Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions: Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s King, he says in English, “Check”; when the King has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “Check mate”. These words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means” the king is dead”, that is when the game is over and one player has won. Such an old game changes very slowly. The ruler have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world. 1. Which of the following is known to be true? a. Chess is an old Indian travelling game b. Chess is the oldest game in the world c. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400 d. Chess was played in India long before 900 2. One player has won the game when the other player’s King can not move anywhere. a. he attacks the other player’s King b. he says some Persian words c. the other player’s King can not move anywhere d. he says “check” to the r other player 3. According to the old rules of the game the queen could move no more than one square at a time. a. the queen was the attacked all the time b. the King had to attacked all the time c. the queen could move no more than one square at a time d. the king could not move anywhere 4. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game? a. “Shah mat” c. “the King is dead” b. “check” d. “check mate” 5. Which of the following is NOT correct? a. All kinds of people can play chess. b. only two people can play chess sitting at the same table. c. Some people write each other playing chess. d. The Russians lost the game player by radio. III.

COMPOSITION Smoking damages our health (Smoking is harmful to our health) (Việc hút thuốc có hại đến sức khoẻ của chúng ta) Over the last thirty years, thanks to the efforts of various branches of science and technology, research has proved that smoking damages health and shortens man’s life-span. According to a diagram released by the World’s Health Organization (WHO), the number of people who die of diseases connected to smoking is increasing more and more. The more science and technology learn, the more damage caused by smoking is discovered. Therefore, it seems that we can never put a final stop to the list of harm caused by smoking. First of all, smoking brings about the decline of our memory because each cigarette we smoke destroys 15,000 cerebral cells. Smoking is considered the number one cause of cardio-vascular trouble, pneumonia, lung cancer etc … The main offending agents are carbon monoxide and nicotine in the smoke. These cancer – causing agents are also the ones which cause pharyngeal cancer. The toxic effects of smoke make the smoker’s voice hoarse. Additionally, the visible effect is that the tobacco or opium tar sticks to the teeth, and causes them to become dark or dirty-yellow, diminishing our good looks and charm. In conclusion, I would like to quote our well-known scholar “Le Quy Don” as saying some hundred years ago that smoking was like taking a toxic drug, the smoke of which wasted our health and diminished our life-span; yet, few people heeded his sage advice.
