(10 points) Some recent research into (01) ______________ (CONVERSE) between men and women has produced results which will surprise few women. Men are always interrupting women when they talk. One (02) _____________ (RESEARCH) feels that men regard female talk as a kind of conversational (03) ______________ (HOUSE). They expect women to play a (04) ______________ (SUPPORT) role. So a man interrupts in a display of dominance or control. Men also have a much more (05) ______________ (PLEASANT) listening style. Whereas a woman uses gestures or say: "mm", a man will say such thing as "right" or "okay" thus settle the stage for an ( 06) ______________ (INTERRUPT).

Male talk is often (08) _____________ (ARGUE) while women are more tentative, asking more questions and tending to build up their replies on what the other person had said. The research would indicate that women are better (09) ______________ (LISTEN) than men.

Question 7: Read the following paragraph about the education in Britain. Write true (T) or false (F) for each of the sentences below, according to the information given. If the information is not in the paragraph write no information (NI). (10 points) In Britain most schools are financed by the state and, for the children attending these schools, they are free. However; about 5 per cent of the school population attend private schools, and these are financed from pupils' fees. The general pattern of schooling in Britain is as follows. All the children must start school at the age of five. Many have previously attended play schools or nursery schools, but these are not compulsory. Primary education, whether state or private, seeks to develop all aspects of the child: physical and emotional, as well as intellectual and cultural. Roughly at the age of 11 (but often somewhat. later, especially in the case of private education), children move to different schools. These are called secondary schools, and nowadays most of them are comprehensive, that is to say, children of all abilities go to the same school. Within some comprehensive schools children are put into different classes according to their intellectual ability; in others, children of different abilities are all kept together in the same class. In the first four or five years at a secondary school, the pupils have a set timetable of subjects, such as History, English and a foreign language, as well as science subjects and sports. At the end of this period most pupils take one or two public examinations, though THƯ VIỆN SEN VÀNG 4 TUYỂN TẬP CÁC ĐỀ THI VÀ ĐÁP ÁN ÔN LUYỆN KIẾN THỨC TIẾNG ANH LỚP 9 these do not normally include all the subjects that the students have studied. In fact, a pupil may take the exam in as many, or as few, subjects as is thought suitable. After these exams, i.e. at the age of 16 or so, most pupils at state schools leave. Only about 30 per cent continue at school, compared with about 90 per cent in the small private sector. For those that stay on, in either type of school, the next two or three years are spent concentrating on a small number of subjects, and at the end of these years of concentrated preparation, the pupils usually take a public school-leaving examination in their three specialist subjects. Their results in these exams will largely determine whether they now start to work, or whether they can continue with higher education at a university or college. Answers (T, F or NI) ____ 01. School education in Britain is free of charge. ____ 02. School education is compulsory in Britain. ____ 03. School education in Britain is mainly free of charge. ____ 04. Most children in Britain attend private schools. ____ 05. Most children in Britain attend state schools. ____ 06. Comprehensive secondary schools are for pupils of different abilities. ____ 07. Pupils of the same abilities must attend comprehensive secondary schools. ____ 08. After four or five years at secondary schools, all pupils take one or two public examinations. ____ 09. In Britain state schools are better than those of the private sector. ____ 10. At the age of 16 or so, about 70 per cent pupils at state schools leave. Question 8: Read the following passage then answer the questions below (8 points) A healthful lifestyle leads to a longer, happier, healthier life. Staying healthy means eating well-balanced diet, getting regular exercise, avoiding things that are bad for the body and mind. Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining good health and preventing many diseases. In spite of all the information available about diets, scientists still believe that good nutrition can be simple. There are several basic rules to follow. Keep fat intake low. Eat foods high in carbohydrates. which are the starches in grains, legumes, (beans, and peas),vegetables, and some fruits. Avoid too much sugar. Limit salt. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. which are high in vitamins. A healthy lifestyle is an active lifestyle. Lack of proper physical exercise can cause tiredness, irritability, and poor general health. Physical fitness requires both aerobic exercise, such as running, bicycle riding , and swimming, and muscle- strengthening exercise, such as weight-- lifting. Finally, good health is acquired saying no to bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and over-eating and by avoiding situations that are constantly stressful. People can take their lives and happiness into their own hands. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the first step. Questions: 01. What are the three kinds of food that you should avoiding having too much of ?

Finish-born botanist William Nylander taught at the university of Hesinkifor a number of years and later moved to Paris, where he lived until his death at the end of the nineteenth century. During the second half of the last century, he became a prominent figure in the field of lichenology. Botanists from all over the world sent samples to his laboratory to be analyzed and classified. It can be said without exaggeration that four of five lichens bear his name. He was the first to realize the importance of using chemical reagents in the taxomony of lichens. He selected the most common reagents used by the chemists of his time. Lichenologists all over the world still use these reagents, including tincture of odine and hypochorite in their laboratories. During the first half of the nienteenth century, a Japanese named Abahima added only one chemical product- Phenol diamines. Nylander was also responsible for discovering that atmosphere of big cities hindered the lichens’s development and cause them to disappear. Now they are used to detect atmospheric pollution. Nevertheless, he considered lichens to be simple plants and vehemently opposed the widely accepted modern theories that lichens are compound species formed by two discordant elements: algae and fungi.

Eventually, poison goes into the blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy? Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay. 1.
