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.
The term "folk song" has been current for over a hundred years, but there is still a good deal
of disagreement as to what it actually means. The definition provided by the International Folk
Music Council states that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on from
person to person by being listened to rather than learned from the printed page. Other factors that
help shape a folk song include: continuity (many performances over a number of years); variation
(changes in words and melodies either through artistic interpretation or failure of memory); and
selection (the acceptance of a song by the community in which it evolves).
When songs have been subjected to these processes, their origin is usually impossible to
trace. For instance, if a farm laborer were to make up a song and sing it to a couple of friends
who like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves, one of them
might forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gap, while the others, perhaps
more artistic, might add a few decorative touches to the tune and improve a couple of lines of
text. If this happened a few times there would be many different versions, the song's original
composer would be forgotten, and the song would become common property. This constant
reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music. Consequently, modern popular songs and
other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not professional musicians,
are not considered folk music.
The music and words have been set by a printed or recorded source, limiting scope for
further artistic creation. These songs' origins cannot be disguised and therefore they belong
primarily to the composer and not to a community.
The ideal situation for the creation of folk music is an isolated rural community. In such a
setting folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every stage in a person's life, from
childhood to death. Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs relating to calendar events, and

occupational songs are also likely to be sung.

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good
night's sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off - if it is milked from a
cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin, which has been
proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk
powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active
and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study



Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 149

published in The Journal of Medicinal Food. Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused
the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows' milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up
to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at
night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of
the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as
the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the
greater burden you will put on your body at night.

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.
The term "folk song" has been current for over a hundred years, but there is still a good deal
of disagreement as to what it actually means. The definition provided by the International Folk
Music Council states that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on from
person to person by being listened to rather than learned from the printed page. Other factors that
help shape a folk song include: continuity (many performances over a number of years); variation
(changes in words and melodies either through artistic interpretation or failure of memory); and
selection (the acceptance of a song by the community in which it evolves).
When songs have been subjected to these processes, their origin is usually impossible to
trace. For instance, if a farm laborer were to make up a song and sing it to a couple of friends
who like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves, one of them

might forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gap, while the others, perhaps


Trang 1/5 - Mã đề: 149

more artistic, might add a few decorative touches to the tune and improve a couple of lines of
text. If this happened a few times there would be many different versions, the song's original
composer would be forgotten, and the song would become common property. This constant
reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music. Consequently, modern popular songs and
other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not professional musicians,
are not considered folk music.
The music and words have been set by a printed or recorded source, limiting scope for
further artistic creation. These songs' origins cannot be disguised and therefore they belong
primarily to the composer and not to a community.
The ideal situation for the creation of folk music is an isolated rural community. In such a
setting folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every stage in a person's life, from
childhood to death. Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs relating to calendar events, and
occupational songs are also likely to be sung.
Question 24. The word "essence" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. first phase
B. basic nature
C. growing importance D. full extent
Question 25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a characteristic of the
typical folk song?
A. It is constantly changing over time.
B. It appeals to many people.
C. It contains complex musical structures.
D. It is passed on to other people by being performed.
Question 26. The word "subjected" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. reduced

B. modified
C. exposed
D. imitated
Question 27. The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to ____________.
A. memory
B. community
C. song
D. acceptance
Question 28. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Themes commonly found in folk music
B. Influences of folk music on popular music
C. The standards of the International Folk Music Council
D. Elements that define folk music
Question 29. According to the passage, why would the original composers of folk songs be
forgotten?
A. Audiences prefer songs composed by professional musicians.
B. Numerous variations of folk songs come to exist at the same time.
C. Singers dislike the decorative touches in folk song tunes.
D. Folk songs are not considered an important form of music.
Question 30. Which of the following statements about the term "folk song" is supported by the
passage?
A. The International Folk Music Council invented it.
B. It is considered to be out-of-date.
C. It has been used for several centuries.
D. There is disagreement about its meaning.
Question 31. The author mentions that published music is not considered to be folk music

A. the songs are generally performed by professional singers
B. the songs attract only the young people in a community
C. the original composer can be easily identified

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.
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good
night's sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off - if it is milked from a
cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin, which has been
proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk
powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active
and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study
published in The Journal of Medicinal Food. Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused
the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows' milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up
to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at
night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of
the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as
the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the
greater burden you will put on your body at night.

the correct answer to each of the questions.
The term "folk song" has been current for over a hundred years, but there is still a good deal
of disagreement as to what it actually means. The definition provided by the International Folk
Music Council states that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on from
person to person by being listened to rather than learned from the printed page. Other factors that
help shape a folk song include: continuity (many performances over a number of years); variation
(changes in words and melodies either through artistic interpretation or failure of memory); and
selection (the acceptance of a song by the community in which it evolves).
When songs have been subjected to these processes, their origin is usually impossible to
trace. For instance, if a farm laborer were to make up a song and sing it to a couple of friends
who like it and memorize it, possibly when the friends come to sing it themselves, one of them
might forget some of the words and make up new ones to fill the gap, while the others, perhaps
more artistic, might add a few decorative touches to the tune and improve a couple of lines of
text. If this happened a few times there would be many different versions, the song's original
composer would be forgotten, and the song would become common property. This constant
reshaping and recreation is the essence of folk music. Consequently, modern popular songs and
other published music, even though widely sung by people who are not professional musicians,
are not considered folk music.
The music and words have been set by a printed or recorded source, limiting scope for

further artistic creation. These songs' origins cannot be disguised and therefore they belong
primarily to the composer and not to a community.
The ideal situation for the creation of folk music is an isolated rural community. In such a
setting folk songs and dances have a special purpose at every stage in a person's life, from
childhood to death. Epic tales of heroic deeds, seasonal songs relating to calendar events, and
occupational songs are also likely to be sung.
Question 3. What does the passage mainly discuss?

B. The standards of the International Folk Music Council

A. Audiences prefer songs composed by professional musicians.
B. Numerous variations of folk songs come to exist at the same time.

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good
night's sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off - if it is milked from a

cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that "night milk" contains more melatonin, which has been
proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk
powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active
and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study
published in The Journal of Medicinal Food. Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused
the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows' milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up
to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at
night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of
the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as
the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the
greater burden you will put on your body at night.
