragraph 2 refers to _______
        A. an apple        B. energy        C. sugar        D. a cup of coffee
Question 31: The word stimulates” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______
        A. prevents        B. avoids        C. encourages        D. creates
Question 32: Which of the following gives people a big boost of energy?
        A. Fructose        B. Flavonoids        C. Beta Carotene        D. Pectin
Question 33: Which of the following is TRUE about flavonoids?
A. They make apples colors brighter than those of other fruits.
B. They are less important than beta carotene and B vitamins.
C. They help prevent the risks of several health problems.
D. They may lead to the feeling of being bloated and uncomfortable.
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 from 34 to 40.
An education pioneer born into rural poverty in Nepal has opened 30 schools in a bid to boost prospects for his country’s children.
The World Bank ranks Nepal as the globe’s 31st poorest country, with almost 10 million people living on daily incomes between £1.48 and £2.50. Many rural villages remain unreached by government schooling and adult literacy stood at just 60 percent in 2011.
Surya Karki and his charity United World Schools Nepal (UWS) are tackling high illiteracy and poverty rates by funding and improving education.
The first school opened in 2015. Since then 92 percent of children have completed primary education, which finishes at age eight, and continued into secondary education with UWS schools, in comparison to 39 percent of students continuing education who attended government schools.
Mr Karki was born into poverty in rural Nepal. Speaking to the Telegraph he said: “School is the only solution to the poverty cycle that we live in. I was raised by a single mother in a male- dominated society. The school that I went to was approximately two hours walk away. My house was on top of a hill and my mother had to drag me across rivers. We used to walk 10 miles a day. The schooling was really bad.”
Karki’s mother was a firm believer in education, and at age eight Karki secured a scholarship to study in the capital, Kathmandu. From there he won scholarships and completed Master’s degrees in China and the United States. He returned to Nepal in 2015 and decided to stay and develop the education system. Karki said: “Inequalities in a country can only be decreased if there is access to knowledge.”
The devastating earthquake in 2015 damaged 9,300 schools, displacing hundreds of thousands of families and pushing 700,000 people into poverty. As of January 2018, only 2,891 schools had been rebuilt. Karki said: “We came at a crucial time, where we could redo or undo what had been done badly. Education was really bad in terms of infrastructure, quality of teachers and training. It was an opportunity for us to really make things better.”
UWS Nepal has so far built 30 schools and has seven more in construction. The schools run between 10 am and 3:30 pm, and have an 86 percent average attendance rate, which Karki says is almost double the attendance rate for government schools in the vicinity. Sexual health classes are taught to the children in the later years.

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 from 29 to 33.
Apples are one of the healthiest foods you can eat every day. A traditional American proverb states: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. But it does not specifically say anything about the best time of day to eat apples. It is generally believed that eating an apple in the morning is good for people, but eating an apple in the evening is like eating poison.
Táo là một trong những thực phẩm lành mạnh nhất mà bạn có thể ăn hàng ngày. Một câu ngạn ngữ truyền thống của Mỹ nói rằng: Nếu bạn ăn một quả táo mỗi ngày, bạn sẽ khỏe mạnh và không bị ốm đau gì. Nhưng nó không nói cụ thể bất cứ điều gì về thời gian tốt nhất trong ngày để ăn táo. Người ta thường tin rằng ăn một quả táo vào buổi sáng là tốt cho con người, nhưng ăn một quả táo vào buổi tối chẳng khác nào ăn phải thuốc độc.
There is actually a scientific reason behind this belief. One benefit of apples is that they are a favorable source of fructose, which is a natural form of sugar that gives you a big boost of energy. The energy you get from an apple is longer lasting than that provided by a cup of coffee. Clearly, this is something most people would rather experience in the morning than right before bedtime.
Thực sự có một lý do khoa học đằng sau niềm tin này. Một lợi ích của táo là chúng là nguồn cung cấp fructose có lợi, đây là một dạng đường tự nhiên giúp tăng cường năng lượng cho bạn. Năng lượng bạn nhận được từ một quả táo lâu hơn năng lượng được cung cấp bởi một tách cà phê. Rõ ràng, đây là điều mà hầu hết mọi người muốn trải qua vào buổi sáng hơn là ngay trước khi đi ngủ.
