For centuries, time was measured by the position of the sun with the use of sundials. Noon was recognized when the sun was the highest in the sky, and cities would set their clock by this apparent solar time, even though some cities would often be on a slightly different time. Daylight Saving Time (DST), sometimes called summer time, was instituted to make better use of daylight. Thus, clocks are set forward one hour in the spring to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening and then set back one hour in the fall to return to normal daylight.

Benjamin Franklin first conceived the idea of daylight saving during his tenure as an American delegate in Paris in 1984 and wrote about it extensively in his essay, "An Economical Project." It is said that Franklin awoke early one morning and was surprised to see the sunlight at such an hour. Always the economist, Franklin believed the practice of moving the time could save on the use of candlelight, as candles were expensive at the time.

In England, builder William Willett (1857–1915) became a strong supporter for Daylight Saving Time upon noticing blinds of many houses were closed on an early sunny morning. Willet believed everyone, including himself, would appreciate longer hours of light in the evenings. In 1909, Sir Robert Pearce introduced a bill in the House of Commons to make it obligatory to adjust the clocks. A bill was drafted and introduced into Parliament several times but met with great opposition, mostly from farmers. Eventually, in 1925, it was decided that summer time should begin on the day following the third Saturday in April and close after the first Saturday in October.

The U.S. Congress passed the Standard Time Act of 1918 to establish standard time and preserve and set Daylight Saving Time across the continent. This act also devised five time zones throughout the United States: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, and Alaska. The first time zone was set on "the mean astronomical time of the seventy-fifth degree of longitude west from Greenwich" (England). In 1919, this act was repealed.

President Roosevelt established year-round Daylight Saving Time (also called War Time) from 1942–1945. However, after this period, each state adopted its own DST, which proved to be disconcerting to television and radio broadcasting and transportation. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson created the Department of Transportation and signed the Uniform Time Act. As a result, the Department of Transportation was given the responsibility for the time laws. During the oil embargo and energy crisis of the 1970s, President Richard Nixon extended DST through the Daylight Saving Time Energy Act of 1973 to conserve energy further. This law was modified in 1986, and Daylight Saving Time was reset to begin on the first Sunday in April (to spring ahead) and end on the last Sunday in October (to fall back).

The Daylight Saving Time Energy Act of 1973 was responsible for

A. extending Daylight Saving Time in the interest of energy conservation

B. preserving and setting Daylight Saving Time across the continent

C. instituting five time zones in the United States

D. conserving energy by giving the Department of Transportation authority over time laws

Câu nào sau đây sẽ là tiêu đề tốt nhất cho đoạn văn này?

A. Lyndon Johnson và Đạo Luật về thống nhất thời gian

B. Lịch sử và lý do của Giờ tiết kiệm ánh sáng

C. Bộ Giao thông vận tải Hoa Kỳ và Giờ tiết kiệm ánh sáng

D. Giờ tiết kiệm ánh sáng tại Hoa Kỳ

Dịch bài đọc:

Trong nhiều thế kỷ, thời gian được đo bằng vị trí của mặt trời với việc sử dụng đồng hồ mặt trời. Buổi trưa được nhận biết khi mặt trời ở cao nhất trên bầu trời, và các thành phố sẽ đặt đồng hồ vào thời điểm mặt trời rõ ràng này, mặc dù một số thành phố thường có thời gian khác nhau một chút. Giờ Tiết kiệm Ánh sáng (DST), đôi khi được gọi là thời gian mùa hè, được thiết lập để sử dụng tốt hơn ánh sáng ban ngày. Do đó, đồng hồ được thiết lập chạy nhanh một giờ vào mùa xuân để di chuyển một giờ ánh sáng ban ngày từ buổi sáng đến buổi tối và sau đó đặt quay lại một giờ vào mùa thu để trở về ánh sáng ban ngày bình thường.

