IX/ SỰ  HOÀ  HỢP  GIỮA  CHỦ  NGỮ  VÀ  ĐỘNG  TỪ

 (THE AGREEMENT OF A VERB WITH ITS SUBJECT)

            Theo luật chung một động từ bao giờ cũng hòa hợp với chủ ngữ ø  của no ù- tức là – nếu chủ ngữ số ít thì

động từ theo sau cũng ở số ít và ngược lại nếu chủ ngữ øøsố nhiều thì theo sau là động số nhiều. Tuy nhiên, ta hãy

chú ý 10 luật đặc biệt sau:

                    - The boy and the girl love their parents dearly.

- Tom and Mary were late yesterday.

Tuy nhiên, nếu hai chử từ này diễn tả một người, một vật hay một ý tưởng chung thì động từ vẫn ở số ít.

- Bread and butter is my daily breakfast.

- To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness in life.

[2] : Hai chủ ngữ øđược nối với nhau bằng AND mà trước chủ  ngữ ø ø đầù có EACH, EVERY, MANY A, NO thì

động từ phải ở số ít.

- Each boy and  girl has a textbook.

- No teacher and student is present.

 

[3] : Khi hai chủ ngữ ø được nối bởi OR, EITHER… OR, NEITHER…NOR…thì  động từ hoà hợp cùng với

chủ ngữ øgần nó nhất

- He or you are the best student in this class.

- Neither Jack nor I am willing to do that.

[4] : Khi hai chủ ngữ ø đươcï nối bởi AS WELL AS, NO LESS THAN, WITH thì động từ hòa hợp với chủ ngữ ø  

thứ nhất.

- John, as well as you, is responsible for this act.

- Tom, with his friends, is in the car.

[5] : Một  danh từ  tập  hợp ( collective noun ) cần 1 động từ số nhiều khi ta ngụ ý nói tới từng

cá  nhân tạo nên tập hợp ấy,nhưng động từ vẫn  là số ít nếu ta ngụ ý nói chung chung coi cả tập hợp

như một đơn vị 

- The family of this dead soldier is noble.

- The family go to the movies every Sunday morning.

[6] : Khi chủ  ngữ ø là danh từ có hình thức là số nhiều nhưng nghĩa lại là số ít thì động từ chia ở số ít.

- No news is good news.

- Physics is more difficult than chemistry.

            các danh từ th ường gặp như : news, physics, mathematics, politics, gymnastics,

           phonetics, measles, mumps, rickets, the United States, the Philippines…

[7] : Khi chủ ngữ ø ø là danh từ chỉ trọng lượng, đo lường, giá cả hay giá tiền thì được coi là số ít, động từ theo

 sau cũng ở số ít.

                     - Ten thousand dollars is a big sum of money.

- Five hundred miles is a long distance.

[8] : Khi chủ ngữ  là đại từ bất định như : everyone, something, nobody…thì động từ theo sau phải ở số ít 

                    - Nobody has opened the door.

- Is everyone present ?

[9] : Trong câu bắt đầu bằng THERE thì động từ hòa hợp với chủ từ theo sau nó.

                     - There stands a pagoda facing the little lake.

- There were a lot of people at the meeting.

[10] : Động từ có chủ  từ  là đại từ quan hệ  thì  phải  hoà  hợp  cùng  ngôi và  số  với  ti ền  vị  từ  của  đại  từ  ấy 

                      - He works for the factory which makes cars.

- The man who is living near my house teaches us English.

( nờu lờn kết quả).

-Cú 3 loại cõu ĐK :

1. Real conditional sentences ( Type 1).

a. Future possible ( cú thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai ).

      If + S + V (simple present) + S + will/ can/ may/ must...+ V inf.

            eg. If I have time, I will visit you.

c. Command ( câu mệnh lệnh, yêu cầu).

      If + S + V (simple present) + command form.

            eg. Please buy me some fruits if you go to market.

 2. Present unreal conditional sentences ( Type 2 ).

      If + S + V (simple past) + S + would/ should/ could/ might + V inf.

     (Trong MĐ phụ nếu có’To be’thì dùng ‘Were’ cho tất cả các ngôi.)

            eg. If today were Saturday , I could go to the beach .

