answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Sweden can be one of the first countries to stop using cash. In most cities, buses do not take any cash.
Instead, you pay for your ticket by card or mobile phone before you get on. Some businesses only take cards
and there are banks which do not deal with any notes or coins.
In a cashless society, you do not need to worry about having enough change for the bus. You will feel much
more secure as well. Statistics show that since the decrease in the cash economy, there is not as much crime in Sweden.
However, not all Swedes like the idea. Elderly people complain much about the problems of paying by
card. Small businesses are also unhappy because they have to pay a little money to the bank each time
somebody pays them using a card.
It is not just richer countries that are becoming cashless. Many countries in the developing world have
found that mobile phones are perfect for transferring money. For example, in Kenya, only a few people have
a bank account, but lots of Kenyans have a mobile phone. Now people can pay for things in shops, pay their
bills and their children's school fees, and receive their salary with their phones. Kenya has led a revolution in mobile banking.

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 44 to 50)
It is often held that technology in general does little to help family relationships as, in many cases, family
members are more interested in their smartphones and the TV than they are in each other. Before smartphones,
the TV was blamed the most for breakdowns in communication between parents and children. It was argued
that 'the box' stopped them from talking to each other, and clashes between family members over what
programmes to watch created barriers and caused resentment.
However, TV programmes can be both informative and entertaining. They often provide topics for family
members to discuss, bringing them closer together rather than driving them further apart. What is more,
twenty-first century families do not need to watch the same programme at the same time. The fact that people
can watch what they want results in more time for families to be together rather than less.
The smartphone has taken over from the TV as the major reason for a lack of communication between
family members. Parents often do not see why their children spend so much time online and fail to see the
importance of having an online identity while most teens feel their online image is part of who they are. They
often criticise the amount of time their children spend online rather than attempting to understand why they do
it. In fact, adults are often not very good examples themselves. Who has not witnessed a table at a restaurant
where all the family members are silently focused on their mobile devices?
Broadly speaking, smartphones do have some negative effects on family relationships. This technology is
still relatively new, so many families have not yet learned how to deal with it. Parents and children should
discuss how they use technology to help them all make the most of technology instead of blaming it for their problems.
(Adapted from High Note)
Question 44: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Deal with Generation Gap in the Family
B. How Technology Affects Family Relationships
C. Negative Impacts of Technology on Schoolchildren
D. TV and Smartphone as Means of Communication
Question 45: The word clashes in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A. chances B. benefits C. arguments D. TV programmes
Question 46: According to paragraph 1, the TV .
A. makes family members become more interested in each other.
B. is often believed to be greatly helpful in fostering family bonds.
C. encouraged more communication among family members.
D. was claimed to prevent parents from conversing with children.
Question 47: The word them in paragraph 2 refers to . A. positive B. minimal C. topics D. harmful
Question 48: The word negative in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to . A. family members B. barriers C. interesting D. worries
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The lack of communication in the family is now mostly blamed on the TV.
B. The majority of teenagers regard their online image as important to their identity.
C. The TV can serve as a source of both information and entertainment.
D. Parents and children should work on how to utilise technology to their advantage.

B. Twenty-first century families are generally not in favor of watching television together.

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 39 to 43.
Sweden can be one of the first countries to stop using cash. In most cities, buses do not take any cash.
Instead, you pay for your ticket by card or mobile phone before you get on. Some businesses only
take cards and there are banks which do not deal with any notes or coins.
In a cashless society, you do not need to worry about having enough change for the bus. You will feel
much more secure as well. Statistics show that since the decrease in the cash economy, there is not as much crime in Sweden.
However, not all Swedes like the idea. Elderly people complain much about the problems of paying
by card. Small businesses are also unhappy because they have to pay a little money to the bank each
time somebody pays them using a card.
It is not just richer countries that are becoming cashless. Many countries in the developing world have
found that mobile phones are perfect for transferring money. For example, in Kenya, only a few
people have a bank account, but lots of Kenyans have a mobile phone. Now people can pay for things
in shops, pay their bills and their children's school fees, and receive their salary with their phones.
Kenya has led a revolution in mobile banking.

