Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The
different species that still exist today, namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian, South
China and Sumatra tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. Due to irresponsible
hunting, the Bali, Caspian and Java tigers have already become extinct. This could soon
happen to the other species too.

had taken up more of the land to build upon, the tigers found less area for themselves to
hunt. They thus turned to farms to get their food. Farmers’ livestock were attacked by
these tigers. People were then encouraged to hunt and kill these animals with the promise
of rewards. Even after the threat of tigers on livestock was over, man continued to hunt
tigers, this time for recreation. Poachers too hunt tigers for their body parts knowing that
the skin of tigers is much sought after. Bones and other organs are also used as
ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine. Although killing is illegal, it is still being
carried out unless it is stopped, the remaining species of tigers will soon become extinct

Son Doong Cave has become more famous after the American Broadcasting
Company (ABC) aired a live programme featuring its magnificence on ‘Good Morning
America’ in May 2015.

Located in Quang Binh Province, Son Doong Cave was discovered by a local man named
Ho Khanh in 1991, and became known internationally in 2009 thanks to British cavers,
led by Howard Limbert. The cave was formed about 2 to 5 million years ago by river
water eroding away the limestone underneath the mountain. It contains some of the tallest
known stalagmites in the world - up to 70 metres tall. The cave is more than 200 metres
wide, 150 metres high, and nearly 9 kilometres long, with caverns big enough to fit an
entire street inside them. Son Doong Cave is recognised as the largest cave in the world
by BCRA (British Cave Research Association) and selected as one of the most beautiful
on earth by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation).
In August 2013, the first tourist group explored the cave on a guided tour. Permits are
now required to access the cave and are made available on a limited basis. Only 500
permits were issued for the 2015 season, which runs from February to August. After
August, heavy rains cause river levels to rise and make the cave largely inaccessible.

America’ by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC).

The price of holidays can fluctuate a great deal throughout the year, so you can save a lot
if you are flexible with your travel dates and avoid peak holiday times. It can be also
cheaper if you book well in advance. Before your departure, make sure you get as much
information about your destination as you can. Find out if you require any special visas or
permits to travel there. Think about spending money as well. Will you be able to access
your own money easily enough or will you need to take cash with you? Think about
eating larger lunches and smaller evening meals to help your money go further, as lunch
is generally cheaper. Make sure that you keep sufficient identification with you at all
times. It may also help to email a copy of your passport details to yourself, in case it is
lost or stolen. Label your suitcases clearly so that they can be easily identified as yours. It
can be useful to store a copy of your itinerary in a prominent place in your suitcase so
that the airline will know where to find you if your luggage gets lost. Be sure to pack any
medication or other essential items in your hand luggage. If your flight is delayed, or
your luggage is lost, these can be difficult to obtain in an airport or foreign country.

Question 23.Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. Travel procedures B. Travel advice

C. How to adjust travel dates D. Protect your luggage

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However,
he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be
remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he
created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worldwide
contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics,
chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years
after the first awarded ceremony.

Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on
this sum is used for the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to 125.000 dollars.

Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death , the awards (gold
medals, illuminated diploma and money) are present to the winners. Sometimes politics
plays an important roles in the judges’ decision. American have won numerous science
awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
 No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some
people have won two prizes, but this is rare; other have shares their prizes.

Câu 28: When did the first award ceremony take place?

A. 1895 B. 1901 C. 1962 D. 1968

Câu 29: Why was the Nobel’s prize established?

A. to recognize worldwide contributions to humanity

B. to resolve political differences

C. to honor the inventor of dynamite

D. to spend money.

Câu 30: In which field have American received the most awards?

A. Literature B. Peace C. Economics D. Science

Câu 31: In how many field are the prizes given?

A. 2 B. 5 C. 6 D. 10

Câu 32: Which of the following statements is NOT true.

A. Awards vary in moneytory value

B. Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel’s invention

C. Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners

D. A few individuals have won two awards.

English is one of the most popular languages in the world. It comes second in the
number of speakers after Chinese. In Vietnam, more and more people are studying
English and they consider it a key to success. However, not everyone knows how to learn
English effectively.

practice regularly. You should make use of every opportunity to speak English with
friends in class or at English speaking clubs or ourselves in front of the mirror. Learning
by heart all the words does not help much if you do not read a lot because you will easily
forget what you have learnt. Reading books, listening to radio and watching films are
better ways to memorize words. Besides. English learners should not be so shy because
making mistakes is unavoidable in learning foreign languages. Practicing speaking a lot
is a good way to correct your mistakes.
