   Money is something we all take for granted in our lives. Some of us may wish we had more of it but we all recognize it when we see it, whether in the form of coins, notes or cheques. It is difficult to imagine how people managed without money. In the earliest periods of human history, people used to exchange goods directly. They would exchange things they had plenty of for things that they were in need of. For example, they might offer food for tools. This method of exchange, which is known as “barter”, has many disadvantages. Certain goods may be difficult to carry, they may not last long, or may be impossible to divide into smaller units. It can also be difficult to know the worth of something compared with other goods.

        According to historians, the first money, in the sense we understand it today, consisted of gold coins produced about 2,500 years ago. Gold, being a very precious metal, was a suitable material. The introduction of gold coins was acceptable to everyone and they were still being used at the beginning of this century, although they have now been replaced by paper money and coins made of ordinary metals.

1. In the old days, people exchanged………..

A. what they needed for what they had                     B. food for tools

C. what they had for what they needed                     D. goods for money

2. “barter” is a system of exchange in which ………

A. food is exchanged for tools                                   B. no money is used

C. money is used to buy things                                   D. goods are difficult to carry

3. Direct exchange of goods is ……. because some gods may be too big to carry.

A. advantageous                     B. precious                  C. impossible               D. disadvantages

4. According to historians, the first money was ………

A. made of paper                    B. made of gold          C. made of coins         D. made of 2000 years ago

5. Modern money is made of ……….

A. gold                                                                        B. paper or gold

C. ordinary metals                                                       D. paper or ordinary metals

URBAN TRANSPORT POD

The people living in Milton Keynes, a town about 70 kilometres northwest of London, have been introduced to a new transport experience when they use “pods”( bộ phận nhỏ tách ra từ tàu hỏa) to travel on certain routes.

The pods are a kind of driverless cars which travel at 19km/h and are able to transport two people and their luggage. There is a touchscreen in the windshield( kính chắn gió) of the pods where passengers select their terminal. During the trip they can also read the news, check emails or play video games on the screen. Powered by electric motors, the pods have ultrasonic sensors ( hệ thống cảm ứng siêu âm ) and a GPS (global positioning system) system that help themselves know where they are going and how to avoid obstacles( chướng ngại vật) along the way. People can use a smartphone app( phần mềm của điện thoại) to hail( gọi tầu ) a pod in the street.

Do you think this way of transport will appear in cities in Viet Nam soon ?

Questions:

1. Where is the project introduced ?

2. What can passengers do with the touchscreen ?

3. What enables pods to know where they are going and how to avoid obstacles ?

4. Why should you need the smartphone app for pods ?

Read the following report. Choose from the list A-E the best heading for each paragraph (1-5).

1. _________________

Dortmund is one of the most important cities in the north-western part of Germany. It is close to Essen, Dusseldorf, Cologne and other major cities in the Ruhr and Rhineland area. It used to be a center of the coal mining and steel industries.

2. _________________

Dortmund is famous for its beer. There are five breweries. It also has a theater, a small opera house, a very large sports stadium and a well-known football team. The surrounding countryside is very attractive. In addition, a national garden exhibition takes place there each year.

3. _________________

Dortmund has a wide range of hotels and other accommodation for tourists. Rail connections are particularly good. It also has a small airport with flights to most major German cities.

4. _________________

Although Dortmund is not famous for its cuisine, there are many restaurants there that offer excellent value for money. Local pubs also serve excellent beer and light meals.

5. _________________

I would recommend a stay of one or two days in Dortmund to tourists who are interested in visiting a typical, middle-sized German city.

I. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question:

 Chiang Mai, also sometimes written as “Chiengmai”, is the largest and most culturally significant city in Northern Thailand, and the capital of Chiang Mai Province. It is about 800 kilometers north of Bangkok, among some of the highest mountains in the country. The city stands on the Ping River, a major tributary of the Chao Phraya River. In recent years, Chiang Mai has become an increasingly modern city, although it lacks the cosmopolitan gloss of Bangkok. It has many attractions for the thousands of foreign visitors who come to the city each year. Chiang Mai’s historic strength derived from its important strategic location near a southern branch of the ancient Silk Road, and long before the modern influx of foreign visitors the city served as an important center for handcrafted goods, umbrellas, jewellery particular silver, and woodcarving.

1.     Where is Chiang Mai ? (1)

A. in the east of Thailand                             B. in the south of Thailand

C. in the north of Thailand                            D. in the centre of Thailand
