Although the United States is a large country with many people, the language is almost the same wherever one goes. There are two reasons for this. One is that people move around a great deal in the United States. A man may grow up in one part of the country, go to college in another part, find work in another place, and marry a girl from still another part of the country. Railroads, airplanes, cars and highways make it easy to travel in America. Many large companies have branches in different areas of the country and transfer their workers from one branch to another. The second important factor is public communication. Movies, radio, and television all have a standard way of speech, and almost everyone in the United States hears it. There are, however, some words and expressions more common
in one part of the country than in others. Throughout the history of the United States, large groups of
immigrants have come to make their homes and they give new words to the language.
Câu 1: In the United States ______
A. each state has its own language
B. the language is different from place to place
C. one cannot go wherever he wants

D. people travel a great deal
Câu 2: According to the writer ______
A. in America people have to study only in their native town
B. means of transport are well-developed
C. there are no trains and planes
D. one cannot marry a girl from another state
Câu 3: Many large companies ______
A. do not have branches in other parts
B. have branches in different areas
C. do not employ workers from different areas D. do not have their workers work in the branches
Câu 4: In the United States, public communication ______
A. is not well-developed
B. has no standard way of speech
C. has a standard way of speech
D. is not important
Câu 5: Which sentence is true?
A. In the United States there are a lot of immigrants.
B. In the United States there are no immigrants.
C. In the United States all words and expression are the same in every part.
D. The American language has no new words.

Mặc dù Hoa Kỳ là một quốc gia rộng lớn với nhiều người, nhưng ngôn ngữ hầu như giống nhau ở bất kỳ nơi đâu. Có hai lý do cho việc này. Một là mọi người di chuyển rất nhiều ở Hoa Kỳ. Một người đàn ông có thể lớn lên ở một vùng của đất nước, đi học đại học ở một nơi khác, tìm việc làm ở một nơi khác và kết hôn với một cô gái vẫn ở một vùng khác của đất nước. Đường sắt, máy bay, ô tô và đường cao tốc giúp việc đi lại ở Mỹ trở nên dễ dàng. Nhiều công ty lớn có chi nhánh ở các khu vực khác nhau của đất nước và chuyển công nhân của họ từ chi nhánh này sang chi nhánh khác. Yếu tố quan trọng thứ hai là phương tiện giao tiếp. Phim ảnh, đài phát thanh và truyền hình đều có cách nói chuẩn và hầu như tất cả mọi người ở Hoa Kỳ đều nghe được. Tuy nhiên, có một số từ và cách diễn đạt phổ biến hơn ở một phần của đất nước hơn ở những nơi khác. Trong suốt lịch sử của Hoa Kỳ, các nhóm lớn những người nhập cư đã đến để định cư và họ đưa đến những từ ngữ mới cho ngôn ngữ này.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.

Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect.

Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North Americans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them.

Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move any other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some

places it communicates ridicule.

The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully.

As stated in the passage, in order to communicate successfully with people from another culture, it is advisable for a person ______.

A. to learn only non-verbal signals of that culture

B. to travel to as many countries as possible

C. to use the body language of the people from that culture

D. to learn both the language and non-verbal signals of that culture

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

A mansion is a very large home. McDonald's is the name of a fast food hamburger chain. What do you get when you put the two together? You get McMansion, the recently created name for a type of large suburban, two storied home that originated in the United States. Many people love McMansions for their low price, abundant space and impressive styling, but the news is not all gooD. In fact, McMansions may now be a threatened species.

McMansion became very popular in the United States during the 1990s, and this popularity continued for almost 20 years. During those years the economy was relatively strong, and banks were willing to lend large sums of money to people who wanted to buy a home. The result was an increase in the average home size. In 1988, the average new American home was 170 square meters, but by 2008 this had risen to 244 square meters, a 44% increase.

To offset the greater costs of these large homes, land developers built many homes that all used a similar basic design and identical construction methods. Framing and interior fittings were constructed in

factories, instead of on site, and the materials used were often of a lower quality. Finally, the sections of land used for each house were much smaller than before.

The result was suburban developments full of huge homes, often over 280 square meters in floor area, that all looked similar to each other. Their standardization and lowest possible-cost construction reminded people of McDonald's hamburgers, hence the term McMansion. For many people a McMansion was their dream home, but that dream is now rapidly turning sour.

There are two main problems with McMansions. One problem is that their huge size means that they cost a lot to heat or cool. Energy is becoming more expensive, so owners are faced with huge bills if they try to heat or cool their home. The other problem is that McMansion owners are often in a lot of debt. They borrowed a lot of money to pay for their impressive home, but during the 2000s, with struggling economy and high unemployment, they couldn't afford to repay their loan.

McMansion are still popular in some area, but no one is sure how long it will last. Will energy become even more expensive and force owners to downsize? Will the economy grow and banks become more willing to end again? Will the drop-in house prices allow larger, less affluent families to afford a McMansion? These questions are weighing heavily on the future of one of the most popular housing styles of the late 20th century.

(Source: Reading planet)

According to the passage, which of the following is a major problem with McMansions?

A. Their impressive designs make them dream homes for many people.

B. The large size of McMansions asks their owners for huge energy bilis.

C. The identical look of the McMansions everywhere makes them no longer popular.

D. The identical look of the McMansions reminds people of McDonald's hamburgers.
