Read the passage and decide whether the statements are true (T), or false (F): One of the worst things you can do to your body is doing nothing at all: Sitting parked on your butt can be just as dangerous as being obese, according to a study from the University of Cambridge. Globally, 1 in 4 adults aren’t moving enough, according to the World Health Organization. And even if you think you’re an active person, you might be spending just enough time in front of your TV when you’re not at the gym to be putting your health at risk. Feeling down? Blame your chair: After surveying more than 3,300 government employees, Australian researchers found that men who sat for more than 6 hours a day at work were 90 percent more likely to feel moderate psychological distress - like feeling nervous, restless, hopeless, or even tired - than men who sat for less than 3 hours a day. What’s more, other types of sedentary behavior - like watching TV or playing electronic games - can increase your risk for anxiety, according to a recent meta-analysis of nine studies published in BMC Public Health. That might be because if you're spending your time on those pastimes, you’re probably not fitting in enough physical activity, the researchers say. And that’s important, since exercise has mood-boosting benefits. When you work up a sweat, your body produces feel-good hormones called endorphins, according to the Mayo Clinic. In addition, recent research indicates that cardio can boost your mood just as effectively as prescribed antidepressants. T F 27. Leading a sedentary lifestyle does not pose any threat to your health. x 28. 25% of people in the world are not physically active. x 29. There is a close link between the amount of time people sit and their risk of mental illnesses x 30. The more you watch TV, the less anxious you may feel. x 31. The effect of cardio exercise on your body is not as significant as that of prescribed x antidepressants. VII. Read the passage and match the paragraphs with suitable headings.

5. Tài liệu Ôn thi học kì 1 Năm học 2018 - 2019 A. Your current physical health and condition B. Your current work environment C. Relaxation and meditation techniques you use D. Your current marital status E. Community and social activities you are engaged in F. Your daily eating habits G. Level of your activities and exercises Mental health deserves real conditioning and taking care of, just like the entire body. Some disregard a lot of mental issue to stress and simply choke everything up to the need to relax. The truth is that you need to have more consideration of these issues. And while there may be lots of treatment options that can be chosen, knowing the causes behind them in the first place can help you decide on the best approach to treat these issues. 32. ___ G___ The activities you are involved in, as well as the exercises you do, affect your mental health just how they affect your body. In fact, there are some studies stating that exercises and activities are as effective as taking antidepressants. Exercise reduces muscle pain and caters to mobility and pain challenges. If you do not want to go to the gym, you can opt to go walking or running. Simple movements like taking the stairs and taking your dog for a walk may seem simple but they are enough to affect your mental health. 33. ___ A___ Your mental state and health can undeniablybe affected by your physical health. Face it, both your body and mind can never be separated with each other. If you have mental issues, it can reflect in your physical health and if you have physical conditions, it is most likely that your mental health will be affected. Some specific conditions cause mental conditions like the endocrine system disorders. These disorders can lead to depression, anxiety, and sleep cycle regulation problems. 34. ___ E___ Your community and social activities are able to contribute to and affect your mental health. Research shows that the value of friendship when it comes to people with mental issues is highly valuable. Simple friendship makes a big difference in mental health condition since people in isolation are considered to struggle more with mental issues than people who have an active social life. In fact, simply going out with your friends once a week can improve your mood and contribute to a healthier mental capacity. And this is even better when involved in larger communities. 35. ___ B___ Your work environment is highly possible to affect your mental health either positively or negatively. Here are some of the questions you could ask yourself to evaluate if it is a positive or a negative factor in your mental health: Are you having connection with other people on your job? Do your superiors and colleagues respect and value you? Can you handle the workload? What you can do in order to make a more positive presence at work is to combine mutual rapport to your very own personal drive. 36. ___ C___ One of the best methods in easing your mental issues is to use relaxation and meditation techniques. It is necessary to have a consistent meditation activity. Over time, meditation and other relaxation activities alone can help people heal their mental issues. Having a healthy sleep A healthy sleeping routine can influence your mental health just the same as it affects how cranky you get in the morning when you didn’t have enough sleep or how you feel frustrated when you struggle to get yourself out of bed. Our mental health can be significantly influenced by our own lifestyle. While professional help should be sought if you are suffering symptoms of a mental illness, there is much you can do to help yourself manage your condition in along with any healthcare you may be receiving from a qualified practitioner.

