                                                                                               LIFE IN THE CITY

Life in the city is full of activity . Early in the morning hundreds of people rush out of their homes in the manner ants do when their nest is broken . Soon the streets are full of traffic . Shops and offices opens , students flock to their schools and the day's work begins . The city house throb with activity , and it is full of noise . Hundreds of sight - seers tourists ang others visit many places of interst in the city while businessmen from various parts of the world arrive to transact business.

Then towards evening , the offices and day schools begin to close.

Many of the shops too close. There is now a rush for buses and other means of transport . Everyone seems to be in a hurry to reach home . As a result of this rush , many accidents occur . One who has not been to the city before finds it hard to move about at this time . Soon , however , there is almost no activity in several parts of the city . There parts are usually the business centres. 

With the coming of night , another kind of activity begins . The streets are now full of colourful lights . The air is cooler and life becomes more leisurely . People now seek entertainment . Many visit the cinemas , parks and clubs , while others remain indoors to watch television or listen to the radio . Some visit friends and relatives and some spend their time reading books and magazines . Those who are interereted in politics discuss the latest political developments . At the same time , hundreds of crimes are committed . Thieves and robbers who wait for the coming of night become active , and misfortune descends upon many . For the greed of a few , many are killed , and some live in constant fear . To bring criminals to justice , the officers of the law are always on the move . 

Workers and others who seek advancement in their careers attend educational institutions which are open till late in the night . Hundreds of them sit for various examinations every year . The facilities and opportunities that the people in the city have to further their studies increase their knowledge of human affairs are indeed many . As a result the people of the city are usually better informed than those of the village , where ever a newspaper is sometimes difficult to get . 

The city could , therefore , be described as a place of ceaseless activty . Here , the drama of life is enacted every day .

DỊCH : 

                                                                                  Cuộc sống ở thành thị 

Cuộc sống ở thành thị rất nhộn nhịp . Từ tờ mờ sáng hàng trăm người ùa ra khỏi hà như đàn kiến vỡ tổ . Chẳng bao lâu sau đường phố đông nghẹt xe cộ . Các cửa hàng và văn phòng mở cửa . Học sinh hối hả cắp sách đến trường và một ngày làm việc bắt đầu . Giờ đây thành phố hoạt động nhộn nhịp và đầy ắp tiếng huyên náo . Hàng trăm người ngoạn cảnh , du khách và nhiều người khác viếng thăm những thắng cảnh của thành phố trong khi các doanh nhân từ nhiều nơi trên thế giới đến trao đổi công việc làm ăn . 

Trời về chiều , những văn phòng và trường học bắt đầu đóng cửa . Nhiều cửa hàng cũng đóng cửa . Lúc này diễn ra một cuộc đổ xô đón xe buýt và các phương tiện vận chuyển khác . Dường như mọi người đều vội vã về nhà .

Kết quả của sự vội vã này là nhiều tai nạn xảy ra . Những ai chưa từng đến thành phố cảm thấy khó mà đi lại vào giờ này . Tuy vậy , không bao lâu sau một số khu vực của thành phố như ngừng hoạt động . Những nơi này thường là các trung tâm kinh doanh . 

Đêm xuống , một hình thức hoạt động khác lại bắt đầu . Đường phố tràn ngập ánh đèn màu . Bầu không khí dịu xuống và cuộc sống trở nên thư thả hơn . Giờ đây người ta tìm đến những thú vui giải trí . Nhiều người đến rạp chiếu bóng , công viên và câu lạc bộ , trong khi những người khác 08owr nhà xem ti vi và nghe đài phát thanh . Có người đi thăm bạn bè và bà con . Có người dành thì giờ đọc sách và tạp chí . Những người quan tâm đến chính trị bàn luận về những sự kiện chính trị nóng hổi . Cũng trong thời gian này , hàng trăm vụ trộm cướp diễn ra . Trộm cướp chờ đêm xuống để hoạt động , và vận rủi sẽ ập xuống nhiều người . Chỉ vì lòng tham cuat một số ít người mà nhiều người đã bị giết , và nhiều người khác phải sống trong cảnh sợ hãi triền miên . Để đưa tội phạm ra trước công lý , các viên chức luật pháp luôn luôn sẵn sàng hành động . 

Người lao động và những người muốn tiến triển trên con đường công danh sự nghiệp của mình thì tham gia các lớp học ban đêm . Mỗi năm có hàng trăm người trong số họ tham dự vào nhiều kỳ thi khác nhau . Các phươnn tiện và cơ hội dành cho người dân thành thị để mở rộng học hỏi và gia tăng kiến thức nhân sinh thực sự phong phú . Do đó người dân ở thành phố luôn nắm bắt thông tin nhanh hơn người dân vùng nông thôn , nơi mà có khi ngay đến một tờ báo cũng khó kiếm . 

Tóm lại thành thị có thể nói là nơi của những hoạt động không ngừng nghỉ . Chính tại đây , vở kịch cuộc đời tái diễn mỗi ngày .

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 36 to 42.

Imagine the busy streets of New York City, an enormous place with millions of people. Every day, the streets are congested with people going about their daily lives. Now imagine a small robot in the middle of all of those people rolling down a busy sidewalk. Most people would not even notice the teninch smiling robot, called a Tweenbot, rolling along the street. This strange machine may interest some people, while others would ignore it completely. A researcher interested in studying how helpful people really are uses such robots in her experiments that take place on the streets of New York. 

The Tweenbots experiment is the idea and creation of Kacie Kinzer. Kinzer’s idea was to make a robot that could navigate the city and reach its destination only if it was aided by pedestrians. Tweenbots rely on the kindness of warm-hearted strangers. Made simply of cardboard, wheels, and a device to turn the wheels, the Tweenbots face many dangers on the city streets. They could be run over by cars or smashed by careless kids. Kinzer thought her little robots might even be seen as some kind of terrorist device. The only real protection a Tweenbot has is its friendly smile. In addition to that, each of Kinzer’s robots is fitted with a flag that displays instructions for the robot’s destination. The only way these robots will reach their final point is if someone lends them a hand. Tweenbots are essentially a social experiment aimed at providing people a chance to show how caring they are. 

On a daily basis, people in New York City are often in a hurry to get around. However, the Tweenbots, through their inability to look after themselves, took people out of their normal routines. The people who noticed the helpless little robots were actually interested in helping the Tweenbots find their way home. Tweenbots move at a constant speed and can only go in a straight line. If one was to get stuck, or was going in the wrong direction, it would be up to strangers to free it or turn it in the right direction. Surprisingly, no Tweenbot was lost or damaged, and each one arrived at its target in good condition. In fact, most people treated the robot in a gentle manner, and some even treated it as though it were a small living being.  

Even if you were in a rush to go somewhere, would you stop and help a Tweenbot successfully reach its destination?

The word "is fitted with" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________________.

A. is armed with 

B. is embedded with     

C. is supplied with   

D. is assembled with
