Read the passage and choose the best answer to complete each of the sentences below. There are many proverbs about friends and friendship, such as “True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost”, and “A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out”. When you read these quotes, stop and think about your friendship. Do you and your friends act in a caring way towards one another, do you respect them and do they respect you, but most of all do you value the relationship and love spending time together? Friendship is more than just hanging out together and gossiping about other people. True friendship is when two people have mutual respect for one another, and really care about the each other’s feelings and dreams. You need to be able to be honest with your friends. If there is ever a time when you feel that you cannot tell them the truth, for fear that they will be mad or will not understand, then they are not true friends. Friends share with each other important things that they would not share with others. Friends also care about each other, stick up for one another and enjoy spending time together.

The world’s population increased from 3 billion in 1959 to 6 billion by 1999, a doubling that occurred over 40 years. The Census Bureau’s latest projections show that population growth will continue in the 21st century, although more slowly. The world’s population is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion by 2042, an increase of 50 percent that will require 43 years. The world’s population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year from 1950 to 1951 to a peak of over 2 percent in the early 1960s due to rising age at marriage as well as increasing availability and use of effective birth-control methods. Note that changes in population growth have not always been steady. A dip in the growth rate from 1959-1960, for instance, was due to the Great leap Forward in China. During that time, both natural disasters and decreased agricultural output in the wake of massive social reorganization caused China’s death rate to rise sharply and its fertility rate to fall by almost half. [Census Bureau: cục điều tra dân số; dip: go down and then up again; Great leap Forward in China (1958-1961); in the wake of: coming after or following sth; fertility rate: birth rate] 12.

Mankind is feeling greater pressure from the expanding number of people. The area of the earth can never be expanded. Nor are there endless sources of food and clothing. Yet people are being born faster than they are dying. In the next forty years, the world population may double. How can so many people be fed? What is worse, there is danger that someday mankind will have only standing room. Birth control should be a basic policy in our country. China has the greatest number of population in the world. With the high birth rate, the production of grains and goods will be unable to meet the need of the people. To raise people’s living standard, we must practise birth control. There are disadvantages of a family having more children. First, parents cannot give their children a good breeding in food, clothing and shelter and let alone education. Second, child-rearing will exhaust the parents, leaving no time and energy for their work. Last, a family with more children will increase the burden of society. 4.

Mother’s Day was the idea of an American woman, Anna Jarvis. Anna’s mother wasn’t alive any more, and Anna wanted a special day to remember her mother. Her friends agreed. However, many people in The U.S weren’t happy about Anna’s idea. Some thought a national day of celebration is unnecessary. Anna and her friends wrote letters to important people. These people liked the idea. Finally, on 8th May, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day, a day of celebration in The United States. 25.

Well, I must admit that such thing didn’t cross my mind until last February when I got a letter from the British Council, saying that I had won a language course in England. The polite question mentioned was the one I had to ask on arrival in Parkston, a picturesque part of Poole with lot of semi-detached houses on either side of each street. What struck me most was the kindness of an old lady, who happened to leave Safeway’s just after my getting off the coach. Not only did she show me where to phone for a taxi, but she also gave me a hand with the luggage. I was really surprised, too, when the taxi driver got out of the car and helped me put the bags into the boot. I immediately thought of Polish taxi drivers who usually do not make the slightest effort to help you, apart from pressing the right button and waiting for the boot to open. In spite of the stereotypes about reluctance towards foreigners, the English turn out to be an extreme polite and open nation. Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 8th edition reluctance: miễn cưởng/ detached: tách rời ra / boot: the space at the back of a car that you put bags, cases, etc. in 46.

In an early survey conducted in 1888, a billion and a half people inhabited the earth. Now, the population is about six billion and is growing fast. Even though the rate of growth has begun to slow down, most people believe the population size may be eight billion during the next several years. If we examine the amount of land available for this ever increasing population, we begin to see the problem. Not all land is useful to us because it cannot produce food. We can cut out about one fifth of it because it is covered by snow and ice. Then we can cut out another fifth because it is desert. Another fifth is mountains. The other fifth does not have enough soil for crops to grow because it is bare rock. Obviously, with so little land to support us, we should take great care not to reduce it any more or with the rapidly growing population we may sooner or later lack food to eat and place to live in. 31. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The world's population and the shortage of cultivated land. B. The growth of the world's population.
