122. What is the main idea of this paragraph?
In 1866 he started selling canvas trousers called Levi’s and the miners bought them faster than Strauss could make them. Strauss soon received a lot of advice on ways to improve his jeans. In 1873 Jacob Davis gave him an idea to make the jeans even stronger by adding metal rivets to the pockets so that they would not tear. Strauss liked the idea and decided to use it. However, many people complained that the canvas was uncomfortable, so Strauss changed from canvas to a heavy denim material. It was dyed indigo blue and miners liked the new material because dirty marks did not show on the dark colour.
Đáp án: Levi’s went through several changes before the best design was found
123. What is the main idea of this paragraph?
By the 1920s, the miners had left California and instead cowboys and steel workers were buying Levi’s. It became the leading brand in men’s work clothing. In the 1950s, after movie stars Marlon Brando and James Dean were seen wearing them, jeans became a common item of clothing for all Americans. Today Levi’s jeans are still one of the most popular products of American culture
Đáp án: The market for jeans has extended beyond its original target group
124. What is the main idea of this paragraph?
Levi Strauss was born in 1829 in Bavaria, which is part of present-day Germany. As a young man he moved to the USA and settled in New York. In 1853, the young immigrant decided that he wanted to start his own business. He moved from New York to San Francisco, where the gold rush was well underway. He travelled across Panama and began trading on 14 March that year.
Đáp án: Levi Strauss moved from Europe to the USA, where he started his own company.
125. What is the main idea of this paragraph?
Unlike many other hopeful travelers, Strauss did not go to California to mine for gold. He sold tents and covers for wagons to the miners. One day a man asked Strauss if he sold trousers. Looking for gold was hard work and miners needed clothes that would last. This conversation inspired Strauss to make strong trousers suitable for workers
Đáp án: Strauss got the idea for Levi’s after speaking to a miner.
126. What is the main idea of this paragraph?
In 1873 the jeans sold for 22 cents a pair. By the end of that year, demand for the product had increased dramatically. Strauss opened a factory in San Francisco and hired hundreds of workers to keep up with demand. When he died in 1902, the company kept going.

Đáp án: proof
136. Which idea is mentioned in this paragraph?
While the cerebrum is perhaps the key to the brain’s secrets, the other four main parts are also essential. The cerebellum is much smaller than the cerebrum. It is situated at the back of the brain and controls balance, movement, and coordination. Problems with the cerebellum can lead to neurological disorders such as epilepsy or more minor seizures. The brain stem sits between the cerebrum and the cerebellum, connecting the brain to the spinal cord. It helps the body carry out the functions needed to keep us alive, such as breathing, digesting, and blood circulation. Finally, the pituitary gland controls growth through the release of hormones, and the hypothalamus controls temperature.
Đáp án: The parts of the brain not mainly concerned with thought
137. Which idea is mentioned in this paragraph?
Your brain has five main parts that work together. In order of size, they are the cerebrum, the cerebellum, the brain stem, the pituita,ry and the hypothalamus. The average adult human brain weighs approximately 1,300 to 1,400 grams. A newborn baby’s brain weighs between 350 and 400 grams. Men’s brains weigh a little more than women’s, but there is no relationship between the size of a person’s brain and their intelligence. However, some people have joked that the fact that a man’s brain weighs more than a woman is proof that heavier brains are less effective! In fact, Albert Einstein’s brain weighed 1,230 grams, far less than the average brain.
Đáp án: An amusing observation about the brain’s mass
138. Which idea is mentioned in this paragraph?
The brain is an organ made of soft tissue and can be seen as a kind of control center for the body. It takes care of all the essential processes the body needs to perform in order to survive. When we are awake, we are only aware of some of these processes. In contrast, the brain remains alert both day and night.
Đáp án: A general description of the brain
139. Which idea is mentioned in this paragraph?
The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum, accounting for about 85% of the brain’s weight. It is the part of the brain that controls the voluntary muscles, such as those you might need when writing an email, eating or playing sports. There have been many papers published on the cerebrum, in particular on the exact role played by its two halves. Neuroscientists believe that the right half is mainly responsible for abstract thought about music, colors, and shapes. The available evidence suggests that the left half is more analytical, and is involved in activities such as maths, logic, and speech.
