II. Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was
played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan
to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s King, he says
in English, “Check”; when the King has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “Check mate”. These
words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means” the king is dead”, that is when the game is over and one player
has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The ruler have not always been the same as they are now. For example,
at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It
would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all
kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people
sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some
of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400
games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.
1. Which of the following is known to be true?
a. Chess is an old Indian travelling game
b. Chess is the oldest game in the world
c. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400
d. Chess was played in India long before 900
2. One player has won the game when the other player’s King can not move anywhere.
a. he attacks the other player’s King
b. he says some Persian words
c. the other player’s King can not move anywhere
d. he says “check” to the r other player
3. According to the old rules of the game the queen could move no more than one square at a time.

b. the King had to attacked all the time
c. the queen could move no more than one square at a time

IV. Fill in each gap in the passage below with one suitable word.
For over a hundred years, the (1) people of London have gone to bed and (2) got up in the morning to the deep
sounds of the world (3) famous bell called Big Ben. The (4) bell appeared in Westminster Tower a year before
the clock, in 1858. It (5) weighs 13.5 tons, and it is the (6) largest bell in all England.
As we have (7) mentioned the clock that the bell serves appeared one year later, in 1859. Each of the clock’s
four (8) faces is almost 6.5 metres (9) in deameter. The munute hand is over 4 metres (10) long and weighs
over 100 kilograms.
(11) Although the clock is so big, it is very exact, it is seldom more than one second (12) wrong in 1924 hours.
English scientists use an original method to correct (13) mistake in the clock. There is a small tray in the middle
of the pendulum.If the clock is running slow, they put a penny coin in the tray, and the clock begins to run (14)
faster If the clock begins to run fast, they take (15) away the penny. The little coin is enough to make the giant
clock run a second faster or slower every day.

First of all, smoking brings about the decline of our memory because each cigarette we smoke destroys 15,000
cerebral cells.
Smoking is considered the number one cause of cardio-vascular trouble, pneumonia, lung cancer etc … The
main offending agents are carbon monoxide and nicotine in the smoke. These cancer – causing agents are also
the ones which cause pharyngeal cancer. The toxic effects of smoke make the smoker’s voice hoarse.
Additionally, the visible effect is that the tobacco or opium tar sticks to the teeth, and causes them to become
dark or dirty-yellow, diminishing our good looks and charm.
In conclusion, I would like to quote our well-known scholar “Le Quy Don” as saying some hundred years ago
that smoking was like taking a toxic drug, the smoke of which wasted our health and diminished our life-span;
yet, few people heeded his sage advice.

I get a lot of letter at this time of year from people complaining that they have a cold which won't go
away. thre are so many different stories about to how to prevent or cure a cold. It's often diffecult to
know what to do. Although cold is rarely dangerous, except for people who are always uncomfortabel
and usually most unpleasant, Of course you can buy lost of meducines which will help to make your
cold less unpleasant, but you must remember than nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away
faster. Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be
dangerous. If you are already taking drugs whether they are all right for you. And remember they
might make you sleepu - please don't try to drive if they do!Lastly, as far as avoiding cold is
concerned, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong
and healthy - you''ll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it shouldn't be so bad.

TEST 3
Which season of the year do you like best? Why?

I was born in Northern Vietnam, where there are four clear seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and
Winter. Each season has its own charms and attractions. For example, Spring is the season which
offers beautiful flowers and warm weather; Summmer is the season of nice holidays when we can
enjoy lots of outdoor acitivities suh as picnickig, camping, swimming, fishing etc…. Autumn is so
beautiful with its ideal weather while Winter can give us such delight as gathering by a fire to chat of
tell each other funny stories. As far as I am concerned, I like Autumn best because of the following
reasons:
During Autumn, which lasts more or less from late July to early October, it is sunny most of the
time. The Autumnal sun is often splendid, dying nature yellow. The weather is also ideal because it is
not too cold nor too hot. Then the coldish northwesterly wind, which blows gently, thrills everyone
with the breath of Autumn. The leaves of the trees turning yellow or red put a goreous coat of colours
on nature. Autumn is such a wonderfuk season that many poems and songs have been
