If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius , they will cause a disaster.

Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held.

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 41 to 50. 
Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability. On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease (thanh thản) to heat a huge mass of molten (nóng chảy) metal in a furnace(lò nung), or to boil a jug (bình, lọ) for a cup of coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed (khai thác) to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances. To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation. Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels. 
Question 41: The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first paragraph to . 
A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy

Question 42: Before electricity, what was sometimes passed through pipes to heat rooms?

A. It is cheap and easy to use. 	B. It is used to drive motor engines. 
C. It can be adapted to various uses. 	D. It can be made with ease. 
Question 44: What do we call machines that make electricity? 
A. Voltages. 	B. Electric magnets. 	C. Generators or turbines. 	D. Pipes and radiators. 
Question 45: The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are .. 
A. atomic power and water 	B. water and coal 	C. sunlight and wind power 	D. wind and gas 
Question 46: The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to . 
A. harmful effects 	B. the tides 	C. scientists 	D. new ways 
Question 47: Electric magnets are used in steel works to .. 
A. lift heavy weights up to ten tons 	B. test the steel for strength

Question 48: The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity is that they .
. A. do not pollute the environment 	B. are more reliable

Question 49: Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases? 
A. Sunlight. 	B. Petrol. 	C. Water. 	D. Wind.
