What do you think collar number one you are on the air? I? Speaker2 (00:22): Think children should just play sports for fun Competition brings out the worst in people and it's a pity for children to be exposed to this I think kids should be encouraged to be cooperative not competitive They shouldn't have to prove themselves all the time They shouldn't have to be the best their childhood is short enough as it is They'll have plenty of time to compete in their adult lives Speaker3 (00:44): Okay, next caller I disagree with what the last caller said Let me be frank life is all about competition and kids need to learn how to compete early on So they'll be prepared for the real world It's a very important part of a child's development besides if we never let our children experience failure They will never really know how good it feels to succeed is there anything you'd like to respond to collar number one? Speaker2 (01:14): Yes, as our children grow up They'll learn how to compete in life They don't need a head start, but if we are going to expose our children to competition We should at least do it in the right way For example, we need to teach them how to lose a competition without losing their tempers and it's not about being the best But about doing their best Speaker4 (01:34): You both make some good points now Let's see what our studio psychologist Dr Alex Smith has to say on the subject 1 The program is about whether competition is good or bad for children a True b False c We don't know 2 Caller number one thinks that a children should just play sports for fun b children should experience winning and losing so they will be prepared for life c children should compete early on so that they learn how to lose without getting angry d children should take part in races and competitions to win 3 Caller number two thinks that competition shows the bad side of human nature a True b False c We don't know 4 Caller number one thinks that if children are allowed to compete, they should at least be taught how to a have fun b win and be the best c improve their athletic abilities d behave if they lose 5 With which caller does Madeleine Carter agree? a Caller number one b Caller number two c Neither caller d We don't know 6 What word is the opposite of "competitive"? a Aggressive b Fun c Cooperative d Friendly 7 What does caller number one think is a pity? a For children to be exposed to a competitive atmosphere b When children are not taught to be the best c That childhood is short d For children not to be taught how to compete 8 If you had a "head start," you a lost your temper b succeeded c gained an advantage by starting early d were taught something by someone else 9 What would be a good title for this radio program discussion? a Should Children Play for Fun or to Win? b Developing Athletic Ability in Children c Preparing Children for Competition in Life d Teaching Children to Cooperate 10 Caller number two thinks that you won't be able to appreciate success if you never a experience failure b prepare yourself for the real world c learn to be the best d learn to cooperate 1 a True 2 a children should just play sports for fun 3 a True 4 d behave if they lose 5 d We don't know 6 c Cooperative 7 a For children to be exposed to a competitive atmosphere 8 c gained an advantage by starting early 9 a Should Children Play for Fun or to Win? 10 a experience failure Ex3: Answer the questions Speaker2 (00:00): Hello, this is George Mataya We're here with Dr Lee Crosby to talk about the planet Mars Welcome, Dr Crosby Hello, George I'm happy to be here Let's start with some facts Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and Mars is the fourth, right? Correct Speaker3 (00:20): Mars is about half the size of Earth, but both planets have the same land area Speaker2 (00:26): If Mars is half the size of Earth, how can both planets have the same land area? Speaker3 (00:32): Much of Earth is covered by oceans, but Mars doesn't have any oceans It does have two moons, though, called Phobos and Deimos Interesting Speaker2 (00:42): What else can you tell us about Mars? Speaker3 (00:45): Well, a year on Mars is about twice as long as a year on Earth, because Mars takes 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun Do you think people will ever visit Mars? Definitely The first unmanned spacecraft landed on Mars in the 1970s NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, predicts that humans will reach Mars by the year 2040 Speaker2 (01:10): I guess 2040 isn't too long to wait How long will the flight to Mars take? Speaker3 (01:16): With current technology, it's estimated that a manned spacecraft will get to Mars in about 240 days That means a trip to Mars will take about eight months But once the spacecraft arrives, the astronauts will have to deal with survival on a very unfriendly planet This is fascinating Speaker2 (01:35): We'll be back soon to hear about living on Mars 1 Which of the following statements is true? a Earth is the third planet from the Sun b Mars is closer to the Sun than Earth c Phobos is the name of an unmanned spacecraft d A year on Mars is about as long as a year on Earth 2 Mars is bigger than Earth a True b False c We don't know 3 How many oceans are there on Mars? a 0 b 1 c 2 d 3 4 Mars has one moon a True b False c We don't know 5 How long is a year on Mars? a 687 Earth days b About the same as a year on Earth c Less than 365 days d Six Earth years 6 According to the interview, what happened in the 1970s? a NASA was officially created b The first spacecraft landed on Mars c NASA finished building the first spacecraft d Humans first set foot on the Moon 7 What prediction has NASA made? a Life will be discovered on Mars b Humans will be living on Mars in the next 40 years c Astronauts will land on Mars by the year 2040 d The temperature on Mars will increase 8 According to current estimates, how long will a manned trip to Mars take? a Approximately eight months b More than 18 months c About eight years d Scientists don't know yet 9 What does Dr Crosby say the first astronauts on Mars can expect? a They will probably be able to find water b They might not be able to return to Earth c They may feel sick when they first arrive d They will find it difficult to survive there 10 What is George planning to discuss with Dr Crosby after the break? a The cost of a manned flight to Mars b The history of space travel c How astronauts are trained d How humans will live on Mars 1 a Earth is the third planet from the Sun 2 b False 3 a 0 4 b False 5 a 687 Earth days 6 b The first spacecraft landed on Mars 7 c Astronauts will land on Mars by the year 2040 8 a Approximately eight months 9 d They will find it difficult to survive there 10 d How humans will live on Mars Vocabulary Ex1: Điền các từ trong ngoặc() vào chỗ trống” _” John: I have some bad news I've resigned from my job Lisa: Oh no!

