Chú ý khi giải:
Dịch bài đọc:
Các ngôi sao là đặc điểm quan trọng trong thiết kế của nhiều đồng tiền Hoa Kỳ và số lượng của chúng thay đổi từ một đến bốn mươi tám sao. Hầu hết các đồng tiền được phát hành từ khoảng năm 1799 đến những năm đầu của thế kỷ XX đều có hình mười ba ngôi sao tượng trưng cho mười ba thuộc địa ban đầu.
Thật kỳ lạ là, những đồng bạc đầu tiên của Mỹ, được phát hành vào năm 1794, có mười lăm ngôi sao bởi vì vào thời điểm đó Vermont và Kentucky đã gia nhập Liên minh. Vào thời điểm đó, rõ ràng các quan chức của xưởng đúc tiền có ý định thêm một ngôi sao cho mỗi bang mới. Ví dụ, sau khi Tennessee được gia nhập vào năm 1796, một số loại đồng nửa dimes, dimes và nửa đô la đã được sản xuất với mười sáu ngôi sao.
Tuy nhiên, khi nhiều tiểu bang được gia nhập vào Liên minh, nhanh chóng trở nên rõ ràng rằng kế hoạch này sẽ không chứng minh được tính thực tế và các đồng tiền từ năm 1798 chỉ được phát hành với 13 sao - một sao cho mỗi thuộc địa ban đầu. Do lỗi tại xưởng đúc tiền, một loại đồng nửa xu năm 1828 chỉ được phát hành với mười hai sao. Ngoài ra còn có nhiều loại đồng xu lớn chỉ có 12 sao, nhưng đây là kết quả của sự tan vỡ và không phải là lỗi thực sự.

In the last third of the nineteenth century, a new housing form was quietly being developed. In 1869 the Stuyvesant considered New York's first apartment house was built on East Eighteenth Street. The building was financed by the developer Rutherfurd Stuyvesant and designed by Richard Morris Hunt, the first American architect to graduate from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Each man had lived in Paris, and each understood the economics and social potential of this Parisian housing form. But the Stuyvesant was at best a limited success. In spite of Hunt's inviting façade, the living space was awkwardly arranged. Those who could afford them were quite content to remain in the more sumptuous, single-family homes, leaving the Stuyvesant to young married couples and bachelors.
The fundamental problem with the Stuyvesant and the other early apartment buildings that quickly followed, in the 1870's and early 1880's was that they were confined to the typical New York building lot. That lot was a rectangular area 25 feet wide by 100 feet deep – a shape perfectly suited for a row house. The lot could also accommodate a rectangular tenement, though it could not yield the square, well-lighted, and logically arranged rooms that great apartment buildings require. But even with the awkward interior configurations of the early apartment buildings, the idea caught on. It met the needs of a large and growing population that wanted something better than tenements but could not afford or did not want row houses. So while the city's newly emerging social leadership commissioned their mansions, apartment houses and hotels began to sprout in multiple lots, thus breaking the initial space constraints.
In the closing decades of the nineteenth century, large apartment houses began dotting the developed portions of New York City, and by the opening decades of the twentieth century, spacious buildings, such as the Dakota and the Ansonia finally transcended the tight confinement of row house building lots. From there it was only a small step to building luxury apartment houses on the newly created Park Avenue, right next to the fashionable Fifth Avenue shopping area.
The new housing form discussed in the passage refers to ______.Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky have joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half dollars were produced with sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen Stars - one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half-cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error.
