Read the text and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

Ha Long Bay is a group of offshore islands that is the best example of marine invaded limestone region in the world. The Bay holds over 1,600 islands and islets. There are caves and grottoes, with stalactites and stalagmites. Its limestone pillars are a unique natural feature of great scenic beauty and biological interest. The great extent and the richness of its forms set it apart from many other sites.

Ha Long Bay is an extremely popular destination both for foreigners and Vietnamese: already in the early 1990s it saw over 1 million visitors a year. It is unlikely that the number has decreased over the years - so there will always be about 3,000 other people in the Bay at the same time as you!

The natural beauty of the Bay lay hidden today under a very common fog. As I had already seen the similar karst landscape in China a couple of years before, I certainly said that I was blown away by the beauty of Ha Long Bay. We went onto one of the islands to visit the Surprising Cave - an indeed surprisingly big and beautiful cave with three hollow chambers. We saw some monkeys here too, just outside the cave exit.

Part of the tour was half an hour of kayaking- enough to paddle a full circle around the main area. The views from the kayak I found much more impressive than from the larger boat: you're so tiny then and the peaks rise sharply in front of you. I had a better look at the water too, and cannot say that I saw pollution by plastic or other junk floating around. There is a thin layer of oil on the water in some parts though.

And then it's time to get back in the bus to Ha Noi, another 3.5 hours. The tour was carried out well with good seafood for lunch and I had a satisfying day.

24. The attraction that Ha Long Bay offer to tourists is ________

A. a large number of islands and islets

B. the largest limestone region in the world

25. The writer was _________

A. able to escape from an explosion in Ha Long Bay 

B. very impressed by the beauty of Ha Long Bay 

C. unable to see Ha Long Bay due to the fog 

D. really frightened of visiting the Surprising Cave

26. All of the following statements are true about Ha Long Bay EXCEPT that _______

A. the writer thought its beauty surpassed many other sites

B. the writer didn't think the number of tourists had decreased over the years

C. the writer saw some monkeys in the chambers of the Surprising Cave 

D. it took three and a half hours to travel from Ha Noi to Ha Long by bus 

27. During half an hour of kayaking, the writer found that _________

A. he was more impressed by the view from the kayak than by that from the boat.

B. the problem of pollution there was serious with plastic or other junk floating around. 

C. he could see the peaks rise sharply in front of him.

D. he could see a thin layer of oil on the water in a full circle around the main area.

28. The word "karst" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______

A. the common landscape found in China suitable for kayaking and boating

B. an irregular limestone region with underground streams, and caves

C. a large number of islands and islets in Viet Nam and China

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunity for on-the-job training and work experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it operates and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.

This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting one of the jobs and vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different times in the year.

Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme are very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational training programme.

It is common for all of us to take more tasks than our desired potential. This can often result in stress and tiredness. Learn the art of sharing work with your partners based on their skills and abilities.

Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need your immediate attention as unimportant tasks can consume much of your precious time. Some tasks need to be completed on that day only while other unimportant tasks could be carried forward to next day. In short, prioritize your tasks to focus on those that are more important.

Carry a planner or notebook with you and list all the tasks that come to your mind. Make a simple "To Do" list before the start of the day, prioritize the tasks, and make sure that they are attainable.
