Exercise 10: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
 A large number of inventions require years of arduous research and development before they are
perfected. For instance, Thomas Edison had to make more than 1,000 attempts to invent the
incandescent light bulb before he finally succeeded. History is replete with numerous other examples
of people trying, yet failing to make inventions before they eventually succeeded. Yet some inventions
have come about not through hard work but simply by accident in most cases, when someone
unintentionally invented something, the inventor was attempting to create something else. For
example, in the 1930s, chemist Roy Plunkett was attempting to make a new substance that could be
used to refrigerate items. He mixed some chemicals together. Then, he put them into a pressurized
container and cooled the mixture. By the time his experiment was complete, he had a new invention.
It was not a new substance that could be used for refrigeration though. Instead, he had invented
Teflon, which is today most commonly used to make nonstick pots and pans. Similarly, decades
earlier, John Pemberton was a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia. He was attempting to create a tonic
that people could use whenever they had headaches. While he was not successful in that endeavor,
he managed to invent Coca-Cola, the world - famous carbonated soft drink.
Scientists have also made crucial discoveries by accident when they were conducting experiments.
In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, an antibiotic in this manner. He discovered some
mold growing in a dish with some bacteria. He noticed that the bacteria seemed to be avoiding the
mold. When he investigated further, he determined some of the many useful properties of penicillin,

 Joyce Carol Oates published her first collection of short stories, By The North Gate, in 1963, two
years after she had received her master's degree from the University of Wisconsin and become an
instructor of English at the University of Detroit. Her productivity since then has been prodigious,
accumulating in less than two decades to nearly thirty titles, including novels, collections of short
stories and verse, play and literary criticism. In the meantime, she has continued to teach, moving in
1967 from the University of Detroit to the University of Windsor, in Ontario, and, in 1978, to
Princeton University Reviewers have admired her enormous energy, but find a productivity of such
magnitude difficult to assess.
In a period characterized by the abandonment of so much of the realistic tradition by authors such as
John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and Thomas Pynchon, Joyce Carol Oates has seemed at times
determinedly old-fashioned in her insistence on the essentially mimetic quality other fiction. Hers is a
world of violence, insanity, Fractured love, and hopeless loneliness. Although some of it appears to
come from her own direct observations, her dreams, and her fears, much more is clearly from the
experiences of others. Her first novel With Shuddering Fall (1964), dealt with stock car racing,
though she had never seen a race. In Them (1969) she focused on Detroit from the Depression
through the riots of 1967, drawing much of her material from the deep impression made on her by the
problems of one of her students. Whatever the source and however shocking the events or the
motivations, however, her fictive world remains strikingly akin to that real one reflected in the daily
newspapers, the television news and talk shows, and popular magazines of our day.
1. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To review Oates' By the North Gate B. To compare some modern writers
C. To outline Oates career D. To describe Oates'
childhood
2. Which of the following does the passage indicate about Joyce Carol Oates' first publication?
A. It was not successful B. It was a volume of
short fiction
C. It was part of her master's thesis. D. It was about an English instructor in Detroit
3. Which of the following does the passage suggest about Joyce Carol Oates in terms of her writing
career?
A. Most of her work is based on personal experience.
B. Her style is imitative of other contemporary authors.
C. She has produced a surprising amount of fictions in a relative short time.
D. She has experienced long nonproductive periods in her writing.
4. The word "fictive" in the passage is closest in meaning to ____.
A. imaginary B. attractive C. helpful D. impressive
5. What was the subject of Joyce Carol Oates' first novel?
A. Loneliness B. Racing C. Teaching D. Insanity
6. Why does the author mention Oates' book Them?

appropriate gift for the hostess. In Vietnam, a gift of whisky is appropriate for the host, and some fruit
or small gifts for the hostess, children or elders of the home. Besides, gifts should never be wrapped
in black paper because this color is unlucky and associated with funerals in this country. Gifts that
symbolize cutting such as scissors, knives and other sharp objects should be avoided because they
mean the cutting of the relationship. Also, in some countries you should not open the gift in front of
the giver and in others it would be an insult if you did not open the gift.
Beyond the gift itself, give careful consideration to the manner in which it is presented. Different
culture have different customs regarding how a gift should be offered – using only your right hand or
using both hand, for example. Others have strong traditions related to the appropriate way to accept a
gift. In Singapore, for instance, it is the standard to graciously refuse a gift several times before finally
accepting it. The recipient would never unwrap a gift in front of the giver for fear of appearing
greedy.
Understanding these traditions and customs, as well as taking time to choose an appropriate gift,
will help you to avoid any awkwardness or embarrassment as you seek to build a better cross –
cultural relationship.

