PLACES FOR PARTIES
Jack is planning a birthday party with twenty stars from the worlds of sport, music and films. But Jack isn't famous - and the stars aren't real. He's planning a Party for 60 guests at Madame Tussauds, the famous waxworks museum. Jack says he's really excited about the party because Angelina Jolie is waiting for him there.
Sue and Olivia are planning a big family party at a famous landmark: the Tower of London. The venue-called the Pavilion- isn't inside the Tower: it's next to it. There's space for 200 guests to have dinner. One wall of the Pavilion has lots of windows and there are amazing views of the Tower at night.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has varied from one to forty–eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky has joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and halfdollars were produced with sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from A798 on were issued with only thirteen stars–one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the A828 half cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only A2 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error.
Why was a coin produced in 1828 with only twelve stars?
A. There was a change in design policy
B. There were twelve states at the time
C. The mint made a mistake
D. Tennessee had left the Union
C
Tại sao một đồng xu được sản xuất vào năm 1828 lại chỉ có mười hai ngôi sao?
A. Có sự thay đổi trong chính sách thiết kế.
B. Có mười hai tiểu bang vào thời điểm đó.
C. Ủy ban đúc tiền đã mắc lỗi.
D. Tennessee đã rời khỏi Liên minh.
Dẫn chứng: Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the A828 half cent was issued with only twelve stars.”
Tạm dịch: Do sai sót của ủy ban đúc tiền, một trong nhiều loại A828 nửa xu đã được ban hành chỉ với mười hai ngôi sao.
=> Đáp án C
Dịch bài
Các ngôi sao có những tính chất quan trọng trong việc thiết kế nhiều đồng tiền Hoa Kỳ và số lượng của chúng đã biến đổi từ một cho đến bốn mươi tám ngôi sao. Hầu hết các đồng tiền phát hành từ khoảng năm 1799 đến những năm đầu của thế kỷ hai mươi đều được khắc mười ba ngôi sao đại diện cho mười ba thuộc địa ban đầu.
Thật sự kỳ lạ khi những đồng bạc đầu tiên của Mỹ, được phát hành năm 1794, có tới mười lăm ngôi sao bởi vì trong khoảng thời gian đó Vermont và Kentucky đã gia nhập Liên minh.
Vào thời điểm đó rõ ràng là ý định của các quan chức ủy ban đúc tiền là thêm vào một ngôi sao cho mỗi tiểu bang mới. Ví dụ như sau khi Tennessee được sát nhập vào năm 1796, một số loại nửa hào, hào và nửa đô la đã được sản xuất với mười sáu ngôi sao.
Tuy nhiên, khi có thêm nhiều tiểu bang được nhận vào Liên minh, nó nhanh chóng trở nên rõ ràng rằng kế hoạch này sẽ không thực tế và các đồng tiền từ A798 đã được ban hành chỉ với 13 ngôi sao - một một ngôi cho mỗi thuộc địa ban đầu. Do sai sót của ủy ban đúc tiền, một trong nhiều loại A828 nửa xu đã được ban hành chỉ với mười hai ngôi sao. Ngoài ra còn có một loạt các xu lớn chỉ có các ngôi sao A2, nhưng đây là kết quả của một sự tan vỡ và không phải là một lỗi thực sự.
