Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November each year.

During their difficult first winter, the local Native Americans generously taught them how to cultivate crops, catch fish, and hunt animals. Following a bountiful harvest in 1621, the Pilgrims hosted a feast to express gratitude to the Native Americans, which is remembered today as the first Thanksgiving.

In contemporary American society, Thanksgiving represents the largest secular holiday, offering a valuable opportunity for families and friends to gather. The centerpiece of the traditional holiday dinner is an enormous roast turkey. Accompanying dishes usually include stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potato casserole, cranberry sauce, and warm pumpkin pie for dessert.

The holiday is also celebrated with spectacular public traditions. In the morning, millions of spectators gather on the streets of New York City or watch on television to enjoy the famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which features colossal character balloons, celebrity performers, and marching bands. In the afternoon, it is customary for families to relax and watch live American football games.

Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T), FALSE (F), or NOT GIVEN (NG).

Maintaining good health is essential for leading a happy and productive life. Many health experts emphasize that breakfast is the most critical meal of the day. Eating a balanced breakfast provides the body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast, which helps improve concentration and energy levels throughout the morning. Skipping breakfast, on the other hand, often leads to fatigue, reduced work performance, and unhealthy snacking later in the day.

In addition to proper nutrition, regular physical activity plays a vital role in preventing chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart problems. Adults are recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, each week. Furthermore, getting adequate sleep of 7 to 8 hours each night allows the body to repair tissues and strengthen the immune system. Unfortunately, many college students stay up late playing video games or browsing social media, which severely harms their physical and mental well-being.

Câu 31. Breakfast supplies energy to both the human body and brain after a night without food.

Online shopping has grown dramatically over the past decade, transforming how consumers purchase goods and services around the globe. With just a smartphone or a computer connected to the internet, customers can browse thousands of products, compare prices across various platforms, and place an order within a few clicks. The convenience of having items delivered directly to one's doorstep has made e-commerce particularly popular among busy urban workers and young people.

One of the greatest advantages of online shopping is the variety of choices available. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar stores with limited shelf space, online retailers can display an enormous catalog of merchandise. In addition, consumers can easily read customer reviews and ratings before making a purchasing decision, which helps them assess the quality and reliability of a product. Many shopping websites also offer attractive discounts, promotional vouchers, and free shipping programs during festive seasons.

However, online shopping is not without its drawbacks. One major issue is the risk of receiving counterfeit, low-quality, or damaged goods that do not match the photos displayed on the screen. Returning unsatisfactory items can sometimes be a frustrating and time-consuming process. Moreover, online shoppers face potential cybersecurity risks, such as personal data theft and credit card fraud. Therefore, consumers should always make transactions on reputable websites and protect their personal banking information carefully.

Câu 36. What is the main idea of the passage?

Câu 37. Why is online shopping especially appealing to busy workers?

Câu 38. According to paragraph 2, what can consumers do to assess product quality?

Câu 39. The word "counterfeit" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Câu 40. What caution should online consumers take according to the author?

Sarah had always dreamed of visiting Japan during the spring season to witness the famous cherry blossom festival. In April last year, she finally saved enough money to book a ten-day solo trip to Tokyo and Kyoto. Before departing, Sarah downloaded several translation apps and language guides on her smartphone, which helped her communicate with local residents and navigate the complex public transit network.

In Tokyo, she spent four full days exploring vibrant historic neighborhoods like Asakusa, visiting ancient temples, and tasting authentic ramen bowls at small local stalls. What surprised Sarah most was how remarkably clean, punctual, and safe everything was throughout the city. She then took the famous Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto, where she visited traditional wooden houses, tranquil Zen gardens, and historic tea houses. Although hotel accommodations and restaurant meals were quite pricey, Sarah felt that every single experience was worth the expense. She took thousands of digital photos and hopes to return to explore Hokkaido in the northern part of Japan in the near future.

Stamp collecting, also known as philately, is widely recognized as one of the world's oldest and most popular hobbies. It first emerged during the mid-nineteenth century, shortly after Great Britain issued the "Penny Black" in 1840, which was the world's very first adhesive postage stamp. Within a few decades, people across Europe and North America began preserving and exchanging stamps from different corners of the globe.

Many enthusiasts are drawn to stamp collecting because stamps serve as miniature artworks that reflect the history, geography, and culture of the issuing countries. Postage stamps frequently feature prominent historical figures, famous architectural landmarks, endangered wildlife species, and important national milestones. Collecting stamps allows individuals to learn a tremendous amount about world history and international cultures without ever having to leave their homes.

Moreover, stamp collecting can also be an engaging social and financial endeavor. Philatelists often participate in local clubs, attend international exhibitions, and exchange rare items with fellow collectors worldwide. While the vast majority of modern stamps have very little monetary value, exceptionally rare specimens with printing errors or limited editions can command thousands or even millions of dollars at public auctions. However, true collectors agree that the ultimate reward of this timeless hobby lies in the joy of discovery and patience.

Câu 36. What is the main topic of the passage?

