Most young couples have meals regularly in their parents’ home with little or no pay, and give their children to the care of old couples free of charge. Investigations have shown that parents of many young couples don’t mind providing meals and caring for their children. However, this practice should not become an accepted social custom. The old couples’ expense on food has already increased while young couples spend more on clothing and furnishing and less on food. If this trend continuous, many young couples might take this privileges for granted and become more dependent. It is not right for young couples to make use of the old couples’ love, not only because our nation is wellknown for its special respect paid to the elderly, but also because the young must become independent. What young people should do is to become more considerate towards their old parents. After long years of hard work, they are worthy of such consideration. 36. Most married young couples ______________ . A. live with their parents B. have meals in their parents’ home from time to time C. have not become independent completely D. pay no respect to the elderly 37. The writer thinks it is ___________ for old couples to provide meals or care their married children. A. wrong B. an accepted social custom C. right D. understandable 38. According to the passage, young couples should _______. A. spend less on clothing or furniture and more food B. look after their children themselves C. be less demanding and more caring towards their old parents D. pay for the meals they have in their parents’ home 39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. What troubles young people most is that no one will look after their children except their own parents. B. The reason why young couples depend on their parents to different degrees is that their income is smaller. C. Old couples should give money to their children instead of providing meals or caring for them. D. It would be natural that if young couples went on depending on their old parents they would have to provide meals and care for their children when they get married. 40. This article is particularly written for ________. A. old couples B. both young and old couples C. young couples D. young couples’ children Passage 2. Today our knowledge of food and what it does for our bodies is far more advanced than that of the ancients. Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our bodies. There are on the market all kinds of vitamin pills which one can take to make up for one’s lack of certain important things which are needed for normal health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our bodies without these pills and so there no need to take any kinds of vitamin pills unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something which can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our bodies, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay no attention to others, we may have too much of one kind of chemical substances and not enough of others. Then, we may be in trouble. We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary protein. That is only partly true, for proteins are not only found in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any. 41. According to the passage, we now know _______________. A. more and more about food and health B. what food is fit to eat C. how many kinds of vitamins there are D. more about the growth of our bodies 42. People take certain vitamin pills when they ______________. A. find their bodies are short of something B. want to eat well and properly C. want to cure some diseases D. think certain foods don’t agree with them 43. The writer thinks we should _____________. A. be careful in choosing food B. eat special food B. have limited food D. have balanced food 44. According to the passage, to get proteins, we must eat _________. A. more meat B. only vegetables C. both meat and vegetables D. food and vitamin pills 45. The main topic of the passage is ____________. A. food and health B. vitamins and proteins C. meat, vegetables and proteins D. food and vitamin pills 6. Khoanh tròn sự lựa chọn (A, B, C hoặc D) phù hợp nhất để điền vào chỗ trống.