                  If I had time , I would write you a letter.

3. Past unreal conditional sentences ( Type 3).

                                      If + S + V (past perfect) + S + would/ could/ might + have + PII.

            eg. If I hadnt  lost my way, I would have arrived sooner.

Note:-  Có thể  dùng  đảo ngữ trong câu ĐK loại 2 có Werevà câu ĐK loại 3 để nhấn mạnh

            eg. If I were younger, I would play tennis.

                       - Were I younger,I would play tennis.

- Unless: Trong MĐ điều kiện , ta có thể thay liên từ If bằng Unless( nếu không, trừ phi).   

                         Unless = If........not ..........

             eg. If you dont study hard, you will fail in the exam.

                =Unless you study hard, you will fail in the exam.

·        Khi ta đổi If sang Unless , nếu MĐ If ở thể khẳng định không được đổi sang thể phủ định khi dùng Unless mà phải đổi MĐ chính sang thể ngược lại.

eg. If we had more rain, our crops would grow faster.

    =Unless we had more rain, our crops wouldnt grow faster.

         - Provided ( that) / providing ( that), On condition (that )( với điều kiện là) , As long as, so long as (miễn là, với điều kiện là), Suppose, supposing ( giả sử như ), In case ( trong trường hợp), Even if ( ngay cả khi, dù cho....

dùng để chỉ sự tương phản hay nhấn mạnh), ......... có thể dùng thay cho If trong câu điều kiện.

7. Without ( không có ): eg. Without his books, he would know nothing.

8. Mệnh lệnh cách + and : Do that again and Ill call a policeman.(= If you do..)

9. Clauses after  Wish, If only: (ao ước, giá mà ). Sau Wish và If only thường dùng một MĐ chỉ một điều ao ước, một điều không thật. Có 3 MĐ sau Wish và If only:

a. Future wish: S + wish + S + would/ could + V (bare inf.)

                          ( If only)

In 1964, Chuck and Jean were overjoyed with the birth of their son, Chuck, who brought great joy into their lives. Jean remembered how her mother was always gone so much working after her father died and she did not want that for her son, so she left her job to devote herself to the role of a mother.

My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn"t know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn"t seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off on something very obvious like the other person"s job. Very soon she"s talking as if she"s known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it"s very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too. So don"t keep looking at other things in the room while you"re talking to someone.

Another thing that I"ve noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?” Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.

          A. let people talk about themselves                                   B. let people hear about yourself

          C. talk about politics or religion                                       D. ask people about their secrets

43.    What should you NOT do when you have a conversation with someone?

          A. the other person"s wealth                                             B. the other person"s health

          C. the other person"s daily activities                                  D. the other person"s job

III/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

            The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries.

            If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your fingers at someone is very rude.

            In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom.

            In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in India, whistling in public is considered rude.

            In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means ‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is a rude gesture.

In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The National Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and when they have to take assessment tests. [assessment: đánh giá]

Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they must also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex Education, although they do not take exams in these subjects.

At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually take A (Advanced) levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.

Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To go to university, pupils usually need two or three A levels.

AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature exam.

GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at advanced level) is equal to two A levels.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the word, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available.

A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help.

“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. ""You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don"t like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn"t believe how much less I argued with my sister."

To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really seem to work.

          A. give an opinion about a particular student     B. give an opinion about a special type of education

43. What is the writer"s opinion of Atlantic College?

          A. It doesn"t allow students enough study time. B. Its students are taught to like each other.

          C. It doesn’t give good value for money.           D. Its way of teaching is successful.

44. How has Barbara changed since being at Atlantic College?

          A. She knows a lot about other countries.                          B. She is more confident than her sister now.

          C. She finds it easier to get on with other people.        D. She prefers her new friends to her family.

Choose the option that best completes each of the following sentences.

Computer programmer David Jones earns  £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.

The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David"s firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month.

But David"s biggest headache is what to do with his money.

Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards.

He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.

David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm knew 1 had already written some programs," he said.

"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that"s being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most his spare time is spent working.

"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But 1 had been studying it in books and "magazines for four years in my spare time. 1 knew what 1 wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."