A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from a rich country, I got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon got used to living there. The people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was. One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I contacted organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time. It wasn't perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before. And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day. All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity. 35. The author ___. A. has been working for OV for a year B. is living in the capital N'Djamena C. was born in a rich family D. used to be a volunteer working in a remote village 36. How did the author feel when he arrived in the village? A. surprised B. impressed C. disappointed D. depressed 37. Which of the following is NOT true? A. It took a lot of time to take water home from the well. B. The villagers used to live in conditions without running water. C. Solar energy was used to heat water. D. A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes. 38. What does the author think about his time with OV? A. It was paid a lot of money. B. It was not worth working. C. It wasted time. D. It provided good experience. Tổ Tiếng Anh – Trường THPT Trần Văn Ơn Trang 11

14. Tài liệu Ôn thi học kì 1 Năm học 2018 - 2019 All we see on social media is “ omg” “ bae” and “lmao”. We have no need to use proper English anymore.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. THE VANISHING INVENTION In 1998, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim. Professor Antonio Cervilla discovered how to use water as a substitute for petrol. The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of water. His invention uses a molybdenum compound to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. Unlike othermethods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature.This impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water. The use of molybdenum is the perfect choice because, although rare, it is cheap and found all around the planet. Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is no explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which have also vanished. An inventor from the Philipines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled car but was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison.If this technology were to become widely available, it would prove disastrous for petrol station owners and would also save the planet from the impending environmental catastrophes being caused by pollution. 34.The word “substitute” in the passage is closest in meaning to ___. A.addition B. alternative C. imitation D. solution 35.Which of the following is NOT true about Cervilla’s invention? A.It happens at atmospheric temperature. B.It imitates something in nature. C.It requires no electricity. D.It uses enzymes to break down water. 36.The word “it” in the passage refers to ___. A. enzyme B. molybdenum C. petrol D. water 37.The word “vanished” in the passage is opposite in meaning to ___.

I work in the cosmetic business, an industry centered on making people look attractive and younger. However, putting creams on your face is only part of the answer; it is important that we keep agile, fit and healthy. For me, running keeps me looking and feeling good. It helps my whole body, not just my legs and lungs. Initially, I chose running as a sport because of long working hours and lots of nights away from hotels. What other sport can be practised at any time of the day or night, in any town and with a minimum of equipment? I had a lot of work pressures, frequent business lunches and drunk too much. I decided I was on the danger list! To my surprise, within three months, I was eating properly, sleeping better, feeling more relaxed and more able to cope with everyday stresses. Running gave me means to control my own life, it gave me a sense of well-being. When I started I didn’t think about speed; I alternated running and walking. After one or two miles I would stop. I tried to repeat this about four times a week. It took several months to run six miles. However, I wasn’t in a hurry, I was quick to appreciate the psychological and physical benefits; as I got stronger I ran faster. I’ve been running for more than three years now and have entered several half-marathons. I still love to run. If I get injured, my whole personality and life-style suffer. I decided I run to enjoy living, or maybe I live to enjoy running. Whatever the case, I expect I’ll still be on the roads when I am sixty! 31. What is the writer trying to do in this text? A. complain about the cosmetic business B. explain the benefits of running C. warn people about the danger of running D. offer advice to people about how to start running 32. Why would somebody read this text? A. to learn how to run better and faster B. to find out about the benefits of running C. to know more about the cosmetic industry D. to take up another sport instead of running 33. What does the writer think? A. Running can seriously damage your health. B. Only middle-aged people should go running. C. Running improves your quality of life. D. You should run at night. 34. What are the benefits the writer describes? A. She can go to business lunches and drink without putting on weight. B. She can spend more nights away in hotels without feeling lonely. C. She can control other people’s lives better. D. She feels better both psychologically and physically. 35. Which title would be the most suitable for the text? A. Give up your job and take up running! B. Run for your life! C. Face cream and fitness! D. Send your boss running! Questions 36-45 Look at the statements below about Cambridgeshire.
