VI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. 
For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called “latchkey(tự giải phóng) children”. They are children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern. Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned that they were house keys. She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety. The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume up. It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most parents are slow to admit that they leave their children alone. 
Question 56: The phrase “an empty house” in the passage mostly means ______. 
A. a house with no people inside 	B. a house with no furniture 
C. a house with nothing inside 	D. a house with too much space 
Question 57: One thing that the children in the passage share is that ______. 
A. they all watch TV 	B. they spend part of each day alone 
C. they are from single-parent families 	D. they all wear jewelry 
Question 58: The phrase “latchkey children” in the passage means children who ______. 
A. close doors with keys and watch TV by themselves B. like to carry latches and keys with them everywhere 
C. are locked inside houses with latches and keys D. look after themselves while their parents are not at home 
Question 59: The main problem of latchkey children is that they ______. 
A. are also found in middle-class families 	B. watch too much television during the day 
C. suffer a lot from being left alone 	D. are growing in numbers 
Question 60: What is the main idea of the first paragraph? 
A. How kids spend free time. 	B. Why kids hate going home. 
C. Bad condition of latchkey children. 	D. Children’s activities at home. 
Question 61: Why did a lot of kids have chains around their necks with keys attached? 
A. They had to use the keys to open school doors. 
B. Schools didn’t allow them to wear jewelry, so they wore keys instead. 
C. They were fully grown and had become independent. 
D. They would use the keys to enter their houses when they came home. 
Question 62: What do latchkey children suffer most from when they are at home alone? 
A. Fear. 	B. Tiredness. 	C. Boredom. 	D. Loneliness. 
Question 63: Lynette Long learned of latchkey children’s problems by ______. 
A. visiting their homes B. delivering questionnaires C. interviewing their parents 	D. talking to them 
Question 64: What is the most common way for latchkey children to deal with fears?

II. TOPIC: Write about measures to take to protect endangered animals.
	We now all know clearly that our environment is worsening day by day. Although countless efforts have been made to better the situations, the matter seems not to be much improved. Thousands of species have been vanishing, many other thousands are being threatened to be extinct. To solve the problems, or even to slower the process of extinction, there are a number of measures that should be taken to protect endangered animals.
	The first problem is that people do not know much about the need to rare and endangered animals. Therefore, people should be taught about the importance of the wildlife and rare animals in the ecosystem. It also seems that projects to save endangered animals do not have sufficient funds, and that our mission is to raise enough funds to run these plans efficiently.
	Another bad thing is that the habitats for wild animals are being seriously damaged or polluted. To better homes for the wildlife we should protect their habitats from being degraded and then help build up good habitats for all species to live in. Sometimes, people who live in or near the endangered species’ habitats have poor living conditions and rely mostly on wildlife products for their livelihood. Urgently, governments should raise these people’s living standards by providing them with jobs, and help them to live well with the nature.
	The other reasons are that some countries do not have laws to protect the vulnerable animals, people keep buying fashionable wildlife products, and there are not enough wildlife habitat reserves. To deal with these challenges, governments all over the world had better soon pass and enforce laws to protect the nature, to make the purchasing products related to wild species and to build up more and more natural reserves for endangered ones to survive and develop.
	Protecting the environment today is offering us and the next generations more prosperous future. To save the endangered species means to save the earth and to save ourselves.