Apples also contain high levels of pectin, a kind of dietary fiber. Fiber stimulates bowel movements, which help maintain the health of your digestive system. But if you eat an apple shortly before going to bed, this can cause problems. While you are asleep, your bowels can fill up with gas, making you feel bloated and uncomfortable. You may also wake up several times to use the bathroom, which will prevent you from getting a good nights sleep.
Táo cũng chứa hàm lượng pectin cao, một loại chất xơ. Chất xơ kích thích nhu động ruột, giúp duy trì sức khỏe của hệ tiêu hóa. Nhưng nếu bạn ăn một quả táo ngay trước khi đi ngủ, điều này có thể gây ra vấn đề. Khi bạn đang ngủ, ruột của bạn có thể đầy hơi, khiến bạn cảm thấy đầy bụng và khó chịu. Bạn cũng có thể thức dậy nhiều lần để sử dụng phòng tắm (đi vệ sinh), điều này sẽ khiến bạn không thể ngủ ngon.
Other health benefits of apples come from flavonoids, beta carotene, and B vitamins. Flavonoids are the material that gives flowers and fruits their bright colors, such as the deep red of apples. When eaten, flavonoids can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses. Meanwhile, beta carotene helps prevent cancer, and B vitamins provide the body with a wide variety of important benefits. Apparently, starting your day with an apple really can keep the doctor away.
Các lợi ích sức khỏe khác của táo đến từ flavonoid, beta carotene và vitamin B. Flavonoid là nguyên liệu làm cho hoa và quả có màu sắc tươi sáng, chẳng hạn như màu đỏ đậm của táo. Khi ăn, flavonoid có thể làm giảm nguy cơ mắc bệnh tim, tiểu đường và các bệnh khác. Trong khi đó, beta carotene giúp ngăn ngừa ung thư và vitamin B cung cấp cho cơ thể nhiều lợi ích quan trọng. Rõ ràng là, bắt đầu ngày mới của bạn với một quả táo thực sự có thể khiến bạn không cần đến bác sĩ.
Question 29: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Apples are not as good as people may think.        B. Eating an apple in the morning proves beneficial.
C. Pectin can cause digestive problems at night.        D. Flavonoids are as good as beta carotene.

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 from 34 to 40.
An education pioneer born into rural poverty in Nepal has opened 30 schools in a bid to boost prospects for his country’s children.
Một nhà tiên phong trong lĩnh vực giáo dục sinh ra trong hoàn cảnh nghèo khó ở vùng nông thôn Nepal đã mở 30 trường học nhằm nâng cao triển vọng cho trẻ em đất nước của mình.
The World Bank ranks Nepal as the globe’s 31st poorest country, with almost 10 million people living on daily incomes between £1.48 and £2.50. Many rural villages remain unreached by government schooling and adult literacy stood at just 60 percent in 2011.
Ngân hàng Thế giới xếp Nepal là quốc gia nghèo thứ 31 trên toàn cầu, với gần 10 triệu người sống với thu nhập hàng ngày từ 1,48 đến 2,50 bảng. Nhiều ngôi làng nông thôn vẫn chưa được chính phủ cho đi học và tỷ lệ biết chữ của người lớn chỉ ở mức 60% vào năm 2011.
Surya Karki and his charity United World Schools Nepal (UWS) are tackling high illiteracy and poverty rates by funding and improving education.
Surya Karki và tổ chức từ thiện United World Schools Nepal (UWS) của ông đang giải quyết tỷ lệ mù chữ và nghèo đói cao bằng cách tài trợ và cải thiện giáo dục.
The first school opened in 2015. Since then 92 percent of children have completed primary education, which finishes at age eight, and continued into secondary education with UWS schools, in comparison to 39 percent of students continuing education who attended government schools.
