The Martial Art of Vovinam<br /> was founded by Master Nguyen Loc in 1938.

Along with martial arts philosophies and health maintenance<br /> techniques, Vovinam provides a system of martial arts techniques that encompasses various forms of<br /> self-defence that are very effective in real life combat.<br /> Students are trained on strength, techniques, and philosophy to develop a solid body, strong<br /> endurance. Students will be living in a self-disciplined and forgiving way and become model citizens,<br /> serving oneselves, one’s family, one’s state, and mankind.<br /> Vovinam is very popular in Viet Nam, from big cities to small villages. It is cheap to register for<br /> a class anywhere. Students can practise with and without weapons while in combat or in daily life. It<br /> includes training of the body as well as the mind - the fighting spirit, courage, tenacity, fairness,<br /> modesty, and tolerance. Above all, the morality involved in Vovinam training and the way it teaches<br /> how to apply techniques to shape the students’ character.<br /> Nowadays, Vovinam is getting popular in Europe, especially in France, since the founder<br /> developed this martial art as a means to train Vietnamese youth against French colonialism. However,<br /> today the sport is also put into effect in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Belgium, Switzerland and other<br /> countries.<br /> <br /> http://www.aseantourism.travel/articles/detail/vovinam-viet-vo-dao<br /> Question 26: What is the main idea of the passage?<br /> A.

The human body<br /> is only a single structure, but it is made up of billions of smaller structures beginning with the cell,<br /> which is the smallest and simplest unit of any living matter. It can reproduce itself. In fact, the complex<br /> human body begins as a single fertilized cell that multiplies again and again. As the cells multiply,<br /> some specialize into cells for a particular part of the body or a specific function. Similar cells organize<br /> themselves into tissues. Four basic groups of them help the body’s organs and systems function<br /> properly: epithelial tissue, which forms the surface of the skin; connective tissue, which gives support<br /> and protection to the soft parts of the body including cartilage and bone; muscle tissue, which<br /> contracts and provides energy and mobility; and nerve tissue, which transmits information from one<br /> part of the body to another.<br /> The more complex units of the body are the organs and the bodily systems. An organ is<br /> composed of both cells and tissues and does a particular function. The stomach, heart, lungs, liver and<br /> brain are all organs. Internal organs often called viscera refer to the organs that are inner parts of the<br /> body. The most elaborate of all the component units of the human body are the systems. A system is<br /> a group of different organs of the body that work together and perform diverse functions. The human<br /> body has ten major systems: skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic,<br /> respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive. One system, the cardiovascular or circulatory system,<br /> includes the heart, blood and blood vessels. It has the major role of bringing needed substances to<br /> every part of the body, carrying away wastes, conveying white blood cells of the immune system and<br /> helping regulate body temperature. Every system of the body possesses the same level of intricacy as<br /> the cardiovascular system.<br /> Aside from major groups and systems, the human body has what is known as regional groups.<br /> There are seven of them in total: head, neck, upper limb, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and lower limb. Each<br /> of the groups can be subdivided into small parts, and each group contributes to the proper operating of<br /> the body in many ways. The upper limb, for example, includes the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow and<br /> shoulder. The facial parts enable a person to see, hear, smell and taste. However, in anatomy, the neck<br /> and head are regarded as one regional group. The neck serves to support the head and allows the<br /> individual to turn his or her head and flex it in all directions.<br /> <br /> (Source: Toefl iBT Activator Reading Advanced, 2014)<br /> Question 33: What is the main idea of the passage?<br /> A.
