Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money forthe family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not domuch housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends. These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay withthe children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do thelaundry So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husbandand wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. Forexample, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooksdinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child carefrom grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents areoften too far away to help in regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. Thehelp may be babysitter or day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. Itis possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companiesnow let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with theirchildren. Some husbands may even stop working for while to stay with the children. For thesemen there is new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men arebecoming househusbands every year.These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understandtheir children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives mayalso find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have better understanding of each other.Question 29 Sixty years ago, most women__________.A. were housewives B. went out to workC. did not do much housework D. had no childrenQuestion Nowadays, there are__________.A. more work outside the home than beforeB. more and more women staying with the children all dayC. more housewives than beforeD. more women going out to work than beforeQuestion The word laundry in paragraph is closest in meaning to__________.A. cooking and washing up B. tidying up C. washing and ironing D. shoppingQuestion It can be inferred from paragraph that__________.A. all couples with jobs can pay for help from babysitter or day-care centerB. couples with low-paid jobs can’t afford the cost of babysitter or day-care centerC. in the past, grandparents did not help the couples with child careD. grandparents can help care the children in regular wayQuestion 33 The word they in paragraph refers to__________.A. children who spend more time with fathers than mothersB. parents who work part-timeC. husbands who stop working to stay with the childrenD. fathers who spend more time with their childrenQuestion 34 The changes in the American home mentioned in this passage may__________.A. help families B. not change the children at allC. not happen D. cause problems for marriageQuestion 35 This article is about__________.A.

Today it seems more and more likely that the next breakthrough in technology will bebrought about through combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and geneticengineering. This science is the combination of biotechnology. Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is stilldifficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorbmoisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combinationof strength, lightness, and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. Nevertheless,scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in 'growing' material that has many of thecharacteristics of human skin. The next step may well be 'biotech heart and eyes’ which can replacediseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the body, as in the case with organsfrom humans. The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996,the famous science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have cometrue, said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy.Some of these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly thatsooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oiland gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels ofpollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing thatpollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.Question 43: According to the text, the science of the future is likely to be ?A. Nuclear technology. B. Electronics. C. Genetic engineering. D. BiotechnologyQuestion 44: The word These refers to __________.A. diseased organs B. biotech heart and eyesC. human beings D. characteristics of human skinQuestion 45: What does the text say is one of the worst problems caused by the use of coal, gas, andoil ?A. They are so cheap that people waste them.B. They are very bad for the world around us.C. They are no longer as easy to use as they once were.D. They are too expensive for poorer people in many parts of the world.Question 46: According to the text, it may soon be possible __________.© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5A. to make something as good as human skin.B. to take an organ from one human and give it to another human.C. to make useful substitutes for human hearts and eyes.D. to cure certain diseases that damage human organs.Question 47: In 1996, Arthur C. Clarke predicted __________.A. that we may not be able to meet future demand for energyB. that using oil, gas, and coal would lead to very high levels of pollutionC. newer and better ways of using oil, gas, and coalD. new and better ways of heating and lighting homes, offices, and factoriesQuestion 48: The word to meet is synonymous with __________.A. satisfy B. encounter C. turn up D. appearQuestion 49: Which word below can be the best substitute for breakthrough ”?A. exit B. development C. outlet D. openingQuestion 50: Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are __________.A. almost as good as wool C. stronger, lighter, and better than natural materialsB. not as good as natural materials D. almost as strong, light, and flexible as an insect’s body_________THE END_________© Bình THPT Li n, Th ch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang
