art form. It involves a live performance where the artist (5) __________ sand on a surface and uses his or 
her fingers to create ever changing shapes and images.
 (6) __________ the form, art provides individuals with the possibility for personal growth. No

PART 3. Read the following passages and CIRCLE A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each 
question. (1.0 pt.)
PASSAGE A:
 Early Medicine
 Life in ancient times was difficult; there were constant wars, much famine and few cures for diseases 
which ravaged the society. Therefore, the treatment of illness and injury greatly concerned the ancients. 
What methods did ancient cultures use to fight disease and injury? All ancient cultures had a mythological 
divine healer. For the ancient Greeks it was Asklepios, the god of medicine. Sanctuaries dedicated to him, 
called Asklepieons, attracted the ill and injured, who would often travel from far and wide to seek relief 
 DeThiTiengAnh.net Bộ 21 Đề thi Tuyển sinh 10 Tiếng Anh các tỉnh 2025-2026 (Có đáp án)
from whatever ailed them at these healing centers. They were often in settings of spectacular natural beauty. 
The main Asklepieon in ancient Greece was in Epidaurus. It was similar to a modern spa in that the patients 
were offered special purifying baths, followed by a diet - what we would call a detox diet today - that lasted 
for several days. Once patients were cleansed, they entered a sleep chamber for one or two nights. They 
would then receive a visit from the god in the form of a dream, and he would heal the patients directly or 
tell them how to cure their illness.
 Ancient healing, however, involved more than just healthy food and dream analysis. From the 
writings of Hippocrates, the best-known ancient physician, we learn that ancient doctors knew how to heal 
infected wounds by lancing, draining and cleaning them. They also knew how to use herbs to treat a 
spectrum of illnesses. Ginger was effective in treating nausea and is still used today for the same reason; a 
special clay was useful in fighting problems in the digestive system. Scientific analysis has revealed that 
the clay was similar to kaolin, which is used in modern medicines to treat diarrhoea.
 Surgery was also part of the ancient physician’s vast repertoire. The famous Greek physician, 
Galen, successfully removed cataracts from the eyes with the use of a needle. He was also aware of the 
importance of hygiene and so kept his ‘operating theatre’ spotlessly clean. He did, however, have a 
misconception regarding his notion that the stomach lining played no role in the process of digestion.
 Archaeologists have revealed other medical practices in the ancient world. Skeletal remains show 
evidence of quite surprising surgical procedures. Skulls have been excavated that show signs of trepanation 
- a procedure still used today in which a hole is drilled into the skull to relieve pressure caused by head 
trauma. Skulls treated in this way from ancient societies around the world indicate that the practice goes 
back as far as 10,000 BC. By studying the regrowth of the bone around the hole in the skull, it is possible 
to determine how long the patient survived after the surgery. Some did not survive, some lived a little 
longer, but others healed completely.
 Excavations in Israel have also revealed evidence of ancient dental procedures. In a desert grave, a 
2,200-year-old skull was found that had a dental filling, which was a very short bronze wire placed into the 
tooth. Elsewhere, in the catacombs of Rome, which were used from the 1st to the 5th centuries AD, skulls 
were found with gold fillings. Not surprisingly, further information about ancient health care can be found 
in the graves of ancient doctors. Depicted in stone tablets are the instruments they used. These objects are 
almost identical to the cutting-edge instruments used by doctors and surgeons today.

PASSAGE B:
 There are many different types of places to eat. One important question is who uses different 
places and how often they go. As sociologists, we are very interested in social and cultural characteristics 
of people who behave differently. Such characteristics indicate the financial, social, practical and cultural 
forces systematically distributed across the population, which constrain or encourage people to engage in 
particular ways of eating out.
 We asked respondents how often they ate out under different circumstances. Excluding holidays 
and eating at the workplace, on average the respondents to the survey ate a main meal out on commercial 
premises about once every three weeks. Twenty-one per cent ate out once a week, a further forty-four per 
cent at least monthly and only seven per cent claimed never to eat out. Mean frequency of eating at 
someone else’s home was about the same, but a much larger proportion (twenty per cent) never did so.
 Twenty per cent of respondents claimed never to eat in the home of other family members, and 
about one third never at the home of friends. Very regular eating out with either kin or friends was not 
very prevalent, but being a guest at a main meal in someone else’s home is part of the life experience of 
a large majority of population. There is a strong positive association between being a guest of friends, 
guest of family and commercial eating out. Opportunities to eat out are cumulative, particularly eating out 
commercially and with friends.
 To be seen in the right places and in attractive company, or at least to let others know that we are 
familiar with the most exciting or rewarding of experiences, is part of a process of display and 
performance which contributes to reputation. Early sociologists examining consumption were particularly 
interested in the claiming and attributing of status through exhibitions of a prestigious style of life. They 
were particularly concerned with the ways in which individuals established reputations for refinement, 
superiority and distinction. Consumption patterns reflected social standing, and particularly class 
position. Eating out is a potential means for such display through the use and avoidance of different 
venues.
(Adapted from CAE Objective)
6. Which of the following are sociologists interested in the topic of eating out?
A. The traits of people who choose to eat out
B. The types of places that people choose to eat out in
C. The changes over time in patterns of eating out
D. The frequency with which people eat out with friends

C. People will receive more rewards from their companies if they eat out at fancy restaurants with good-
