II. READING COMPREHENSION:

ROCK BAND

Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. 'It's better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,’ Ben argued, 'and it'll keep me out of trouble.’ In the end we gave in. ‘All right,’ we said, 'but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play.’

That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport, the other members of Ben's band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.

At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill - after all I didn't expect my parents' generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager - but they do play regularly in local clubs for young people.

Our main worry is that they won't spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn't happened yet. I am always stressing to Ben how important his studies are. But one thing is certain - Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored

3. Why do the band always practise at Ben's house?

A. It is difficult for Ben to move his drums.

B. The neighbours don't mind the noise.

C. Ben's parents enjoy listening

D. They equipment there.

4. What does the writer say about the band members?

A. Their influence on her son worries her

B. Their taste in music is different from hers.

Reading 2 : Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer from the options A, B, C, or D to answer the question below

A Better Life for People with Disabilities

By Khai Tam

Teenagers’ Magazine

Last week the Youth Union leaders interviewed some volunteers working with disabled children. They asked them if attitudes and life for these people have changed. Here are some of their responses.

‘I think there is more support for disabled children now,’ said Kevin, an 11th grader. ‘There are more special facilities and devices designed to enable people with mobility impairments to travel around. There are also new forms of Assistive Technology that can help people with visual and hearing impairments. So, I think the disabled can access more places and participate in more activities.’

Hung, the monitor of Class 10A, added, ‘There are more special schools for children with disabilities, even in developing countries. In addition, there are many schools where disabled and non-disabled students are educated together. This has led to many benefits to both groups and has reduced discrimination towards the disabled.’

Anna, a 12th grader said, ‘My volunteer experience has enabled me to understand disabled children and the support they need. It has made me more confident and helped me to realise the difference I can make to other people's lives. I've also met a lot of talented people with disabilities who have fulfilling jobs, live independently and contribute to the community.’

‘The most important thing is that society's attitudes towards the disabled have changed,’ Anna emphasised. ‘People can now join or watch events for athletes with disabilities such as the Far East and South Pacific Games for the Disabled (the FESPIC Games), the Paralympics, or ASEAN Para Games. Watching these events is inspirational as their achievements are amazing.’ She really likes the FESPIC Games' motto: ‘Overcoming challenges, inspiring others’.

1. Assistive Technology can help people with

A. only visual impairments.

C. only hearing impairments.

B. visual and hearing impairments.

D. speech impairments.

2. The word ‘devices’ in paragraph 2 refers to_______________ .

A. equipment B. methods C. movements D. transportation

3. What can people learn from volunteering?

A. How to use Assistive Technology.

B. How lucky non-disabled people are.

C. How to make disabled people more confident.

D To understand people with impairments and be more confident.

4. According to Anna, what makes us become better people ?

A. independent lives

B. volunteer experience

C. amazing achievements

D. international events for disabled athletes

5. How can disability discrimination be reduced?

A. By not educating disabled students.

B. By educating disabled children with gifted students.

C. By educating disabled and non-disabled students together.

D. By providing more special schools for disabled students.
