When you want to book a flight to a certain place, visit your nearest travel agent. Tell the travel agent the date when you want to travel and the destination to which you want to go. The travel agent will then type the information into a small computer. After checking everything on the computer screen, he/she will send the information to a central computer. The central computer contains all information about bookings and destinations, and sends a reply, showing which are the most suitable flights. It also shows whether the flights are fully booked or not. The information which is now shown on the small computer screen is continually changing as other bookings are made in other parts of the world.
The travel agent now types in your booking, then the computer will ask for your name and address as well as for certain other information. It will also ask how you will pay for your ticket (by cheque or by credit card). Next the computer confirms the booking and makes a request for payment. When you have paid for your ticket, the travel agent types the information into the computer as well. Finally, some computers print out a ticket before you leave the travel agent’s.

QUESTION II. Reading (40 points)
A. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for the following questions:
On the tiny island of Flores, east of Bali and midway between Asia and Australia, the scientists have discovered the remain of a small, hobbit-like species of humans. These people grew no larger than the modern three-year-old child. They lived about 18,000 years ago and are completely different species of human.
[1] This remarkable discovery shows that the human species is more varied and flexible in its ability to adapt than previously thought. These hobbit-like people join a short list of other type of human. [2]
[3] The researchers believe that these hobbits evolved from a normal size, human population that reached Flores around 840,000 years ago. [4] One likely explanation is that, over thousands of years, the species became smaller because the environmental conditions favored a smaller body size. The dwarfing of mammals on islands occurs frequently. Islands limit food supply and predators and species compete for the same environmental space. Survival would depend on minimizing energy requirements.

A. It shows that hobbits may have existed.
B. It shows that human can change a great deal according to the demands of the environment.
C. It shows that humans do not need a lot of different foods.

B. pictures
C. descendants
D. records
4. Which of the following best favors a smaller body size?
A. is small, isolated area where there is a limited food supply
B. a mainland where there is a little competition for survival
C. an environment where there are many predators
D. an island that has a large and varied food supply
5. According to the passage, all of the following can dwarf a species of animal or human except
A. limited land
B. little food
C. few predators
D. a deeply forested area with little sunshine
6. Which of the following is true of the newly discovered species?
A. They are the only human species to live with modern man.
B. They were only as intelligent as a three-year-old child.
C. They moved from island to island.
D. They needed less food than modern human.
7. We learn from the passage that dwarfing has occurred
A. on every continent
B. on other islands as well
C. only on the island discussed in the passage
D. none of the above
8. According to the passage, why does a smaller size help species survive under certain condition?
A. It allows them to consume less food.
B. It makes them more difficult for predators to see.

Larry Walters was a lorry driver, but he had always wanted to fly. After leaving school, he wanted to become an Air Force pilot, but unfortunately, he was turned down because of his poor eyesight. So he had to do with watching others fly the fighter jets that criss - crossed the skies over his backyard. As he sat there in his garden chair, he dreamed about the magic of flying.
1
Then one day, Larry came across an advertisement in the local paper and realized there was a way of making his dreams come true. He went to a specialist store and bought forty - five weather balloons and several tanks of helium. These were not brightly - coloured party balloons, but large spheres measuring more than one metre when fully inflated. His plan was to float lazily into the sky, and spend the afternoon running himself 10m above his girlfriend's garden before eventually coming back down to earth.
2
When he returned home, he attached the balloons to his garden chair, tied the chair to his car, and filled the balloons with helium. Then he packed a few sandwiches and drinks and took his air gun so that he could burst a few balloons when it was time to return to earth.
3
When his preparations were complete, Larry sat in his chair and cut the cord. But he made a mistake in his calculations and things did not turn out quite as he had planned. He did not float up as gently as he had expected: within seconds, he passed the 10m altitude that he had hoped to reach, rising quickly to 30m and then 300m. he climbed and went on climbing until he finally leveled at 3,000m.
4
At that height, he did not want to risk shooting any of the balloons because he was afraid it might unbalance his aircraft and send him, crashing to the ground. So he stayed up there among the clouds, sailing around for fourteen hours desperately trying to come up with a solution to the problem of how to get back to earth.
5
Eventually, many hours later, he drifted into the main approach corridor for Los Angeles International Airport. Fortunately, a Pan Am flight passed him and air traffic control was alerted. The pilot explained that he had just seen an armed man floating in a garden chair at 3,000m just outside the plane. Understandably, the air traffic controller found this difficult to believe, but a few minutes later a Delta Airlines pilot called with the same message. Radar confirmed the existence of an unidentified flying object above the airport and the authorities sent for a Navy helicopter to investigate.
6
As night began to fall, offshore breezes began to blow Larry out to sea, and when the helicopter arrives, the wind from the propeller kept pushing his home - made aircraft further away. Eventually, they hovered several hundred metres above him and managed to drop down a line, with which they were able to pull him gradually back to safety.
7
As soon as Larry hit the ground, he was taken away by the police charged with invading Los Angeles 'International Airport airspace. But as he was being led away in handcuffs, a television reported called out,” Why did you do it?" Larry stopped, looked at the man and explained. "I've been dreaming of flying for years. I just got tired of waiting".
A. No way down F. A bright idea
B. An incredible report G. Heading for the clouds

B. PHẦN TỰ LUẬN
I. READING: Read the text carefully and answer the questions below:
There is no doubt that the environment is in trouble. Factories burn fossil fuels which produce acid rain, and this kills trees. At the same time, greenhouse gases rise into the air and contribute to global warming, which threatens to melt the polar ice cap. Meanwhile farmers clear huge areas of rain forest in places such as the Amazon to produce feeding land for cattle or produce wood for building. Rivers and oceans are so heavily contaminated by industrial waste that it is no longer safe to go swimming. Cars pump out poisonous gases which we all have to breathe in. Poaching and overfishing are killing off millions of animals, including whale, elephants and other endangered species. In fact, all around us, all living things large and small which comprise our finely balanced ecosystem are being systematically destroyed by human greed and thoughtlessness.
There is a lot we can do, however, to prevent this. The easiest thing, of course, is to recycle waste material such as paper and glass so that we can use it again. If you are truly committed to protecting the environment , of course, you should only buy organic fruit and vegetables, safe in the knowledge that they have been naturally cultivated. Finally, we should buy a small car that uses unleaded petrol which is less harmful to the environment or, even better, make more use of public transport.