David added: "I would like to earn a million and 1 suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."

41. Why is David different from other young people at his age?

          A. He earns an extremely high salary.                               B. He is not unemployed.

One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are dangerous or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of paint has a harmful effect on painters, but it doesn"t "bother" a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power plants and in undersea research stations that might be dangerous for humans. Already, robots are working in the plastics industry and in chemical and industrial equipment industries. One of the most common uses of robots is still in automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous work. These kinds of industrial robots are not usually "mobile". The work they need to do is brought to them, like cars on an assembly line, for example.

The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s, Japan" led the world in robot production with more than 71,000 industrial robots at work. Both the United States and Japan, as well as other countries, continue to develop more advanced robots. Robots can now be made to perform more complex jobs. Robots can make decisions while they are working and learn from their mistakes. Robots can now see with TV camera "eyes." They can easily hear and can even speak using a voice made by a computer. But it is difficult to make a robot "understand." Thinking. and understanding are very human qualities. The robots of the future will probably be very complex. They will be able to perform many humanlike tasks. Robots and other technology will make the future a very interesting place!

      Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we communicate. Today’s college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality, they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through developments in information technology.

      For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at school is not compulsory. Some of the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit the family schedule. They can log on in early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each student studies online as well as that student’s learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and conditions for each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the student’s needs.

Read the following passage and mark the letterA,B,C,orD on your answer sheet

These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing.Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinema and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.

            But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.

            In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.

            It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You’ll feel more relaxed if you don’t look different from everyone else.

Question 31: Many British people wear freely when they _______________.

            A. attend meetings                     B. attend lectures  C. spend their spare time        D. meet their friends.

Question 32: Who doesn’t usually wear suits and ties?

            A. lawyers                    B. doctors                     C. drivers                      D. accountants

Question 33: If you visit an American friend at home in the evening, you may find that your friend wear _______________.

            A. pretty clothes            B. informal clothes        C. formal clothes           D. plain clothes

Question 34: If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests to you is to wear ________.

            A. strange clothes          B. as the people there do     C. your native clothes           D. comfortable clothes.

Question 35: What do you think the passage is mainly about?

            A. Recent dressing habit in Great Britain and the United States.

            B. The reason why informal clothing is popular in the UK and USA.

            C. When we should wear in a formal way.

            D. Where we should wear in a formal way.

     MANDI’S MAKING FRIENDS

   My name’s Mandi. Three months ago, I went to disco where I met a boy called Tom. I guessed he was older than me, but I liked him and thought it didn’t matter. We danced a couple of times, then we chatted. He said he was 18, then asked how old I was. I told him I was 16. I thought that if I told him my real age, he wouldn’t want to know me, as I’m only 13.

    After the dicso we arranged to meet the following weekend. The next Saturday we went for a burger and had a real laugh. Afterwards he walked me to my street and kissed me goodnight. Things went really well. We see each other a couple of times a week, but I’ve had to lie to my parents about where I’m going and who with. I’ve always got on with them, but I know if they found out how Tom was they’d stop me seeing him.

     Now I really don’t know what to do. I can’t go on lying to my parents every time I go out, and Ton keeps asking he can’t come around to my house. I’m really worried and I need some advice.

     A. to describe her boyfriend              B. to prove how clever she is

   C. to explain a problem                       D. to defend her actions

29) Who is she writing to?

     A. her boyfriend                   B. her parents                C. a teenage magazine               D. a school friend

30) Why is Mandi worried?

     A. She’s been telling lies.                                         B. Tom has been behaving strangely.       

     C. She’s not allowed to go to disco.                           D. Her parents are angry with her.

31) Why can’t Tom come to Mandi’s house?

      A. She doesn’t want her parents to meet him.                        B. Her parents don’t like him.

      C. He’s nervous of meeting her parents.                    D. She doesn’t want him to see where she lives.

32) Which of these answers did Mandi receive?

     A. Tell me what you really feel.                                B. You must start by being honest with everyone.

     C. Everyone’s unfair to you.                                     D. Don’t worry. I’m sure Tom will change his mind.

Dùng với nghĩa bị động. Khi làm bài, cần lưu ý nghĩa của câu là chủ động (V + V-ing) hay bị động (V+being+ V3/ed).

