IX. Read the text carefully then decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).
Many students listen to music while they are studying, and say that it helps them learn. Many parents and teachers say that music is just distracting, and that students are better studying in silence. Who is right? In a study, some scientists asked three groups of students to listen to a piece of music by Mozart or a relaxation tape for ten minutes, or just sit in silence for ten minutes. The students then did a ‘spatial reasoning’ test (a test about remembering shapes and imagining looking at objects from different directions), and the ones who had listened to the Mozart did better in the test. Taking part in musical activities and learning to play an instrument can improve verbal memory (the ability to remember words). The longer the training lasts, the better the improvement in the memory. So, there’s no excuse to give up the piano lessons!
53. Many students think it’s helpful to listen to music when studying.
54. Teachers say music helps students to better concentrate.
55. The students who had listened to Mozart did better in the spatial reasoning test.

The Mekong River is believed to be formed 17 million years ago. It is the world’s 12th longest river covering 4.345 kilometres from its source in the Tibetan Plateau to the Mekong Delta. Though the Mekong River runs through 6 countries, three-fourths of the drainage area of the Mekong lies within the four countries: Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Viet Nam.
The Mekong River originates from the Sanjianyuang in the Tibetan Plateau, where a national nature reserve has been established. From the Tibetan Plateau, it passes throughTibet’s eastern part to Yunnan’s southeastern section and the Three Parallel Rivers Area. This area is known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Mekong River lies between Salween River on the west and Yangtze River on the east. From this area, the river runs for about 10 kilometers on the border between Myanmar and China before reaching the tripoint of Myanmar, China and Laos. It continues to flow southwestwards along the border of Myanmar and Laos for about 100 kilometres until it gets to a second tripoint known as Golden Triangle belonging to Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. The river then mainly flows through Laos for over 1200 kilometres before crossing Cambodia, where it is joined by the Sap River. To the end of its lower course the Mekong River enters Viet Nam where it is named Cuu Long River and finally empties into the sea through a network of distributaries.
Tạm dịch:
Sông Mekong được cho là hình thành cách đây 17 triệu năm. Đây là con sông dài thứ 12 trên thế giới với chiều dài 4.345 km từ nguồn của nó ở Cao nguyên Tây Tạng đến Đồng bằng sông Cửu Long. Mặc dù sông Mekong chảy qua 6 quốc gia nhưng 3/4 diện tích thoát nước của sông Mekong nằm trong 4 quốc gia: Lào, Thái Lan, Campuchia và Việt Nam.
Sông Mekong bắt nguồn từ Sanjianyuang ở cao nguyên Tây Tạng, nơi đã thành lập khu bảo tồn thiên nhiên quốc gia. Từ cao nguyên Tây Tạng, nó đi qua phần phía đông của Tây Tạng đến phần phía đông nam của Vân Nam và Tam Giang Tịnh Lưu. Khu vực này được biết đến là Di sản Thế giới của UNESCO nơi sông Mekong nằm giữa sông Salween ở phía tây và sông Dương Tử ở phía đông. Từ khu vực này, sông chạy khoảng 10 km trên biên giới Myanmar và Trung Quốc trước khi đến ngã ba Myanmar, Trung Quốc và Lào. Nó tiếp tục chảy theo hướng tây nam dọc theo biên giới Myanmar và Lào khoảng 100 km cho đến khi gặp ngã ba thứ hai được gọi là Tam giác vàng thuộc Lào, Myanmar và Thái Lan. Con sông sau đó chủ yếu chảy qua Lào trong hơn 1200 km trước khi băng qua Campuchia, nơi nó được hợp lưu bởi sông Sáp. Đến cuối dòng hạ lưu, sông Mekong chảy vào Việt Nam nơi nó được đặt tên là sông Cửu Long và cuối cùng đổ ra biển thông qua một mạng lưới các nhánh.
