II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question. (2.0 
pts) 
 Getting good results in your studies come from developing good study habits. 
The best place to study is a comfortable room with good lighting. The best chair for 
studying should be one which you would be comfortable in, but not so comfortable 
that you may fall asleep in it after a while. Before you study, look for a quiet 
environment with no distractions. If you find your home too noisy for studying, try 
the library or community center instead. 
 When you study, set realistic goals for yourself to achieve. For example, do not 
try to study five chapters of Geography in one sitting when you know that you take 
more than an hour to read one chapter. Furthermore, remember not to push yourself 
too hard. When you have studied for a period of time, reward yourself by taking a 
short break. You could perhaps take a short walk or listen to some music for a while. 
 If you begin to feel sleepy when studying, do not force yourself to go on as you 
may lose your power on concentration. Instead, you may want to take a short nap to 
refresh yourself. Studying may also be strenuous on the eyes. When you study, it may 
be good idea to lift your eyes away from your books occasionally. Looking at objects 
at a distance or at greenery can help soothe tired eyes. 
1. The first thing to be considered in developing good study habits is _______. 
 A. your ability to study well 
 B. the best chair to sit for studying 
 C. environment for studying 
 D. your attitude towards good study at home 
 Trang 3 
 2. When studying, you’d better _______. 
 A. learn as much as you want in one sitting 
 B. learn either sitting at the table or standing 
 C. take a short break after every chapter 
 D. set goals that you are reachable for you 
3. Taking a short nap is necessary when _______. 
 A. you feel sleepy and can not concentrate on studying 
 B. your eyes become red after studying 
 C. you can not lift your eyes away from your books 
 D. you want to go on after getting your concentration. 
4. The best title for the passage may be _______. 
 A. How to use your study time efficiently 
 B. How to build up good study habits 
 C. How to get relaxed when studying 
 D. How to avoid sleepiness when studying 
III. Read the passage and answer the questions: (1.0 pt) 
 Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, in 1847. His family moved to Port 
Huron, Michigan, when he was seven years old. Surprisingly, he attended school for 
only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas 
was mostly self- educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a 
young age. Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. 
Although the electric light was the most useful, it was not his only invention. He also 
invented the record player, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. 
About every two weeks he created something new. He worked 16 out of every 24 
hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and 
eat. Thomas Edison died in 1931, in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous 
inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world. 
 Questions 
1. How did Thomas Edison light up the world? 
 _________________________________________________________ 
2. Was Thomas Edison mostly self-educated? 
 _________________________________________________________ 
3. At what age did Thomas Edison die? 
 _________________________________________________________ 
4. How often did Thomas Edison create something new?
