Read the passage and choose the letter (A, B, C or D) to indicate the correct answer to each of the following
questions.
Craig Giles, the cookie boy
When Craig Giles was six, he told his mother he didn’t like taking the bus to school. All his teachers had cars,
and he wanted to get her a car to drive him there too. He had the idea of selling snacks to pay for one. With his
mother’s help, he started Mr. Craig’s Cookies business.
Craig and his mother spent a long time learning to bake. When Craig was ready to start selling his cookies, he
wasn’t sure if any customers would want to buy them, but everyone immediately loved them! Then Craig’s mum
had an idea — she wanted Craig to save the money he made, so he could go to college one day.
Making cookies wasn’t easy. “They were either too hard or too soft,” explains Craig’s mum. They didn’t want
to buy a costly new cooker. But then one day last month, they baked some more cookies and tried them. It was an
amazing moment — they both immediately knew that the cookies tasted just right!
The cookies are made from the best ingredients — including sugar. Craig understands that many of his
customers want to eat things that are good for them. And that’s why he now makes low-sugar cookies as well.
Craig’s mother has been an important part of her son’s success. She explains, “Cookies taught me about
business. Because of cookies, my son and I have met some amazing people. Cookies have really improved my
son’s life, and mine.”
23. Craig started his cookie business
A. since he didn’t want to study at school anymore
B. so that he could earn money to buy his mother a car
C. because his mother wanted him to start working
D. after a teacher suggested it to him
24. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. Craig and his mother B. colleges
C. customers D. cookies
25. Craig’s mother wanted him to .
A. go to college B. do a cooking course
C. get more customers D. sell cookies online
26. The word “costly” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to .
A. pricey B. expensive
C. cheap D. liveable
27. In the last paragraph, Craig’s mother describes .
A. how cookies have helped Craig and her
B. what she likes about making cookies with Craig
C. why she and Craig have a successful cookie business
D. how she teaches Craig to make cookies

GỢI Ý:
One of the most impressive places in Dong Nai that I take great pride in is Giang Dien Waterfall, situated in Trang
Bom District. This eco-tourism site is well-known for its breathtaking scenery, fresh atmosphere, and peaceful
nature. Visitors can go camping, have a picnic, or take beautiful photos by the waterfall. The best time to visit is
during the dry season, when the weather is nice and the waterfall is calm. What I love most about this place is its
refreshing beauty and how it helps me relax and connect with nature.
DỊCH BÀI:
Một trong những địa điểm ấn tượng nhất ở Đồng Nai mà tôi rất tự hào là Thác Giang Điền, nằm ở huyện Trảng
Bom. Khu du lịch sinh thái này nổi tiếng với phong cảnh tuyệt đẹp, bầu không khí trong lành và thiên nhiên yên
bình. Du khách có thể cắm trại, tổ chức picnic hoặc chụp những bức ảnh đẹp bên thác nước. Thời điểm lý tưởng
nhất để đến đây là vào mùa khô, khi thời tiết dễ chịu và thác nước hiền hòa. Điều tôi yêu thích nhất ở nơi này là vẻ
đẹp tươi mát và cảm giác thư giãn mà nó mang lại, giúp tôi kết nối với thiên nhiên.
