The task has been offline-graded at lequocan@pmail.vnn.vn and posted onto 15000 email addresses and the four websites: www.dethi.com , www.forabroad.info/vn/ , http://diendan.vietnamnet.vn/category.asp , http://www.e4vn.com/ , and www.ttvnol.com/english.ttvn .
Europa is the smallest of planet Jupiter?Ts four largest moons and the second moon out from Jupiter. Until 1979, it was just another astronomy textbook statistic. Then came the close-up images obtained by the exploratory spacecraft Voyager 2, and within days, Europa was transformed - in our perception, at least - into one of the solar system?Ts (5) most intriguing worlds.
Europa là mặt trăng nhỏ nhất trong số bốn mặt trăng lớn nhất của Mộc Tinh và là mặt trăng thứ hai cách xa từ sao mộc. Mãi tới năm 1979, nó chỉ là một số liệu thống kê nữa trong sách giáo khoa thiên văn. Rồi thì đến những hình ảnh cận cảnh thu được bởi tàu vũ trụ khám phá Voyager 2, và chỉ trong vài ngày, Europa đã được chuyển - ít nhất trong quan niệm của chúng ta ?" thành một trong những thiên thể hấp dẫn nhất của hệ mặt trời.
The biggest initial surprise was the almost total lack of detail, especially from far away. Even at close range, the only visible features are thin, kinked brown lines resembling cracks in an eggshell. And this analogy is not far off the mark.
Nổi ngạc nhiên lớn nhất thuở đầu là hầu như hoàn toàn thiếu những chi tiết , đặc biệt là nhìn từ xa. Thậm chí ở phạm vi gần, đường nét duy nhất nhìn thấy được chỉ là những đường xoắn mảnh màu nâu, tương tự vết nứt trên vỏ trứng. Và sự tương đồng này thì không sai lệch bao nhiêu theo ước tính.
The surface of Europa is almost pure water ice, but a nearly complete absence of craters indicates that Europa?Ts surface ice resembles Earth?Ts Antarctic ice cap. The (10) eggshell analogy may be quite accurate since the ice could be as little as a few kilometers thick ?"a true shell around what is likely a subsurface liquid ocean that, in turn, encases a rocky core.
Bề mặt của Europa hầu như là khối băng nguyên chất, nhưng việc thiếu gần như hoàn toàn những miệng núi lửa chỉ rõ rằng bề mặt băng của Europa tương tự như chỏm băng Nam Cực của trái đất. Nét tương đồng như vỏ trứng này có lẽ khá chính xác vì lớp băng có lẽ dày chưa tới vài km - một lớp vỏ thật sự bao quanh cái như thể là một đại dương không đóng băng cận bề mặt mà lần lượt bao bọc một lõi đá.
The interior of Europa has been kept warm over the eons by tidal forces generated by the varying gravitational tugs of the other big moons as they wheel around Jupiter. The tides on Europa pull and relax in an endless cycle. The resulting internal heat (15) keeps what would otherwise be ice melted almost to the surface.
Phần bên trong của Europa đã được giữ ấm vĩnh viễn do lực thuỷ triều phát ra bởi những sức kéo trọng lực khác nhau từ những mặt trăng lớn khác khi chúng quay quanh Sao Mộc. Thuỷ triều trên Europa lên và xuống trong một chu trình vô tận. Nội nhiệt mang lại sẽ giữ cái có lẽ không gì khác hơn là băng, tan chảy hầu như trên toàn bề mặt.
The cracklike marks on Europa?Ts icy face appear to be fractures where water or slush oozes from below. Soon after Voyager 2?Ts encounter with Jupiter in 1979, when the best images of Europa were obtained, researchers advanced the startling idea that Europa?Ts subsurface ocean might harbor life.
Dấu vết giống nứt nẻ trên bề mặt băng của Europa dường như là các vết rạn nơi mà nước hay bùn loãng rỉ lên từ bên dưới. Sớm sau sự chạm trán của Voyager 2 với Sao Mộc năm 1979, khi mà những hình ảnh tốt nhất của Europa được thu lại, thì những nhà nghiên cứu đã đưa ra ý tưởng gây sửng sốt rằng đại dương bên dưới mặt băng có lẽ ẩn giấu sự sống.