Benjamin Franklin lần đầu tiên hình thành ý tưởng tiết kiệm ánh sáng ban ngày trong nhiệm kỳ của mình như một đại biểu người Mỹ ở Paris vào năm 1984 và đã viết về nó rất nhiều trong bài viết của mình, "Một dự án kinh tế". Người ta nói rằng Franklin dậy sớm vào một buổi sáng và ngạc nhiên khi thấy ánh sáng mặt trời tại một giờ như vậy. Luôn luôn là nhà kinh tế học, Franklin tin rằng việc thực hiện việc di chuyển thời gian có thể tiết kiệm được việc sử dụng nến, vì nến rất đắt vào thời đó.

Tại Anh, người thợ xây dựng William Willett (1857-1915) đã trở thành người ủng hộ mạnh mẽ Giờ Tiết kiệm Ánh sáng khi nhận thấy mành cuốn của nhiều ngôi nhà đóng kín vào một buổi sáng nắng sớm. Willet tin rằng tất cả mọi người, kể cả chính mình, sẽ đánh giá cao những giờ ánh sáng vào buổi tối. Năm 1909, Sir Robert Pearce đã giới thiệu một dự luật trong Hạ viện để bắt buộc phải điều chỉnh đồng hồ. Một dự luật đã được soạn thảo và đưa vào Nghị viện nhiều lần nhưng đã gặp phải sự phản đối lớn, chủ yếu từ nông dân. Cuối cùng, vào năm 1925, người ta quyết định rằng thời gian mùa hè nên bắt đầu vào ngày sau ngày thứ 7 thứ ba của tháng 4 và kết thúc sau ngày thứ 7 đầu tiên của tháng 10.

Quốc hội Hoa Kỳ đã thông qua Đạo luật Thời gian Chuẩn năm 1918 để thiết lập thời gian chuẩn và bảo toàn và đặt Giờ Tiết kiệm Ánh sáng trên khắp lục địa. Hành động này cũng đã lập ra năm múi giờ trên khắp Hoa Kỳ: Đông, Trung Bộ, miền núi, Thái Bình Dương và Alaska. Múi thời gian đầu tiên được đặt vào "thời gian thiên văn trung bình ở độ cao 70 độ kinh Tây từ Greenwich" (Anh). Năm 1919, hành động này đã bị bãi bỏ.

Tổng thống Roosevelt đã thiết lập Giờ Tiết kiệm Ánh sáng quanh năm (còn gọi là War Time) từ năm 1942- 1945. Tuy nhiên, sau thời kỳ này, mỗi tiểu bang đã thông qua DST của riêng mình, điều này gây lúng túng đối với phát thanh truyền hình và phát thanh. Năm 1966, Tổng thống Lyndon Johnson đã thành lập Bộ Giao thông vận tải và ký kết Đạo luật Thống nhất Thời gian. Do đó, Sở Giao thông vận tải đã được giao trách nhiệm về luật thời gian. Trong thời kỳ cấm vận dầu mỏ và khủng hoảng năng lượng những năm 1970, Tổng thống Richard Nixon đã mở rộng DST thông qua Đạo luật về Tiết kiệm ánh sáng ban ngày năm 1973 để tiết kiệm năng lượng hơn nữa. Luật này được sửa đổi vào năm 1986, và Giờ Tiết kiệm Ánh sáng được đặt lại bắt đầu vào Chủ Nhật đầu tiên vào tháng Tư (đến mùa xuân sắp tới) và kết thúc vào Chủ Nhật cuối cùng vào tháng Mười (mùa thu trước đó).

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 46 to 55.

Increasing numbers of parents in the u.s. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact, the u.s. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being homeschoolded. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year.

At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school.

Although there have been a lot of areuments for and against it, homeschooling in the u.s. has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing.

According to some experts, the exact number of homeschooled children in the US in the last year of the 20th century must be__________

A. 1,600,000

B. 850,000

C. 1,900,000

D. 1,700,000

Đáp án là D. Dựa vào ý: “in 1999, about 850,000 children were being homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate” ( vào năm 1999 , khoảng 850 nghìn trẻ em được học tại gia. Một số chuyên gia giáo dục cho rằng con số thực tế là gấp đôi ước tính này) => 850.000x2 = 1.700.000.
