II.  Read the text carefully, then do the tasks.

      People visiting Spain for the first time can find it difficult to get used to the eating customs of the Spanish. It’s not so much the food itself, but the timing of the meals that visitors aren’t used to. I used to live in Cadiz myself for a few years and I actually quite like the way they do things. Breakfast is a light continental affair – justa roll and some coffee usually – eatenbetween 8 and 9.30 a.m. The main meal of the day is lunch, which people usually eat sometime between 1.30 p.m. and 3.30 p.m. Quite a few of the shops, museums and galleries close around this time, because the locals like to take time over lunch. They will rest for a short time afterwards, although the traditional afternoon siesta is not as common as it used to be. People eat late in the evening – rarelybefore 9 p.m. and at the weekend the locals often won’t eat before 11 p.m. or even midnight. This is a much lighter meal than lunch – oftenjust a few tapas taken with a drink.

A.  Decide whether the following sentences are true or false.

1.   Mealtimes in Spain can be confusing for visitors.

2.   In Spain, breakfast is the largest meal of the day.

3.   Spaniards like to have a long lunch.

5.   Most Spaniards still enjoy taking a siesta after lunch.

6.   Dinner is generally eaten between 9 p.m. and midnight.

B.  Choose the correct answers.

1.   What is the passage mainly about?

      a. Spanish culture                                           b. Spanish eating customs

      c.Spanish table manners                                 d. Spanish mealtimes

2.   What does the word “siesta” mean?

      a. a light meal             b. a short nap              c. an afternoon snack      d. a deep sleep

3.   Which is the most important meal of the day in Spain?

      a. breakfast                 b. lunch                       c. snack      d. dinner

4.   What is a continental breakfast?

      a. a full breakfast of cereal, bacon and eggs and toast

      b. a traditional breakfast consisting of rice, soup, fish

      c.a simple breakfast consisting of coffee and bread

      d.a healthy breakfast of fruits, veggies and milk

Another tradition is snow. Christmas in the northern part of the world comes a few days after the start of winter. So, in many places, a blanket of clean white snow covers the ground on Christmas Day. This is what is meant by a "White Christmas".

Of course, many places do not get snow in December. In fact, they may be very warm at that time of year. People who like snow - but live where it is warm - dream of having a white Christmas. American songwriter Irving Berlin captured these feelings in his song "White Christmas" . " White Christmas" is one of the most popular songs of all times. Hundreds of singers and musicians have recorded it. Perhaps the most famous version was sung by Bing Crosby. Songwriter Irving Berlin was Jewish. He did not celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday. But in his Christmas song, he shares a massage of peace and happiness which all people can joy.

So from all of us - to all of you - we wish the happiest and most joyful holiday.

A new university without a library has recently opened in the USA. All the information normally found in a library is now stored in the university's computers. Without leaving their computers, users can send messages and receive information through telephone lines. However, this means that each student must have access to a computer, and many universities are making this a requirement for freshmen. College campuses now have computer jacks in every part of the university. Study is no longer restricted to just one location.

Computer bulletin boards are used in the same way as traditional ones in schools and colleges. The difference is that over 20 million people may have access to them. If students want to discuss math at 3 am, it's not a problem. They post messages on the bulletin board and find other people who want to talk about the same topic.

Technology now means students can get a degree without being on campus. There are people who are skeptical about this new method of education, but their concerns have had little impact.

Một trường đại học mới mà không có thư viện gần đây đã được mở ở Mỹ. Tất cả các thông tin thường tìm thấy trong thư viện bây giờ được lưu trữ trong các máy tính của trường đại học. Không để máy tính của họ, người dùng có thể gửi tin nhắn và nhận thông tin qua đường dây điện thoại. Tuy nhiên, điều này có nghĩa là mỗi học sinh phải có quyền truy cập vào một máy tính, và nhiều trường đại học đang làm cho một yêu cầu này cho sinh viên năm nhất. Các trường đại học bây giờ có các lỗ cắm máy tính trong mọi phần của trường đại học. Nghiên cứu không còn giới hạn ở một địa điểm.

