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 following questions.
If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you. You can go swimming all year round in the warm water. You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you like boats, you can go sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially popular in Hawaii. surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.
Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”, which means “to slide on a wave”. If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good swimmer. You also have to have an excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm. When you get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board. The wave will begin to rise under you. You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave. The important thing is to keep your balance and not fall down. If you can manage this, you will have an exciting ride all the way in to the shore.
Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface of the ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm. They contain hundreds of kinds of colorful fish. The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral reefs of red, gold, white and light purple. Among these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles. Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. “Scuba” means “Self-contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming around far under water. In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive. After the courses, you can get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone. Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and great care are always necessary when you are scuba diving.
If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Less equipment is needed, just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few minutes to learn how to snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface. Breathing through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself moving with your flippers. Even from the surface like this, there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.

A. Snorkeling involves breathing through the tube, floating on the surface and moving with flippers
B. Snorkeling requires more expensive equipment than scuba diving
C. Snorkeling is for adventurous people
D. Snorkeling was invented in ancient times

Nếu bạn thích thể thao dưới nước, Hawaii là nơi dành cho bạn. Bạn có thể bơi quanh năm trong nước ấm. Bạn có thể đi câu cá thể thao từ bờ hoặc từ thuyền. Nếu bạn thích thuyền, bạn có thể đi thuyền buồm, chèo xuồng hoặc lướt ván buồm. Hoặc, bạn cũng có thể thử một số môn thể thao nước khác đặc biệt phổ biến ở Hawaii: lướt sóng, lặn biển và lặn biển. Lướt sóng là môn thể thao bắt đầu ở Hawaii cách đây nhiều năm. Người Hawai gọi nó là "he'e nalu", có nghĩa là "trượt trên sóng". Nếu bạn muốn thử lướt, bạn cần, trước hết, là một người bơi tốt. Bạn cũng phải có cảm giác cân bằng. Bạn phải bơi ra khỏi bãi biển với ván trượt của bạn dưới cánh tay của bạn. Khi bạn đến nơi sóng bắt đầu phá vỡ, bạn chờ đợi một thời điểm bình tĩnh. Sau đó, bạn cố gắng đứng lên trên bảng. Sóng sẽ bắt đầu tăng theo bạn. Bạn phải cố gắng điều khiển bảng bằng đôi chân của bạn để bạn ở trên đỉnh của làn sóng. Điều quan trọng là giữ thăng bằng và không bị ngã. Nếu bạn có thể điều khiển nó, bạn sẽ có một cách đi thú vị tất cả các cách vào bờ. Lặn bình khí và lặn dùng ống thở là hai cách để có được một cái nhìn gần gũi với vẻ đẹp nằm dưới bề mặt của đại dương. Các vùng biển ngoài quần đảo Hawaii đều trong lành, trong lành và trong lành. Chúng chứa hàng trăm loại cá đầy màu sắc. Thế giới dưới đáy biển thậm chí còn nhiều màu sắc hơn bởi những rạn san hô đỏ, vàng, trắng và tím nhạt. Trong số các rạn san hô này có thể có những con cá lớn hơn hoặc rùa biển. Lặn biển cho phép bạn xem những điểm tham quan dưới biển thú vị nhất. "Scuba" có nghĩa là "Thiết bị thở nước dưới nước độc lập", tức là các thiết bị để thở và bơi xung quanh dưới nước. Tại Hawaii, bạn có thể học các khóa học đặc biệt để học cách lặn. Sau khóa học, bạn có thể có được một chứng chỉ cho phép bạn lặn một mình. Vì nó có thể nguy hiểm nên bạn phải luôn luôn cần đến sự hướng dẫn và chăm sóc tuyệt vời khi bạn lặn biển. Nếu bạn thích mạo hiểm, bạn có thể thử lặn bằng ống thở thay vì lặn bằng bình khí. Cần ít thiết bị hơn, chỉ cần một mặt nạ, một ống thở (lặn) và chân vịt cho chân của bạn. Chỉ mất vài phút để học cách lặn. Mặc dù bạn không thể đi sâu vào nước, bạn có thể bơi với mặt bạn dưới mặt nước. Thở qua ống, bạn trôi nổi trên bề mặt, và giữ cho mình di chuyển với cánh tay của bạn. Ngay cả từ bề mặt như thế này, sẽ có rất nhiều màu sắc và cảnh đẹp để xem.

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 following questions.
Most people think that lions only come from Africa. This is understandable because in fact most lions do come from there but this has not always been the case. If we went back ten thousand years. we would find that there were lions roaming vast sections of the globe. However now, unfortunately only a very small section of the lion’s former habitat remains.
Asiatic lions are sub-species of African lions. It is almost a hundred thousand years since the Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species. At one time the Asiatic lion was living as far west as Greece and they were found from there, but in a band that spreads east through various countries of the Middle East, all the way to India. In museums now, you can see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiatic lion on them. Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C.
However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lions roaming free to thousand years ago. Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the other areas declined steadily, but it was only in the nineteenth century that they disappeared from everywhere but in India. The Gir Wildlife Sanctuary in India was established especially to protect the Asiatic lion. There are now around three hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in this sanctuary. However, despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present danger of disease. This is what killed more than a third of Africa’s Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there. India’s lions are particular vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The reason for this is interesting – it is because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a prince who took a particular interest in them. He was very healthy, and he managed to protect them otherwise they would probably have died out completely.
When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They are very impressive animals and you would never guess that they this vulnerability when you look at them.

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 31 to 35.
Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