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 44 to 50.
It is often held that technology in general does little to help family relationships as, in many cases,
family members are more interested in their smartphones and the TV than they are in each other.
Before smartphones, the TV was blamed the most for breakdowns in communication between parents
and children. It was argued that 'the box' stopped them from talking to each other, and clashes between
family members over what programmes to watch created barriers and caused resentment.
However, TV programmes can be both informative and entertaining. They often provide topics for
family members to discuss, bringing them closer together rather than driving them further apart. What
is more, twenty-first century families do not need to watch the same programme at the same time.
The fact that people can watch what they want results in more time for families to be together rather than less.
The smartphone has taken over from the TV as the major reason for a lack of communication between
family members. Parents often do not see why their children spend so much time online and fail to
see the importance of having an online identity while most teens feel their online image is part of who
they are. They often criticise the amount of time their children spend online rather than attempting to
understand why they do it. In fact, adults are often not very good examples themselves. Who has not
witnessed a table at a restaurant where all the family members are silently focused on their mobile devices?
Broadly speaking, smartphones do have some negative effects on family relationships. This
technology is still relatively new, so many families have not yet learned how to deal with it. Parents
and children should discuss how they use technology to help them all make the most of technology
instead of blaming it for their problems.
(Adapted from High Note)

Đọc đoạn văn sau và đánh dấu chữ cái A, B, C hoặc D trên phiếu trả lời của bạn để chỉ ra câu
trả lời đúng cho mỗi câu hỏi từ 44 đến 50.
Người ta thường cho rằng công nghệ nói chung không giúp ích gì nhiều cho các mối quan hệ gia
đình vì trong nhiều trường hợp, các thành viên trong gia đình quan tâm đến điện thoại thông minh
và TV hơn là quan tâm đến nhau. Trước điện thoại thông minh, TV bị đổ lỗi nhiều nhất cho sự cố
giao tiếp giữa cha mẹ và con cái. Người ta lập luận rằng 'chiếc hộp' đã ngăn họ nói chuyện với nhau
và xung đột giữa các thành viên trong gia đình về những chương trình nên xem đã tạo ra rào cản và gây ra sự phẫn nộ.
Tuy nhiên, các chương trình truyền hình có thể vừa mang tính thông tin vừa mang tính giải trí. Họ
thường đưa ra các chủ đề để các thành viên trong gia đình thảo luận, giúp họ xích lại gần nhau hơn
là khiến họ xa nhau hơn. Hơn nữa, các gia đình ở thế kỷ 21 không cần phải xem cùng một chương
trình vào cùng một thời điểm. Việc mọi người có thể xem những gì họ muốn dẫn đến thời gian gia
đình ở bên nhau nhiều hơn chứ không phải ít hơn.
Điện thoại thông minh đã thay thế TV là lý do chính dẫn đến việc thiếu liên lạc giữa các thành viên
trong gia đình. Các bậc cha mẹ thường không hiểu tại sao con cái họ dành quá nhiều thời gian trực
tuyến và không thấy tầm quan trọng của việc có danh tính trực tuyến trong khi hầu hết thanh thiếu
niên cảm thấy hình ảnh trực tuyến của họ là một phần con người họ. Họ thường chỉ trích lượng thời
gian con cái họ dành cho mạng thay vì cố gắng hiểu tại sao chúng lại làm như vậy. Trên thực tế, bản
thân người lớn thường không phải là tấm gương tốt. Ai đã không chứng kiến một bàn tại một nhà
hàng nơi tất cả các thành viên trong gia đình đang im lặng tập trung vào thiết bị di động của họ?
Nói chung, điện thoại thông minh có một số tác động tiêu cực đến các mối quan hệ gia đình. Công
nghệ này còn khá mới nên nhiều gia đình chưa biết cách xử lý. Cha mẹ và con cái nên thảo luận về
cách họ sử dụng công nghệ để giúp tất cả họ tận dụng tối đa công nghệ thay vì đổ lỗi cho nó về các vấn đề của họ.
Câu hỏi 44: Điều nào sau đây có thể là tiêu đề tốt nhất cho đoạn văn?
A. Làm thế nào để giải quyết khoảng cách thế hệ trong gia đình
B. Công nghệ ảnh hưởng đến các mối quan hệ gia đình như thế nào
C. Tác động tiêu cực của công nghệ đối với học sinh
D. TV và điện thoại thông minh là phương tiện liên lạc
Câu hỏi 45: Từ clashs trong đoạn 1 gần nghĩa nhất với
A. cơ hội B. lợi ích C. lập luận D. chương trình truyền hình
Câu hỏi 46: Theo đoạn 1, TV .
A. làm cho các thành viên trong gia đình trở nên quan tâm đến nhau hơn.
B. thường được cho là rất hữu ích trong việc thúc đẩy mối quan hệ gia đình.
C. khuyến khích giao tiếp nhiều hơn giữa các thành viên trong gia đình.
D. được cho là đã ngăn cản cha mẹ nói chuyện với con cái.
Câu hỏi 47: Từ them trong đoạn 2 đề cập đến .
A. tích cực B. tối thiểu C. chủ đề D. có hại
Câu hỏi 48: Từ phủ định trong đoạn 4 gần nghĩa nhất với . A. thành viên gia đình B. rào cản C. thú vị D. lo lắng
Câu hỏi 49: Điều nào sau đây KHÔNG đúng theo đoạn văn?
A. Việc thiếu thông tin liên lạc trong gia đình hiện nay chủ yếu là do TV.
B. Phần lớn thanh thiếu niên coi hình ảnh trực tuyến của họ là quan trọng đối với danh tính của họ.
C. TV có thể phục vụ như một nguồn thông tin và giải trí.
D. Cha mẹ và con cái nên tìm cách tận dụng công nghệ để mang lại lợi ích cho họ.
Câu hỏi 50: Điều nào sau đây có thể được suy ra từ đoạn văn?
A. Hầu hết các gia đình thích nói chuyện với nhau hơn là sử dụng điện thoại thông minh trong nhà hàng.
B. Các gia đình ở thế kỷ 21 thường không thích xem tivi cùng nhau.
C. Các bậc cha mẹ trong quá khứ không chỉ trích con cái họ xem tivi quá nhiều.
D. Nhiều gia đình vẫn chưa sử dụng tốt điện thoại thông minh.

