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

Most of the fastening devices used in clothing today, like the shoelace, the button, and the safely pin. have existed in some form in various cultures for thousands of years. But the zipper was the brainchild of one American inventor, namely Whitcomb Judson of Chicago. At the end of the 19th century. Judson was already a successful inventor, with a dozen patents to his credit for mechanical items such as improvements to motors and railroad braking system.

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.

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.

The first thing to do when you have a trip abroad is to check that your passport is valid. Holders of out–of–date passports are not allowed to travel overseas. Then you can prepare for your trip. If you don't know the language, you can have all kinds of problems communicating with local people. Buying a pocket dictionary can make a difference. You'll be able to order food, buy things in shops and ask for directions. It's worth getting one. Also there's nothing worse than arriving at your destination to find there are no hotels available. The obvious way to avoid this is to book in advance. This can save you money too. Another frustrating thing that can happen is to go somewhere and not know about important sightseeing places. Get a guide book before you leave and make the most of your trip. It's a must.

Then, when you are ready to pack your clothes, make sure they are the right kind. It's no good packing sweaters and coats for a hot country or T–shirts and shorts for a cold one. Check the local climate before you leave.

Also, be careful how much you pack in your bags. It's easy to take too many clothes and then not have enough space for souvenirs. But make sure you pack essentials. What about money? Well, it's a good idea to take some local currency with you but not too much. There are conveniently located cash machines (ATMs) in most big cities, and it's usually cheaper to use them than change your cash in banks. Then you'll have more money to spend. When you are at your destination, other travelers often have great information they are happy to share. Find out what they have to say. It could enhance your travelling experience.
