 	When I first arrived here to take up my new job, I stayed in a hotel, but I soon started looking for some permanent (46 accommodation).

 	The elephant is another animal that lives in groups. An elephant herd (bầy) usually has from twenty to forty members. The elephants in the herd depend on one another for help in time of trouble. The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female. She travels at the head of the herd and is followed by the other females and their young. The bull elephants follow last. When danger threatens, the bulls form a circle around the weaker animals and guard them.
The members of the herd are loyal to one another. A sick or wounded elephant is not left behind to die. If an elephant is sick, the whole herd stops traveling until it gets well. When an elephant is injured, two others walk on both sides of it and support it with their bodies. Elephants are fond of the youngsters in the group and give them special care. They help young animals stay afloat when the herd crosses a river. They work together to rescue a calf that has wandered into a dangerous place. A female elephant that is about to give birth to her young leaves the herd for a short time. However, she takes another female along to act as “aunt.” The aunt stands guard and helps the mother with her new-born calf. In this way, the whole herd protects its newest member.

 In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to anything else on the seas that it was dubbed “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they provided only twenty lifeboats and rafts (bè gỗ), less than one half the number needed for the 2,227 passengers on board.
Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking iceberg. An unextinguished fire also contributed to the ship's submersion. Panic increased the number of casualties as people jumped into the icy water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the 705 survivors. The infamous Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.
60. Which of the following did NOT contribute to the large death toll?
A. panic	B. fire	C. speed	D. the Carpathia
61. How many days was the S.S. Titanic at sea before sinking?
A. 2	B. 4	C. 6	D. 12
62. The word “dubbed” in the passage is closest in meaning to_____.
A. initiated	B. called	C. christened	D. listed
63. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. only a third of those aboard died	B. the Carpathia rescued the survivors
C. the S.S. Titanic sank near Newfoundland	D. the S.S. Titanic was the fastest ship afloat in 1912
64. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The S.S. Titanic proved itself the most seaworthy vessel in 1912.
B. Attempts to rescue the S.S. Titanic’s survivors were not successful.
C. Overconfidence by builders and owners was greatly responsible for the sinking of the vessel.
D. A fire and panic were the only causes for the sinking of the ship

TOPIC: Write a letter to a pen-pal to talk about a person who has great influence on you.
., March 26th, 2015
	Dear Linda,
	I am sorry for not writing to you for so long, but you know we are all busy with preparing for the coming GCSE. I am writing today to tell you about my greatest ever idol who has great influence on me.
	Everyone has his variety of acquaintances, friends, relatives, teachers, or partners among whom one may have the one that creates greatest ever impression on him. For me, I must say that my life would not have been as good as it is today if I did not meet Mr. Jimmy. It happened to me when I was a lower secondary student. I remember well that I was a very bad boy at that time. I always got bad marks for school subjects as well as I got fined daily. My teachers got very disappointed, my parents felt ashamed as I was very often mentioned as a bad example at school. My classmates found ways to keep away from me. I felt so lonely and hopeless. Then Mr. Jimmy, my new Maths teacher appeared. After having had a talk with me and my parents, he agreed to be my private tutor. It was so strange that he did not teach me lessons right away, he made ways to be my friend instead. He spared time to get to know my difficulties, helped me to gain me confidence, let me believe in what I could do. Gradually, I realized what to do, how to do. He encouraged me when I felt tired, lonely or daunted. He gave me belief and strength to stand right on my own feet. Finally, I got to know the meaning of life.
	To tell the truth, I feel so happy to have a great teacher like Mr. Jimmy. I really hope that you will spare time to let me know about your idols in life. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
	Love,
	Tom.
