Read a text about Katie Swan, an excellent tennis player. Choose the option to indicate the best answer to each of the questions.

KATIE SWAN

Many tennis stars learnt how to play tennis when they could run and became professional before 18. Born in Bristol in 1999, Katie Swan was nothing like that. At the age of 7, she had her first tennis lessons just for fun while her family was enjoying their holiday in Portugal. Her parents didn’t want her to get bored, so they hired a tennis coach to teach her how to play. After a week, the coach said that she might become a tennis superstar, but her parents burst into laughter. However, the coach was completely right.

After her holiday, she began practising very hard on the tennis court and managed to study very well. She even made time to play hockey. After a few years, her father’s business made him move to the USA, so Katie started living there with her family. She kept practising tennis in better weather conditions because it was usually sunny, and her skills quickly improved. When she turned 15, she was proud to be number two in the world as a junior player. One year later, she started to play for the British Tennis Team. Unfortunately, too much training caused a serious injury to her back. At the age of 17, she was competing in the Wimbledon Championships when she hurt her foot. The injury made her quit the tournament, so she was in floods of tears.

Katie Swan is now one of the most promising young tennis players in the UK, and lots of tennis players admire her. Even though she’s used to living far away from home, she sometimes feels homesick when staying in a strange hotel. She has a passion for international competitions, and she has won lots of them confidently, but she still gets nervous before an important match.

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.

The benefits of volunteering can be enormous. It’s a great way to meet new friends and sharpen your social skills. It may also boost your self-confidence by giving you a sense of accomplishment. In addition, the training and hands-on experience you gain while volunteering can help you learn new skills, such as communication, public speaking and marketing skills which will be useful for your future career.

There are hundreds of different ways you can help others and make the world a better place. First, you can collect and donate unwanted items. We all have things we don’t need or want anymore – used furniture, ill-fitting clothes, school supplies, old toys or books,… Rather than throwing them away, you can donate them to a charitable organization. Secondly, if you have free time, you can try working for a nonprofit organization. Although this work is unpaid, it’s rewarding. You can also foster an animal shelter or donate money to charitable funds, or you can share your skills by volunteering to teach a class at a community centre.

In Vietnam, every summer, lots of students from secondary schools to colleges and universities take part in Mùa Hè Xanh (Green Summer) or Hoa Phượng Đỏ (Red Phoenix Flower) campaigns.

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.

When firefighters turn up to put out a fire, traditionally people expect them to be men. However, underneath the protective clothing, helmet and visor, there are more and more women. One such woman is Krystyna Krakowski. She became a firefighter in Florida in 2000, when there were very few women to work beside or guide her in the service. She is now not only successful but also recruiting more females into the profession. In September 2020, Ms. Krakowski was one of the five women at Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue who made department history by working an entire shift with no male colleagues. “We are capable of anything. Don’t let anything stop you,” Ms. Krakowski said.

Women in the United States have a long history of fighting fires. During World War II, women fought fires while men fought overseas. At that time, some fire departments were staffed entirely by women. Nowadays, female firefighters account for 4% of professional firefighters nationwide. However, their numbers and influence in the ranks are on the rise. Being a firefighter is a challenging but rewarding job. Firefighters need to wear heavy equipment, use various tools and perform rescue operation. Therefore, they have to be quick thinkers, strong and courageous. They work 24-hour shifts and then get 48 hours off before they repeat the same routine. During their shifts, they respond to calls involving incidents like structure fires, car accidents, medical emergencies and traumatic injuries. They also provide fire safety education and other measures that can help communities prevent accidents or avoid injuries.

A. there were few female colleagues

B. she didn’t have anyone beside her

C. nobody guided her

D. she recruited a lot of female firefighters

32. What was the special event in Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue department in 2020?

A. She recruited a lot of female firefighters.

D. There was an all-female fire rescue crew for the first time.

33. According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?

A. Nowadays, there are more female firefighters than during World War II.

B. 4% of professional firefighters in Florida are women.

C. During World War II, women served as firefighters to replace male firefighters who joined the military.

D. Firefighters work on shifts that can last up to 48 hours.

34. All of the following are requirements to become a firefighter EXCEPT __________.

Read the following passage. Write T if the statement is TRUE, F if the statement is FALSE and NI if there is NO INFORMATION on it.

A gender stereotype is a fixed idea about characteristics that women and men should have. From an early age, parents tend to treat boys and girls differently and encourage children to engage in gender-appropriate play (e.g., boys play with cars; girls play with dolls). Phrases like ‘man up’ or ‘you run like a girl’ are talked to children every day. The media also plays a role in its portrayal of men and women in sex-typed occupations (e.g., men as doctors and women as nurses). As a result, gender stereotypes can influence the decisions of children when they choose their future careers. Young girls tend to go after careers in office work, nursing, teaching, homecare and childcare. Boys are likely to work in the fields of engineering, science, computing or finance. In fact, according to Lifting Limits, in the UK, only 17% of ICT professionals and 12% of construction industry workers are female. In addition, the number of women working in engineering professionals is less than 10%, while registered male nurses make up 11%. Besides, men have experienced negative bias when working in positions that others associate with women. For example, boys are likely to be looked down on when they want to go into a female-dominated career like hairdressing, because they are not considered masculine enough. Although stereotypes can be hard to change, we can do something to help minimize gender bias. We can teach children that they should make a career choice that is suited to their talents, interests and abilities, not one that is restricted by job-gender stereotypes.

26. Evidence of gender stereotypes can be found in many parts of our daily life.

27. Gender stereotypes can influence children’s decisions on choosing their future careers.

28. The number of female ICT professionals accounts for 12%.

29. If boys work in a female-dominated field, they will have lots of pressure.

30. There’s hardly anything that we can do to overcome the gender bias.

Read the following passages. For each of the questions from 31 to 35, write D for Ann Elizabeth Dunwoody, L for Wendy B. Lawrence, and D&L for both.

Nowadays, women around the world are taking up jobs generally considered to be men’s jobs. Here are two women that have broken the barriers of gender bias in the world of work.

Ann Elizabeth Dunwoody is the first woman to earn the rank of four-star general not only in the Army but the entire US armed forces. At the age of five, Dunwoody wanted nothing more than to become a doctor or nurse. During her junior year of college, Dunwoody attended a four-week Army introductory programme. It was then she found her passion for soldiering. Dunwoody once said at her retirement ceremony: “Over the last 38 years, I have had the opportunity to witness women soldiers jump out of airplanes, hike 10 miles, lead men and women, even under the toughest circumstances. Today, what was once a band of brothers has truly become a band of brothers and sisters.”

Wendy B. Lawrence was the first female graduate of the US Naval Academy, the first female naval officer and the first female helicopter pilot to fly into space. “I was 10 years old when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and that was my 'aha' moment as I like to say," said Lawrence. "I looked at Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon and thought that's what I want to do when I grow up: 'I'm gonna be an astronaut and I am gonna fly into space.” After retiring from NASA in 2006, Lawrence has worked at Space Camp in Alabama and the Kennedy Center Visitor Centre, igniting the minds of the young with a passion for science and technology. She once told the reporter: “So I'd say give women an opportunity to try. You might be surprised at what they bring to the table, what they're capable of."

Who …

26. decided her future career after watching the first men walk on the moon? _______