 In Viet Nam festivals often take place during the three months in spring and in autumn when people
have a lot of leisure time. In addition, the climate in spring and autumn is especially suitable for
holding festivals and for festivals goers to enjoy.
Traditional festivals constitute a form of cultural activities, a spiritual product which the people have
created and developed during the course of history. From generation to generation, the Vietnamese
people preserve the fine tradition of “remembering the source while drinking water.” Festivals
are events which represent this tradition of the community as well as honor the holy figures named as
“gods”
the real persons in national history or legendary persons. The images of gods converge the noble
characteristics of mankind. They are national heroes who fought against foreign invaders, reclaimed
new lands, treated people, fought against natural calamities, or those legendary characters who affect
the earthly life.
Accordingly, first and foremost, festivals are events when people pay tribute to divinities that
rendered merits to the community and the nation. These are occasions when people come back to
either their natural or national roots, which form a sacred part in their mind. Furthermore, festivals
represent the strength of the commune or village, the local region or even the whole nation.
Worshipping the same god, the people unite in solidarity to overcome difficulties, striving for a happy
and wealthy life.
Moreover, festivals display the demand for creativity and enjoyment of spiritual and material cultural
values of all social strata. Festivals become a form of education under which fine traditional moral
values can be handed from one generation to the next in a unique way of combining spiritual
characters with competition and entertainment games.
Festivals are also the time people can express their sadness and worries in a wish that gods might
bestow favor on them to help them strive for a better life.
(Adapted from: Overview of Traditional Festival – Vietnam, Country and People)
1. What affects the time to hold festivals in Vietnam?
A. Festival holders’ timetable and festival goers’ preference.
B. The abundance of fruits and flowers and people’s health.
C. Weather conditions and people’s working pattern.
D. People’s preference of leisure time and climate.
2. Which of the followings best replace the word “course” in the second paragraph?
A. lesson B. road C. creation D. development
3. What does the author mean by saying “remembering the source while drinking water?”

B. Only drinking water of clear production sources
C. Forgetting the outlet as the source is more important

 In China, New Year's Day is on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. The date may
differ each year. It is at the end of January or in early February. People return home to China from all
over the world to celebrate the day. In other countries, people who live in big cities in areas called
Chinatown also celebrate.
The Chinese New Year is also called the Spring Festival. It is from the ancient tradition which
marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring with a celebration. It is the start of a new
growing cycle on the Earth. Family and friends get together. The event is full of colorful decorations
and traditions. Chinese New Year is over 4,000 years old.
Their celebration starts on New Year's Eve. A big party is held on the next day. The entire event
lasts 15 days. After the 15 days, the Lantern Festival occurs at the time of the first full moon. The
families start getting ready for the event two weeks ahead of time. They clean their houses to get rid
of all the bad luck which has accumulated in the previous year. After the celebration, a person cannot
clean a room for several days or he might sweep out the good luck which has come in. Cleaning up
also means apologizing to friends and paying off bills.
Red and gold are the Chinese colors. Banners in these colors are hung everywhere as decorations
with wishes for good luck written on them. For the Chinese, red and gold are lucky colors. Red
symbolizes life and happiness. Gold symbolizes riches. Food must be prepared ahead of time because
it is unlucky to use a knife during the New Year's festival. A knife may cut off all the good luck for the
New Year People decorate their houses with some of the lucky plants. Orange trees, pussy willows
and mandarin trees are several which are bought.
A celebration can only begin after the family pays respect to their dead relatives. On New Year's
Eve, the families go to the temple to pray for good luck in the coming year. They carry food or incense
to try to please the spirits of the dead. Chinese red and gold lanterns are hung all around the towns.
Firecrackers are also a big part of the celebration. They are lit outside businesses and houses to scare
away bad spirits. They are also a part of the big parades.
A lion performance is acted out by two people. One holds the head and one the body of the lion.
The performers put on acrobatic stunts. The lion actors run along the streets accompanied by drums,
gongs and cymbals. Their purpose is to bring goodwill to all. A 'laughing Buddha' goes along with the
lion actors. He teases the lion and makes him fall down and roll around. People standing along the
road place red envelopes into the lion's mouth. They contain money which is a donation for whatever
martial arts school is putting on the show. Sometimes a business hangs a head of lettuce from the
ceiling. The actor in the lion outfit has to reach up and pick off the red envelope from inside the
lettuce. Then the lion spits out the leaves to spread good luck. At the end of the performance, a scroll
pops out of the lion's mouth carrying a message of good luck. The usual colors for the lion outfit are
red, green and gold.

