TAKING BETTER PHOTOGRAPHS
Like many people, I have had a camera for a long time, and I have always enjoyed taking photographs of my family and friends, and places I have visited. Then, about a year ago, I noticed that most of the photos I was so of were in fact all very similar to each other. They all showed groups of people standing by a famous building or some attraction. You couldn't make out their faces clearly, and so it was difficult to get an idea of how everybody felt. I was looking for a new hobby at the time, and I decided that I would start taking photography more seriously. I thought it would be expensive. , after reading a few chapters of a book I borrowed from a friend, I realized that I could improve a great deal without spending a lot of money on new equipment. Soon, instead of just taking the same old pictures, I was photographing trees, animals, people I didn't know, and so on. This soon made a real difference to the of my photographs as I began to concentrate on getting the best picture possible. I am pleased with the results I have achieved in such a short time.
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
Unlike life in the countryside, which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in the city is modern and complicated. People from different regions move to cities in the hope of having a better life for themselves and their children. With plenty of job opportunities available in the city, the inhabitants work as secretaries, businessmen, teachers, government officials, factory workers, street vendors or construction workers, and so on.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially those with low income, to work harder or to take part-time jobs. For many people, daily life typically involves getting up in the early morning to do exercise in public parks, preparing for a hard day of working and studying, then traveling along crowded boulevards or narrow streets filled with motor scooters and returning home late at night. They usually live in large houses, high-rise apartment blocks, or even in small rental rooms equipped with modern facilities, like the Internet, telephone, television, and so on. Industrialization and modernization, as well as global integration, have big impacts on lifestyle in cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of clothes. The “Ao dai" - Vietnamese traditional clothes - is no longer regularly worn in Vietnamese women's daily life. Instead, jeans, T-shirts and fashionable clothes are widely preferred.

Read the passage and answer the questions.
A survey into the media habits of teenagers in the USA reveals some surprising statistics. The average teenager spends an incredible eleven hours each day on their mobile phones, computers, games consoles or TVs. That's more hours than they are awake outside school time! How are they able to do this? The answer, of course, is multitasking.
The results of the survey came as no surprise to fifteen-year-old participant Jake Kendall. He told researchers that he multitasked every second that he was online. He said that he was completing their survey at the same time as watching a TV show, chatting to friends online, and reading reviews of the latest film releases. For sixteen-year-old Malisa Sanchez, the survey simply confined the facts. She said that she had watched two hours of TV in the three hours since the end of school, and also researched her homework about volcanoes played an online game for two hours and arranged her weekend plans by texting friends.
Some experts are worried about the survey results. Sylvia de Lupis of the Family Action Institute told our reporter that teenagers would have difficulties because of their multitasking habits. She added that, as adults, they would struggle to focus their attention. However, Dr. Michael Rich from the Center on Media and Child Health said that worries about multitasking had become pointless a long time ago and that high levels of media use were now a part of young people's environment, 'like the air that they breathe, the water that they drink and the food that they eat'.