Life processes could have begun when Jupiter was releasing a (20)vast store of internal heat. Jupiter?Ts early heat was produced by the compression of the material forming the giant planet. Just as the Sun is far less radiant today than the primal Sun, so the internal heat generated by Jupiter is minor compared to its former intensity.
Tiến trình hình thành sự sống có thể đã bắt đầu khi Sao Mộc phóng thích một lượng dự trữ nội nhiệt khổng lồ. Nhiệt ban đầu của Sao Mộc được sản sinh bởi sức nén của vật chất hình thành nên hành tinh khổng lồ này. Y như Mặt Trời ngày nay có bức xạ nhiệt ít hơn Mặt Trời thuở ban sơ, nên nội nhiệt phát ra bởi Sao Mộc cũng nhỏ hơn được so với cường độ trước kia của nó.
During this warm phase, some 4.6 billion years ago, Europa?Ts ocean may have been liquid right to the surface, making it a crucible for life.
Trong suốt thời kỳ ấm áp này, khoảng 4.6 tỷ năm trước, biển của Europa có lẽ đã là thể lỏng ngay trên bề mặt, và đồng thời khiến cho nó trở thành một thử thách gam go cho sự sống.
NOTE
Be off the mark = not to be accurate in a guess, statement, etc:
Ex: No, you''re way off the mark.
Aeon (BrE) (also eon AmE, BrE): noun - (formal) an extremely long period of time; thousands of years:
Ex: Aeons of geological history * Only yesterday-and it seemed aeons ago, not just a few hours-he had been a happily married man.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
The word health can be used in a number of ways. In the past, health was only the absence of disease or illness. Today, though, health has a broader meaning. Health is the state of your well-being that includes how you feel physically, mentally, and socially. Wellness is another term that describes this broader view of health. You can understand the need for a broader definition if you think about how health in your life is different from health in your grandparents'' lives.
Từ sức khoẻ có thể được sử dụng theo một số cách. Trong quá khứ, sức khoẻ chỉ là không có sự hiện diện của bệnh tật hay đau ốm. Tuy vậy, ngày nay sức khoẻ có nghĩa rộng hơn. Sức khoẻ là trạng thái khoẻ mạnh khi xét đến việc bạn cảm thấy như thế nào về mặt thể chất, tinh thần và xã hội. Khoẻ mạnh là một thuật ngữ khác mà nó mô tả quan điểm rộng hơn này về sức khoẻ. Bạn có thể hiểu sự cần thiết cho định nghĩa bao quát hơn này nếu bạn xem xét về sức khoẻ trong cuộc sống của bạn thì khác với sức khoẻ trong cuộc sống của ông bà của bạn như thế nào.
In 1900, the main causes of death were diseases that were spread by bacteria and viruses. If you had lived then, the danger of your dying from pneumonia would have been three times greater than the danger of your dying from cancer.
Trong năm 1900, nguyên nhân chính của cái chết là bệnh tật lây lan bời vi khuẩn và vi rút. Nếu bạn từng sống thời đó, thì nguy cơ của việc chết do viêm phổi của bạn sẽ lớn gấp ba lần nguy cơ của việc chết vì ung thư.
The diseases that were most common in 1900 affected people of all ages. It is not surprising, then that around 1900, the emphasis of health was on freedom from illness. Today many of the diseases that were common in 1900 can be prevented or cured by improved medicines and methods of sanitation. Most diseases now are likely to occur later in life. You as a teenager will probably not have to think about the same threats to your health as your grandparents did.
Những bệnh mà phổ biến trong năm 1900 tác động đến nhiều người thuộc mọi lứa tuổi. Không có gì ngạc nhiên khi đó rằng vào khoảng năm 1990, sự chú trọng về sức khoẻ là vào việc không bị nhiểm bệnh.

TOEFL READING SECTION
YOUR TASK IS NOT GRADED WITHOUT YOUR VIENAMESE TRANSLATION.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to lock at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors, I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all) Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions -- actions which might otherwise appear "strange," "confusing," or "unbelievable" when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigner''s own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter and action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.
31. Can an ordinary American tell you his/her value system?
A. Yes, because this is something an American lives by.
