GUIDED CLOZE TEST (1 PT) Choose the word or phrase (A, B, C or D) that best fits each blank space in the following passage. SMILE POWER The expression on your face can actually dramatically alter your feelings and perceptions, and it has been proved that (66) ___ smiling or frowning can create corresponding emotional responses. The idea was first put forward by a French physiologist, Israel Waynbaum, in 1906. He believed that different facial (67) ___ affected the flow of blood to the brain, and that this could create positive or negative feelings. A happy smile or irrepressible (68) ___ increased the blood flow and contributed to joyful feelings. However, sad, angry expressions decreased the flow of oxygen-carrying blood, and created a vicious circle of gloom and depression by effectively starving the brain of essential fuel. Psychologist Robert Zajonc rediscovered this early research, and (69) ___ that the temperature of the brain could affect the production and synthesis of neurotransmitters — which definitely influence our moods and energy levels. He argues that an impaired blood flow could not (70) ___ deprive the brain of oxygen, but create further chemical imbalance (71)___ inhibiting these vital hormonal messages. Zajonc goes on to propose that our brains remember that smiling is associated with being happy, and that by deliberately smiling through your tears you can (72)___ your brain to release uplifting neurotransmitters — replacing a depressed condition (73) ___ a happier one.

A. disease B. illness C. infection D. ailment 75. A. recover B. improve C. benefit D. progress V. READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt) Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. Today our knowledge of food and what it does for our bodies is far more advanced than that of the ancient. Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our bodies. There are on the market all kinds of vitamin pills which one can take to make up for one’s lack of certain important things which are needed for normal health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our bodies without these pills and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamin pills unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something which can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our bodies, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay no attention to others, we may have too much of one kind of chemical substance and not enough of others. Then, we may be in trouble. We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary protein. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any. 76. According to the passage, we now know ___. A. more and more about food and health B. food and health C. how to keep fit and stay healthy D. health is not important 77. People take certain vitamin pills when they ___. A. want to develop their muscle. B. find their bodies are short of something C. want to prevent their diseases D. are strong enough to work everything 78. The writer thinks we should ___. A. have balanced food B. be careful in choosing food C. eat simple food D. go on a diet 79. According to the passage, to get proteins we must eat ___. A. food and vitamin pills B. only fruit C. meat and vegetables D. more vegetables 80. The main topic of the passage is ___. A. proteins and food B. vitamins and proteins C. food and health D. health and vitamin pills B. PHẦN TỰ LUẬN. I. VERB FORMS.

Life (82.be) ___ very dull and grey if there were no color . People like to be surrounded with colorful things . Many years ago, people (83.want) ___ to make themselves as colorful as the things they (84.see) ___. They did this by (85.make) ___ patterns on their bodies and (86.paint) ___ themselves .

(1 pts) Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: True (T), False (F). ROBOTS Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the future robots will take over many of our tasks especially jobs of a repetitive nature. But it’s doubtful if robots will ever be able to do any of the more creative types of work - or indeed if people would want them to. In the home, robots would probably be used to do the cleaning, table-laying, scrubbing and washing up, but it’s considered unlikely so far that they’ll be used to do the cooking - at least not in the near future. Robots in the home might not be creative enough to do the cooking, plan the meals, and so on. They would be used as slaves, thereby freeing people to do more of the things they want. 101.

Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our bodies. There are on the market all kinds of vitamin pills which one can take to make up for one’s lack of certain important things which are needed for normal health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our bodies without these pills and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamin pills unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something which can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our bodies, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay no attention to others, we may have too much of one kind of chemical substance and not enough of others. Then, we may be in trouble. We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary protein. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any. 76. According to the passage, we now know ___. A. more and more about food and health B. food and health C. how to keep fit and stay healthy D. health is not important 77. People take certain vitamin pills when they ___.

(1 pts) Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: True (T), False (F). ROBOTS Would you like a robot in your house? It is now generally accepted that in the future robots will take over many of our tasks especially jobs of a repetitive nature. But it’s doubtful if robots will ever be able to do any of the more creative types of work - or indeed if people would want them to. In the home, robots would probably be used to do the cleaning, table-laying, scrubbing and washing up, but it’s considered unlikely so far that they’ll be used to do the cooking - at least not in the near future. Robots in the home might not be creative enough to do the cooking, plan the meals, and so on. They would be used as slaves, thereby freeing people to do more of the things they want. 101.
