I. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. ____________________________ Playing football on the beach, samba dancing at night, relaxing with a delicious ice-cold fruit juice in an outdoor café, meeting sociable, hospitable people: this is what I think of when I remember the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. ____________________________ Rio is called "The Marvellous City" for a good reason. It is in an extraordinary location in Guanabara Bay, surrounded by spectacular mountains and by impressive sandy beaches facing south onto the Atlantic. The views almost everywhere in the city are breathtaking. ____________________________ There is something to do in Rio 24/7. In the morning, you can visit the centre with its museums and picturesque, historic churches or go up Mount Christ with Corcovado to see the eye-catching statue of Christ with its stunning views. In the afternoon, you can relax on the beach and watch the world go by or join in a football game with the welcoming, good-natured locals. Or you can go to the striking Maracana Stadium to watch the professionals play. At night, there is music and dancing everywhere. Even if you are not a brilliant samba dancer, you will have an amazing time. ____________________________ Of course, Rio does have problems. There are enormous areas of depressing slums on the hills around the city and violent crime can be a problem, though the situation has improved recently. However, for me Rio is one of the most fascinating places in the world and Cariocas the warmest people, so I cannot wait to go back!

City Life or Country Life? Which place is the better - the city or the country? Two American teenagers talk about where they live. Leo, 16: I live in New York and it’s great. There are huge shopping centres and interesting places to go. My mum loves all the art galleries and museums, but I like Central Park where I go skateboarding. It's big enough to get away from the noise and traffic. The country isn't for me. It isn’t exciting enough for people of my age. Most people don't live close enough to their friends to have enough a good social life. It's too quiet and too boring. City life is the best. Amelie, 14: I live on a ranch in the country, in Colorado. In the summer, we go hiking in the mountains, and in the winter I go snowboarding. I really like it because it's relaxing and quiet. I can’t imagine life in the city. It isn't safe enough to walk around alone and it’s too dangerous to cycle in the streets because of the traffic. Overall, I think the city is too noisy, too dirty, too crowded and too expensive. I prefer country life!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer for each question from 33 to 39.
Most people need some preparation before they are ready for the workforce, and planning should begin long before it is time to start a career.
Many high school students don't yet know what they want to do. High school is a great time to start thinking about careers. Settling on just one occupation in high school isn't necessary, but they should know how to explore careers and put time into investigating them and learning about their skills and interests.
Understanding what you enjoy what you are good at is the first step in exploring careers. It is important to think about what you like to do because work will eventually be a big part of your life. Once you have thought about the subjects and activities you like best, the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use. If you love sports, for example, you might consider a career as a gym teacher, or coach.
Another approach to identifying potential career interests is to consider local employers and the types of jobs they have. There are many jobs in manufacturing and healthcare near the high school. Talking directly to workers can help you get information about what they do. If you don't know workers in occupations that interest you, ask people such as your parents, friends, or teacher for their contacts.
If job shadowing give you taste of what an occupation is like, imagine how helpful getting experience could be. Students can begin getting career-related experiences in high school through internships, employment, and other activities. Completing an internship is an excellent way to get experience. Internships are temporary, supervised assignments designed to give student practical job training.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the way to identify career interests?
A. talking with your parents, friends, or teachers about careers
B. investigating the local employers and the types of jobs they offer
C. studying the subjects and activities you like best
D. having contacts with workers in the sector you are interested in

Chỉ có đáp án A không được đề cập
Chọn A
Dịch bài đọc:
Hầu hết mọi người cần một số chuẩn bị trước khi họ sẵn sàng cho lao động, và kế hoạch nên bắt đầu từ lâu trước khi đến lúc bắt đầu nghề nghiệp.
Nhiều học sinh trung học chưa biết họ muốn làm gì. Trường trung học là một thời gian tuyệt vời để bắt đầu suy nghĩ về nghề nghiệp. Chọn chỉ một nghề nghiệp ở trường trung học là không cần thiết, nhưng họ nên biết cách khám phá nghề nghiệp và dành thời gian để xem xét chúng và tìm hiểu về các kỹ năng và sở thích của họ.
Hiểu những gì bạn thích những gì bạn giỏi là bước đầu tiên để khám phá nghề nghiệp. Điều quan trọng là suy nghĩ về những gì bạn thích làm bởi vì công việc cuối cùng sẽ là một phần lớn trong cuộc sống của bạn. Một khi bạn đã nghĩ về các môn học và hoạt động bạn thích nhất, bước tiếp theo là tìm kiếm nghề nghiệp đưa những sở thích đó vào sử dụng. Ví dụ, nếu bạn yêu thích thể thao, bạn có thể xem xét một nghề nghiệp như một giáo viên thể dục hoặc huấn luyện viên.
Một cách tiếp cận khác để xác định các mối quan tâm nghề nghiệp tiềm năng là xem xét các nhà tuyển dụng địa phương và các loại công việc họ có. Có rất nhiều công việc trong sản xuất và chăm sóc sức khỏe gần trường trung học. Nói chuyện trực tiếp với công nhân có thể giúp bạn có được thông tin về những gì họ làm. Nếu bạn không biết người lao động trong các ngành nghề mà bạn quan tâm, hãy hỏi những người như cha mẹ, bạn bè hoặc giáo viên của bạn để biết địa chỉ liên hệ của họ.
Nếu việc theo dõi công việc mang lại cho bạn cảm giác về nghề nghiệp là như thế nào, hãy tưởng tượng việc có được kinh nghiệm hữu ích như thế nào. Học sinh có thể bắt đầu có được kinh nghiệm liên quan đến nghề nghiệp ở trường trung học thông qua thực tập, việc làm và các hoạt động khác. Hoàn thành thực tập là một cách tuyệt vời để có được kinh nghiệm. Thực tập là tạm thời, bài tập có giám sát được thiết kế để cung cấp cho học sinh đào tạo công việc thực tế.
