Born in Oxford, Massachusetts in 1821, Clara Barton's interest in helping soldiers on the battlefield began when she was told army stories from her father. Another event that influenced her decision to help soldiers was an accident her brother had. His injuries were cared for by Barton for 2 years. At the time, she was only 11 years old. Barton began teaching school at the age of 15. She taught for 18 years before she moved to Washington, D.C in 1854.The civil war broke out 6 years later. Immediately, Barton started war service by helping the soldiers with their needs. At the battle of Bull run, Clara Barton received permission from the government to take care of the sick and hurt. Barton did this with great empathy and kindness. She acknowledged each soldier as a person. Her endurance and courage on the battlefield were admired by many. When the war ended in 1865, she used 4 years of her life to assist the government in searching for soldiers who were missing during the war.The search for missing soldiers and years of hard work made her feeble physically. In 1869, her doctors recommended a trip to Europe for a rest. While she was on vacation, she became involved with the International Red Cross, an organization set up by the Geneva Convention in 1864. Clara Barton realized that the Red Cross would be a best help to the United States. After she returned to the United States, she worked very hard to create an American Red Cross. She talked to government leaders and let American people know about the Red Cross. In 1881, the National Society of the Red Cross was finally established with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. Clara Barton managed its activities for 23 years.Barton never let her age stop her from helping people. At the age of 79, she helped flood victims in Galveston, Texas.

[There has been much debate over the past few years concernin - Tự Học 365] 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.There has been much debate over the past few years concerning fears that automation will lead to robots replacing human workers on a massive scale.The increasing use of robotics, computers and artificial intelligence is a reality, but its full implications are far from cut and dried. Some forecasts present the future in a utopian way, claiming that robots will take over the tedious heavy work thus freeing up human time and potential, allowing for more creativity and innovation. At the other end of spectrum are those who foresee an employment apocalypse, predicting that almost fifty percent of all American jobs could vanish within the next few decades. Former Microsoft chairman Bill Gates states that in 20 years robots could be in place in a number of job categories, particularly those at lower end of the scale in terms of skills. The bottom line is that while the future is always uncertain, robots are a fixture of our society, which is not going to disappear. As with the Industrial Revolution, where machines were utilized in many tasks in place of manual laborers and social upheaval followed, the Digital Revolution is likely to place robots in various jobs. In spite of that, many of today’s jobs were not in existence before the Industrial Revolution, such as those of programmers, engineers and data scientists. This leads other experts to criticize this alarmist approach of robot scare-mongering, which is invariably compared to the 19th-century “Luddites”. This group was textile workers who feared being displaced by machines and resorted to violence, burning down factories and destroying industrial equipment – their rejection of inevitable progress has come to symbolize mindless ignorance. Needless to say, exactly what new kinds of jobs might exist in the future is difficult to envision at present. Therefore, the crux of the issue is not whether jobs will be lost, but whether the creation of new vacancies will outpace the ever-increasing number of losses and what skills will be required in the future. It is clearly not all doom and gloom, as demand for employees with skills in data analysis, coding, computer science, artificial intelligence and human-machine interface is rising and will continue to do so. Furthermore, the demand for skills in jobs where humans surpass computers, such as those involving care, creativity and innovative craftsmanship, are likely to increase considerably. Ultimately, the key lies in the adaptation of the workforces, through appropriate education and training, to keep pace with our world’s technological progress.

Câu 1: What is the main concern associated with technological advances in the workplace?

A. safety at work

B. increased unemployment

C. the use of artificial intelligence

D. robots taking over the world

Câu 2: What do optimists predict technology will allow?

A. workplaces to become more relaxing

B. a greater enjoyment of life

C. flexible working hours

D. higher quality products

Câu 3: What can be inferred from the comments made by Bill Gates?

A. Changes will occur for many decades.

B. There will be increasing amounts of unskilled workers.

C. Highly skilled workers have less to worry about.

D. Technology will have a negative effect in the workplace.

Câu 4: Why is the example of the Industrial Revolution given?

A. It was also a time of great change in the workplace.

B. It had far less of an effect than the Digital Revolution.

C. It leads to widespread unemployment in the world.

D. It resulted in a more violent society.

Câu 5: What is the modern-day view of the Luddites?

