In Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth-song to the
child. In Kenya, the mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the cattle
are kept. There, her husband and the village elders wait to give the child his or her name.
In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big,
wide world, and friends and family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they
hold initiation ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays. When children reach a certain
designated age, they learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes
consider that children from nine to twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown up world. They may
have to carry out several tests.
Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation. The first stage lasts
about three months. The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to
become young warriors. At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also
circumcised. At the second stage, the young warriors grow their hair long and live in a camp called a
“manyatta” where they practice hunting the wild animals that might attack the Maasai herds. This stage
may last a few years. When they are ready, they will marry and become owners of large cattle herds like
their fathers. The girls are initiated when they are fourteen or fifteen. They are taught by the older women
about the duties of marriage and how to care for babies. Soon after that they are married and lead a life
similar to that of their mothers.

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. Trang 3


What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope about the future?
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields, from entertainment
to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared. Instead, people will choose a
program from a 'menu' and a computer will send the program directly to the television. Today, we can use
the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers
away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.
In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems. In many
places, agriculture is changing and farmers are growing fruit and vegetables to export. This uses a lot of
water. Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious
shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.
In transport, cars running on new, clean fuels will have computers to control the speed and there won't be
any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the
computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. On the other hand, space planes will take
people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United States Shuttle can go into space and
land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los
Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use
robots. Big companies prefer robots - they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24
hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere - in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there are electronic
devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and
deaf people see and hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already
produced clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how
they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.
Question 35: The passage mainly discusses ________________.
