It was a Devonshire farmer called Ben Jesty, who lived more than two hundred years ago, who began the development of vaccination as a method of protecting people against many diseases. In 1774 there was a severe outbreak of the disease smallpox in his local village. He already knew of the traditional belief that an attack of cowpox gave people protection against smallpox and he saw proof of this at this time. Two of his farm workers had previously developed cowpox sores on their hands through milking infected cows and had then nursed their own families through the smallpox outbreak without catching the disease themselves. Jesty had already had cowpox, but his wife and their two young children had not. Concerned for their safety, he scratched their arms with a large needle and then put fluid from the cowpox sores on an infected cow into these scratches. Although the Jesty family were criticized by local people who thought that this experiment' was morally wrong, they never caught smallpox . But the real breakthrough came some twenty years later in 1796 when Edward Jenner, an English country doctor, made the first scientific approaches to the subject of protection against disease by vaccination methods. His experiments proved the value of vaccination with material from cowpox sores, and he also found that using material from an infected human on another human produced only a small sore at the spot where the treatment had been carried out and very few other signs of the disease. It was at about this time, too, that the now familiar name 'vaccine' for the material used in the process of 'vaccination' - from the Latin name for cowpox, 'vaccinia' (the Latin 'Vacca' means ‘cow'! -came into use. Tenner's vaccination techniques spread across the world faster than the disease itself. Napoleon had his troops vaccinated and in Russia the first child to be vaccinated was given the name 'Vaccinof'. President Jefferson of the United States said in a letter to Tenner, 'Future nations will know by history only that the terrible disease of smallpox existed and that it has been destroyed by you.' Forward -looking words indeed! In 1980, the World Health Assembly officially declared that smallpox had completely disappeared from the world. Câu56: What important thing did Ben Jesty realize? A. Cows did not catch smallpox. B. There was no difference between cowpox and smallpox. C. Farm workers often caught cowpox. D. people who had had cowpox did not catch smallpox. Câu57: The local people thought that what Jesty did was_____. A. sensible. B. foolish. C. scientific. D. wicked. Câu58: Why did Edward Jenner become famous? A. He started the development of vaccination. B. He proved that vaccination worked. C. He travelled round the world vaccinating people. D. He persuaded most people in Europe to be vaccinated. Câu59: Jenner's techniques were_____. A. adopted very rapidly throughout the world. B. successful in getting rid of smallpox in his lifetime. C. too advanced for people to accept at the time. D. neglected for almost two hundred years. Câu60: Why did the word 'vaccine' come into use? PREPARED BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, HUYỆN LẬP THẠCH, TỈNH VĨNH PHÚC TRANG 4/6 A.

Airline pilots have high social status and earn a great deal of money. Air hostesses have an uncertain status and earn little. For those recently qualified, the basic pay in some airlines is as little as £300 a month, and there are always some who will describe them as 'glorified waitresses in the sky'. This is little to balance against the possibility of a hijack or a disaster. So why do they do it? I went to see Diane Humphreys. Senior Hostess with Dan -Air at Manchester Airport, to try to find the answer to this question. Mrs Humphreys is responsible for all Dan-Air's cabin staff based at the airport and is also involved in their selection. She has had the job for 16 years. Before that she was an ordinary air hostess for six years. One reason why air hostesses don't get over-anxious about flying may be that they're so busy, before, during and after a flight. I asked Mrs Humphreys to tell me what a typical summer timetable for a hostess would be. She said that four or five flights a week during die summer is not uncommon. 'On a Monday morning, a hostess might have an ea rly morning flight; perhaps at 1 a.m. She has to check in 1/2 hours before the flight - maybe at half past five - that might mean leaving home at 4 a.m. Before the flight, hostesses have to prepare the cabin and toilets and make sure that the food and drinks are aboard. Dan-Air don't do long-distance flights, just short or medium distance ones, and so there are no overnight stopovers unless weather conditions prevent take -off or landing, or the plane develops technical problems. There's a 45-minute turn-around interval, when the hostesses have to prepare the plane for the return flight. Depending on where you're flying, this can make it a 12-hour day; with delays it can even be 16 hours. During the flight you've got no time to relax - the safety instructions have to be demonstrated and the food and drinks served. You're always busy. So one day you might have an early morning light; the next an afternoon flight; the day after you might be on relief duty and have to be ready to work if someone else becomes ill or there is an emergency. This means that you have to stay near a phone all the time and be no more than an hour and a half from the airport.' Câu61: In her job Diane Humphreys_____. A. is in charge or Dan-Air's air hostesses world-wide. B. looks after aircrews when they are in Manchester. C. helps with the appointment of Manchester's Dan-Air cabin staff. D. supervises ail Manchester Airport staff. Câu62: In summer Dan-Air's hostesses usually work_____. A. six days a week of 12—16 hours each. B. relief days after night flights. C. alternate days on and off duty. D. completely variable hours each week. Câu63: When can air hostesses relax? A. when the plane is in the air B. never at all C. when the plane has landed D. before a flight takes off Câu64: What does being on relief duty involve? A. remaining near a telephone all the time B. staying at the airport for the day C. preparing for a night flight during the day D. telephoning the airport every 1 1/2 hours PHẦN TỰ LUẬN: (2 điểm) SENTENCE BUILDING: 1.The film star wore dark glasses so that no one would recognize him.

