Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 31 to 40.

[I] Social media has become a dominant force in modern communication, offering a range of benefits and challenges. [II] It has revolutionized the way people interact, share information, and even form relationships. [III] While these platforms offer opportunities for connection and expression, they also have their drawbacks. [IV] For instance, excessive use of social media has been linked to a range of negative effects, including mental health issues, social isolation, and decreased productivity. [V] However, when used responsibly, social media can also offer a variety of positive outcomes, such as the ability to stay connected with loved ones, network professionally, and access valuable information and resources.

One of the major benefits of social media is its ability to keep people connected. For example, individuals who live far apart can maintain close relationships through regular communication on these platforms. Social media also facilitates professional networking, allowing users to connect with potential employers or clients, and enabling companies to promote their products and services to a global audience. Additionally, platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram provide a space for people to share ideas, opinions, and creative work, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

Despite these advantages, there are serious concerns about the negative impact of social media, particularly on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive social media use can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. This is often attributed to the unrealistic portrayals of life that are commonly shared on these platforms, leading to comparisons that can make individuals feel inadequate or left out. Furthermore, constant exposure to negative news or online bullying can exacerbate these feelings and contribute to long-term psychological stress.

Another issue with social media is its potential to distract people from their daily responsibilities. With notifications constantly popping up and endless streams of content to scroll through, individuals may find it difficult to focus on tasks such as work, school, or personal obligations. This can result in decreased productivity and a lack of attention to important matters.

Ultimately, the impact of social media depends on how it is used. If individuals are mindful of their usage patterns and take steps to limit their time on these platforms, they can enjoy the benefits of staying connected and informed without the negative consequences. Parents, educators, and mental health professionals can also play a role in helping young people develop healthy habits and manage their social media use effectively.

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 from 28 to 34. Foot-racing is a popular activity in the United States. It is seen not only as a competitive sport but also as a way to exercise, to enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded people, and to donate money to a good cause. Though serious runners may spend months training to compete, other runners and walkers might not train at all. Those not competing to win might run in an effort to beat their own time or simply to enjoy the fun and exercise. People of all ages, from those of less than one year (who may be pushed in strollers) to those in their eighties, enter into this sport. The races are held on city streets, on college campuses, through parks, and in suburban areas, and they are commonly 5 to 10 kilometers in length. The largest footrace in the world is the 12-kilometer Bay to Breakers race that is held in San Francisco every spring. This race begins on the east side of the city near San Francisco Bay and ends on the west side at the Pacific Ocean. There may be 80,000 or more people running in this race through the streets and hills of San Francisco. In the front are the serious runners who compete to win and who might finish in as little as 34 minutes. Behind them are the thousands who take several hours to finish. In the back of the race are those who dress in costumes and come just for fun. One year there was a group of men who dressed like Elvis Presley, and another group consisted of firefighters who were tied together in a long line and who were carrying a fire-hose. There was even a bridal party, in which the bride was dressed in a long white gown and the groom wore a tuxedo. The bride and groom threw flowers to bystanders, and they were actually married at some point along the route.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

Biting into a ripe, juicy fruit brings a smile to many people’s faces. But eating that same fruit a week before it is ripe probably wouldn’t be as enjoyable! Unripe fruits are often hard and bitter, but that serves a purpose. The hard exterior of an unripe fruit protects the developing seed inside. After a seed fully develops inside the fruit, the fruit changes color, softens, and gets sweeter to become more attractive to animals and humans. These organisms eat the fruit and spread its seeds, ensuring the plant’s survival and regrowth.

But how does a fruit ripen? The ripening process involves many complex chemical reactions. When a fruit ripens, it goes through a chemical change. A chemical change happens when bonds within molecules break, and the atoms that once formed them regroup into new molecules. Chemical changes are irreversible. Once a fruit ripens, it cannot become unripe again.

One molecule responsible for this chemical change is ethylene. Ethylene (C2H4) is a colorless gas made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms. (I). It is a naturally occurring molecule in the atmosphere. (II). It is also an important plant hormone. (III). Plants release ethylene through the growing tips of roots, flowers, and ripening fruit. (IV). Although ethylene serves other purposes in plants, one of its main purposes is to trigger the chemical reactions that cause fruits to ripen. As the fruit matures, oxygen in the air helps stimulate the production of ethylene. This ethylene production is a signal that begins fruit ripening. For that reason, unripe fruits have low levels of ethylene, while ripe fruits have higher levels of ethylene. Most fruits produce ethylene and respond to ethylene in the atmosphere.

Although fruits require ethylene to ripen, different types of fruits respond to this molecule in two distinct ways: non-climacteric fruits and climacteric fruits. Non-climacteric fruits do not ripen after harvesting. They produce very little ethylene of their own. Climacteric fruits, on the other hand, continue to ripen after they are picked. These fruits produce a large amount of ethylene. Climacteric fruits can also speed up the ripening process of other fruits nearby since they release high levels of ethylene into the air.  

Which of the following best summarizes the main point of the passage?

Một viên đạn đang bay với vận tốc 10m/s thì nổ thành hai mảnh. Mảnh thứ nhất, chiếm 60% khối lượng của viên đạn và tiếp tục bay theo hướng cũ với vận tốc 25m/s. Tốc độ và hướng chuyển động của mảnh thứ hai là

Read the passage carefully

1. No matter who we are or where we are from, we only have 24 hours each day to get things done. Some people seem to make the most of their time, using it to achieve their goals and dreams. Others feel that life is passing them by and they aren’t accomplishing anything. If you are in the latter group, it is not too late to turn things around. By implementing a few simple hacks, you can start getting better results very quickly.

2. If you want to become more productive, it pays to learn about the Pareto principle (which is also known as the 80-20 rule). It states that for most tasks, 80 percent of the results we get come from 20 percent of the work we do. For example. 80 percent of the company sales usually come from 20 percent of customers. Therefore, the trick is to focus your efforts on the key 20 percent of actions that truly matter to greatly improve your results.

3. In some cases, people may be busy from morning to night but still seem to get nothing done. In this situation, the problem might be that clear goals haven’t been set. To fix this, set some time aside to list the things you want to achieve in life. Then, select the top three or four that you want to focus on for the next year. Look at your goals every night before bedtime and ask yourself what are the next actions to accomplish each day. Then, promise yourself that you will finish these tasks no matter how busy you get. If possible try completing the tasks first thing in the morning so you are assured of success.

4. Another common mistake regarding productivity is not considering our energy levels. If we try to work around the clock, we will eventually get tired and quit. Everyone needs time to sleep, eat, socialize with friends, and unwind from the stress of the day. To make sure you don’t burn out, be sure to schedule some time for breaks and fun activities into your schedule every day. Finally, no matter how difficult your goals may seem, remember the old saying that “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.
