"Through these questions you try to figure out how many in the apartment" Huy said: "I will ask, are you in the apartment number 1, number 2, ..., No. 63.

Lesson 2. Game together across the bridge. Four people need to cross a bridge. Because of the weak demand, each time we go not more than two people, and because it is dark, we have to take the light. Four people walk differently, crossing the bridge with corresponding time of 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 2 minutes and 1 minute. Since there is only one lamp, each passage must be carried back to the next person. When two people go together, cross the bridge with a slower time. The following example is a way to go: - 10 minutes to go with people 5 minutes to bridge, 10 minutes to take. - 5 minutes to take the lamp back, take 5 minutes. - 5 minutes to go with people 2 minutes through the bridge, It takes 5 minutes. - 2 minutes to take the lamp back, take 2 minutes. - 2 minutes with people 1 minute over the bridge, take 2 minutes. Total time is 10 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 24 minutes. Let's try to get away with a little less time as possible, and if less than 19 minutes is great

Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes each of the following sentences.

   In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The National Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and when they have to take assessment tests. [assessment: đánh giá]

   Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a half GCSE in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they must also be taught Physical Education, Religious Education and Sex Education, although they do not take exams in these subjects.

   At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually take A (Advanced) levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.

   Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To go to university, pupils usually need two or three A levels.

   AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature exam.

   GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at advanced level) is equal to two A levels.

4. Which of the following subjects do pupils NOT take on GNVQ in?

         Students working for their first degree at university are called undergraduates. Then they take their degree we say they graduate, and then they are called graduates.

Many students become members of academic societies and sports clubs and take part in their activities. Between the university terms they have vacations (or holiday periods). Their vacations are long, but of course they can use them to study at home.

According to the passage, the full-time university students have ________ of about 10 weeks in each year.