HOW GREEN ARE OUR FESTIVAL TRADITIONS?
Festivals come with many traditions that bring happiness and joy. However, some of these customs
may
not be environmentally friendly and may need to be changed for a sustainable future. Below are three
of
them.
Balloons and sky lanterns: In countries such as China, India, and Japan, releasing balloons or sky
lanterns provides a spectacular sight. They are also flown to bring good luck and send wishes to the
sky. However, the litter left behind by the balloons and lanterns is hard to decompose. The frames of
the lanterns can harm wild animals, and many animals mistake the balloons for food. Lanterns also
caused wildfires in the past.
Fireworks: In Australia, the US, and many other countries, there are fascinating fireworks displays
that people won't want to miss. However, fireworks actually release a lot of harmful chemicals into the
air. Like sky lanterns, they can also cause fires.
Christmas trees: Real or fake Christmas trees are often displayed in almost every house, office,
and shop during the festive season. When Christmas is over and the real trees go to landfills, they
produce methane and carbon dioxide, which are two harmful greenhouse gases. Fake trees can be
reused for many years, but during their production, harmful pollutants are released into the air. And
when they end up in landfills, they will take hundreds of years to decompose.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The history and cultural significance of festivals.
B. The joy and happiness brought by different festivals

 Many people go through life only thinking about their own well-being and that of those around
them. In reality, the well-being of the environment is just as important in certain ways. Without a
healthy and sustainable environment, their own health and ability to leave behind a sustainable planet
to those who live after them is negatively affected. Therefore, two main environmental benefits can be
realised with greener living.
Firstly, people can conserve natural resources. The natural resources that man has been enjoying
are beginning to disappear. Due to population growth, it is estimated that the use of natural resources
has more than tripled since 1970. At that rate, it is not difficult to see how these same resources will

eventually become depleted. It is important to conserve those precious resources so that others after
this generation can enjoy the same quality of living on this planet.
Secondly, people can reduce the harmful effects of climate change. Primarily due to human’s
reliance on fossil fuels over the years, climate change is a real concern. People continue to release
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, further polluting the air. This is leading to dramatic changes in
temperatures that need to be stopped. Greener living aims to do exactly that. For every person who
makes an effort to reduce his or her carbon footprint in the world, climate change can begin to
become less of a concern over time.

Exercise 10: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
 In a statistical report released by WHO, around 13 million deaths happen each year due to
environmental issues. To make it worse, multiple diseases are a result of surviving in a low-quality
environment. Lung diseases, asthma, stroke, issues in the heart are some of the examples. Green
living such as making environment-friendly and sustainable food choices, energy conservation can
help reduce pollution to some extent.
Firstly, the consumption of healthier foods can contribute to reducing pollution. People can start
by consuming eco-friendly foods by buying from local farmers, buying organic and seasonal foods, etc.
They are made of fewer pesticides that go into human bodies. Too much exposure to pesticides harms
the natural hormones present in the human body and as a result, people face many health issues like
lack of immunity, hormonal changes and also cancer.
Secondly, through energy conservation, people are saving both natural resources as well as
money. The light bulbs and other electrical appliances that are available in the market produce 2.3
billion tons of carbon dioxide, which pollutes the air severely. Today there are LED bulbs available in
the market that are eco-friendly and also save energy. Using such energy-efficient appliances reduces
up to 30% of the annual electricity bill.

 Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it
is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly
subjective and therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating,
whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban
areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and
psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it.
Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is
therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection
Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes
accustomed. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism,
including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict,
the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by
the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer
than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the
same way that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our
response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and
psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the
heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health
problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of
noise as well. Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily and they are more
sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very
important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase affecting the quality of rest during
sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours, as well as the way that we interact with
each other.
