In 776 B.C., the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greek’s chief 
god, Zeus. The warm climate for outdoor activities, the need for preparedness in war, and their lifestyle 
caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but 
later the games were opened to all free Greek males who had no criminal record. The Greeks emphasized 
physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, javelin 
throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed 
every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on 
their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as games of 
friendship and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also helped to 
strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities presented. 
The Greeks attached so much importance to the games that they calculated time in four-year cycles 
called “Olympiads”, dating from 776 B.C. The contest coincided with religious festivities and constituted 
an all-out effort on the part of participants to please the gods. Any who disobeyed the rules were

dismissed and seriously punished. These athletes brought shame not only to themselves but also to the 
cities they represented.

C. To honor Zeus. D. To crown the best athletes. 
Câu 34: The word “They” in paragraph 1 refers to _______. 
A. wars B. contests C. winners D. olive wreaths 
Câu 35: What is the main idea of this passage? 
A. The Greeks severely punished those who didn’t participate in physical fitness programs. 
B. The Greeks had always encouraged everyone to participate in the games. 
C. The Greeks had the games coincide with religious festivities so that they could go back to war when 
the games were over. 
D. Physical fitness was an integral part of the life of ancient Greeks. 
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 36 to 42. 
In 2011, on the popular American TV quiz show, Jeopardy!, two champions competed against a brand 
new opponent. Both Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter had won millions of dollars on Jeopardy!. Jennings 
once won 74 games in a row, the most ever. Then Rutter beat him in a tournament and set a new record 
for the most money won on Jeopardy!. Their new opponent, Watson, had never appeared on the game 
show and had only played practice games before, in which he often got answers wrong. 
However, Watson isn’t human. He, or rather it, is a machine, a wonder of technology made by 
researchers at IBM. In the game, Watson used math to decide on an answer. When a question was read 
out, Watson was immediately given the same question in electronic form. It analyzed the question and 
searched its memory bank - about the same as one million books of information - for possible answers. 
It then narrowed the options down to one answer. If Watson felt around 75 percent confident about the 
answer, it would answer the question. 
The way Watson thinks is very different from the way humans think. People often make decisions by 
listening to their emotions and feelings, even if they are unsure of the answer. As a computer, Watson 
couldn’t do this. People also watch and listen to those around them. Watson was not able to “listen” to the 
wrong answers given by his competitors. In one question, Jennings answered the question incorrectly and 
Watson later answered with the same wrong answer. Watson also made silly mistakes. In a question in the 
category U.S. Cities, Watson incorrectly answered Toronto, even though the city of Toronto is in Canada. 
An IBM researcher said Watson got confused because it saw in its memory bank that the U.S. is often 
called America. Toronto is considered a North American city, so that was the answer that Watson gave. 
Still, Watson defeated his human opponents somewhat easily and received the $1 million prize. The 
other players also won money for participating in the special game. Everyone left the game happy, as 
each player was earning money for different charities.
