All planes need
air to presure under their wings to stay
up in the air. As they move forward. The higher air pressure underneath their
wings pushes them upward and gives them lift.
The smooth,
streamlined shape of the plane allows the air to flows easily over its surface.
This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and
allows it to move rapidly through the air.
Planes move
forward using engines. This movement is called thrust. Moving forward keeps a
stream of moving air passing over the wings. If the engines fail, theplanes
will begin to descend very quickly.
The air above
the wing moves faster, so it is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing. The air under the wing moves more slowly and
is slightly squashed, so it is at a higher pressure than the air above the wing

Text 7 (For questions 38 - 41 )
Students’ cheating is one of the biggest problems faced by teachers
nowadays.
Despite the fact that
teachers advise their students not to do dishonest acts during tests, some
students still do cheating. There are many kinds of cheating that students do
during the test or examination, such as looking other students’ work, put some
notes under their clothes, write notes or formulas on their desks, make hand
signals or go to rest rooms to get the answers from their friends
In my view, students who do
cheating are committing a crime. It is a sort of taking something illegally. This
crime causes negative results to the students. Students who always cheat
deteriorate their mental capacity. Cheating acts also create dependence. They
weaken their self confidence. Instead of preparing for the coming test, they
are busy to organize notes on a piece of paper. If this awful habit continues,
the students will lose their opportunity to develop their intellectual and
mind.
Therefore, school should
consider cheating as a very serious problem. School board and administration
should go hand in hand to overcome this matter. Honesty must be put in school’s
vision. Harsh punishment must be applied
to students who commit this crime.
38. What is
mainly discussed in the text?
- School policy.
- Harsh punishment.
- Cheating as a crime.
- Mental deterioration.
- Different ways of cheating.
39. What will the school do to eliminate students who commit cheating?
- Create a good vision.
- Select honest students.
- Make harsh punishment
- Make students confident
- Administer the school affair
40. ‘Students who always cheat deteriorate
their mental capacity.’ (Paragraph 3)
The underlined word
means ….
- Support
- Worsen
- Cause
- Create
- Find
41. ‘They
weaken their self confidence.’ (Paragraph 3)
What does ‘they’ refer to?
- Tests
- Papers
- Results
- Students
- Cheatings

2012 Film Review
2012 is Roland Emmerich’s film which
uses the Mayan calendar and other end-of-days prophecies for their doomsday
scenario. It imagines the world coming to an end in 2012.
2012 film brings
off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early on. It starts when
Cusack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as freeways and
skyscrapers crumble all around him from the shock of a 10.5 earthquake. The
preposterous flying sequence is equally thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the
giant ark, when an equipment malfunction almost threatens the entire mission.
Unfortunately,
the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited with the requisite clarity. In
2012 film, Emmerich leaves us befuddled as to exactly what is happening to
whom. However, Emmerich’ 2012 deserves credit for offbeat casting. Cusack
supplies his trademark hangdog charm. McCarthy has perhaps his best role ever
as Peet’s cocky. Danny Glover lends dignity to the role of the tormented
president. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as the chief scientist, brings a moving sense of
anguish to a stock role. Platt has fun playing the villain of the piece, and
Woody Harrelson also chews the scenery as a bug-eyed radio prophet trying to
warn his listeners about Armageddon.
All in one,
2012′s cinematography, production design and visual effects are awards-worthy.
Music also propels the movie. It presents American Idol runner-up, Adam
Lambert, who provides a rousing anthem over the end credits.
