E. READING COMPREHENSION

Read the following passages and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Passage 1

Akiko, an exchange student from Japan, spent three weeks attending a summer program at Thornwood campus on the outskirts of New York City. It was her very first journey abroad without her parents, which made her feel both excited and nervous.

During the program, Akiko and international students from different countries attended intensive English classes each morning. The teachers encouraged them to debate social topics and speak English continuously. In the afternoons, the school organised visits to famous cultural landmarks. Akiko toured modern university campuses, explored world-class museums, and participated in exciting sports tournaments.

The highlight of her entire summer was the excursion to the top of Rockefeller Centre in Manhattan. Standing on the observation deck on a clear afternoon, Akiko could view the sprawling metropolis below, with its iconic skyscrapers stretching towards the horizon. "I had seen New York in Hollywood movies many times, but witnessing the city with my own eyes was completely magical," she remarked.

Living in the campus dormitory also taught Akiko practical life skills. She learned how to do her own laundry, manage her personal budget, and resolve minor disagreements with roommates. By the end of the course, Akiko felt that she had grown up significantly. She became much more confident in expressing her ideas and formed lifelong friendships with peers from around the world.

Câu 66. What is the main idea of the passage?

Câu 67. Why did Akiko feel nervous at the beginning of her trip?

Câu 68. What did Akiko do in the mornings during the summer program?

Câu 69. The word "metropolis" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Câu 70. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a skill Akiko acquired during her stay?

Passage 2

School life is filled with delightful memories, but teenagers often encounter unpleasant or stressful moments as well. One of the most painful issues that students may face is bullying, which can happen either directly at school or online through social networks.

When Minh started seventh grade at a new school, he was frequently teased by a group of older boys because of his small build and quiet personality. The bullies often hid his schoolbag, copied his homework without permission, and mocked him during break times. Minh felt completely helpless. Instead of telling his teachers or parents, he chose to remain silent because he was terrified that the situation would get worse. His academic performance dropped, and he often pretended to be sick so that he could stay home.

Fortunately, Minh's father noticed his son's unusual sadness and sat down to have an honest conversation. When Minh broke down in tears and revealed the truth, his father did not blame him. Instead, he met the school principal and teachers to find a constructive solution. The school quickly intervened, disciplining the bullies and organizing workshop sessions on empathy and school safety.

Minh's experience taught him an important lesson: staying silent never solves a problem. When facing mistreatment or harassment, seeking timely support from adults and school counselors is crucial. Today, Minh has become an active member of his school's anti-bullying club, helping other vulnerable students overcome their fears.

Câu 71. What is the best title for the passage?

Câu 72. Why did Minh initially keep silent about being bullied?

Câu 73. What happened to Minh as a result of being bullied?

Câu 74. The word "intervened" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Câu 75. What does Minh do now to help others?

Passage 3

Human life is shaped by the experiences we accumulate over time. While positive experiences bring joy, satisfaction, and motivation, negative experiences – such as failure, embarrassment, or heartbreak – often serve as our greatest teachers.

Psychologists suggest that when people encounter an embarrassing moment, such as forgetting their lines during a stage performance or failing an important exam, their brains naturally reflect on what went wrong. For instance, a student whose mind went completely blank during an oral presentation might realize that they relied too heavily on rote learning rather than deep understanding. Recognizing this shortcoming pushes them to adopt better study habits, such as mind mapping, group discussions, and regular revision.

Furthermore, surviving tough situations builds resilience, which is the mental capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. Students who participate in challenging summer camps, like survival courses or military-style training, often experience physical exhaustion, strict rules, and home-sickness. However, once they complete the program, they gain immense self-belief. They know that they can handle pressure and thrive in unfamiliar environments.

In short, neither success nor failure defines who we are; rather, it is how we react to our experiences that matters. Embracing both pleasant and unpleasant events with an open mindset allows young people to mature emotionally, intellectually, and socially.

Câu 76. According to paragraph 1, what do negative experiences often provide?

Câu 77. What might a student do after having their mind go blank during a presentation?

Câu 78. The word "resilience" in paragraph 3 is best explained as ______.
