Most people need more than seven hours' sleep a night, and teenagers might need nine hours. Research shows that if you sleep for four to five hours, you get more (35)___ (like coughs and colds) than if you sleep for at least seven hours.

A. which B. who C. whom D. when Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39- 43 Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be 60 and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the two-child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years. But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the government loosened the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per cent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions. Question 39: The best title for this passage could be A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
  4. Question 40: Which statement is probably TRUE according to the paragraph 1? A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population. B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded. C. The government has set out a law to decrease the retirement age for employees. D. In 15-17 years, our economy will need a large labor force to integrate with global economy. Question 41: The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ___? A. two-child policy B. aging population C. retirement age D. economic integration Question 42: In the 2rd paragraph, the writer suggests that ___. A. The Ministry of Labor has applied raising the retirement age in May 2017. B. Raising the retirement age can reduce job opportunities for younger generations. C. The elderly whose age is 50 would be dangerous if they continued to work D. Raising the retirement age and stopping two-child policy can be long-term and effective solutions. Question 43: The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ___. A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-term Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50. The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization. A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family. The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization. The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage. Anthropologically, the term "extended family' refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term "extended family" is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group. Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons. During the 20h century, average income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the American population. Question 44. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. The dominance of nuclear families over extended ones B. The dominance of extended families over nuclear ones C. A distinction between nuclear families and extended ones D. The changes of family types over times Question 45. The word "the latter" in paragraph 1 refers to ___. A. family unit B. relatives C. the nuclear family D.the extended family Question 46 The word "patriarchal" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___. A. ruled or controlled by men B. equal for both men and women C. simple with no rules and laws D. modern with advanced facilities Question 47. According to the passage, single-parent households ___. A. are not defined by anthropologists B. are the existing trend of family arrangement C. are included in the term "nuclear family" D. are on the decrease Question 48. The word "viable" in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by ___.
  5. A. impossible B. possible C. explainable D. fashionable Question 49 . Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Since the 20th century, more and more American couples have lived in extended families because of the financial burdens. B. Nuclear families are the most basic form of social organization all over the world. C. The popularity of nuclear families in western countries helps to stabilize family arrangement. D. Traditional nuclear families have changed a lot over times. Question 50. What can be inferred from the reading passage? A. Indigenous communities have been completely eradicated all over the world. B. In the future, all extended families will be replaced by nuclear ones. C. Anthropology is a science concerning human race and its development. D. Couples with no children can't be defined as families.
