A Mission to Mars
Have you ever had a dream about traveling to another planet in our solar system? If you have, there is an actual programme that is happening right now, and it hopes to send people to Mars in 2023. Known as the Mars One Mission, it will send a crew of four people on a one-way mission to colonize Mars. Those chosen people will have to be ready to say good-bye to the earth forever, as there will not be a return trip. For the people chosen, they will have to learn to do many different things. First of all, they will be living the rest of their lives with just a handful of other people, so they all must have personalities that allow them to get along. Second, the living quarters that they will have won’t be very spacious, so they will have to deal with that condition as well. If they feel homesick, they will only be able to communicate with people back on the earth via e-mail and videos and audio sent back and forth. However, there won’t be any real-time communication. Even at the speed of light, communication between the earth and Mars takes about 20 minutes.
Whether the Mars One Mission will actually happen is the big question that a lot of people are asking. There is an enormous skepticism in the science community, and Wired magazine gave the mission a miserable score of two out of ten on its probability scale. However, for those who dream to go to Mars, at least they can say there is a possibility that it could happen.
Question 36. Who might like to go on this mission?
A. People who get along with others
B. People with angry personalities
C. People who don’t like to communicate
D. People who get homesick easily
Question 37. What will NOT be spacious?
A. The living quartersB. The magazines
C. The missionD. The spaceship
Question 38. What will NOT happen to the people who go on the Mars One Mission?
A. They will return to the earth
B. They will communicate with people on the earth.
C. They will live in quarters that don’t have a lot of space inside.
D. They will have to live with other people.
Question 39. Which of the following is considered miserable?

Dear John,
How are you? I’m still working on a farm, but fortunately I am going to leave here at the end of winter. Let me tell you why.
We had a terrible time a month ago. Thousands of insects came and ate many of the crops in the fields. The farmer is very worried because he thinks the insects will come again and destroy all the crops. He became so worried that he sold the farm last week, and that is why I have to leave here. Soon I have to look for another job. Do you think you could help me find one? I like working on farms, so if you know anyone who needs a hard worker, please recommend me to them. I know that you are very busy at the moment and that you don’t have much free time. But I really hope you can find time to help me. I don’t know what else to do. If I can’t find a job, I’ll have to go back home and stay with my parents. I know they would be very upset if I did that. They are old and they don’t have much money. They couldn’t support me as well as themselves.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Education system of Vietnam in the past
Because of 1,000 years under the control of China, there were no records which indicated a formal education system in Vietnam. In 939, Emperor Ngo Quyen expelled the Chinese invaders and declared Vietnamese independence. But the first two dynasties, Ngo and Dinh, did not last so long, and were busy with the national defense, so the education was just in pagodas. Ly Cong Uan, the founder king of the Ly dynasty had been educated in a pagoda.
To the Ly dynasty, the fundamental educational system was officially improved. King Ly Thanh Tong established the Temple of Literature at the ancient Capital of Thang Long to encourage people to appreciate the education. In 1075, the first exam was done by the order of King Ly Nhan Tong to select scholars for office and the later year, 1076, the Imperial Academy, the first university in Vietnam’s history, was set up for the education of sons of royalty and other high – ranking officials.There were also many private classes taught by prominent scholars such as Chu Van An, Le Quy Don, Nguyen Binh Khiem, Phung Khac Khoan, Vo Truong Toan... The students would only study literature and ancient history of China, of Viet Nam for entirety of their schooling. Later on, the Public Administration curriculum was finally added to the program. When the Ho Royal family ruled the country, students were taught simple mathematics. From 1918 to 1945, Vietnam’s education programme has adopted the western educational system with three levels: elementary, high school, and college. At all levels, from 1945 the Vietnamese National language is officially used. Students have the opportunity to learn literature, history, philosophy, law, science, math, medicine and as well as other languages.
Question 23. In the past, students mostly learned _____
