of dry toast with a meal. This slice of toast has the same 60 to 70 calories that a slice of bread has. Toasting
removes only moisture. So if you are watching calories, eat your bread plain or toasted as you like it. Just don't add
butter and jam. COFFEE or a cold shower can sober up a drunk. In fact these and other activities don't. A cold
shower is useless. A full meal does no good. Food can slow down the speed that alcohol goes into the blood, but
only if you eat and drink at the same time. Coffee can make a tipsy person seem more alert because of the caffeine,
but the strongest coffee will not return his reflexes or sense of judgment. Two cups of coffee don't change a drinker
into a safe driver. Drunkenness is caused by a lot of alcohol in the blood. You can do a little or nothing to make a

I. Read the following passage adapted from Pre-Essence Reading 1 by Rachel Lee, and mark the letter A, B, C,
or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are
saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate with
each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean
different things in different countries. If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head
to say no and shake it to say yes - the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or
snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.
In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in your
pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes to
others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left hands
when going to the bathroom.
In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in
India, whistling in public is considered rude. In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp
at the end of a meal to show that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle)
means ‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in

Is your life full of stress? Maybe it is your astrological sign. A study in Australia last year said signs with
the most stress are Aquarius (Jan 20 to Feb 18), Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Virgo (Aug 23 to Sept 22) and Cancer
(June 21 to July 22). The people who have peaceful lives are under the signs of Pisces (Feb 21 to March 20) ,
Scorpio (Oct 23 to Nov 22, and Taurus (April 21 to May 20). Kathleen Johnson, a Vermont astrologer, decided to
continue the work. She now has a stress chart that decides which marriages and friendships will be most
harmonious and which will be most stressed. Johnson says that any sign together with Pisces or Scorpio will
probably have an easy and peaceful time. But signs that are put together with Aquarius would always be stressed.
And marriage of Aquarius to Aquarius has no possibility of success. Says Johnson, "We should all work together.
If I know something as an astrologer that would help you as a doctor or psychotherapist, why not?".

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look
nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamel (men răng) covering of the tooth.
This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth.
Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we
ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can
examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have
toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
at least twice a day-once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean
between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese,
fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad,
especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay.
46. Good teeth help us to ____.
A. have good eyesight B. be important C. chew our food D. have good health

A. black B. decay C. painful D. crack

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication.
Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language
barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and
ideas. Tourists, the deaf and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of the
whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body
language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a
way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies (biểu thị) approval, while shaking the
head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of