Ngôi trường đầu tiên được mở vào năm 2015. Kể từ đó, 92% trẻ em đã hoàn thành chương trình giáo dục tiểu học, kết thúc ở 8 tuổi và tiếp tục học trung học tại các trường UWS, so với 39% học sinh giáo dục thường xuyên theo học các trường công lập.
Mr Karki was born into poverty in rural Nepal. Speaking to the Telegraph he said: “School is the only solution to the poverty cycle that we live in. I was raised by a single mother in a male- dominated society. The school that I went to was approximately two hours walk away. My house was on top of a hill and my mother had to drag me across rivers. We used to walk 10 miles a day. The schooling was really bad.”
Ông Karki sinh ra trong hoàn cảnh nghèo khó ở vùng nông thôn Nepal. Phát biểu với Telegraph, ông nói: Trường học là giải pháp duy nhất cho vòng nghèo đói mà chúng ta đang sống. Tôi được nuôi dưỡng bởi một bà mẹ đơn thân trong một xã hội nam quyền. Ngôi trường mà tôi đến học cách đó khoảng hai giờ đi bộ. Nhà tôi ở trên đỉnh đồi và mẹ tôi phải kéo tôi qua sông. Chúng tôi đã từng đi bộ 10 dặm một ngày. Việc đi học thực sự tệ.
Karki’s mother was a firm believer in education, and at age eight Karki secured a scholarship to study in the capital, Kathmandu. From there he won scholarships and completed Master’s degrees in China and the United States. He returned to Nepal in 2015 and decided to stay and develop the education system. Karki said: “Inequalities in a country can only be decreased if there is access to knowledge.”
Mẹ của Karki là một người tin tưởng vững chắc vào giáo dục, và khi 8 tuổi, Karki đã nhận được học bổng du học tại thủ đô Kathmandu. Ở đó, ông giành được học bổng và hoàn thành chương trình Thạc sĩ tại Trung Quốc và Hoa Kỳ. Ông trở lại Nepal vào năm 2015 và quyết định ở lại và phát triển hệ thống giáo dục. Karki nói: Bất bình đẳng trong một quốc gia chỉ có thể được giảm bớt nếu có khả năng tiếp cận kiến thức.
The devastating earthquake in 2015 damaged 9,300 schools, displacing hundreds of thousands of families and pushing 700,000 people into poverty. As of January 2018, only 2,891 schools had been rebuilt. Karki said: “We came at a crucial time, where we could redo or undo what had been done badly. Education was really bad in terms of infrastructure, quality of teachers and training. It was an opportunity for us to really make things better.”
Trận động đất kinh hoàng năm 2015 đã làm hư hại 9.300 trường học, khiến hàng trăm nghìn gia đình phải di dời và đẩy 700.000 người vào cảnh nghèo đói. Tính đến tháng 1 năm 2018, chỉ có 2.891 trường học được xây dựng lại. Karki nói: “Chúng tôi đến vào một thời điểm quan trọng, nơi chúng tôi có thể làm lại hoặc hoàn tác những gì đã làm tồi tệ. Nền giáo dục thực sự tệ về cơ sở hạ tầng, chất lượng giáo viên và đào tạo. Đó là cơ hội để chúng tôi thực sự làm cho mọi thứ trở nên tốt đẹp hơn.
UWS Nepal has so far built 30 schools and has seven more in construction. The schools run between 10 am and 3:30 pm, and have an 86 percent average attendance rate, which Karki says is almost double the attendance rate for government schools in the vicinity. Sexual health classes are taught to the children in the later years.
UWS Nepal cho đến nay đã xây dựng được 30 trường học và 7 trường học nữa đang được xây dựng. Các trường học hoạt động trong khoảng thời gian từ 10 giờ sáng đến 3 giờ 30 chiều, và có tỷ lệ đi học trung bình là 86%, mà Karki nói là gần gấp đôi tỷ lệ đi học của các trường công lập (trường do chính phủ xây dựng) ở vùng lân cận. Các lớp học về sức khỏe tình dục được dạy cho trẻ em trong những năm sau đó.
