In sharp contrast to the plan of the ancient Greeks, events for women have become a great interest in the modern games. And the winners receive honors equal to those given to the men who win. 21.

SECTION II. Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes the unfinished statement or answers the question about the passage.
The play now on at the New Theatre as part of the Easter Arts Festival is not among the best plays for which the director, Amy Fielding, has been responsible. The action takes place in the home of Professor Spear. One night his landlady comes to the house for a chat. After inviting her in, the professor hears a sound and, thinking it is a burglar who comes to rob the house, fires his gun. By mistake, the wrong person is shot and the thief gets away. The scene of the second act is a law court, in which everyone waits to find out if the professor is guilty of murder. I did not care for the acting in some cases. Norman ]ones is normally seen in comedies and is not satisfactory as the professor. He does not look like a wise old man. Also, Simon Fry, as the servant, shouted at the top of his voice all through the play. The hit of the evening, however, was James Smith as the judge. On the whole, the play appeared to me to be a little out of date. I can think of many other plays which would have been more suitable for a group of clever young actors to perform. The play continues until the end of the month. 21. This passage is from __________. A. a review of a play C. a letter 22. What is the writer trying to do? A. Give advice to the writer of the play C. Give his own opinion of the play B. Warn people not to go and see the play D. Persuade the director to change the play B. an introduction to a performance D. an advertisement for a play

English is very interesting. It is not difficult to learn English well. However, it is important to find the most effective way to learn the language. I rarely look up new words in the dictionary, but I often try to guess their meanings in the reading. At first, I found it a little difficult because I could hardly understand everything that I read. But gradually I could get the general idea of the reading or the main information the reading passage gave. I never use an English-Vietnamese dictionary, instead I use an English-English dictionary, and this helps me a lot. In this way, I can use the new vocabulary correctly and naturally. I also keep my diary, and write short stories in English to improve my writing skill. As for listening, I listen to music and news programs broadcast in English on TV and on the radio. It is an interesting way to practice listening. Modern equipment can help a lot in listening. For example, I use an iPod to record the news so that I can listen to it again and then I record my voice and correct myself. Ive joined an English-speaking club to better my speaking. I can make myself well understood when I speak to native speakers. I think in the future everybody in Vietnam can communicate with each other well in English. 21. What is the text mainly about? A.

English is very interesting. It is not difficult to learn English well. However, it is important to find the most effective way to learn the language. I rarely look up new words in the dictionary, but I often try to guess their meanings in the reading. At first, I found it a little difficult because I could hardly understand everything that I read. But gradually I could get the general idea of the reading or the main information the reading passage gave. I never use an English-Vietnamese dictionary, instead I use an English-English dictionary, and this helps me a lot. In this way, I can use the new vocabulary correctly and naturally. I also keep my diary, and write short stories in English to improve my writing skill. As for listening, I listen to music and news programs broadcast in English on TV and on the radio. It is an interesting way to practice listening. Modern equipment can help a lot in listening. For example, I use an iPod to record the news so that I can listen to it again and then I record my voice and correct myself. Ive joined an English-speaking club to better my speaking. I can make myself well understood when I speak to native speakers. I think in the future everybody in Vietnam can communicate with each other well in English. 21. What is the text mainly about? A. English plays an important role in life. C. Everyone has a way to learn English. 22. What is the writer trying to do in the text? A. To teach B. To inform 23. The writer improves his writing by ________. A. reading as much as possible C. writing novels B. Learning English is fun. D. Speaking is more important than reading. C. To complain D. To criticize
B. writing for a newspaper D. writing about his daily activities