(Khi còn nhỏ, tôi không thích được dẫn đi vườn bách thú.)

SAI: I disliked taking to the zoo when I was a child.

(Khi còn nhỏ, tôi không thích dẫn đi vườn bách thú.)

Câu này SAI vì người đọc không rõ tôi không thích dẫn ai. Trong câu trên, tôi được dẫn (= ai đó dẫn tôi), nghĩa đã rõ ràng.

* LƯU Ý: Sau giới từ (in, on, at, about, for, from, …), vẫn dùng “being”.

PREPARING A DINNER PARTY

     Giving a dinner party is a wonderful way of entertain people. You can also make new friends and give others the chance to get to know each other better.

     It needs planning, though. First, make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of women and men. Don’t invite couples because they aren’t so much fun.

     When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious seasons.

      Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s favourite drinks.

     The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more than enough of everything, and that someone can help you carry it!

     On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas, so they don’t get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have a good time – you’ve earned it!

28) Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the purpose of giving a dinner party?

            A. to entertain people.                           B. to make new friends.

            C. to get people to know more about their host and hostess.

            D. to help people to know each other better.

29) when giving a dinner party, you should NOT invite ........................ .

     A. husbands and wives.                                B. those who are vegetarians.    

     C. both women and men.                              D. those who can’t eat or drink certain things.

30) The menu should include these EXCEPT ..........................

     A. a first course        B. a supper       C. a dessert       D. main courses

31) According to the passage, starters should be served ...........................

     A. because the guests want to have a good time together

     B. because the guests like eating them

     C. because the guests want to eat them while having to wait

     D. because the guests may be hungry while having to wait

32) What should you do while the guests are having their evening meal?

     A. Stand beside the guests without doing anything. 

     B. Sit down with the guests and have a good time.

     C. Sit down with the guests to show your politeness. 

     D. Only serve the guests with the food.

UNIT 4: VOLUNTEER WORK

THEORY:

1. GERUND

A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding “-ing”. The gerund always has the same function as a noun (although it looks like a verb), so it can be used:

a. as the subject of the sentence:

* Reading helps you learn English.

b. as the complement of the verb “to be”:

* Her favorite hobby is reading.

c. after prepositions. The gerund must be used when a verb comes after a preposition:

* She is good at learning E

* They are keen on windsurfing.

This is also true of certain expressions ending in a preposition, e.g. in spite of , there’s no point in ... :

* There’s no point in typing the assignment.

* In spite of missing the train, we arrived on time.

d. after a number of “phrasal verbs” which are composed os a verb + preposition /adverb

Example:

To look forward to, to give up, to be for/ against, to take to, to put off, to keep on:

* I look forward to hearing from you soon. (at the end of a letter)

* He kept on asking for a discount.

e. in compound nouns

Example:

* a driving lesson, a swimming pool, bird-watching, train-spotting

It is clear that the meaning is that of a noun, not of a continuous verb.

Example:

* the pool isn’t swimming, it is pool for swimming in .

f. after the expressions

can’t help, can’t stand, it’s no use, good, and the adjective worth:

* I can’t stand being stuck in traffic jams.

* It’s no use/good trying to persuade him

* It might be worth changing the title of the book.

2. PRESENT PARTICIPLE

The present participle of most verbs has the form V-ing and is used in the following ways:

a) as part of the continuous form of a verb

Example:

* I am working .

* She was dancing.

b) after verbs of movement / position in the pattern: verb + present participle

Example:

* My mother used to go shopping everyday.

* He came running towards me.

This construction is particularly useful with the verb ‘to go’, such as go diving, go fishing, go swimming...

c)After verbs of perception in the pattern : verb + O +present participle

Example:

* I heard someone playing the guitar.

* I can smell something burning!

Note: There is a difference in meaning when such a sentence contains a bare-infinitive rather than a participle. The infinitive refers to a complete action, but the participle refers to an incomplete action, or part of an action.

Compare:

* I heard Mai playing the piano.(= she had started before I heard her, and probably went on afterwards)

* I heard Mai play the piano. (= I heard her complete performance)

d) as an adjective

Example:

* It was an interesting film.

