level of success in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who more often excel in individual
sports.
The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits a
strong sense of security. Last-borns collectively achieve the highest degree of social success and
demonstrate the highest levels of self-esteem of all the birth-order positions. They often exhibit less
competitiveness than older brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitive group
games or in social organizations such as sororities and fraternities.
Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of the
characteristics of last-borns. Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and self-esteem
exhibited by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely than
middle-or last-borns to achieve academic success. However, only children tend to have the most problems
establishing close relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children.

involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A
good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made
up of many small particles that are in constant motion.
A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not as
yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If
observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the
predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may
have to be revised or rejected.
Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and
performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare
said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called
science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a
particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the
investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated.
These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It
extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs
calculations, and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation
lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.

Question 36: Which of the following is the main subject of the passage?
A. The importance of models in scientific theories.
B. The sorts of facts that scientists find most interesting.
C. The ways that scientists perform different types of experiments.
D. The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation.
Question 37: The word "related" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A. Described B. Identified C. connected D. completed
Question 38: The word "this" in paragraph 1 refers to________.
A. the kinetic molecular theory B. a good example
C. an observed event D. an imaginary model

D. It is better to revise a hypothesis than to reject it.

Part 2:
Tet is a traditional holiday of our country Vietnam. The season of Tet occurs around the beginning of
January and end of February. The meaning of Tet is ending old year and welcoming a new year. Tet holiday
is very special for Vietnamese families to reunite. At that time, all the family members try to come back their
homes and get together to prepare for Tet. Moreover, they will buy new clothes and clean their house. A
branch of Mai flower or a Kumquat tree can't be absent. They bring a fresh atmosphere to the house. We
decorate the ancestral altar with a tray full of fruits and flowers. Some typical foods are sweets, coconut jam,
candied fruits, lemon seeds, rice cake, stew pork with eggs. A traditional and special food on Tet holiday is
sticky rice cake. Tet meal is more delicious than ours every day. On Tet holiday, people have many typical
activities. Young persons take part in the traditional games such as: tug, cooking rice, cock fighting,
watching lion dance. Many people visit relatives to wish a happy new year. Adults will give lucky money for
children. Women like going to the pagoda to wish good things will come to their families. In my opinion, I
like cozy and fresh Tet's atmosphere. All family's members talk together about a happy new year. I can hang
out with my friend and don't worry about any thing. " Tet" holiday is always in Vietnamese's heart.
