Martin Luther King Jr. is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among them is
his moving "I Have A Dream" speech. But fewer people know much about King's childhood. M.L. as he was called, was
born in 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia at the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L's grandfather, the Reverend Williams,
purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before M.L. was born. The Reverend Williams, an
eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community since so many people's lives centered around the church.
He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations dedicated to the
education and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew up in this atmosphere with his home being used as a community
gathering place and was, no doubt, influenced by it.
M.L.'s childhood was not especially eventful. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He was the
second of three children, and he attended all-black schools in a black neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor,
however, Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighborhood that had come to symbolize
achievement for Atlanta's black people. It was an area of banks, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors,
lawyers, and other black owners, black-operated businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlanta's segregation, the
district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial
prejudice that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites.

Carbohydrates, which are sugars, are an essential part of a healthy diet. They provide the main source of energy for
the body and they also function to flavor and sweeten foods. Carbohydrates range from simple sugars like glucose to
complex sugars such as amylase and amylopectin. Nutritionists estimate that carbohydrates should make up about one
fourth of a person's diet. This translates to 75-100 grams of carbohydrates per day.

A diet which is deficient in carbohydrates can have an adverse effect on a person's health. When the body lacks a
sufficient amount of carbohydrates, it must then use its protein supplies for energy, a process called gluconeogenesis.

Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one.
In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of
communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors
are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England,
there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of
such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile
phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one
case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple
tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a

day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his
employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can
detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation,
but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your
regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones
can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that
says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends
with them or that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem. For
instance, people give out body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people
- 2013
trang: 9

10. Trung tâm Luyện thi Đại học CLC QSC-45
about your mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel
that you are being defensive. Holding your head to one side shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture
indicates that you are self-confident. All this affects the way you feel about someone.
Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something as simple as the
fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your feelings about a stranger could be
influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child. Since even a single word
can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States
have started to face harder times. Only Harvard MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent
years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving
- 2013
trang: 13

14. Trung tâm Luyện thi Đại học CLC QSC-45
Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000 and the trend of lower
enrollment rates is expected to continue.
There are two factors causing this decrease in students' seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of
four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial
districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with
Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the
question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?", the second major factor has
been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are
changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.

71-80. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot
must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of
approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving.
The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds
against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead
of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out
a short burst of radiation waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By
determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance
between the radar set and other objects. The word "radar", in fact, gets its name from the term "radio detection and

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of
international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many
elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the
most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as two centuries, English began to spread around the
globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of
English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English
gradually became the primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two - thirds of the
world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international
airports, and air traffic controllers - Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of

Many people are unaware of how pesticides affect our food supplies. Health risks are the inevitable result.
Pesticides can run off into nearby streams, where they are carried from their original dispersal site. This is how pesticides
end up in drinking water, fish and game. And because of wind, rain, and evaporation, residues routinely show up in
animals in the remotest parts of the world. For example, if grain fields on rough lands are sprayed with pesticides, residue
can show up in poultry, eggs, milk, and butter. The end result is that every food we eat carries pesticides as the inevitable
consequence of spraying crops with these poisons. And human exposure doesn’t even end there residue are transferred
from mother to child through the placenta and mother’s milk.
66. The main idea of this paragraph is that
A. pesticides pose great danger to human life.
