 According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, pregnant women should not drink 
any form of alcohol. Pregnant women who think they have should be aware of the serious and negative effects 
alcohol on the development of the baby (fetus). 
 Alcohol is considered one of the most dangerous drugs for women during their pregnancy. Because 
alcohol is delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human 
fetus is particularly vulnerable to its effects. The reality is that the negative effects on a fetus are so 
pronounced that babies born after exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal the syndrome. As a 
pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, 
because the bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the mother, the alcohol passes directly into 
the bloodstream of the fetus as well. And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the 
same as in the mother. 
 For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of alcohol 
from her system per hour. However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed (how developed it is 
depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the alcohol from the blood of 
the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the mother's system by passing across the 
placenta, but this process is slow. By the time this takes place, major neurological damage may have already 
occurred. 
 Research has shown that as little as one drink of alcohol can produce significant, irreversible damage 
to the fetus. Babies born after exposure to alcohol generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to concentrate, 
and difficulty in remembering. Simply speaking, it is imperative that pregnant women avoid alcohol. 
Question 34: What is the main topic of this reading? 
 A. Women and drugs B. The dangers of pregnancy 
 C. The fetus and alcohol D. Drinking and the human body 
 Page 3/5- Mã đề 417 Question 35: It can be inferred that the development of a fetal liver depends on _________. 
 A. how many months pregnant the mother is B. how much alcohol the mother has consumed 
 C. how large the fetus is D. how well the mother has taken care of the fetus 
Question 36: How much time can it be inferred that it takes alcohol to enter a woman’s bloodstream after she 
takes a drink? 
 A. about one hour B. a few seconds C. several minutes D. at least 24 hours 
Question 37: According to the passage, how is alcohol finally returned to the mother's system? 
 A. It is carried through the bloodstream. B. It is transferred across the placenta. 
 C. It is expelled by the fetus's liver. D. It is not completely returned. 
Question 38: The word "its" in paragraph 2 refers to _________.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer 
to each of the questions. 
 Employees in many countries change jobs more often than previous generations of workers. They 
don't expect to find a job with a company that will take care of them for the rest their lives. But what is the 
cause of this trend? Is it a new economy, new ways of doing business, or the employees themselves? 
 A more globalized economy has had effect on employment. A large number of companies are now 
international, and one of them may decide that moving its offices from Germany to Poland, for example, is in 
its best interest. That means employees who live and work in Germany may be asked to relocate their families 
to a new country or be told that their jobs are simply eliminated. 
 Companies have also responded to economic pressures by restructuring for greater efficiency. This 
sort of change within a company usually means that unnecessary jobs are cut, or that fewer employees must 
do more work. In either case, some employees find themselves looking for new jobs. 
 New technology has also had an impact on workplaces. The increasing use of personal computers has 
meant fewer jobs for office secretaries, as their former bosses do their own word processing and letter writing, 
and for travel agents, as more travelers make their own reservations online. Automation, including the use of 
robotic devices, has replaced workers in clothing factories, post offices, and telephone companies, to name 
just a few. 
 Besides these economic and technological reasons, today's employees are also responsible for more 
frequent job changes. Workers in the past were less likely to leave a company because they were dissatisfied 
 Page 4/5- Mã đề 417 with working conditions or because they didn't get along well with their fellow employees. People today 
expect to enjoy their work and to get a high degree of personal satisfaction from what they do for a living. 
 Employees may also leave a job because they have learned all they can lean from their current job. 
Getting a new job means gaining new skills and making new contracts, and these skills and relationships 
could bring them a step closer to their "dream job", the one that is challenging, emotionally and financially 
rewarding, and preferably closer to home or their children's school. 
 Finally, companies start up and close down more quickly than they once did. Employees who suspect 
that their employer is not doing well may decide to start looking for a new position before the company closes 
its doors. 
Question 43: The passage is mainly about______. 
 A. reasons companies aren't taking care of employees as they once did 
 B. ways in which international companies have caused a loss of jobs 
 C. reasons employees change jobs more frequently than they did in the past 
 D. the contrast between employers of the past and employers nowadays 
Question 44: The phrase "closes its doors" in the last sentence probably means 
 A. stops a working day dismisses its workers B. stops doing business 
 C. dismisses its workers D. shuts all its doors 
Question 45: According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT ______. 
 A. some international companies may decide to move their offices to new places 
 B. sometimes higher efficiency comes from cutting unnecessary jobs 
 C. some travel agents have been affected because of new technologies 
 D. employees have no right to follow their dream of getting an excellent job 
Question 46: It can be understood from the passage that, nowadays, _______. 
 A.employees leave their jobs more because they can't have a good relationship with other co-workers 
 B. employees are actually as happy with their jobs as their fathers and grandfathers were with theirs 
 C. clothing factories, post offices and telephone companies are the only places using automation 
 D. employees sometimes falsely think they have learned all they can learn from their present jobs 
Question 47: Which of the following is NOT part of most people's dream job? 
 A. emotional rewards B. a long commute C. lots of money D. challenging work 
Question 48: How has globalization affected employment? 
 A. Companies may relocate and cut jobs. 
 B. Employees in Western Europe are at a disadvantage. 
 C. Companies are not interested in keeping employees 
 D. Employees may refuse to move to a different country. 
Question 49: What is one reason employees might keep their current jobs nowadays? 
 A. They are worried when the company is not successful. 
 B. They are happy and satisfied with their work 
 C. They want a higher salary and more benefits. 
 D. Their employers provide bad working conditions. 
Question 50: The word "they" in paragraph 5 refers to _______.
