 In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their children. But this is 
not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a family group has many other members. 
This kind of large family is called an "extended family" or a "joint family". 
 Mã đề 323 - trang 2/4 
 The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother's or the father's side of the family. It is 
made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They live together in a large 
house or in huts built close together. Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a 
large group in order to survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to 
protect themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies. 
 In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his parents' home. 
Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children felt very loyal to their parents. 
Younger members of the joint families always took care of the old ones. 
 In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family share their 
earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the others help the person. As 
in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help and protection.

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 following questions from 39 to 45. 
 Becoming a teacher demands not only knowledge in an academic field but also a personal commitment 
to lifelong learning, and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with other people. To become one of those noble 
educators in the USA, one has to satisfy several basic requirements. 
 First and foremost, it is a prerequisite to have bachelor's degree in education. In the event that a 
candidate already has a bachelor's degree in another field, a teacher preparation program is needed. But that 
is not all. Almost every school in the USA understands that real classroom teaching experience is a vital part 
of a teacher's training. Before taking over a class, a person typically needs to complete a training program, 
including working as a supervised student teacher. 
 People who want to become university teachers need master's degrees. Getting a master's degree is a 
necessity, but if it is gained too early, there may be concerns that the candidate lacks the real-world 
 Mã đề 323 - trang 3/4 
 experience to go with it. In fact, very few schools want to hire novices with little or no classroom experience 
and even if they are accepted, they are usually ill-paid. One wise solution to the issue is for future post 
graduates to start working as teachers before going on to gain their master's degrees. 
 Besides knowledge and experience, certain personal qualities are also required. A teacher should be 
positive, prepared, focused, and most importantly, patient. Being a teacher involves being aware of the fact 
that learning sometimes be hard work, even for the most motivated students. Also, teaching can at times be 
tiring and frustrating, so teaching candidates have to practise being patient with themselves. In short, as in 
other careers, teaching requires a combination of qualifications, experience, and personal qualities. Teaching 
candidates meeting mandatory requirements are always in demand in the USA. 
 (Adapted from 
Question 39: Which of the following is the best title for the passage? 
 A. the importance of teachers. 
 B. the basic requirements of being a teacher in the USA.

Question 40: According to the text, the most important quality of a teacher is _______. 
 A. being to work hard B. being patient C. being prepared D. being a role model 
Question 41: The word “vital” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_______. 
 A. very useless B. very easy C. very important D. very interesting 
Question 42: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to _______. 
 A. university B. a master’s degree C. getting a degree D. experience 
Question 43: The word “novices” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_______. 
 A. beginners B. students C. experts D. professors 
Question 44: According to the text, all of the following sentences are true EXCEPT _______. 
 A. Those who want to become university teachers need doctor's degrees. 
 B. A teacher needs to be aware of the fact that learning can sometimes be hard work. 
 C. A small number of schools in the USA want to hire novices with little classroom experience. 
 D. In the USA, before one takes over a class, a training program is typically necessary to be completed.

 characteristics. 
 B. The number of candidates who possess the required criteria of teaching profession is on the rise.
