1. Read the reviews. Which song has great singers? Which song belongs to Việt Nam?

(Đọc các nhận xét. Bài hát nào có các ca sĩ nổi tiếng? Bài hát nào của Việt Nam?)

THE REVIEW SITE

Title / Band: We are the world by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie

Reviewer: Mia ★★★★

We are the world raised more than $60 million for African famine victims in 1985. Jackson wrote it with Lionel Richie for weeks. Many famous singers joined this music video. They showed their compassion, sympathy and humanity. I like Michael Jackson's songs a lot. His songs have usually got good melodies and the lyrics are really interesting. For me, this song is the best of his.

Title / Band: Trống cơm (Vietnamese folk song)

Reviewer: Paul ★★★★

Trống cơm is a folk song from the Red River Delta. Foreign tourists like the song very much when they visit Việt Nam. Do not pay attention to its lyrics because the beats are more important. If you like dancing, you will love this. I often dance to it cheerfully. It sounds happy.

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 1 to 7.

The election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency in 1928 marked the political ascendancy of the “common man” in American politics. Whereas all previous presidents had been Easterners from well-to-do families, Jackson was a self-made man of modest wealth from the West. Born in 1767, Jackson fought in the American Revolution, in which many of his relatives died. Afterwards, he studied law and moved to the Western District of North California. When that territory became the state of Tennessee, Jackson was elected the state’s first congressman. His name became a household word during the war of 1812, when, as a U.S Army major general, he led troops against the Creek Indians in the Mississippi Territory and later defeated the British at New Orleans.

After his presidential inauguration, Jackson rode on horseback to the White House to attend a private party. Crowds of well-wishers suddenly appeared at the reception and nearly destroyed the White House as they tried to glimpse the new president. The common man had made a dramatic entrance onto the national political scene.

Jackson’s two terms moved American society toward truer democracy. Many states abandoned property requirements for voting. Elected officials began to act more truly as representatives of the people than as their leaders. As president of the common man, Jackson waged a war against the Bank of the United States, vetoing the bill that re-chartered the institution, declaring it a dangerous monopoly that profited the wealthy few.

Although he had built his reputation as an Indian fighter during the War of 1812, Jackson was not an Indian hater. He adopted what was at the time considered an enlightened solution to the Indian problem-removal. Many tribes submitted peacefully to being moved to the West. Others were marched by force to the Indian Territory, under brutal conditions, along what the Cherokees called the Trail of Tears.

One of Andrew Jackson’s most enduring legacies was the Democratic Party, which under him became a highly organized political party. In opposition to the Democrats were the Whigs, a party that attracted supporters of the Bank of the United States and opposed the tyranny of the man called “King Andrew”. A less specific but more basic legacy is the populist philosophy of politics that still bears the name “Jacksonian Democracy.”

Which of the following could NOT be inferred about Andrew Jackson?

A. He served his country throughout his life

B. He supported democratic reforms

C. He inspired populist politics

D. He was president during a violent war
