V. READING- COMPREHENSION: Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer for each question
THE PEARL by John Steinbeck is the retelling of a story about a fisherman who finds a huge pearl, realizes that the discovery is destroying his life and returns the pearl to the sea. It is told in a style so authentic that readers feel they are hearing the story from one of the villagers who know all the characters. In spite of its simplicity; however, there are several levels to enjoy in THE PEARL.
Some critics have pointed out that the author showed his great respect for the natural environment, and that this book was really his statement about the dangers of creating serious damage to it. When the fisherman throws the pearl back into the sea, he is doing something useful in his effort to prevent the habitat destruction. In fact, Steinbeck was a member of an expedition to explore marine life along the coast of California when he heard the story of the “pearl of the world”. Other critics have suggested that this work is the struggle between the good and the bad. Although the fisherman has dreamed of buying peace and happiness with the pearl, he realizes that these spiritual gifts are beyond price. They can not be bought.
It is true that Steinbeck’s work has won popularity among the readers. Perhaps everyone takes his own meaning from this story and reads his own life into it.

a. a fisherman b. a villager c. John Steinbeck d. a member of an expedition
26. The word “It” in line 2 refers to . . . . . . . . . .

PRACTICE TEST 7
Read the passage and choose the best answer A,B,C or D.
It is not easy to choose a career today. Hundreds of students are leaving schools and universities every year to seek employment in the various professions, though employment opportunities are not increasing proportionately. As a result, there is a lot of unemployment.
The inability of the various professions to absorb all those seeking employment makes the choice of a career more difficult. Before one leaves school or university, one has many plans, confident that choosing a career will not be difficult. But when, the time comes to choose a career, one finds that there are others with better qualifications waiting to enter the same profession. Disillusioned, one then looks for any kind of employment. In this way, many who wanted to become police inspectors or field assistants in the rubber estates in this country, become teachers instead, and many who wanted to become teachers, have become clerks.
The lack of institutions where people could acquire the skills necessary for a particular career makes the choice of a career even more difficult. For example, if one desires to become a journalist, one has to receive some training and instruction in a school of journalism. But if there is no such school, one is compelled to think of some other career.

My favorite sport is swimming. I learned to swim when I was five and I have been to the swimming pool at least twice a week ever since. You do not need much special equipment if you want to learn to swim-only a pair of swimming trunks if you are a boy, or a swimming costume and a cap if you are a girl. When you start you may like to use a ring or some water-wings.
How can you learn to swim? It is best to learn when you are still quite young and some parents even taught their six-month-old babies to swim. It is just a good idea just to play round in the pool for a while until you get used to being in the water. Try to find a good teacher. You must learn to keep your balance in the water and then your teacher will show how to move your arms and legs so that you move along smoothly and easily. As soon as you feel confident in the pool you will quickly start making good progress. Most people learn the breaststroke first and then go on to backstroke and crawl. After that, you can learn to dive. Diving is probably what I like doing most when I go to the pool. I am particularly interested in swimming faster than anyone else but I love trying to dive as gracefully as possible. Swimming is not an expensive sport and it is very good for all the muscles in your body. I would recommend anyone at any age to take up swimming as a hobby.
25. The writer says that..............
A. he has been to the swimming pool only twice since he was five.
B. he went to the swimming pool twice when he was five.
C. he went to the swimming pool twice a week when he was five.
D. he has been to the swimming pool twice a week since he was five.

A. one must use a water-wing for swimming practice.
B. it costs a lot to learn to swim.

D. special equipment doesn't matter a lot when one learns to swim.
27. The writer advises us to
A. learn to swim under a trainer's guidance.
B· start learning to swim since the age of six.
C. learn to dive before practicing swimming.
D. to keep our arms and legs from moving along in the water

Gifts for mother
Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. They discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.
The first son said: “ I built a big house for our mother”
The second son said: “ I sent Mom a Mercedes with a driver.”
The third son said: “ You remember how our mother enjoys reading the Bible. Now she can’t see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. The Elders at the church spent twelve years to teach him. Mama just has to name the chapter and the verse and the parrot recites it.”
Soon thereafter, their mother sent out her letters of thanks.
“William,” she wrote, “ the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house.”
“Arnold, she said, “ I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes. That driver is so rude, he is a pain!”
“ But David,” she said, “ the chicken was delicious”
Các món quà tặng mẹ
Ba người con trai rời gia đình ra đời lập nghiệp và đều thành đạt. Họ bàn với nhau về những món quà mà họ có thể dành tặng cho người mẹ già của mình.
Người con trưởng nói: “ Anh sẽ xây cho mẹ chúng ta một ngôi nhà lớn.”
Người con thứ hai nói: “ Còn em sẽ gửi cho mẹ một chiếc Mercedes và một tài xế.”
Người con thứ ba nói: “ Các anh có còn nhớ là mẹ chúng ta thích đọc Kinh thánh như thế nào không. Mà bây giờ mắt mẹ không được tốt lắm. Bởi vậy em sẽ gửi cho mẹ một con vẹt đặc biệt, nó có thể đọc thuộc lòng toàn bộ Thánh kinh. Những người cao tuổi ở nhà thờ đó đã mất mười hai năm để dạy nó. Mẹ chỉ cần nêu tên chương mục là con vẹt sẽ đọc cho mẹ nghe.”
Sau đó không lâu, người mẹ gửi cho họ những bức thư cảm ơn như sau:
“ William,” bà viết, “tòa nhà con xây quá rộng. Mẹ chỉ ở mỗi một phòng, nhưng phải lau dọn cả ngôi nhà.”
“ Arnold, mẹ quá già để đi du lịch. Mẹ gần như ở nhà suốt ngày nên rất hiếm khi mẹ dùng chiếc Mercedes. Gã tài xế đó rất thô lỗ, hắn là một nỗi khổ tâm của mẹ!”
“Nhưng David, con gà đó thì rất ngon.”
