The National Automobile Show in New York has been One of the top auto shows in the
United States since I900. On November 3 of that year, about 8,000 people looked over the
"horseless carriages." It was the opening day and the first opportunity for the automobile
industry to show off its wares to a large crowd; however, the black-tie audience treated the
occasion more as a social affair than as a sales extravaganza. It was also on the first day of
this show that William McKinley became the first U.S. President to ride in a car.
The automobile was not invented in the United States. That distinction belongs to
Germany. Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in I876.
Then, German engineer Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles in
the mid-I880s. But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile. The
auto show proved to be an effective means of getting the public excited about automotive
Products.
By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the entire car
population of the United States at that time. In 1900,10 million bicycles and an unknown
number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation. Only
about 4,000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those
were gasoline powered. The rest ran on steam or electricity.
After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show's audience favored electric
cars because they were quiet. The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from
steamers, and the gasoline-powered cars produced smelly fumes. The Duryea Motor Wagon
Company, which launched the American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive
designed to mask the smells of the naphtha that it burned. Many of the I900 models were

cumbersomethe Gasmobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example, steered with a tiller
like a boat instead of with a steering wheel. None of them was equipped with an automatic
starter.
These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable. They
were basically toys of the well-to-do. In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at Princeton
University and later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause
conflict between the wealthy and the poor. However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show
was a young engineer named Henry Ford. But before the end of the decade, he would
revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford. The Model T, first produced in
1909, featured a standardized design and a streamlined method of production the assembly
line. Its lower costs made it available to the mass market.
Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from $1,000 to $1,500, or roughly $14,000 to $21,000
in today's prices. By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than $300, and soon the price
would drop even further. "I will build cars for the multitudes, "Ford said, and he kept his
promise.
Question 13: The passage implies that the audience viewed the 1900 National Automobile
Show primarily as a(n)_________
A. chance to buy automobiles at low prices.
B. formal social occasion.

today. Thousands of these How-to books are useful. In fact, there are about four thousand
books with titles that begin with the words "How to". One book may tell you how to earn
more money. Another may tell you how to save or spend it and another may explain how to
give your money away.

'now to succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book " How to Turn Failure into
Success". If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book "How to Make a
Millionaire". If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called "How to Live
on Nothing".
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If
you want to have a better love of life, you can read "How to Succeed in Love every Minute of
Your Life". If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer books which give step-bystep instructions on how to redecorate or enlarge a house.

Question 25: Gii:
Loi sch no sau y KHNG a ra thng tin v cc ngh nghip?
Dn chng: Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a
career and how to succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book How to Turn
Failure into Success. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book How to
Make a Millionaire. If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called How to
Live on Nothing. (3 quyn sch a ra li khuyn v ngh nghip)
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If
you want to have a better love of life, you can read How to Succeed in Love every Minute of
Your Life. (quyn sch How to Succeed in Love every Minute of Your Life gip gii quyt

Why have How-to books become so popular? Probably because life has
become so complex. Today people have far more free time to use, more choices to
make, and more problems to solve. How-to books help people deal with modern
life. (Ti sao nhng quyn sch How- to li tr nn ph bin nh vy? C l bi

SAMPLE WRITING
Choosing a suitable job can be one of the most difficult decisions we have to make in our
lives. Personally, I would choose to become an English teacher as my job in the future. There
are several reasons for this. Firstly, although it is thought that teaching children is a
challenging job, I find it interesting to meet them every day. Another reason could be that I am

improve my English skills. Furthermore, only by sharing thoughts and ideas with them can I
understand them more and become a close friend of theirs. Finally, being a teacher can make
me become a responsible and patient person. In other words, teachers should be always good
examples for children to follow, so I think that they will be more responsible for everything
they do and become more patient with their students. Hopefully, by making every effort every
day, I will make my dream come true.
