social acceptability of smoking.

region and the world in protecting its citizens from the debilitating and disastrous consequences of tobacco use."

Vietnamese Ministry of Health to train of over 4,000 SEA Games organizers and volunteers on the
implementation of the tobacco-free policy. An international team of trainers from the Ministry of Health,

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 from 35 to 42.
Any list of the greatest thinkers in history contains the name of the brilliant physicist Albert Einstein. His
theories of relativity led to entirely new ways of thinking about time, space, matter, energy, and gravity.
Einstein's work led to such scientific advances as the control of atomic energy, even television as a practical
application of Einstein's work. In 1902 Einstein became an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern. In 1905,
at age 26, he published the first of five major research papers. The first one provided a theory explaining
Brownian movement, the zig-zag motion of microscopic particles in suspension. The second paper laid the
foundation for the photon, or quantum, theory of light. In it he proposed that light is composed of separate
packets of energy, called quanta or photons, that have some of the properties of particles and some of the
properties of waves. A third paper contained the "special theory of relativity" which showed that time and
motion are relative to the observer, if the speed of light is constant and the natural laws are the same everywhere
in the universe. The fourth paper was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. Here Einstein
presented his famous formula, E = m(cc), known as the energy mass equivalence. In 1916, Einstein published
his general theory of relativity. In it he proposed that gravity is not a force, but a curve in the space-time
continuum, created by the presence of mass. Einstein spoke out frequently against nationalism, the exalting of
one nation above all others. He opposed war and violence and supported Zionism, the movement to establish a
Jewish homeland in Palestine. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they denounced his ideas. He then


moved to the United States. In 1939 Einstein learned that two German chemists had split the uranium atom.
