According to a magazine article I read recently, we (46 - now) live in an age of increasing leisure. Not
only are more and more people reaching (47 – retirement) age with their taste for enjoyment and even
adventure relatively (48- intact – k bị ảnh hưởng) but the working week is becoming shorter and the
opportunities for (49 - leisure) are becoming greater and greater all the time. Not to mention the fact that
people tend to spend less time traveling to work or may even be working from home. What I can’t understand,
however, is who these people are. As far as I can (50 - tell) the whole thing is another one of those journalistic
fictions. I admit that there are a lot of retired people (51 - nowadays), but I am not sure that all of them are
dashing about learning hang-gliding or sailing single-handed (52 - round) the world. My own parents seem to
spend most of their time gazing at the television. And as for the shorter working week, I wish someone would
remind my company about it. I seem to be working longer hours (53 - all) the time. The little leisure time I
have is eaten into by sitting in traffic jams or waiting for trains to (54 - show) up at rain-swept platforms. I
haven’t noticed any dramatic improvements in my (55 - lifestyle) either, but perhaps I just have to wait until I
get my pension.
46. A. presently B. at the moment C. now D. at this time
47. A. retirement B. their C. later D. third
48. A. present B. survived C. free D. intact
49. A. this B. longer C. leisure D. people
50. A. concern B. imagine C. expect D. tell
51. A. in our days B. in these times C. nowadays D. now and again
52. A. round B. over C. through D. into
53. A. at B. for C. take D. all
54. A. keep B. line C. show D. set
55. A. cost of living B. lifestyle C. lifeline D. livelihood

The sea has always interested people. From it they can get food, minerals, and treasures. For thousands

from place to place throughout the world. Tourists who drive from the United States in Canada, for example,
are surprised when they buy gasoline for their cars. A gallon of gas costs more than they are accustomed to
paying. They complain that prices are much higher in Canada than in the United States. Then they discover
that they can drive farther on a Canadian gallon than on a United States gallon. Is it a different kind of gas?
No, it is a different kind of gallon. Canada uses the British, or imperial, gallon that is about one-fifth larger
than the United States gallon. Four quarts equal a gallon and two pints equal a quart in both countries. But
Canada’s quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the United States. The imperial gallon equals
277.42 cubic inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to 231 cubic inches. Measured in ounces,
Canada’s large gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States gallon holds no more than 128
fluid ounces. From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive farther on the Canadian gallon
than on the American gallon. Someday, countries may follow the example of the ancient Romans and make
weights and measures the same for every nation.
61. Canada has a different kind of____.
A. gasoline. B. gallon C. tourist. D. driver
62. A gallon of gas in Canada costs more____.
A. than Americans are used to paying. B. than the ancient Romans charged.
C. than the imperial British like. D. than American tourists afford.
63. Which statement does the article lead you to believe?
A. Americans should not travel so much. B. No one in Rome ever went to a temple.
C. It would be good to use the same measures everywhere. D. Canada should reduce their price of gasoline.
64. Why are American tourists surprised?
A. The price of a Canadian gallon of gas seems high. B. They didn’t know Canada sold gasoline.
C. They weigh more in Canada than in the United States. D. Canada has a shortage of gasoline.