A. They managed to protect their jobs.

B. Their refusing to adapt to change is seen in a negative way.

C. Their adapting to new technology saved their jobs.

D. Their actions are inspiring many workers today.

Câu 6: Which of the following is closest in meaning to crux in paragraph 4?

A. The most complex part

B. The hidden message

C. The least understood part

D. The most important part

Câu 7: According to the article, which quality will technology never be able to replace?

B. human compassion

C. the desire to manufacture goods

D. human intelligence

Câu 8: What is the main idea of this article?

A. There are few negative consequences to the Digital Revolution.

B. Learning about technology is a natural part of human development.

C. Workers will need to adapt to technological changes.

D. Unemployment will increase dramatically as technology advances.

[The first two stages in the development of civilized man wer - Tự Học 365] Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of primitive weapons and the discovery of fire, although nobody knows exactly when he acquired the use of the latter.The origin of language is also obscure. No doubt it began very gradually. Animals have a few cries that serve as signals, but even the highest apes have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional instruction. The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the mastering of speech. When man became sufficiently intelligent, we must suppose that he gradually increased the number of cries for different purposes. It was a great day when he discovered that speech could be used for narrative. There are those who think in this respect picture language preceded oral language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show in which direction he had gone, or what prey he hoped to catch. Probably picture language and oral language developed side by side. I am inclined to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man.Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was the domestication of animals; the second was agriculture. Agriculture was a step in human progress to which subsequently there was nothing comparable until our own machine age. Agriculture made possible an immense increase in the number of the human species in the regions where it could be successfully practiced. These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agriculture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads, but the agricultural way of life prevailed in the end because of the physical comforts it provided.Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit information to people who were not present when the information was given.These inventions and discoveries - fire, speech, weapons, domestic animals, agriculture, and writing - made the existence of civilized communities possible. From about 3000 B. C. until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution less than two hundred years ago there was no technical advance comparable to these. During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to develop the beliefs and political organizations appropriate to it There was, of course, an immense extension in the area of civilized life. At first it had been confined to the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Indus, but at the end of the period in question it covered much the greater part of the inhabitable globe. I do not mean to suggest that there was no technical progress during this long time; there was progress—there were even two inventions of very great importance, namely gunpowder and the mariner’s compass—but neither of these can be compared in their power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture.(Adapted from “The Development of Human Civilization”)

Câu 1: The author of the passage implies that in the development of man _________.

A. human speech developed along with other human faculties

B. picture language and written language developed side by side

C. oral language preceded the use of fire

D. the ape might be taught to master speech

Câu 2: According to the passage, picture language was found most useful when __________.

A. people didn’t want to use speech in communication

B. oral language was not fully developed

C. people went hunting or traveling somewhere

D. people were inhabiting in caves

A. increase

B. agriculture

C. number

D. soil

Câu 4: The word "obscure" in paragraph 3 mostly means ________.

A. interesting

B. complex

C. imperfect

D. unclear

Câu 5: The pastoral nomads would not have yielded to the agricultural way of life ________.

A. if it had not been for the benefits brought about by agriculture

B. unless agriculture could provide them with sufficient domesticated animals

C. if agriculture had taken up too large a number of their pastures

[ Since water is the basis of life composing the g - Tự Học 365] Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare. And since man's inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop.Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat. Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word.The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could survive if, like Mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.

Câu 1: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as ________.

A. water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things

B. sources of flowing water are rare in a desert

C. water is an essential part of his existence

D. very few large animals are found in the desert

Câu 2: The word "Them" in the passage refer to _________.

A. minutes

B. animals

C. people

D. water

Câu 3: The title for this passage could be ________.

A. "Animal Life in a Desert Environment"

B. "Man's Life in a Desert Environment"

C. "Desert Plants"

D. "Life Underground"

Câu 4: According to the passage, creatures in the desert ________.

A. are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest

B. are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world

C. are smaller and fleeter than forest animals

D. live in an accommodating environment

Câu 5: The phrase "those forms" in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT ________.

A. water-loving animals

B. moist-skinned animals

C. the coyote and the bobcat

D. many large animals
