Mozart, who was born on January 27, 1756 in the Austrian city of Salzburg, was neither the first nor the last child prodigy, but he was
certainly the greatest. He was born into a moderately prosperous family where his unmatched musical genius made itself known extremely
early. Mozart began learning to play the harpsichord at three and his earliest known work was composed in 1761 when he was five, the age
at which he also first appeared in public. From the age of six, when his father took him on the first foreign tour, Mozart toured the courts and
musical centres of Austria, Germany, France, England, Holland, Switzerland and Italy. It has been calculated that Mozart spent almost a third
of his short life - he died at the age of 35 - travelling. As Mozart matured, he continued to tour and give concerts. Mozart also wrote a lot of
operas. His first opera, Mitridate, Re di Ponto, was performed in Milan when he was 14, and it was the first of many successes in the theatre.

While almost everyone accepts the goal of developing skills in the three "R's" – reading, writing, and arithmetic – it often seems impossible to reach agreement
on any goal beyond that. In the broadest terms, the conflict over educational goals can be viewed as a conflict between conservatives and liberals, or, as they
are sometimes called, essentialists and progressives.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with them or
that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people give out
body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your
arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive. Holding your
head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident. All this affects the
way you feel about someone.
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something as simple as the fact that
he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a
smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child. Since even a single word can bring back a memory
such as that, you may never realize it is happening.
education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the
test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly
vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of change. It is important to recognize, however, that we
approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn't require the kind of basic
education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of
American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed.
The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while skilled jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce.
Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that
require learning throughout a lifetime. Câu 51: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of change because ______.
A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far

B. the government of the United States want to drive social changes in their own ways
C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce
D. any American citizen who wants to change his driving licence must be very well-educated

Câu 52: The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US _______ between the 1950s and now.
A. has remained the same
B. has changed dramatically
C. has been reversed D. has changed slightly

Câu 53: The phrase "enlightened individuals" in the first sentence most likely means "people who _______."
A. always appear brilliant-looking in public
B. have often been well-exposed to light
C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go

Câu 54: In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author's point of view, any individual must _______.
A. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life

Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many
countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of
communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are
concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has
been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas.
They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones.
Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a
traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks.
He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every
day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor
didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very
small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say
the amount is too small to worry about.

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert
hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about four billion six hundred million years and
is thousands of times larger than the Earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About five
billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The
higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun
will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the
Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too high for life to exist.
Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it
shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of
gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat.
Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If
any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen over the Earth’s surface.

Câu 41: It can be inferred from the passage that the Sun ______.
A. is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf
B. will continue to be a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years
C. has been in existence for 10 billion years
D. is rapidly changing in size and brightness
Câu 42: What will probably be the first stage of change for the Sun to become a red giant?
A. Its surface will become hotter and shrink. B. It will throw off huge amounts of gases.
C. Its central part will grow smaller and hotter. D. Its core will cool off and use less fuel.
Câu 43: When the Sun becomes a red giant, what will the atmosphere be like on the Earth?
A. It will be enveloped in the expanding surface of the sun.
B. It will become too hot for life to exist.
C. It will be almost destroyed by nova explosions.
D. It will freeze and become solid.