One of the most important social developments that helped to make possible a shift in thinking about the role of public education was the effect of the baby boom of the 1950's and 1960's on the schools. In the PREPARED BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, HUYỆN LẬP THẠCH, TỈNH VĨNH PHÚC TRANG 8/6 1920's, but especially in the Depression conditions of the 1930's, the United States experienced a declining birth rate – every thousand women aged fifteen to forty-four gave birth to about 118 live children in 1920, 89.2 in 1930, 75.8 in 1936, and 80 in 1940. With the growing prosperity brought on by the Second World War and the economic boom that followed it, young people married and established households earlier and began to raise larger families than had their predecessors during the Depression. Birth rates rose to 102 per thousand in 1946, 106.2 in 1950, and 118 in 1955. Although economics was probably the most important determinant, it is not the only explanation for the baby boom. The increased value placed on the idea of the family also helps to explain this rise in birth rates. The baby boomers began streaming into the first grade by the mid- 1940's and became a flood by 1950. The public school system suddenly found itself overtaxed. While the number of schoolchildren rose because of wartime and postwar conditions, these same conditions made the schools even less prepared to cope with the flood. The wartime economy meant that few new schools were built between 1940 and 1945. Moreover, during the war and in the boom times that followed large numbers of teachers left their profession for better-paying jobs elsewhere in the economy. Therefore, in the 1950's and 1960's, the baby boom hit an antiquated and inadequate school system. Consequently, the "custodial rhetoric" of the 1930's and early 1940's no longer made sense; that is, keeping youths aged sixteen and older out of the labor market by keeping them in school could no longer be a high priority for an institution unable to find space and staff to teach younger children aged five to sixteen. With the baby boom, the focus of educators and of laymen interested in education inevitably turned toward the lower grades and back to basic academic skills and discipline. The system no longer had much interest in offering nontraditional, new, and extra services to older youths. Question 51: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The teaching profession during the baby boom B. Birth rates in the United States in the 1930's and 1940 C. The impact of the baby boom on public education D.

TOPIC: Write a letter of request to UCAS to ask for information about the admission requirements to the university. 475/57 Le Thanh Ton St. District 1 Ho Chi Minh City March 15 th , 2008 Dear Sir/Madam, I’ve read a lot about tertiary study in the UK and very impressed by the reputation of many famous universities there. I am writing now to apply for the course and to ask for the admission requirements to the university. Now, I am in the last year of the high school and will finish secondary education in 3 months. I am very much interested in an undergraduate course in economics in Bermingham University. At school I have learnt English for 7 years now, and my English is good enough to communicate with English speaking residents. Moreover, I am rather good at natural science subjects, and I am also very much interested in social activities. My family income is absolutely good enough to pay for my life and study abroad, too. I have good health and am willing ti live on my own. What my family and I want to know now is the detailed admission requirements to the university and the degrees I will be granted after finishing the course. Could you please send me some information about the admission requirements, tuitions fees, accommodation and details of the course? I am ready to supply any information about myself if necessary. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Hoang Thanh Nam.