Bảng thông báo bằng máy tính được sử dụng giống như các bảng truyền thống trong các trường học và cao đẳng. Sự khác biệt là hơn 20 triệu người có thể truy cập vào họ. Nếu học sinh muốn thảo luận về toán vào lúc 3 giờ sáng, thì đó không phải là vấn đề. Họ đăng tin nhắn trên bảng tin và tìm những người khác muốn thảo luận về cùng một chủ đề.

Công nghệ bây giờ có nghĩa là sinh viên có thể có được một văn bằng mà không có trong khuôn viên trường. Có nhiều người hoài nghi về phương pháp giáo dục mới này, nhưng mối quan tâm của họ ít có tác động

Read the following passage about London's Heathrow Airport and write A, B, C or D for questions 1-10.

A. Passport Control

If you are not transferring to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not British or a citizen of a country in the European Community, you must fill out a special form called a landing card before your passport is examined. This card should be given to you during the flight. However, you can also obtain one inside the terminal building.

When you enter the terminal building from your aircraft, follow the ARRIVALS signs. Make sure that you are in the right channel when you reach PASSPORT CONTROL. There is one channel for holders of European Community passports and a second channel marked "Other Passports.

B. Getting your Luggage

If you have luggage which was carried in the aircraft hold, follow the BAGGAGE RECLAIM signs after your passport has been examined. If you have only hand luggage, pass through the baggage reclaim area and follow the CUSTOMS sign.

C. Customs

All passengers arriving from a country outside Britain and Northern Ireland are allowed to bring with them a certain quality of duty free items. You can get information about how much you can bring by reading the signs marked Duty Free Allowances in the baggage reclaim area.

There are three Customs Channels: the Red Channel, the Green Channel and the Blue Channel. If you have something to declare, or if you are not sure about your Duty Free Allowance, you must go through the Red Channel. Passengers arriving from outside the European Community with nothing to declare must go through the Green Channel. Passengers arriving from the countries in the European Community with nothing to declare must go through the Blue Channel.

Please note that Customs Officers may stop you at any time and examine your luggage as you go through the Green or Blue Channel.

D. Transit Passengers

If you are immediately transferring to another flight at Heathrow that is not bound for a destination in Britain or Northern Ireland, you are a transit passenger and do not have to go through the procedures above.

All transit passengers should follow the black and yellow TRANSFERS signs Airport staff at the Transfer Desk and at other places in the terminal will direct you to your departure gate.

BLACK WIDOW SPIDER

The black widow spider’s notoriety is not without foundation. However, an element of exaggeration has led to certain misconception (1. CONCEPT) regarding its evil nature.

Firstly, this spider is not as dangerous as is often thought. While it is indeed one of the most venomous (2. VENOM) species of spider, its venom being fifteen times stronger than that of the prairie rattlesnake, its bite injects such as amount of venom by comparison (3. COMPARE) that it is unlikely to kill humans. In fact, fatalities (4. FATAL) are rare.

Black widows bite only if they are touched or their web is threatened. Furthermore, only the adult female is poisonous. Those most at risk from the female are the spider’s natural pray-insects-and male black widow spiders. The latter are vulnerable as the female is solitary (5. SOLITUDE) by nature, and has been known to kill and eat the male after mating. Such occurences (6. OCCUR) are rare, but they explain how the spider got its name – and its reputation.

Nevertheless, the unpleasant (7. PLEASE) effects of this spider’s bite should not be underestimated (8. ESTIMATE), and if you live in a temperate climate and have a fireplace in your home, it is advisable to take precautions (9. CAUTION). Black widow spiders often inhabit wood piles, so you should wear gloves when handling firewood. Furthermore, since black widow spiders are resistant (10. RESIST) to many insecticides, you should regularly clean out likely hiding places.