Câu 37. When was the world's first adhesive postage stamp issued?

Câu 38. According to paragraph 2, what do postage stamps commonly depict?

Câu 39. The word "specimens" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T), FALSE (F), or NOT GIVEN (NG).

Modern technology has fundamentally transformed how university students communicate, study, and spend their free time. A recent survey conducted among more than two thousand undergraduate students revealed that the average young adult spends over four hours each day on a smartphone. The vast majority of participants reported using their mobile phones primarily for browsing social networking platforms, streaming music, and texting friends.

While digital devices offer remarkable convenience and instant access to educational materials, excessive screen usage is raising serious concerns among mental health professionals. Research shows that staring at digital screens late into the night suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates the human sleep cycle. Consequently, students who use phones before bedtime frequently suffer from sleep deprivation, daytime exhaustion, and lower academic achievement. Moreover, psychologists have pointed out that prolonged social media consumption often leads to social comparison, increasing feelings of anxiety and loneliness. Health experts strongly advise students to establish a "digital curfew" by switching off all electronic gadgets at least thirty minutes prior to going to sleep.

Câu 31. The survey was conducted on more than two thousand undergraduate students.

Câu 32. Most students surveyed use their smartphones mainly to play competitive online video games.

Câu 33. Staring at screens late at night can interfere with the body's natural sleep cycle.

Câu 34. Female students spend significantly more time on social media than male students.

Câu 35. Experts recommend that students turn off all digital devices half an hour before bedtime.

The Mediterranean diet has long been celebrated by nutritionists and physicians worldwide as one of the healthiest dietary patterns on the planet. Originating from the traditional cooking styles of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece, Italy, and Spain, this diet focuses primarily on plant-based foods, healthy fats, and physical activity rather than strict calorie counting.

The cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet is fresh produce, whole grains, nuts, and legumes. Extra virgin olive oil serves as the principal source of added fat, replacing butter and margarine in everyday meals. Unlike saturated animal fats, olive oil contains abundant monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, which are proven to lower harmful cholesterol levels and protect the heart. Additionally, fish and seafood are consumed regularly, providing beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, whereas poultry, eggs, and dairy products like Greek yogurt and cheese are eaten in moderate amounts. Red meat and sugary desserts are reserved only for special occasions.

Extensive clinical studies have repeatedly confirmed the immense health advantages associated with this lifestyle. Individuals who adhere closely to the Mediterranean diet have a noticeably lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. Furthermore, researchers have discovered that the diet helps preserve cognitive function and reduces the likelihood of Alzheimer's disease in senior citizens. Combined with daily physical exercise and shared communal meals with loved ones, the Mediterranean lifestyle promotes not only physical vitality but also enduring psychological happiness.

Câu 36. What is the main subject of the passage?

Câu 37. What is the primary source of dietary fat in the Mediterranean diet?

Câu 38. Which food is recommended only for special occasions according to the passage?

Câu 39. The word "vitality" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Part 2: Reading Comprehension (3.0 points)

Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T), FALSE (F), or NOT GIVEN (NG).

Volunteering has become an increasingly popular activity among college students across Vietnam. Every summer, thousands of young undergraduates register for volunteer campaigns, such as the "Green Summer" campaign, to travel to remote rural areas and mountainous villages. During these trips, student volunteers participate in various meaningful community projects, including repairing dilapidated country bridges, paving rural roads, and organizing free evening literacy and English classes for disadvantaged local children.

Participating in volunteer programs not only benefits underprivileged communities but also provides university students with invaluable real-life experiences. Living far away from modern city conveniences helps them develop resilience, self-discipline, and practical problem-solving skills. Moreover, working closely in volunteer teams teaches students how to collaborate effectively, communicate with people from diverse backgrounds, and handle unexpected difficulties. Many students report that their voluntary work gave them a profound sense of purpose, expanded their social circle, and made them appreciate the simple blessings of everyday life.

Câu 31. Only students from medical colleges are allowed to join the "Green Summer" campaign.

Câu 32. Student volunteers help build roads and teach classes to children in rural areas.

Câu 33. Volunteers receive a monthly financial allowance from local village authorities.

Câu 34. Volunteering in remote places helps students learn teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Câu 35. Most students who join volunteer campaigns find high-paying jobs immediately after graduation.

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 36 to 40.

In recent years, the habit of reading books has faced tough competition from digital entertainment options such as short video clips, online streaming services, and social media platforms. However, cognitive scientists and educators continue to affirm that reading printed books provides unmatched psychological and intellectual benefits that digital media cannot easily replicate.

First and foremost, reading books exercises the human brain in ways that passive entertainment cannot. When reading a novel or an informative non-fiction book, the brain is required to process complex narratives, interpret metaphors, and visualize characters and settings. This active mental engagement strengthens neural pathways, expands vocabulary, and sharpens analytical thinking skills. Studies have shown that individuals who maintain a regular reading habit score consistently higher on memory tests and comprehension assessments compared to non-readers.

