Phần 3:
When I injured my back I had to take a break from my running career. I decided to give them the confidence to get out and run.
I decided to start a running club for women in my area because I was annoyed by the attitude of many race organizers. They complain about the lack of women in the sport but also use this as an excuse for not providing separate changing facilities.
I put up posters 40 women, young and old, fit and unfit, joined. All of them were attracted by the idea of losing weight but I don’t think they had really thought about running before. When or if they did, they had a picture of painful training. They didn’t think of chatting and smiling while running in beautiful places, like by a river.
At first they ran for only a minute – now they can run for thirty minutes. They have also learned from other runners about diet and keeping fit in general.
I wanted to do something for women’s running and I have had so much pleasure watching their progress – almost as much as they have had themselves.

A. to describe good running methods.

A. the teaching skills of the writer.
B. the best kinds of places for running.
C. how runners can avoid injuring themselves.
D. the progress made by the women in the club.
3. What is the writer’s opinion of runners she trained?
A. They were too serious.
B. They were difficult to train.
C. They needed encouraging
D. They couldn’t develop their skills.
4. Why did the women join the running club?
A. to help them lose weight.
B. to meet other people.
C.to have a good time.
D. to become top runners.
5. Which of the following would be the best title for the club poster?

Phần 3:
Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection .Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear.
Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we could respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well.

Phần 3:
Every year about two million people visit Mount Rushmore, where the faces of four U.S. Presidents were carved in granite by sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his son, the late Lincoln Borglum. The creation of the Mount Rushmore monument took 14 years-from 1927 to 1941-and nearly a million dollars. There were times when money was difficult to come by and many people were jobless. To move more than 400,000 tons of rock, Borglum hired laid-off workers from the closed-down mines in the Black Hills area. He taught these men to dynamite, drill, carve, and finish the granite as they hanging in midair in his specially devised chairs, which had many safety features. Borglum was proud of the fact that no workers were killed of severely injured during the years of blasting and carving. During the carving, many changes in the original design had to be made to keep the carved heads free of large fissures that were uncovered. However not all the cracks could be avoided, so Borglum concocted a mixture of granite dust, while lead, and linseed oil to fill them.
Every winter, water from melting snows gets into the fissures and expands as it freezes, making the fissures bigger. Consequently, every autumn maintenance work is done to refill the cracks. The repairers swing out in space over a 500-foot drop and fix the monument with the same mixture that Borglum used to preserve this national monument for future generations.

A. designs B. cracks C. heads D. carvings
2. According to the passage, Borglum’s son…
A. is dead B. was a president
C. did maintenance work D. spent a million dollars
3. The men who Borglum hired were…

C. black hills volunteers D. unemployed miners
4. It can be inferred from the passage that…
A. the heads are not as originally planned B. the workers made mistakes when blasting
C. the cracks causes serious injuries D. the designs had large fissures in them
5. Borglum’s mixture for filling cracks was…
A. very expensive B. bought at the Black Hills mines
C. invented by the sculptor himself D. uncovered during carving
