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 following questions from 41 to 45.
 Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.
Question 41: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT_____ .
A. the lack of interaction with a group	B. the different system of supervision
C. the fact that the work space is in the home	D. the opportunities for advancement
Question 42: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?
A. More than 8 million	B. More than predicted in Business Week
C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today	D. Fewer than last year
Question 43: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _______.
A. the manager of a group of telecommuters B. a reporter C. a telecommuter	 D. a statistician
Question 44: The word "resistance" could best be replaced by_______.
A. participation	B. consideration	C. opposition	D. alteration
Question 45: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. A definition of telecommuting	B. The advantages of telecommuting
C. An overview of telecommuting	D. The failure of telecommuting
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 following questions from 46 to 55.
 Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level.
Question 46: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
Question 47: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals	B. cholesterol	C. canola oil	D. vitamins
Question 48: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact	B. a little	C. indefinitely	D. a lot
Question 49: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price B. decreased production C. dietary changes in hens	D. concerns about cholesterol
Question 50: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A. 3/4	 B. 2/3	C. 1/2	 D. 1/3
Question 51: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied	B. destroyed	C. tested	D. described
Question 52: What is the meaning of 'back up'?
A. reverse	B. advance	C. block	D. support
Question 53: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?
A. The results are blended.	B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive.	D. The results are mingled together.
Question 54: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs EXCEPT? A. boiled	 B. poached	 C. scrambled	 D. fried
Question 55: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake	B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake	D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake

II. TOPIC: Write to describe your all-time favorite book.
In life, although I have several hobbies, reading books is the one I am more interested in. I have read countless books so far, but THỜI XA VẮNG (THE FARAWAY TIME), a romance novel written by one of the most Vietnamese 20 century famous and beloved novelists LÊ LỰU, is the one that has created the greatest impression on me ever since.
	The story is set in the time of our war against the American troops in the South to unify the country and the construction to build a communist country in the North. The ground of the story is in a tranquil poor farming village in the North. The main characters are GIANG MINH SAI, a village schoolboy a veteran then a brick-works manager, a schoolgirl then a city dweller named HUONG, and some other characters.
	When still school students of about grade 8 (the first year high school at that time), SAI and HUONG had fallen in love with each other. They harbored and norished a very romantic love, but modern at the time being, though the two families did not want them to be. Growing up together in that poor village SAI and HUONG then chose the two different paths though their soul seemed to belong to each other. HUONG furthered her study in a city bearing her sweetheart’s image and love, wishing to reunite one day. SAI joined the army, devoted his life, and love to the national ideal targets, he even got married to the girl he could not share his bed. Then came their old age, the two lovers bitterly realized that they had forgot their precious emotion for their day-dream goals.
	The scenes in the book are interesting poetic and romantic, typical for a young couple’s enthusiastic truthful, deep love. The story is touching and rather sad. The story leaves us valuable lessons in life, and helps us know more about the lifestyle of our ancestors. I must say that it is one of the best and most moving novels I have ever read in my life.