answer to each of the questions from 39- 43
Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be 60
and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises concerns
about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on economic
integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen the two-child
policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the two-child policy the
government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years. But its effect could be
creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the government loosened the two-child
policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent
Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary
evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while
creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for
younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per cent of Vietnam's
labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction
where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks, raising the
retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem
in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.
Question 39: The best title for this passage could be ________.
A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam
C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
Question 40: Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in the paragraph 1?
A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population, this leads to more concerns about
healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly.
B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded.
C. The government would promote families to have two children to compensate for the ageing
population within the next 20 years.
D. In the next 15-17 years, Vietnam's economy will need a large labor force to integrate with global economy.
Question 41: The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ________? A. two-Child policy B. aging population C. retirement age
D. economic integration
Question 42: In the 2rd paragraph, the writer suggests that ________.
A. The Ministry of Labor has applied raising the retirement age in May 2017.
B. Raising the retirement age can reduce job opportunities for younger generations.
C. The elderly whose age is 50 would be dangerous if they continued to work
D. Raising the retirement age and stopping two-child policy can be considered as long-term and effective solutions.
Question 43: The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ________. A. constant B. permanent
C. short-term D. long-term

Volunteering offers many of the same social benefits, with the added bonus of helping others and
developing useful skills to put on your CV. Plus, students are in a unique position to help, suggests Tom
Fox. "They can take their enthusiasm and excitement for opportunities and share their passions, subject
knowledge and experience with people." The idea of giving up time for nothing might seem impractical at
first, especially once the pressures of study and coursework or exams begin to mount up. However, Michelle
Wright, CEO of charity support organization Cause4, suggests seeing volunteering as a two-way street. "I
think it is fine for undergraduates to approach volunteering as a symbiotic relationship where doing good
is just one part of the motivation for reaching personal and professional goals."
Katerina Rudiger, head of skills and policy campaigns at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and
Development (CIPD), says: "Volunteering can be a valuable way of gaining that experience, as well as
building confidence, broadening your horizons, becoming a better team player and developing those all-
important 'employability skills' such as communication and decision making." Amanda Haig, graduate
HR manager, agrees that volunteering can help your employment prospects. "Volunteering can
demonstrate positive personality traits and skill sets, such as proactivity, and teamwork," she says.
A positive side-effect of volunteering is improving your time at university by getting involved in
the local community. Leaving the student bubble can make your time as an undergraduate much more
varied. At Bath Spa University, more than 1,000 students volunteered over the past year, doing everything
from working on local environmental projects to helping in schools or assisting the elderly. ”Quite often
there can be a divide between students and permanent residents," says students' union president Amy
Dawson, "but if students invest a little time now, they will be giving something back to the local community
and will reap the benefits in the future."
“You might also find that volunteering helps your studies if you choose the right program. At