At the opening ceremony the city mayor encouraged the public to support the new shelter "We are proud of our record in animal care in this town Highview Shelter will reinforce our public profile and put our town on the map." Highview Shelter will be able to offer shelter to two hundred homeless dogs and cats In addition to the areas for dogs and cats, there is a special area for rabbits and other small animals, and even a field for horses and donkeys The shelter offers many services, including taking care of pets while owners are on vacation, a clinic where sick pets can receive treatment, and a program for high school students that teaches about animal care Highview Shelter is still very much dependent on public support "At the moment we can cover our expenses, but that won't last long We still need the public to make donations," said Summers "And, of course, anybody who wants a pet should come to us first We have lots of wonderful animals looking for loving homes." Members of the public who would like to make a donation to the shelter should contact the secretary during office hours or visit the shelter's website at www.highviewshelter.com 1 Why did the shelter not open until now? a They could not afford to open b The public didn't want a shelter in the town c The building was not completed d There were not enough homeless animals 2 The mayor believes the shelter will be good for the town a True b False c We don't know 3 Which service is not offered at the shelter? a A clinic for the treatment of sick cats and dogs b A program training people to work at the shelter c A boarding service for pets d An educational program for high school students 4 If you take a dog or cat from the shelter as a pet, you have to pay for it a True b False c We don't know 5 Who has paid for the shelter to open? a The mayor b Ordinary people c Private investors d Ellen Summers 6 What did the mayor mean by "put our town on the map"? a Attract investors to the town b Encourage people to move to the town c Attract publicity to the town d Make sure all new maps include the town of Highview 7 What does this article do most? a Give an opinion b Report a local news story c Teach how to do something d Make a complaint 8 When the shelter asks for "donations" they are asking for people to a help take care of the animals b adopt a pet c plan a program for students d give money to the shelter 9 What should a member of the public do if he or she wants to make a donation to the shelter? a Contact Edward Land b Contact the secretary during office hours or go to the shelter's Web site c Contact the manager of the shelter d Contact the secretary after office hours 10 Edward Land is probably a the mayor of Hightown b a novelist c an animal rights activist d a journalist 1 They could not afford to open 2 True 3 A program training people to work at the shelter 4 We don't know 5 Ordinary people 6 Attract publicity to the town 7 Report a local news story 8 Give money to the shelter 9 Contact the secretary during office hours or go to the shelter's Web site 10 a journalist Ex3: Answer the questions Smart Robots Samantha Chung Consider this quote by the world-famous physicist Stephen Hawking: "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race." Science fiction novelists and movie writers seem to agree For many years, their books and films have fascinated us with the threat of intelligent robots and computers taking over the world We have been taught to be fearful and suspicious of artificially intelligent machines But should we? Human errors cause many deaths during surgery each year and might even be one of the leading causes of death Some surgeons think that AI robots could be a solution Presently, robots perform surgical tasks, but a human surgeon controls their mechanical arms However, AI robotic surgeons are being developed to work with human doctors with the goal of eliminating human error from surgery and improving accuracy Perhaps one day, robots will perform surgeries solo, completely eliminating the need for human doctors Another area where human participation may be on the way out is in the driver's seat Google and Tesla are just two of the companies working hard to develop self-driving cars which will "learn" how to drive through experience It probably won't be long before you can sit in the backseat sipping coffee and reading your e-mails while your driverless car takes you to work Have you ever been asked by your bank whether you made a particular credit card purchase? AI technology is used by many credit card companies to identify stolen credit card use Using a card-holder's buying history, AI technology evaluates huge quantities of data in order to recognize patterns and red-flag purchases that seem unusual Then, the credit card company is alerted to possible theft Of course, a real human employee contacts the card-holder to verify the purchase, but the background work is done with AI help Robots and other machines equipped with artificial intelligence have already become part of our daily lives, and their importance will continue to grow in the future Will we be able to control them as they become more skillful, or will Stephen Hawking's warning become a reality? 1 Who was Stephen Hawking? a A well-known movie director b A famous physicist c The inventor of artificial intelligence d An author of science fiction novels 2 According to the first paragraph, what is a possible threat from robots with artificial intelligence? a They might take over the world one day b They might make too many errors c They might beat humans in a race d They might develop more than we want them to 3 How do surgeons currently use robots? a Surgeons use robots to communicate with patients b Robots perform operations alone c Robots keep the operating rooms clean d Surgeons control the robots' arms 4 Which of the following is NOT mentioned?
