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.

Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New York Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle symbolized the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time.

Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and lefthanded. He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. He was a wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him.

Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from Oklahoma. His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the American dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who wins without seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was Mickey Mantle.

But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played without complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank to forget his father’s early death.

It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and accelerated the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life and warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped. Despite a liver transplant operation that had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63.

It can be inferred from the passage that for most Americans ______.

 Bài 1

A farmer's wife spent most of her time wishing for thongs she did not have. She often said,"I wish I was rich" or " I wish I were beautiful" or " I wish I had a handsome husband".
 There fore, one day, some fairies decided to permit her to have three wished . The farmer and his wife talked a long time over what she should wishes for. But the farmer and his wife suddenly became a little angry, and from force of habit she said, " I wish I had some sausages to eat".
 Immediately her plate on the table was full of sausages. Then an argument began because the husband said that his wife had wasted one of their good wishes on such a cheap thing as sausages. The argument grew hotter, and finally the wife said angrily, " I wish the sausages were hanging from your nose". Immediately the sausages flew to her husband's nose and remained there.
 Now, there was only one thing the poor woman could do. She really loved her husband, and so she had to spend her third  wish removing the sausages from her husband's nose.
