When we read about the natural world nowadays, it is generally to be (41- given) dire (thảm khốc) predictions about its imminent (sắp xảy ra) destruction. Some scientists go so (42- far) as to assert that from now on, the world can no longer be called ‘natural’, insofar (tới mức) as future processes of weather, (43- climate), and all the interactions of plant and animal life will no longer carry on in their time-honored way, unaffected by (44- man). There will never be such a thing as ‘natural weather’ again, say such writers, only weather (45- manufactured) by global warming. It is hard to know whether to believe such (46- prophets- nhà tiên tri) of doom (số phận), possibly because what they are saying seems too terrible to be (47- true). There are other equally influential scientists who argue that climate, for example, has changed many times over the (48- centuries), and that what we are experiencing now may simply be part of an endless cycle of change, rather than a disaster on a global (49- scale). One cannot help wondering whether these attempts to wish the problem away (50- simply) underline the extent to which western industrialized countries are to blame for upsetting the world’s (51- ecology). It is not our fault, they seem to be saying, because everything is all right, really! One certain (52- fact) which is chilling (làm nhụt chí) in its implications, is that there is no longer anywhere on the earth’s (53- surface), whether in the depths of the oceans or in the polar (địa cực) wastes, which is not (54- stained) by polluted air or littered with empty cans and bottles. Now we are having to come to terms with understanding just what that means, and it is far from easy.
41. A. made 	B. given 	C. told 	D. granted
42. A. much 	B. often 	C. really 	D. far
43. A. change 	B. atmosphere 	C. climate 	D. even
44. A. beings 	B. man 	C. people 	D. humans
45. A. built 	B. manufactured 	C. affected 	D. organized
46. A. prophets 	B. champions 	C. warriors (quân nhân) 	D. giants
47. A. stopped 	B. true 	C. guessed 	D. here
48. A. top 	B. again 	C. centuries 	D. world
49. A. sense 	B. form 	C. scale 	D. existence
50. A. simply	B. to 	C. that 	D. or

In the past, a city’s major shopping district was in its downtown area (khu kd, buôn bán). People could get downtown easier than they could get to other parts of the city. Before the 1920s, the best way to travel in a city was on a street-car, a subway (xe diện ngầm), a railroad, or an elevated train (đường sắt treo). All these ran on tracks that led downtown. As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed other places to shop.
More people were driving cars, and they needed a place they could drive quickly. Driving downtown was difficult. Finding a parking space downtown was sometimes impossible. People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily. To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs, groups of business moved farther out, too. Today, most suburbs have large shopping centers. Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shoppers can do all their shopping in one place. The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant. The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can stroll from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues, and plants. There are benches so that shoppers may rest. Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside.

56. Today, many suburbs have____.

A. why some businesses have moved to the suburbs.	B. going downtown on a streetcar or elevated trains.
C. people who live in the middle of large cities.	D. the history of shopping malls.
58. Why did people want suburban shopping centers?
A. They don’t like driving cars.	B. They wanted stores that had statues and plants.

Dear Sir or Madam, 
I am writing in reply to your advertisement in the Vietnam News for experienced English-speaking local guides to accompany foreign visitors on trips throughout Vietnam. To tell the truth, I am very much interested in the post and hope to get it.
After reading the requirement for applicants, I can say by sure that I meet all of the qualifications that you specify. I was awarded High School Certificate two years ago with flying colours. After leaving high school, I worked as an accountant in a small travel agency for one year, where I was given a training course on tourism. Then I had one year of experience as a tour guide so I know many tourist areas in Vietnam arid have a basic knowledge of Vietnamese culture, history, geography and the people. Moreover, I was a good student at English at school and achieved some prizes for English-speaking and English-in-use contests, so I can say that I speak English fluently and be able to communicate effectively with English speaking partners. In addition, I am a sociable and confident person and can work hard for long hours. I would like to work for you and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this position with you in person. 
I am looking forward to hearing from you at your convenience.
Yours faithfully, 
Nguyen Quoc Anh