* It’s a bit worrying when the police stop you.

e) with the verbs spend and waste, in thepattern: verb + time/money expression + present participle

Example:

* I spend 2 hours a day travelling to work.

* Don’t waste time playing computer games !

* They’ve spent $4,000 buying that watch.

f) with the verbs catch and find, in the pattern: verb + O + present participle:

With catch, the participle always refers to an action which causes annoyance or anger:

* If I catch you stealing my apples again, I’ll tell your parents.

This is not the case with find, which is unemotional:

* We found our dog lying in the bedroom.

* They found their mother sitting in the garden.

g) to replace a sentence or part of a sentence:

When 2 actions occur at the same time, and are done by the same person or thing, we can use a present participle to describe one of them:

* He sang to himself. He walked down the road.

Singing to himself, he walked down the road.

When one action follows very quickly after another done by the same person or thing, we can express the first action with a present participle:

* He put on his coat and left the house.  Putting on his coat, he left the house.

The present participle can be used instead of a phrase starting as, since, because, and it explains the cause or reason for an action:

* Feeling tired, he went to bed early (= because he felt tired...)

* Knowing that she likes roses, he gave her a bunch of red roses on her birthday.

 

 

3. PERFECT GERUND

- Form: having + p2 (having seen, having worked...)

- Use:

+ The perfect gerund can be used instead of the present form of the gerund when we are referring to a past action.

Example:

He was accused of deserting his ship = He was accused of having deserted his ship.

However, the perfect gerund is used to emphasize completion in both the past and the future.

Example:

The retired teacher recalled having taught.

4. PERFECT PARTICIPLE

- Form: having + p2(having done, having read ...)

- Use:

+ The perfect participle can be used instead of the present participle when one action is immediately followed by another with the same subject.

Example:

Switching off the lights, we went to bed = Having switched off the lights, we went to bed.

+ The perfect participle emphasizes that the first action is complete before the second one starts.

Example:

She bought a bike and cycled home. – Having bought a bike, she cycled home.

+ The perfect participle is, however, necessary when there is an interval of time between the 2 actions.

Example:

Having failed twice , he didn’t want to try again

+ It is also used when the frist action covered a period of time

Example :

He had been living trere for such a long time that the didn’t want to move to another town – Having lived there for such a long time , he didn’t want to move to another town

C. READING: Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.

            Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, many coaches believe that it is possible for anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants do not run a marathon to win. More important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific age group and gender. Another very important goal is to break certain time barries. For example, ambitious recreational first-timers often try to run the marathon under 4 hours; more competitive runners will attempt to run under 3 hours. Many runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which makes them " sub-3:30h marathoners ", instead of 3:30:01.

            For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many coaches believe that the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to reach a maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance. During marathon training, adequate recovery time is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a kreak for a couple of days or more to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to recover from difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at a greater risk of injury.

        A. impossible                      B. easy                              C. not very difficult             D. very difficult

2. One of the important goals in a marathon competition is __________ .

3. In marathon training, the most important is ____________ .

         A. the age                                                                   B. the coaches" belief

         C. the long run                                                            D. the recreation

4. If the marathon runner feels tired or has a pain, _________.

         A. he should continue the training                              B. he should quit running forever

C. READING

Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.

     The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups.

     The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households is single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child.

36) With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?

     A. the traditional American family                 B. The nuclear family.

     C. The ideal family.                                      D. The current American family.

    C. the ideal American is the best structure.

    D. fewer married couples are having children.

38) Who generally constitutes a one-person household?

      A. A single man in his twenties                    B. A single woman in her late sixties

Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem and affection. Friends will welcome each other"s company and exhibit loyalty towards each other. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behaviour, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviours.

Yet, for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis: the tendency to desire what is best for the other, sympathy and empathy, honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults  of one"s counterpart mutual understanding.

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations.

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.

Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.

Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days.

The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the Macy"s Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the streets with large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and went to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters seeking admission to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. As a determined woman, she taught at the school and gave music lessons to earn money for her study. In 1849, after her graduation from medical school, she decided to continue her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to give up the idea.

           After returning to the United States, she realized that it was difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another female doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children.