Furthermore, reading serves as an extraordinary method for stress relief and emotional well-being. Immersing oneself in a compelling story allows the mind to disconnect from the pressures and anxieties of daily life, slowing down heart rate and easing muscular tension. In fact, a study conducted by the University of Sussex revealed that just six minutes of silent reading can lower stress levels by up to sixty-eight percent, making it more effective than listening to music or taking a walk. Therefore, dedicating twenty to thirty minutes each day to reading before sleep can foster both mental calm and better overall sleep quality.

Câu 36. What is the primary purpose of the passage?

Câu 37. According to paragraph 2, why does reading exercise the brain effectively?

Câu 38. According to the study mentioned in paragraph 3, how long does it take for silent reading to reduce stress?

Câu 39. The word "replicate" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

Câu 40. What recommendation does the author provide at the end of the text?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 41 to 45.

Living in a large metropolitan city offers numerous exciting opportunities for young professionals and students. Urban centres are packed with modern shopping malls, cultural museums, vibrant entertainment venues, and top-tier educational institutions. In addition, finding a job or starting a business is generally much (41) ______ in big cities due to the thriving commercial environment and massive consumer market.

On the other hand, city life also presents significant challenges. One of the most common complaints among urban residents is severe traffic congestion. During rush hours, main roads and intersections are often completely clogged (42) ______ private cars and motorbikes, causing commuters to waste hours in gridlock. Furthermore, the cost of living in major cities is exceptionally high; rent, groceries, and healthcare services (43) ______ a large portion of a person's monthly income. Exposure to air pollution and continuous noise can also have negative impacts (44) ______ residents' mental and physical health. Therefore, before deciding to move to a bustling city, individuals should carefully weigh both the pros and (45) ______ of urban life.

Part 2: Reading Comprehension (3.0 points)

Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are TRUE (T), FALSE (F), or NOT GIVEN (NG).

Cycling has witnessed an unprecedented resurgence in major metropolitan cities across the globe over the last decade. As urban populations continue to swell and vehicular gridlock worsens, millions of commuters are turning to bicycles as a practical, eco-friendly alternative for daily transportation. Many municipal governments have recognized this shift by investing heavily in dedicated bike lanes, automated public bike-sharing stations, and secure parking facilities at central railway terminals.

From a physiological perspective, regular cycling delivers substantial physical benefits. Riding a bicycle for just thirty minutes each day engages major muscle groups, enhances cardiovascular endurance, and significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and obesity. Furthermore, cycling is a low-impact exercise, which means it places far less stress on knee joints compared to running or weightlifting, making it suitable for people of all age groups.

In addition to health advantages, urban cycling yields immense environmental and economic rewards. Unlike motorized vehicles that release tons of carbon dioxide and toxic exhaust into the atmosphere, bicycles produce zero emissions, directly improving local air quality. Commuters who cycle to work also save considerable amounts of money annually on petrol, road tolls, vehicle insurance, and expensive parking permits. By fostering a bike-friendly environment, modern cities are not only reducing traffic jams but also creating cleaner, quieter, and more liveable urban communities.

Câu 31. Municipal authorities in many cities have built dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing stations.

Câu 32. Running places less physical strain on knee joints than cycling.

Câu 33. Riding a bicycle on a daily basis can help lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Câu 34. Electric bicycles are more popular among office workers than traditional manual bicycles.

Câu 35. Choosing to cycle allows commuters to save money on fuel and parking fees.

In an increasingly interconnected global economy, the ability to communicate in more than one language has transitioned from a prestigious personal asset into an essential professional necessity. With international trade, multinational corporations, and cross-border collaborations expanding at an unprecedented rate, employers worldwide place immense value on multilingual personnel who can effortlessly navigate cultural nuances and facilitate seamless business negotiations.

Beyond expanding career prospects, learning a second language yields profound cognitive benefits that endure throughout an individual's lifetime. Neuroscientists have discovered that acquiring a new linguistic system forces the brain to continuously process novel grammatical structures and unfamiliar vocabulary. This rigorous mental exercise enhances problem-solving abilities, sharpens memory retention, and fosters superior multitasking skills. Remarkably, long-term studies reveal that bilingual individuals exhibit greater cognitive flexibility and develop symptoms of age-related cognitive decline, such as dementia, four to five years later than monolingual peers.

Furthermore, acquiring a foreign language broadens one's cultural horizons in ways that translation software cannot replicate. Language is inherently intertwined with cultural identity, humor, historical heritage, and social values. When you speak someone's native tongue, you demonstrate profound respect for their heritage, enabling you to form deeper and more authentic interpersonal relationships. Whether traveling abroad, enjoying foreign literature in its original form, or collaborating on international research projects, speaking a second language unlocks a richer, more diverse perspective on the modern world.

Câu 36. What is the primary focus of the passage?

Câu 37. Why do modern employers highly value multilingual workers?

Câu 38. According to paragraph 2, what mental benefit do bilingual individuals experience in old age?

Câu 39. The word "nuances" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
